"Final" version of tty child frames

"Final" version of tty child frames

[Gerd Möllmann]

I have (re-)created the scratch/tty-child-frames branch today, which
contains the code for child frames on ttys, based on a recent master.

I'm a happy user of this for a while now with corfu, vertico +
vertico-posframe + consult, transient + transient-posframe,
which-key + which-key-posframe. And my current todo list is now empty,
so here it is.

To use it, redefine these two functions:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun posframe-workable-p ()
  "Test posframe workable status."
  (and (>= emacs-major-version 26)
       (not (or noninteractive
                emacs-basic-display
                (or (featurep 'tty-child-frames)
                    (not (display-graphic-p)))
                (eq (frame-parameter (selected-frame) 'minibuffer) 'only)))))))

(cl-defgeneric corfu--popup-support-p ()
  "Return non-nil if child frames are supported."
  (or (display-graphic-p)
      (featurep 'tty-child-frames)))
#+end_src

To make things look nicer you might also want to

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(push '(tty-non-selected-cursor . t) vertico-posframe-parameters)
(push '(undecorated . nil) vertico-posframe-parameters))
(push '(undecorated . nil) transient-posframe-parameters))
#+end_src

The 'undecorated' frame parameter lets Emacs draw a border around the
child frame (default is no border). The tty-non-selected-cursor
parameter makes redisplay put the terminal cursor in a non-selected
frame which I find nice for things like consult-buffer. Which is why I
added it :-).

What's there fits my personal needs entirely. I am not interested in
full support of child frames as they exist on window systems because I
don't see child frames being used except for things like posframe and
corfu and similar. And, TBH, I don't find the tty frame code fun to
work with.

Other things not contained:

- Support for anything but termcap frames. I bet I broke MSDOS.
- Mouse support except with xterm-mouse-mode (no GPM).
- Drawing borders like it is normally done (internal border and so
  on). Tried that once, git reset --hard, won't happen.
- Tooltips. I think tooltips could relatively easily be implemented
  with child frames by copying or extracting the non-native tooltip
  code from x-show-tip or some such. From my POV, that would be best
  done by refactoring the tooltip code across window systems which I
  can't do.
- Documentation. Would only make sense to write if this goes into GNU,
  which might or might not happen, depending on, from my side, how
  much work that is.

Disclaimer: As I mentioned already in other contexts, I don't want to
be the maintainer of anything, for personal reasons.

Have fun!

Thanks.

We have difficulty working with "fire and forget" contributions of
this size and complexity.  Maybe Jared (CC'ed) could take a look and
clean up the branch, to prepare it for landing.  Or someone else with
interest in this stuff (Martin?).

Do you already have copyright assignment done so people can simply take
this up and merge it where it fits?

Gerd has assignment on file for a long time.  Otherwise, he wouldn't
have had write access to the Emacs Git repository, and couldn't have
pushed this branch in the first place.

Is there a way to test the feature without using corfu?  If so, can
you suggest some simple Lisp to see if the child frames work in a
build of this branch?

Does this compile cleanly for you?  I get gobs of warnings like this:

  dispnew.c: In function ‘gui_update_window_end’:
  dispnew.c:4495:34: warning: potential null pointer dereference [-Wnull-dereference]
   4495 |       hlinfo->mouse_face_beg_row = hlinfo->mouse_face_beg_col = -1;
	|       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This seems to be because you've changed the definition of
MOUSE_HL_INFO to be this:

  #   define MOUSE_HL_INFO(F)                                     \
    (FRAME_WINDOW_P (F)                                           \
    ? (FRAME_OUTPUT_DATA (F)                                      \
       ? &FRAME_DISPLAY_INFO (F)->mouse_highlight                 \
       : NULL)                                                    \
     : &(F)->output_data.tty->display_info->mouse_highlight)

I don't understand the need for this NULL there.  What is its purpose,
and what will we lose by going back to the original definition?  I
believe that NULL is what's causing these warnings.

Thanks.

Thanks for taking a look.

Something built-in you could try is show-paren-mode with
show-paren-context-when-offscreen set to 'child-frame. Not very useful,
but it should display a child frame at (0,0) of a window.

Or maybe

(defun my-make-child ()
  (interactive)
  (make-frame `((parent-frame . ,(selected-frame))
		(background-color . "gray10")
		(foreground-color . "white")
		(internal-border-width . 1)
		(top . 15)
		(left . 40)
		(width . 80)
		(height . 25))))

which is not really the use case I have in mind but anyway.

It probably crept in when I ported this. I can remove that if you want.

Can you explain this comment and the code change:

  +         /* Struct frame can move with igc, and so on.  But we need
  +            something that takes different frames into account. Use the
  +            face_cache pointer for that which is malloc'd. */
  +         if (glyph->frame && glyph->frame != f)
  +           face_id += (ptrdiff_t) glyph->frame->face_cache;

Why do we need to take the frame into account here?  Is this relevant
to the current GC used on master?

I cannot test much because I hardly ever use Emacs in a terminal window.
Setting size and position of the child frame work seamlessly.  I can
move the child frame completely out of the parent (but have not tried
what happens when it completely covers the parent) or make it invisible
and visible again.

One thing I noticed is that changing the background color works only
after I changed something like the position or size.  Also I would like
to get rid of those |+- borders.  What would I have to do?

I can try.

A combined frame matrix's glyph contents may come from different frames,
either the root frame one of its descendants (children, grandchildren
and so on). See copy_child_glyphs. glyph->frame is th eframe from where
the glyph stems. It is filled out when producing glyphs.

Face ids are valid only in frame's face cache. A Face with a given id in
one frame may be different from the same id another frame. So that's why
I'm taking the face cache into account here. Otherwise it could happen
that row hashes are the same although the contents are different. Not a
big deal, but one can avoid it, so I did.

That's code like this:

{
  int width, height;
  tty_display_dimension (display, &width, &height);
  return make_fixnum (height);
}

So width and height are returned by the call to tty_display_dimension.
TBH, I can't make sense of the warning. FWIW, clang doesn't complain.
Don't know what's the usual way is to placate GCC here. What version is
that BTW?

Probably a SET_FRAME_GARBAGED missing somewhere, or something like that.

If you want to get rid of the border completely add a frame parameter
(undecorated . t), Default if no no undecorated is specified, it to not
draw borders.

If you want Unicode chars instead, you could call
standard-display-unicode-special-glyphs.

Forgot to answer tha GC part: It's not relevant to non-MPS GC. (I'm
using igc here, normally.)

Insert UNINIT after the declaration of the variable affected by these
warnings.  E.g.,

  int height UNINIT ...

Why not simply include the frame pointer in the hash?  Adding a
pointer to a number looks kludgey, and might even make the hash
weaker.

With igc, frames move in memory, face caches are malloc'd.

I could: tty_display_dimension includes a switch without 'default',
and thus might not set width and height to any value.  I installed
what should be a fix for that, and I hope Martin will confirm that the
warning is now gone.

You mean, if undecorated is not specified, the default is to _draw_
the borders, yes?  Because the examples I used do not specify
undecorated, and the borders were drawn.

Ok, thanks. I thought that was an exhaustive switch, but apparently not.

It's this, so if it's not undecoreated.

  if (!FRAME_UNDECORATED (child))
    {
      /* Horizontal line above.  */

The double negation always gets me confused :-).

Thanks.  I'm not quite sure whether these should not be called the
internal borders.  Decorations are more - on GUIs they include the title
bar.

Two further things I noticed: When point in the parent frame is
effectively hidden by the child frame, its cursor sometimes appears at
the right of the child frame and sometimes it's not shown.  I have not
understood the underlying principle for this behavior.  Also when the
selected region in the parent frame is active, its overlay covers the
child frame.  That's ugly.

Btw, the current code has a problem here:

          int face_id = glyph->face_id;
	  [...]
          if (glyph->frame && glyph->frame != f)
            face_id += (ptrdiff_t) glyph->frame->face_cache;
	  [...]
          hash = (((hash << 4) + (hash >> 24)) & 0x0fffffff) + c;
          hash = (((hash << 4) + (hash >> 24)) & 0x0fffffff) + face_id;

face_id is an 'int', but 'ptrdiff_t' is a 64-bit data type in 64-bit
builds.  So the addition of face_cache pointer could overflow, which
AFAIK is UB with signed data types.  Moreover, 'hash' is declared
'unsigned int', and so is the data type returned by line_hash_code,
which only makes the problem worse.

Paul, should we make line_hash_code return 'size_t' instead (and
change the data type of the variables in 'scrolling' accordingly)?  Or
maybe we should simply mask off high bits of the face_cache's pointer,
leaving only the low 32 bits, before adding it to the hash?

Either approach should be correct. The attached (untested and 
uninstalled) patch does the equivalent of the latter, which is simpler. 
I don't know whether the more-complicated one would perform better.

This patch also fixes a glitch in that one should cast pointers to 
uintptr_t or to intptr_t, not to ptrdiff_t. The difference can matter on 
unusual platforms like CheriBSD where uintptr_t is wider than ptrdiff_t.

* 《红楼梦》的版本

曹雪芹的《红楼梦》亲笔原稿肯定早就找不到了，是不是因为原稿字迹太潦草，让人抄齐了以后他就不想再留，烧了呢？因此现存所有的本子都是抄的，而且还都不是直接从曹雪芹原稿手迹抄，是二传手，是抄本的抄本，甚至是三传手，四传手。大家抄来抄去，很多抄手还特别有才，自由发挥添加删改了不少地方。这些不同的版本有很多，所以自然就产生了这样一个问题：哪一个版本是最接近曹雪芹原著的？看《红楼梦》应该看哪一种最好？所以有必要把这些版本都列一下：
* 带脂评的手抄本，共11个版本：


书名《脂砚斋重评石头记》，胡适在1927年发现的，现藏于美国康奈尔大学。只有1—8，13—16，25—28，共16回，4册，4回一册，有一千多条脂批。第一回有其它各本没有的一句话：“至脂砚斋甲戌抄阅再评仍用石头记”所以叫甲戌本。只有此本有“凡例”，后两本把凡例融合在了正文里。甲戌是1754年，乾隆19年，红楼梦刚写完，曹雪芹39岁。
* 这是第一个基本成熟的本子，虽然残缺很多，但原本肯定是完整的，胡适的这个甲戌本当然不是1754年的原抄本，是谁在什么时候抄的已经无法考证，应该晚于程本的1791年。1754年之前的本子一般认为是不成熟本，缺失太多，分散出现在庚辰本之后的本子里，包括程本。

Hm, okay, but not sure how to fix that.

The problem comes indeed from the root frame displaying characters that
are more then 1 column wide, say N. When we output such a character to
the terminal, the cursor moves by N columns. Emacs represents that in
the glyph matrix by producing N glyphs for the character, all bu tthe
first have a padding flag set. So we have

  ... (C, 0) (C, 1) ...

in the glpyh matrix, where C is the character, and the number is the
padding flag.

Now assume, for example, that the child frame is posititoned so that its
left border where we want to display a '|' is in the column for the (C,
1).

That can't work, because writing C to the terminal moves 2 columns and 
will skip over the column where we want the '|' to appear.

I think the same should happen, in principle, without borders. Haven't
checked that though. Maybe we have to "clear the field" to the left and
right of child frames in the root frame matrix so that wide characters
don't interfere.

Another question is if there is something lurking with R2L? I have no
idea what terminals do in that case, but I'd guess Eli knows :-).

This is a bad news, if we can not fix this problem, enable this feature
all the world will be not a good idea.

It's too early to make changes in 3rd-party packages based on what you
see on the branch.  The branch is too young for that, and it's quite
possible that Lisp APIs related to this feature will change, when
enough people take a look at what's there.

I suggest to wait for this branch to land on master before you make
public changes in your packages.  Until then, please provide your
inputs and feedback for using the branch, so that it takes your use
cases into consideration.

Don't be pessinistic :-). I'm just figuring out what's the best way to
fix it. It's not that I don't have ideas.

I think the solution should be the same as what we do when a line
needs to wrap (i.e. be continued) and we don't have enough columns to
put all the N glyphs before the continuation glyph: we don't show the
entire N-glyph group.  IOW, the border glyph should be shown instead
of multi-column character, padded with enough spaces before it to make
up for the M < N glyphs of C that could be shown before the border.
In your example above, C will not be shown, and instead we will show
one space glyph followed by the '|' glyph.

Yes, I came up with this (WIP):

/* If the glyph in ROW at position X is part of a wide character, change
   every glyph belonging to the wide character to a space glyph.  */

static void
neutralize_wide_char (struct frame *root, struct glyph_row *row, int x)
{
  eassert (x >= 0 && x < root->desired_matrix->matrix_w);
  struct glyph *glyph = row->glyphs[0] + x;
  if (glyph->type == CHAR_GLYPH && CHARACTER_WIDTH (glyph->u.ch) > 1)
    {
      struct glyph *row_start = row->glyphs[0];
      struct glyph *row_limit = row_start + row->used[0];

      /* Glyph is somewhere in a sequence of glyphs for a wide
	 character, find the start.  */
      while (glyph > row_start && glyph->padding_p)
	--glyph;

      /* Make everything in the sequence a space glyph.  */
      eassert (!glyph->padding_p);
      make_glyph_space (glyph);
      for (++glyph; glyph < row_limit && glyph->padding_p; ++glyph)
	make_glyph_space (glyph);
    }
}

I have some problems reproducing the whole thing on my system with the
CJK file Feng Shu gave me. Hm.

Terminals should do nothing, and if your terminal emulator has a "bidi
reordering" feature, you should disable it, because Emacs does
everything by itself, and needs the terminal to be "dumb" in this
aspect.

Basically, we produce a glyph row where all the glyphs are flushed to
the right window edge, and there's empty space on the left of each
screen line to make it a full-width screen line.  The low-level write
code that writes to the terminal then works normally, writing glyphs
left to right.

The current branch hits an assertion violation when showing RTL text
in a child window.  (Showing RTL text in the parent window works
fine.)  Here's the recipe:

 emacs -Q -nw
 Evaluate in *scratch:

    (defun my-make-child ()
      (interactive)
      (make-frame `((parent-frame . ,(selected-frame))
		    (background-color . "gray10")
		    (foreground-color . "white")
		    (internal-border-width . 1)
		    (top . 15)
		    (left . 40)
		    (width . 80)
		    (height . 25))))

 M-x my-make-child RET
 C-x 5 o
 C-x C-f etc/tutorials/TUTORIAL.he RET

The backtrace from the assertion is below, including the data which is
involved.  As you see, X is 119 whereas the matrix_w is 108, which
violates the assertion.

Let me know if you want me to try something or show more data or maybe
tell you more about how RTL display works in TTY case.

The below adjust will show more issue:-)

1. Reduce terminal's width
2. let a long line auto wrap to many lines.

Could you please check with what I pushed now? There were several
problem, starting with an error I made while porting this, plus thinkos.
Strangely, I didn't run into the assertion with the recipe, so it's
probably best if you check yourself if it works now.

The assertion violation is gone, and the display seems correct, but I
now get compilation warning:

    CC       dispnew.o
  In file included from dispnew.c:27:
  dispnew.c: In function ‘combine_updates_for_frame’:

I have no idea what is GCC talking about.

Thanks for checking!

I don't have an idea what GCC means either. Can one perhaps turn off
inlining for the compilation? Maybe GCC then prints something less
cryptic.

I'm happy to be considered here and would be interested in helping out, 
but it would have to wait. I'm extremely busy at my job for the next 
month or so and unfortunately do not have time to take a contribution 
such as this to completion.

I'll check back in when my time clears up. I would certainly be 
interested in helping here if needed. I am certainly interested in 
making TTY Emacs more functional in general.

Jared, if you have time now, please take a look at this branch.  From
where I stand, once it works well with xt-mouse, we can land this
feature on master.

Spent time just playing with child frames to get familiar with things. A 
few bugs I noticed:

There's something in the C code that makes this branch not work with the 
mini-frame package (https://github.com/muffinmad/emacs-mini-frame). The 
package works fine in graphical mode.

I'm using posframe for iteration. There's a minor thing where the cursor 
position is inconsistent when at the end of a line with a posframe on it 
in the tty. Maybe that's intentional? It's kinda confusing to me.

There's also a major thing where I can click on the child frame in the 
tty and then my cursor is actually in the child frame and I can just 
alter the text there. That behavior is inconsistent with the behavior on 
graphical displays and something I can investigate.

The page says that the package is using mini-buffer-only frames, which
are not implemented, because I wasn't interested. See the #if 0
make_terminal_frame.

Could you please describe in detail what you are doing? I haven't
understood yet. Posframe and Corfu are BTW the reason I added the
child frames.

Child frames in the more general sense was not so interesting. Always
talking about me personally of course. I think I talked with Martin
about adding stuff as needed if users really want it, or something, and
ISTR he agreed. But Martin can speak for himself :-).

Could you please give a recipe? I don't understand yet what you mean.
Or, if you want to investigate, please do :-). Please don't hesitate to
ask me any question. At least I still remember more stuff about this
than about igc :-).

IIUC I use something similar to the mini-frame package and it's already
quite hairy to make the minibuffer frame pop up and automatically get
input focus.  The input focus thing will be hard to implement on ttys.

Is the cursor in the normal window or in the posframe window?

Do you mean that you do _not_ want to alter text in the child frame?

If you have the time, please also try to look into two issues I raised
earlier:

   Two further things I noticed: When point in the parent frame is
   effectively hidden by the child frame, its cursor sometimes appears at
   the right of the child frame and sometimes it's not shown.  I have not
   understood the underlying principle for this behavior.  Also when the
   selected region in the parent frame is active, its overlay covers the
   child frame.  That's ugly.

I think it would be good for unimplemented features to communicate that 
state to the user so users know clearly what is going on.  Right now the 
error a user sees is "Can’t change the ‘minibuffer’ parameter of this 
frame". Wouldn't it be better to have make-terminal-frame (a brand new 
function with no existing clients to support) error with something like 
"Minibuffer only frames are not supported in terminals"?

This also would avoid the bug that currently a minibuffer-only child 
frame gets left around which looks weird and confusing.

Are there any other intentionally unimplemented features?  It'd be nice 
to have similarly clean errors to inform users.

This was from me moving the cursor around (just using arrow keys) the 
text covered up by a child frame.

This is from me using the mouse while in xterm and clicking on the child 
frame.  Or just hovering over the child frame with 
mouse-autoselect-window set to t.  I'm guessing this is just due to the 
frame parameter no-accept-focus not being implemented.  Since this is a 
common path for posframe, I think it could be important to implement. 
Such an implementation probably needs to alter xt-mouse.el's generation 
of select-window events.

To reproduce:

(xterm-mouse-mode 1)
(posframe-show "*scratch*" :poshandler 
'posframe-poshandler-frame-center)
Click on the posframe.

Sure, we could do that, or someone implements minibuffer-only frames,
someone knowing how these work and are used on GUI. Or IOW, I feel
things are still a bit in undecided state, except on my side.

re-stacking (tty-frame-restack) is an example, or specifying frame
borders (what a WM would do).

So you have a child frame open covering a line of text in the parent
frame. And then move the cursor in the parent through obscured line? And
what do you mean with the cursor position being inconsistent?

(That would BTW be a child frame use-case which is not so interesting
for me personally, and something GNU has to decide if it's
important/essential or whatever. When is write GNU I mean whoever
decides that at the end.)

Could be no-accept-focus, I don't know. If so, and IIRC how that words,
this is another case where not having a window manager comes into play,
and one would have to decide If one wants to implement part of the
functionality of a WM in Emacs on ttys.

(One WM feature I've added because I think one cannot do without is
frame decoration/border. With the caveat that I could not get things to
work by using border-width and so on, with the result that git reset
--hard in a rage in the end (which doesn't happen often), and I don't
think I'll try again soon :-))

I think minibuffer-only frames _are_ implemented on TTYs (albeit not
very useful there).  They are not implemented as child frames, I
think.

But yes, emitting an explicit error message about something not
implemented would be definitely better.

Forgot something:

"Real" tooltip frames are not implemented. At the time I added toolips,
Emacs didn't have child frames, which led to the horrible special
handling of tooltips frames for GUIs.

And the tooltip code is spread and repeated over different GUI source
files.

I couldn't be bothered to untangle this to add tooltips for ttys, 
but there is tty-tip.el which does something very close using child
frames. Just use tty-tip-mode and move the mouse over mode-line items,
for example. Or over flymake errors, and so on.

Thanks.

Things otherwise seem fine with tty child frames. There's certainly 
oddness with mouse interaction, but it's not fundamentally broken in any 
way, just more things that don't work. In particular:

With xterm-mouse, as I highlighted earlier, I can select the child frame 
even if it is set as not selectable. Once a window in a child frame is 
selected, I can type there normally.

With gpm mouse, I have the opposite problem. I can never select the 
child frame and in fact the mouse behaves as if the child frame isn't 
there. Clicking and tooltip text both pay no attention to the child 
frame and just act on whatever is behind the child frame.

For both of these, I couldn't get mouse-face or clicking to work on 
child frames. I was doing the following:

(setq button (buttonize "[Click me]" (lambda (&rest _) (message 
"Clicked!"))))
(posframe-show " *buffer*" :string (concat "A\n" button "\nB"))

The posframe would show, but the mouse can't interact with the 
buttonized text. This may be a limitation of posframe though, it also 
didn't work in graphical mode.

That's really it. I don't see any major issues with child frames. As 
long as we're ok with saying that mouse support is not mature, it seems 
fine to me.

Hi Jared, thanks for testing!

And what you write is certainly true - if one wants to have child frames
like on GUI, with all bells and whistles, there are probably a lot of
things that await implementation :-).

WRT GPM: Sounds to me like this is because GPM hasn't been changes to
act analogous to xt-mouse. I think there only two commits to xt-mouse.el
in the branch. It's not much, if you look at the diffs, basically only

  - determine the frame F under (x, y) as reported by the terminal
  
  - Give Emacs (F, x', y'), where x' and y' are the coordinates
    relative to F

That was all I needed, in principle, at least for xterm-mouse, to make
things work. Don't know if that also fits for GPm.

If we don't see immediate ways of fixing some of these issues, I think
it should be okay to land this on master, if Stefan and Andrea agree.

Thanks.

In preparation, can I ask a few questions wrt landing?

What I seem to remember is that it entails a normal merge from
scratch/tty-child-frames to master. No squashing, no interactive
rebasing to fix commit messages first, or anything else complicated.

The merge commit message should have a certain form, IIRC. It should
probably contain some introductory text like "This adds tty child
frames...", and then ChangeLog-style entries.

For a new file it's basically sufficient to say "New file".

The rest gets a bit complicated, and I'm unsure how much detail is
required. Say I've changed function parameters of an existing function
plus I'm calling other functions whose API has changed plus added new
code. Does that all have to appear in ChangeLog-style? That could take
some time to produce.

Another question: I can produce a list of commit IDs for changes that
happened on the branch. Do we perhaps have some tool that produces these
change log entries automatically? Something akin to
magit-add-change-log-entry maybe?

Yes, that's the preference.

Preferably yes.  However, for changing the function's signature you
can say something like

  * foo.c (bar): Accept additional argument FOOBAR.  All callers
    changed.

(This is not different from the rules for any commit, not only
merge-commit.)

How would a tool know what to say in the description of the change?
Changes on feature branches usually don't have informative log
messages, they are usually minimal ("Fix crash in foobar" or
somesuch).

What I usually do is produce diffs for the merge, then use "C-x 4 a"
to generate the file/function names, and add a description.

That's right, magit-add-change-log-entry also only generates the
skeleton. Didn't think of that :-).

The diff I have, so I guess I'll give it a try, when the others agree.

Feel free, it will probably flash out a few more issues.  I actually
suggest to post some small portion first, to avoid the situation where
you do all of the job, only to discover that something's amiss or you

I'll also spend a bit of time to get GPM's mouse input to make the same 
transformations that Gerd added to xt-mouse.el.  It looks likely very

Thanks!

And attached is what I came up today, with the help of a lot of coffee.
The changelog is a page worth of changelog entries, the diff is from
what I created these. As introductory text I'd use

  This changeset adds support for child frames on ttys.

  The redisplay part is complete.  The frame-handling part supports
  use-cases like Posframe, Corfu, and child frames acting like tooltips.
  Other use-cases of child frames are not currently supported.  In
  particular, trying to create minibuffer-only child frames on ttys will
  signal an error.

I'd say

  Add support for child frames on ttys

(without the period).

The ChangeLog part looks reasonable.  My only comment is that you
could collect changes with the same description together.  For
example, instead of

	* lisp/frame.el (frame-at): New function.
	(tty-frame-geometry): Declare C function.
	(tty-frame-edges): Declare C function.
	(tty-frame-list-z-order): Declare C function.
	(tty-frame-restack): Declare C function.
	(tty-display-pixel-height): Declare C function.
	(tty-display-pixel-width): Declare C function.

you could use

	* lisp/frame.el (frame-at): New function.
	(tty-frame-geometry, tty-frame-edges, tty-frame-list-z-order)
	(tty-frame-restack, tty-display-pixel-height)
	(tty-display-pixel-width): Declare C function.

But that's an optimization; what you have is perfectly okay.

Thanks.

Yes, that came out of the order in which stuff appeared in the diff.
I'll do that.

Iʼve only built it and run 'make check'. Looks like the xt-mouse tests
need some adjusting:
