Subject: valid_image_p doesn't load image libraries
Date: Thu, 26 May 2005 13:22:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f7ccd24b05052604227c94ce7a@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
On image dynamic-loading environments (AKA Windows), when the first
function to try to use an image type is a C primitive and not Lisp
code (for example, image-size), the corresponding image library is not
loaded.
The reason is that these functions call valid_image_p(), which in turn
calls lookup_image_type(), which does:
if (NILP (Finit_image_library (symbol, Qnil)))
return 0;
Now, init-image-library's second argument nil does not mean "use the
default library alist" (the variable `image-library-alist'), but "use
a null library alist", so the above call will always return nil unless
the library corresponding to the given image type is already loaded.
Now, assuming that lookup_image_type is the right place to load the
library, there's two possible answers:
- passing `image-library-alist' to the call in lookup_image_type()
- changing the spec of init-image-library so second arg nil means
"load from the default library alist".
Both of them require `image-library-alist', which is currently defined
on image.el, to be moved to C code.
Objections? Suggestions? Comments?
