Hi all, Now that my papers are in order (;-)), here is a new version of the much discussed patch to support the Unicode clipboard on Windows (attached). Notes: - I didn't provide user-level documentation except a short mention in etc/NEWS. The defaults should work fine and there should be less need to customize this than on X11. - There is a short discussion of the use of the customization in comments in the code. Something similar may be usefull in the ELisp manual, probably in "Window System Selections." benny 2004-11-08 Benjamin Riefenstahl * w32select.c: Summary: Thorough rework to implement Unicode clipboard operations and delayed rendering. Drop last_clipboard_text and related code, keep track of ownership via clipboard_owner instead. Drop old #if0 sections. (DEFAULT_LCID, ANSICP, OEMCP, QUNICODE, QANSICP, QOEMCP) (clipboard_owner, modifying_clipboard, cfg_coding_system) (cfg_codepage, cfg_lcid, cfg_clipboard_type, current_text) (current_coding_system, current_requires_encoding) (current_num_nls, current_clipboard_type, current_lcid): New static variables. (convert_to_handle_as_ascii, convert_to_handle_as_coded) (render, render_all, run_protected, lisp_error_handler) (owner_callback, create_owner, setup_config) (enum_locale_callback, cp_from_locale, coding_from_cp): New local functions. (term_w32select, globals_of_w32select): New global functions. (Fw32_set_clipboard_data): Ignore parameter FRAME, use clipboard_owner instead. Use delayed rendering and provide all text formats. Provide CF_LOCALE if necessary. (Fw32_get_clipboard_data): Handle CF_UNICODETEXT and CF_LOCALE. Fall back to CF_TEXT, if CF_UNICODETEXT is not available. Force DOS line-ends for decoding. (Fx_selection_exists_p): Handle CF_UNICODETEXT. (syms_of_w32select): Init and register new variables. * w32.h: Add prototypes for globals_of_w32select and term_w32select. Make the neighboring K&R declarations into prototypes, too. * emacs.c: Include w32.h to get function prototypes. (main): Call globals_of_w32select. * w32.c (term_ntproc): Call term_w32select. * mule-cmds.el (set-locale-environment): Remove call to set-selection-coding-system on Windows. * s/ms-w32.h: Guard MSC-specific #pragmas with an #ifdef.
