22.1.50; function (keyboard-coding-system) doesn't consistent with variable keyboard-coding-system

[Zhang Wei]

In my system (Windows XP, cp936 locale), function
(keyboard-coding-system) returns nil, while variable
keyboard-coding-system has a value of "cp936", this result in that
chinese characters can't be inputed with system input method, I have to
add (set-keyboard-coding-system 'cp936) in my ~/.emacs to make the
system input method work, which was not necessary some days ago.

I suspect that this is because of multi-tty change which was
installed some days ago.  Those who know about multi-tty
codes, please check what was broken.

FYI, on GNU/Linux, when invoked by "emacs -nw",
keyboard-coding-system is correctly set.

I don't think so, because the version number he gives is that of
EMACS_22_BASE.  In multi-tty, the version number is 23.0.50.

Please investigate this as a bug in Emacs 22.

I tested EMACS_22_BASE, before-merge-multi-tty-to-trunk,
merge-multi-tty-to-trunk, and the latest trunk on
Windows-XP.

The first two have no problem.  merge-multi-tty-to-trunk
can't be build because of compilation error.  The latest
trunk code can be build but, (keyboard-coding-system)
returns nil.

So, I still think that the problem is because of multi-tty
merging.

Please talk with the O.P. to figure out which version has this
problem. Ok?

Maybe it IS due to the multi-tty merge.  But if so, it still needs to
be fixed, and you are the expert on this.  Could you investigate?

The trunk has this problem.

There's no bug in Emacs 22.x, neither in the released version 22.1 nor
in the current EMACS_22_BASE branch in CVS.  The trunk does exhibit
the bug

Like Handa-san, I suspect that this problem is caused by the multi-tty
merge.
