Subject: Multi_key and dead keys under irix 6.5, emacs 21.2
Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2003 15:24:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200310311424.h9VEOsFB511119@cantor.wias-berlin.de> (raw)


hallo,

under sgi irix (6.5.13m) the XK_Multi_key and the dead_keys are
not working in emacs-21.2.

the reason is a difference between the run-time behaviour
of XmbLookupString and the description in the manual:

---
XLookupNone       No consistent input has been composed so
                            far.  The contents of buffer_return and
                            keysym_return are not modified, and the
                            function returns zero.
---

in fact, after pressing Multi_key ' a we have status_return == XLookupNone
AND nbytes == 1 with the correct latin1-character "á" in the buffer.
my little patch helps emacs to deal with this situation

patch for 
eamcs-21.2/src/xterm.c near line 10449


	if (status_return == XLookupNone && nbytes >0) { /* should not appear, but... 
*/
		keysym = NoSymbol;
	}
		else {
		      if (status_return == XLookupNone)
			break;
		      else if (status_return == XLookupChars)
			{
			  keysym = NoSymbol;
			  modifiers = 0;
			}
		      else if (status_return != XLookupKeySym
			       && status_return != XLookupBoth)
			abort ();
		}

best regards
i.b.
