comparison README.multi-tty @ 53341:d4e6a050c9b1

Bugfix festival. lib-src/emacsclient.c (main_argc, main_argv): New variables. (main): Initialize them. (fail): Use them. (window_change, copy_from_to): Don't kill if emacs_pid is zero. (pty_conversation): Watch the command socket, too. Read emacs_pid here. Emacs and emacsclient could deadlock if Emacs tried to do a reset_sys_modes before sending its pid. lisp/server.el: Automatically delete the client frame when done editing. (server-frames): New variable. (server-process-filter, server-sentinel, server-buffer-done): Use it. (server-process-filter): Do a redisplay before evaluating other parameters. (Prevents "emacsclient -h -e '(delete-frame)'" from messing up the system. src/dispextern.h: Update prototypes. src/dispnew.c (window_change_signal): Do nothing if !term_initted. (init_display): Set the frame size from the tty data after term_init. src/emacs.c (main): Make sure things that init_sys_modes needs are initialized before init_display (which calls init_sys_modes now). (sort_args): Use xfree, not free. (shut_down_emacs) [!EMACS_HAVE_TTY_PGRP]: Use reset_all_sys_modes instead of reset_sys_modes. src/frame.c (make_terminal_frame): Sigh. Move terminal initialization back to the middle of frame setup. Handle errors by making sure that the delete_tty() called from term_init() will see and delete this frame. (Fdelete_frame): Kill the frame before calling delete_tty(). Fix condition for tty deletion. src/keyboard.c (Fset_input_mode): Use reset_sys_modes on the current terminal only. src/lisp.h: Remove duplicate prototypes. src/msdos.c (croak): use reset_all_sys_modes(). src/sysdeps.c (init_baud_rate): Added tty parameter, use it instead of CURTTY. (child_setup_tty): Reset sigio on stdin, not CURTTY(). (reset_sigio): Added fd parameter, put explicit fcntl there. (request_sigio, unrequest_sigio)[FASYNC]: Simply block/unblock the SIGIO signal, don't touch the file params. There are multiple ttys now, and we can't disable the SIGIO from emacsclient. (get_tty_size)[VMS]: Use tty_out instead of CURTTY(). (reset_sys_modes): Don't call cursor_to, clear_end_of_line; call cmgoto and tty_clear_end_of_line instead. The frame may already be dead. Updated reset_sigio call. src/term.c (clear_and_of_line): Separate tty-dependent stuff to tty_clear_end_of_line() for reset_sys_modes. (tty_clear_end_of_line): New function. (term_init): Added frame parameter, don't use selected_frame. Set the frame's output_data.tty value (in case there is an error later). Set the frame size in Wcm, not in the frame. Only free the termcap buffer if there is a termcap-related error. Call init_sys_modes last, not first. (deleting_tty): New variable. (delete_tty): Use it for handling recursive calls. Free deleted tty, except its Wcm (there is still a dangling reference somewhere). git-archimport-id: [e-mail]--2004/emacs--multi-tty--0--patch-19

** Support for multiple terminal devices has been added.  You can
   specify a terminal device (`tty' parameter) and a terminal type
   (`tty-type' parameter) to `make-terminal-frame'. `tty' must be a
   terminal device created by the updated emacsclient, or there will
   be problems with terminal input and window resizes.  (The kernel
   notifies processes about pending input or terminal resizes only on
   the controlling terminal, so we need emacsclient to sit on the real
   terminal device, create SIGIO signals upon terminal input, and
   forward SIGWINCH signals to us.)

   You can test for the presence of multiple terminal support by
   testing for the `multi-tty' feature.

** A make-frame-on-tty function has been added to make it easier to

   (Done, emacsclient signals Emacs after writing to the proxy pseudo
   terminal.  Note that this means that multi-tty does not work with
   raw ttys!)

-- Make make-terminal-frame look up the `tty' and `tty-type' frame
   parameters from the currently selected terminal before the global
   default.

   (Done.)

-- Implement automatic deletion of terminals when the last frame on
   that terminal is closed.

   (Done.)


THINGS TO DO
------------

** Fix mysterious memory corruption error with tty deletion.  To

** Change emacsclient/server.el to support the -h argument better,
   i.e. automatically close the socket when the frame is closed.

** Export delete_tty to the Lisp environment, for emacsclient.

** Restore tty screen after closing the terminal.

** 'TERM=dumb src/emacs' does not restore the terminal state.

** C-g should work on secondary terminals.

** Make parts of struct tty_output accessible from Lisp.  The device
   name and the type is sufficient.

** Find out why does Emacs abort when it wants to close its
   controlling tty.

** Implement support for starting an interactive Emacs session without
   an initial frame.  (The user would connect to it and open frames
   later, with emacsclient.)  Not necessarily a good idea.

** Support raw secondary terminals.  (This one is tricky, SIGIO works
   only on the controlling terminal.  The emacsclient solution works
   nicely, so this is not that important anyway.)

** What does interrupt_input do?  I tried to disable it for raw
   secondary tty support, but it does not seem to do anything useful.

** Move optimalization parameters (costs) from union output_data to
   a backend-neutral per-device structure.

** Find out the best way to support suspending Emacs with multiple
   ttys.

** Do tty output through term_hooks, like all other display backends.

** Fix X support.

** Allow simultaneous X and tty frames.

   extend that somehow.)

** Find out why does Emacs abort when it wants to close its

   noninterrupt-IO would work, too?

** Implement support for starting an interactive Emacs session without
   an initial frame.  (The user would connect to it and open frames
   later, with emacsclient.)  Not necessarily a good idea.

** Support raw secondary terminals.  (Note that SIGIO works only on
   the controlling terminal.) Hint: extend read_input_waiting() for
   multiple ttys and hopefully this will be fixed.

** What does interrupt_input do?  I tried to disable it for raw
   secondary tty support, but it does not seem to do anything useful.

** Issue with SIGIO: it needs to be disabled during redisplay.  See if
   fcntl() kernel behaviour could be emulated by emacsclient.

** Move optimalization parameters (costs) from union output_data to
   a backend-neutral per-device structure.

** Find out the best way to support suspending Emacs with multiple
   ttys.

** Deal with SIGHUP in Emacs and in emacsclient.  (After this, the
   server-frames may be removed from server.el.)

** Do tty output through term_hooks, like all other display backends.

** Fix X support.

** Allow simultaneous X and tty frames.
