comparison README.multi-tty @ 83035:fcf6fc349e0d

Don't hang on the tty if called from a shell script. src/sysdep.c (narrow_foreground_group): Set the process group to inherited_pgroup before calling EMACS_SET_TTY_PGRP. Removed confusing inherited_pgroup initialization (it is done in emacs.c). (Reported by Istvan Marko <mi-mtty at kismala dot com>.) git-archimport-id: [e-mail]--2004/emacs--multi-tty--0--patch-75

Richard Stallman was kind enough to review my patches.


CHANGELOG
---------

See arch logs.

THINGS TO DO
------------
** Dan Nicolaescu (dann at ics dot uci dot edu) suggests that -nw
   should be added as an alias for -t in emacsclient.  Good idea.
   (Alas, implementing this is not trivial, getopt_long does not seem
   to support two-letter ``short'' options.)

   terminal device that is the controlling tty of the Emacs process
   gives unexpected results.

   (Fixed.)

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

** There is a flicker during the startup of `emacs -nw'; it's as if
   the terminal is initialized, reset and then initialialized again.
   Debug this.  (Hint: narrow_foreground_group is called twice during
   startup.)

** Dan Nicolaescu (dann at ics dot uci dot edu) suggests that -nw
   should be added as an alias for -t in emacsclient.  Good idea.
   (Alas, implementing this is not trivial, getopt_long does not seem

-- Istvan Marko reported that Emacs hang on ttys if it was started
   from a shell script.

   (Fixed.  There was a bug in the multi-tty version of
   narrow_foreground_group.  tcsetpgrp blocks if it is called from a
   process that is not in the same process group as the tty.)
