(mark_object): Don't mark symbol names in pure space. (gc_sweep): Don't unmark symbol names in pure space. (toplevel): Include setjmp.h. (PURE_POINTER_P): New define. (enum mem_type) [GC_MARK_STACK]: New enumeration. (Vdead) [GC_MARK_STACK]: New variable. (lisp_malloc): Add parameter TYPE, call mem_insert if GC_MARK_STACK is defined. (allocate_buffer): New function. (lisp_free) [GC_MARK_STACK]: Call mem_delete. (free_float) [GC_MARK_STACK]: Set type to Vdead. (free_cons) [GC_MARK_STACK]: Set car to Vdead. (stack_base, mem_root, mem_z) [GC_MARK_STACK]: New variables. (MEM_NIL) [GC_MARK_STACK]: New define. (struct mem_node) [GC_MARK_STACK]: New structure. (mem_init, mem_find, mem_insert, mem_delete, mem_insert_fixup) (mem_delete_fixup, mem_rotate_left, mem_rotate_right) (live_string_p, live_cons_p, live_symbol_p, live_float_p) (live_misc_p, live_vector_p, live_buffer_p, mark_memory) (mark_stack) [GC_MARK_STACK]: New functions. (Fgarbage_collect) [GC_MARK_STACK]: Call mark_stack. (clear_marks): Removed. (gc_sweep): Set free conses' car, free floats' type, free symbols' function to Vdead. Use lisp_free to free buffers. (init_alloc_once): Initialize Vdead. (survives_gc_p): Return non-zero for pure objects. Add comments throughout the file.

This is a list of known problems to date with the Windows NT/95 port of
GNU Emacs.

* Handle wildcards in ls-lisp (e.g., C-x d *.c).

* Interactive subprocess output is buffered in jerky

* Presently, C:\foo\bar and C:/foo/bar bring up two buffers on the same file.
  Solve this by adding a switch that canonicalizes path separators
  (e.g., make them all / or all \)?

* call-process-region: Another tricky situation with binary and text modes.
  An example by [e-mail]: use crypt++ to load compressed
  data into a buffer, edit the buffer, save the data back out.  (Also
  need to propagate the "/C" switch change sent the shell in crypt++.el
  back to the author.)

* Dired uses ls-lisp, which reports all files as being owned by the
  current user.  Need to dig through the security descriptor to extract
  the owner of the file (and the group?) using LookupAccountSid.

* Integrate the build for NT into the GNU config process once
  a decent shell becomes freely available

* Integrate networking.

* Fix Win95 subprocesses.
