Undo 2004-02-16 and 2004-02-17 changes.
The following changes are relative to the 2004-01-21 revision.
(NREAD_INPUT_EVENTS): Define as max number of input events to read
in one call to read_socket_hook. Value is 8.
(read_avail_input): Separate and rework handling of read_socket_hook
and non-read_socket_hook cases. Use smaller input_event buffer
in read_socket_hook case, and repeat if full buffer is read. Use
new local variable 'discard' to skip input after C-g.
In non-read_socket_hook case, just use a single input_event, and
call kbd_buffer_store_event on the fly for each character.

Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2199 21:03:50 -0600 From: Karl Fogel <kfogel@floss.cyclic.com> To: bug-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu Subject: M-x search-backward-in-time broken... X-Windows: you'll envy the dead. In GNU Emacs 51.70.4 (i9986-unknown-linux-gnu, X toolkit) of Sat Feb 20 2199 on floss configured using `configure --with-x-toolkit=yes' The `search-backward-in-time' function appears to be broken in Emacs 51.70. Unfortunately, I can never seem to start the debugger early enough to catch the error as it happens. However I have traced the problem through source by eye, and it looks like `time-forward' can't handle negative arguments anymore. This is consistent with other symptoms: for example, `undo' (which since 51.25 has worked by passing a negative arg to `time-forward') is also broken. However, `do' still works -- it seems that `time-forward' continues to handle positive arguments just fine. No one here-and-now can figure out how to fix the problem, because the code for `time-forward' is so hairy. We're using M-x report-future-emacs-bug to request that you folks include more comments when you write it (sometime in 2198 as I recall). Thanks! -Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com> P.S. You'll be pleased to know that since (time-forward N) still works for N >= 0, we've used it to pre-emptively update configure.in. Emacs now configures and builds on every platform that will ever be made. It wasn't easy, but at least that's one problem out of the way for good. If you'd like the patch, just ask.
