* xfaces.c: Doc fixes. Put interrupt input blocking in a separate file from xterm.h. This isn't specific to X, and it allows us to avoid #including xterm.h in files that don't really have anything to do with X. * blockinput.h: New file. * xterm.h (BLOCK_INPUT, UNBLOCK_INPUT, TOTALLY_UNBLOCK_INPUT, UNBLOCK_INPUT_RESIGNAL): These are now in blockinput.h. (x_input_blocked, x_pending_input): Deleted; there are analogs in blockinput.h called interrupt_input_blocked and interrupt_input_pending. * keyboard.c (interrupt_input_blocked, interrupt_input_pending): New variables, used by the macros in blockinput.h. * xterm.c: #include blockinput.h. (x_input_blocked, x_pending_input): Deleted. (XTread_socket): Test and set interrupt_input_blocked and interrupt_input_pending instead of the old variables. * alloc.c, xfaces.c, xfns.c, xmenu.c, xselect.c, keymap.c: #include blockinput.h. * eval.c: #include blockinput.h instead of xterm.h. * keyboard.c: #include blockinput.h. (input_poll_signal): Just test interrupt_input_blocked, instead of testing HAVE_X_WINDOWS and x_input_blocked. Block the processing of interrupt input while we're manipulating the malloc heap. * alloc.c: (xfree): New function, to make it easy to free things safely. (xmalloc, xrealloc): Block X input while doing the deed. (VALIDATE_LISP_STORAGE, gc_sweep, compact_strings): Use xfree instead of free. (uninterrupt_malloc): New function, to install input-blocking hooks into the GNU malloc routines. * emacs.c [not SYSTEM_MALLOC] (main): Call uninterrupt_malloc on startup. * alloc.c: (make_interval, make_float, Fcons, Fmake_vector, Fmake_symbol, Fmake_marker, make_uninit_string, Fgarbage_collect): Use xmalloc instead of malloc; don't bother to check if out of memory here. (Fgarbage_collect): Call xrealloc instead of realloc. * buffer.c: Use xmalloc and xfree instead of malloc and free; don't bother to check if out of memory here. (Fget_buffer_create): Put BLOCK_INPUT/UNBLOCK_INPUT pair around calls to ralloc routines. * insdel.c: Same. * lisp.h (xfree): New extern declaration. * xfaces.c (xfree): Don't #define this to be free; use the definition in alloc.c. * dispnew.c, doc.c, doprnt.c, fileio.c, lread.c, term.c, xfns.c, xmenu.c, xterm.c: Use xfree instead of free. * hftctl.c: Use xfree and xmalloc instead of free and malloc. * keymap.c (current_minor_maps): BLOCK_INPUT while calling realloc and malloc. * search.c: Since the regexp routines can malloc, BLOCK_INPUT while runing them. #include blockinput.h. * sysdep.c: #include blockinput.h. Call xfree and xmalloc instead of free and malloc. BLOCK_INPUT around routines which we know will call malloc. ymakefile (keyboard.o, keymap.o, search.o, sysdep.o, xfaces.o, xfns.o, xmenu.o, xterm.o, xselect.o, alloc.o, eval.o): Note that these depend on blockinput.h.

This directory contains the architecture-independent files used by or
with Emacs.  This includes some text files of documentation for GNU
Emacs or of interest to Emacs users, and the file of dumped docstrings
for Emacs functions and variables.

`termcap.dat' is for VMS.  It is a copy of the `/etc/termcap' file
used on Unix.
