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.

/* When Emacs is using signal-driven input, the processing of those
   input signals can get pretty hairy.  For example, when Emacs is
   running under X windows, handling an input signal can entail
   retrieving events from the X event queue, or making other X calls.

   If an input signal occurs while Emacs is in the midst of some
   non-reentrant code, and the signal processing invokes that same
   code, we lose.  For example, malloc and the Xlib functions aren't
   usually re-entrant, and both are used by the X input signal handler
   - if we try to process an input signal in the midst of executing
   any of these functions, we'll lose.

   To avoid this, we make the following requirements:

   * Everyone must evaluate BLOCK_INPUT before entering these functions,
   and then call UNBLOCK_INPUT after performing them.  Calls
   BLOCK_INPUT and UNBLOCK_INPUT may be nested.

   * Any complicated interrupt handling code should test
   interrupt_input_blocked, and put off its work until later.  

   * If the interrupt handling code wishes, it may set
   interrupt_input_pending to a non-zero value.  If that flag is set
   when input becomes unblocked, UNBLOCK_INPUT will send a new SIGIO.  */
