Merge changes made in Gnus trunk. Reimplement nnimap, and do tweaks to the rest of the code to support that. * gnus-int.el (gnus-finish-retrieve-group-infos) (gnus-retrieve-group-data-early): New functions. * gnus-range.el (gnus-range-nconcat): New function. * gnus-start.el (gnus-get-unread-articles): Support early retrieval of data. (gnus-read-active-for-groups): Support finishing the early retrieval of data. * gnus-sum.el (gnus-summary-move-article): Pass the move-to group name if the move is internal, so that nnimap can do fast internal moves. * gnus.el (gnus-article-special-mark-lists): Add uid/active tuples, for nnimap usage. * nnimap.el: Rewritten. * nnmail.el (nnmail-inhibit-default-split-group): New internal variable to allow the mail splitting to not return a default group. This is useful for nnimap, which will leave unmatched mail in the inbox. * utf7.el (utf7-encode): Autoload. Implement shell connection. * nnimap.el (nnimap-open-shell-stream): New function. (nnimap-open-connection): Use it. Get the number of lines by using BODYSTRUCTURE. (nnimap-transform-headers): Get the number of lines in each message. (nnimap-retrieve-headers): Query for BODYSTRUCTURE so that we get the number of lines. Not all servers return UIDNEXT. Work past this problem. Remove junk from end of file. Fix typo in "bogus" section. Make capabilties be case-insensitive. Require cl when compiling. Don't bug out if the LIST command doesn't have any parameters. 2010-09-17 Knut Anders Hatlen <[e-mail]> (tiny change) * nnimap.el (nnimap-get-groups): Don't bug out if the LIST command doesn't have any parameters. (mm-text-html-renderer): Document gnus-article-html. 2010-09-17 Julien Danjou <[e-mail]> (tiny fix) * mm-decode.el (mm-text-html-renderer): Document gnus-article-html. * dgnushack.el: Define netrc-credentials. If the user doesn't have a /etc/services, supply some sensible port defaults. Have `unseen-or-unread' select an unread unseen article first. (nntp-open-server): Return whether the open was successful or not. Throughout all files, replace (save-excursion (set-buffer ...)) with (with-current-buffer ... ). Save result so that it doesn't say "failed" all the time. Add ~/.authinfo to the default, since that's probably most useful for users. Don't use the "finish" method when we're reading from the agent. Add some more nnimap-relevant agent stuff to nnagent.el. * nnimap.el (nnimap-with-process-buffer): Removed. Revert one line that was changed by mistake in the last checkin. (nnimap-open-connection): Don't error out when we can't make a connection nnimap-related changes to avoid bugging out if we can't contact a server. * gnus-start.el (gnus-get-unread-articles): Don't try to scan groups from methods that are denied. * nnimap.el (nnimap-possibly-change-group): Return nil if we can't log in. (nnimap-finish-retrieve-group-infos): Make sure we're not waiting for nothing. * gnus-sum.el (gnus-select-newsgroup): Indent.

Iso-Functional Type Contour


This is a term coined to describe "column int->float" change approach, and can
be used whenever low-level types need to change (hopefully not often!) but the
meanings of the values (whose type has changed) do not.

The premise is that changing a low-level type potentially means lots of code
needs to be changed as well, and the question is how to do this incrementally,
which is the preferred way to change things.

Say LOW and HIGH are C functions:

  int LOW (void) { return 1; }
  void HIGH (void) { int value = LOW (); }

We want to convert LOW to return float, so we cast HIGH usage:

  float LOW (void) { return 1.0; }
  void HIGH (void) { int value = (int) LOW (); }  /* iftc */

The comment /* iftc */ is used to mark this type of casting to differentiate
it from other casting.  We commit the changes and can now go about modifying
LOW and HIGH separately.  When HIGH is ready to handle the type change, the
cast can be removed.
