Add ability to put Gtk+ tool bar on the left/right/bottom or top. Default top. * lisp/menu-bar.el (menu-bar-showhide-tool-bar-menu-customize-enable-left) (menu-bar-showhide-tool-bar-menu-customize-disable) (menu-bar-showhide-tool-bar-menu-customize-enable-right) (menu-bar-showhide-tool-bar-menu-customize-enable-top) (menu-bar-showhide-tool-bar-menu-customize-enable-bottom): New functions (menu-bar-showhide-tool-bar-menu): If tool bar is moveable, make a menu for Options => toolbar that can move it. * src/frame.c (Qtool_bar_position): New variable. (make_frame): Set tool_bar_position to Qtop. (frame_parms): Add tool-bar-position. (x_report_frame_params): Store tool_bar_position. (x_set_fringe_width): Reset wm size hint after fringe changes. * src/frame.h (struct frame): Add tool_bar_position. (Qbottom): Declare. * src/gtkutil.c (FRAME_TOTAL_PIXEL_WIDTH): New macro. (xg_frame_set_char_size): Add FRAME_TOOLBAR_WIDTH to pixelwidth. (xg_height_or_width_changed): Use FRAME_TOTAL_PIXEL_WIDTH. (xg_create_frame_widgets): Create a hobox for placing widgets vertically. Use gtk_box_pack_start. (xg_height_or_width_changed): Renamed from xg_height_changed. (x_wm_set_size_hint): Add FRAME_TOOLBAR_WIDTH to base_width. (xg_update_frame_menubar, free_frame_menubar): Change to xg_height_or_width_changed. (xg_tool_bar_detach_callback): Update left/right/top/bottom tool bar size correctly. Remove hardcoded 4, instead use handlebox size - toolbar size. (xg_tool_bar_attach_callback): Update left/right/top/bottom tool bar size correctly. Use handlebox size + toolbar size as additional size. (xg_pack_tool_bar): POS is a new parameter. Set orientation of tool bar based on pos. Only make handlebox_widget if NULL. Check if tool bar goes to vbox or hbox depending on pos. (xg_update_tool_bar_sizes): New function. (update_frame_tool_bar): Remove old_req, new_req. Do not get tool bar height, call xg_update_tool_bar_sizes instead. (free_frame_tool_bar): Remove from hbox or vbox depending on toolbar_in_hbox, Set all FRAME_TOOLBAR_*_(WIDTH|HEIGHT) to zero. (xg_change_toolbar_position): New function. * src/gtkutil.h (xg_change_toolbar_position): Declare. * src/window.c (calc_absolute_offset): Check for FRAME_TOOLBAR_TOP_HEIGHT and FRAME_TOOLBAR_LEFT_WIDTH. * src/xfns.c (x_set_tool_bar_position): New function. (xic_set_statusarea): Use FRAME_TOOLBAR_TOP_HEIGHT. (x_frame_parm_handlers): Add x_set_tool_bar_position. (syms_of_xfns): if USE_GTK, provide move-toolbar. * src/xterm.c (x_set_window_size_1): Add FRAME_TOOLBAR_WIDTH to pixelwidth. * src/xterm.h (struct x_output): Add toolbar_top_height, toolbar_bottom_height, toolbar_left_width, toolbar_right_width. Remove toolbar_height. if USE_GTK: Add hbox_widget and toolbar_in_hbox. (FRAME_TOOLBAR_TOP_HEIGHT, FRAME_TOOLBAR_BOTTOM_HEIGHT) (FRAME_TOOLBAR_LEFT_WIDTH, FRAME_TOOLBAR_RIGHT_WIDTH): New macros. (FRAME_TOOLBAR_HEIGHT): Is now TOP_HEIGHT + BOTTOM_HEIGHT.

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.
