rjk@mrstve.UUCP (Richard Kuhns) (04/18/88)
I recently posted a request for help getting GNU emacs running on
our new Symmetry. When I tried recompiling with -g so I could try
dbx on it, it ran perfectly (as in, requests for function documentation
don't cause a core dump anymore). The ONLY thing I changed from one
compilation to the next was the -g flag. Apparently Sequent's optimizer
changes something it shouldn't. Oh well....
If anyone wants the m-symmetry.h file I created, mail me.

I retract my request for m-symmetry.h, at least for myself. Other people
may find it useful, so perhaps a posting is worthwhile.
Probably the best thing for m-symmetry.h to do is #include m-sequent.h,
and add #defines or #undefs as appropriate.
I built an emacs using the vanilla m-sequent.h and it seemed to work, except
it core-dumped when I typed ^S^S to search for the previous search string.
So I upped PURESIZE and also #defined C_ALLOCA, to include the portable
PD implementation by Doug Gwyn that RMS hacked, and it worked.

We have this same problem with version 18.48 on our Symmetry. The problem appears to be fixed in version 18.51 (using an unmodified m-sequent.h).

? problem appears to be fixed in version 18.51 (using an unmodified
? m-sequent.h). Rbj, which version of emacs are you using?
18.51. I used the C_ALLOCA because of the 75%/85%/95% warning feature.
I have often found PURESIZE slightly too small, perhaps because of our
site-init.el feature, which maps ^^ -> ^Q & ^\ -> ^S. I do not know
which change made the difference, but am happy with both of them in.
