I'm running GNU Emacs 18.44 on a bunch of 4.2 machines (Sun-2/SunOS 2.0,
Sun-3/3.0 and Pyramid 98x/OSx 3.1 if it matters). In s-bsd4-2.h
INTERRUPT_INPUT is defined, meaning that Emacs will run in RAW mode.
In s-bsd4-3.h INTERRUPT_INPUT is undefed, meaning that 4.3 will run
Emacs in CBREAK mode. There is a comment there saying that "in 4.3
we can make noninterrupt input work properly". I guess this implies
that in 4.2 it can't be made to work. But I wanted to try, and I did.
And it seems to work fine on all the above systems! So, what will go
wrong at the worst possible moment? Will I grow warts? Or did Sun and
Pyramid fix whatever made it impossible to "make noninterrupt input work
properly" under 4.2?
Another question, not about Emacs, but about gdb: has anybody tried to
port gdb to Pyramid? Any success?
