Hasn't anyone compiled 18.52 with a gcc of recent vintage? When I do so (on a Sun-3/160, SunOS 4.0, gcc v. 1.29), trying to run the dumped xemacs yields almost instant core dumps with SIGSEGV. My first compilation was with gcc -v -W -traditional -g -finline-functions -fstrength-reduce and I eventually removed the inline functions and strength reduction, but that had no effect. When I run Emacs with `-nw' it dies at the end of the function display_text_line (w, start, vpos, hpos, taboffset) and dbx claims that the stack is overwritten. If I run it normally under X, I get a similar quick SIGSEGV in one of the functions inside x11fns.c (it might have been x-get-default or x-set-font, don't remember which). The standard Sun PCC-based C compiler produces an xemacs that does not have this problem. Does this sound familiar to anyone? - Greg Earle Sun Los Angeles Consulting earle@Sun.COM earle@mahendo.JPL.NASA.GOV (Guest account; forwarded)
