diff README.multi-tty @ 83008:040dd41ed7d0

Hookified termcap devices, added bootstrap display device, plus many bugfixes. lisp/frame.el (display-color-cells): Pass display parameter to tty-display-color-cells. lisp/term/xterm.el (xterm-register-default-colors): Pass the selected-frame to display-color-cells. src/dispextern.h (set_terminal_modes, reset_terminal_modes): Removed declarations. (get_named_tty_display): New prototype. (tty_clear_end_of_line, term_init): Updated to new prototype. (initial_term_init): Renamed to init_initial_display. src/dispnew.c (Fredraw_frame): ifdef-out DOS-specific code. Add display parameter to set_terminal_modes call. (update_frame): Don't flush the tty of there is no tty. (init_display): Set up a termcap display on the controlling tty and change the initial frame to use that. Delete the initial display. src/frame.c (Fframep): Return t for the initial frame. (make_initial_frame): New function for creating the initial frame during bootstrap. Use init_initial_display, not initial_term_init. (make_terminal_frame): Removed special cases for creating the initial frame. src/frame.h (enum output_method): New entry: output_initial for the bootstrap display. (FRAME_INITIAL_P): New macro. (make_initial_frame): New prototype. src/keyboard.c (interrupt_signal): Exit Emacs on SIGINT from the (frameless) controlling tty, if possible. Explain this in a comment. (init_keyboard): Added comment about exiting on SIGINT. (Fset_input_mode): A termcap frame is never the initial frame anymore. src/sysdep.c (init_sys_modes): Update tty_set_terminal_modes call to the new prototype. (reset_sys_modes): Comment out tty_clear_end_of_line call; it doesn't work anymore. Update tty_reset_terminal_modes call. src/termchar.h (struct tty_display_info): Added pointer to the display structure, for reset_sys_modes. src/termhooks.h (struct display): Added display parameter to set_terminal_modes_hook and reset_terminal_modes_hook. src/term.c (initial_display): New variable. (tty_ring_bell, tty_update_end, tty_set_terminal_window, tty_cursor_to) (tty_raw_cursor_to, tty_clear_to_end, tty_clear_frame, tty_clear_end_of_line) (tty_write_glyphs, tty_insert_glyphs, tty_delete_glyphs, tty_ins_del_lines): New functions. (ring_bell, update_end, set_terminal_window, cursor_to, raw_cursor_to) (clear_to_end, clear_frame, clear_end_of_line, write_glyphs, insert_glyphs) (delete_glyphs, ins_del_lines): Removed special casing of termcap displays. (get_tty_display): New function. (Ftty_display_color_p, Ftty_display_color_cells): Use it. (get_named_tty_display): Removed static. (tty_set_terminal_modes, tty_reset_terminal_modes): Changed to use a display parameter instead of tty_display_info for hook compatibility. (set_terminal_modes, reset_terminal_modes): Removed. (initial_term_init): Renamed to init_initial_display. Set up an output_initial device, not a termcap display. (delete_initial_display): New function. (maybe_fatal): New function, for private use of term_init. (term_init): New parameter for choosing between fatal and simple errors. Removed incomprehensible special casing for the second initialization of the controlling tty. Use maybe_fatal for error handling. Initialize termcap display hooks in the new device. Initialize the display pointer in the tty_display_info structure. (delete_tty): Replace order of reset_sys_modes and delete_display. src/window.c (init_window_once): Call make_initial_frame instead of make_terminal_frame. src/xfaces.c (realize_default_face, realize_face): Don't abort on the bootstrap display device. src/xterm.c (XTset_terminal_modes, XTreset_terminal_modes): Added display parameter. git-archimport-id: [e-mail]--2004/emacs--multi-tty--0--patch-48
