"Root" preedit 7084 type is easy to implement but not useful; "OnTheSpot" 7085 preedit type is the best in the point of view of user 7086 interface but very complex. And more, "OverTheSpot" is the 7087 preedit type which the most XIM servers support. Thus, to 7088 achieve reasonable usability, support of "OverTheSpot" 7089 preedit type is needed.</li> 7090 7091 <li>In "OverTheSpot" preedit type, the preedit 7092 (preconversion) string is displayed at the position of the 7093 cursor. On the other hand, it is XIM server's 7094 responsibility to display the preedit string. Thus, it is 7095 needed for XIM client (here XTerm) to inform the XIM server 7096 of the cursor position. And more, to achieve good visual 7097 proportion, preedit string must be written using proper 7098 font. Thus, it is XIM client's responsibility to inform the 7099 XIM server of the proper font. The font must be supplied by 7100 "fontset". Fontset is a set of fonts with charsets which 7101 are specified by the current locale. Since XTerm uses 7102 ISO10646 fonts regardless of the current locale, the fonts 7103 for XIM must be prepared separately. It is difficult to 7104 prepare fonts which are similar to XTerm font. Thus, my 7105 patch uses a simple way - the default font is "*" which 7106 matches every fonts and X library will automatically choose 7107 fonts with proper charsets. I added "-fx" command option 7108 and "ximFont" resource to override this default font 7109 setting.</li> 7110 7111 <li>changed the definition of "OverTheSpot" preedit type 7112 from XIMPreeditPosition|XIMStatusArea to 7113 XIMPreeditPosition|XIMStatusNothing.

The basic idea is to use a single set of APIs in 7164 the XTerm core, and put a set of workarounds in a separate 7165 file. As you will notice, this drastically simplifies parts of 7166 the code; in particular, the only remaining ifdefs related to 7167 the differences between Xutf8 and legacy systems are related to 7168 the selection provider logic. This defines two new files, 7169 xutf8.h and xutf8.c, provide some half-hearted but fully 7170 portable emulation for the three Xutf8* functions that XTerm 7171 uses. Putting these in a separate file will allow people to 7172 experiment with more complex versions without making the core 7173 of XTerm more difficult to maintain. The functionality of the 7174 emulation is as follows. 7175 7176 <ul> 7177 <li>Xutf8TextListToTextProperty fully handles XStringstyle 7178 and XUTF8StringStyle. It will only generate STRING for 7179 XStdICCTextStyle, and wil only generate Latin-1 in 7180 XCompoundTextStyle (but label it as COMPOUND_TEXT, as the 7181 spec requires). (I have hesitated to make this function 7182 fail for XStdICCTextStyle and XCompoundTextStyle; this 7183 might be a smart thing to do, in the hope that the 7184 selection requestor will try UTF8_STRING afterwards; 7185 opinions?)</li> 7186 7187 <li>Xutf8TextPropertyToTextList fully handles STRING and 7188 UTF8_STRING. It systematically fails for 7189 COMPOUND_TEXT.</li> 7190 7191 <li>Xutf8LookupString will properly handle single-keystroke 7192 input for the keysyms covered by Markus' keysym2ucs 7193 function.

There was 7232 little use for Foreground as a class other than to create 7233 occasional confusion and bug reports, most recently by Nelson 7234 Beebe who reports that it disables colors in xterm but not on 7235 Linux, which is probably due to a difference in resource 7236 evaluation order. A configure script option 7237 (--disable-color-class) is provided for anyone who did use the 7238 older behavior.</li> 7239 7240 <li>fix a signal-handling bug. When running xterm with 7241 <code>ksh</code> or similar shell such as bash 2.05, xterm will 7242 hang and not respond to keystrokes after the user types 7243 <code>suspend</code>. Additionally the popup menus do not 7244 respond, so it is not possible to send SIGCONT to the shell. 7245 What is happening is that the shell is sending itself SIGSTOP, 7246 and it is being stopped. Per specification it also means that 7247 the operating system is sending SIGCHLD to parent to the bash 7248 (XTERM). Now the issue is that xterm assumes it cannot happen 7249 and it expects to receive SIGCHLD only upon 7250 <em>termination</em> of its children. This causes a deadlock 7251 with xterm waiting for the child to die, and the child waiting 7252 for SIGCONT.

It is believed to follow the ICCCM + 7435 UTF8_STRING to the letter, both in UTF-8 and in eight-bit mode. 7436 From his description: 7437 7438 <ul> 7439 <li>When compiled against XFree86 4.0.2, the patched XTerm 7440 will make the selection available as COMPOUND_TEXT, STRING 7441 or UTF8_STRING in both modes.

However, due to an unexpected 7459 combination of ICCCM extensions by various bits and pieces 7460 of the libraries, interacting with previous versions of 7461 XTerm will work in many locales even without this flag. 7462 (Please do not set this resource to true by default, as 7463 this would violate the ICCCM.)</li> 7464 </ul> 7465 </li> 7466 7467 <li>improved error checking/reporting in VTInitI18N(), ensuring 7468 that lack of input method styles is treated distinctly from a 7469 mismatch.</li> 7470 7471 <li>remove an incorrect ifdef from patch #141 which suppressed 7472 overstriking to simulate bold font when xterm was compiled to 7473 support wide characters (report/analysis by Adam M Costello 7474 <amc@cs.berkeley.edu>, Debian #76404, Debian 7475 #77575).</li> 7476 7477 <li>modify <code>RequestResize()</code> function to 7478 save/restore window manager hints. Its call to 7479 <code>XtMakeResizeRequest()</code> had the undesirable 7480 side-effect of clearing window manager hints, e.g., when 7481 switching to 132-columns via DECCOLM escape sequence. Window 7482 manager hints make it simple to resize xterm in terms of 7483 character cells rather than pixels (reports by Christian 7484 Weisgerber, Debian #79939). 7485 7486 <p>This applies to the normal configuration.

Unlike the existing escape 9747 sequence, this clears the alternate screen when switching to it 9748 rather than when switching to the normal screen, thus retaining 9749 the alternate screen contents for select/paste operations. 9750 9751 <p>When I implemented the popup menu entry to toggle between 9752 the normal and alternate screens, I considered only pasting 9753 from the normal screen to the alternate; this improvement 9754 allows either direction.</p> 9755 </li> 9756 9757 <li>Changed the termcap and terminfo for xterm-xfree86 and 9758 xterm-8bit to use the new 1049 private mode.</li> 9759 9760 <li>Modify the logic which switches between normal and 9761 alternate screens so that the save/restore cursor operations 9762 apply only to the current screen. That means that applications 9763 which use the terminfo smcur/rmcur or termcap ti/te 9764 capabilities will restore the cursor to the original position 9765 on the normal screen rather than to the most recent place where 9766 a save-cursor operation was performed. 9767 9768 <p>I note that a real VT100 terminal would not behave in this 9769 way, but it is a moot point since the VT100 does not 9770 implement alternate screen, and therefore the save/restore 9771 cursor sequence would not be used in this context. I reviewed 9772 the logic which switches between normal and alternate screens 9773 based on some recent newsgroup postings as well as a proposed 9774 patch in the Debian group which attempts to do this (the 9775 patch has a bug, however, so I did not use it).</p> 9776 </li> 9777 9778 <li>Add popup menu entry for toggling the titeInhibit 9779 resource.</li> 9780 9781 <li>Add new resource answerbackString, which overrides the 9782 default "xterm" returned by xterm when responding to an ENQ 9783 (control/E) character (request by Rajesh Vaidheeswarran 9784 <rv@fore.com>).</li> 9785 9786 <li>Add new resource keyboardDialect for setting the NRC 9787 display character set (request by Tomas Vanhala, who notes that 9788 I should add logic to translate the keyboard as well).</li> 9789 9790 <li>Add new command-line option and corresponding resources for 9791 making xterm generate escape sequences compatible with HP 9792 terminals. Like the existing Sun escape sequences, this is 9793 available as a popup menu item. It is enabled by the configure 9794 script with the option --enable-hp-fkeys (requested by Toni 9795 Mueller <sales@oeko.net>).</li> 9796 9797 <li>Add configure script option --disable-boxchars to disable 9798 the fallback support for line drawing characters.</li> 9799 9800 <li>Fix ifdef's for configure script --disable-ansi-color, and 9801 reviewed all configure options to ensure that all can be 9802 enabled/disabled appropriately.</li> 9803 9804 <li>Update config.guess and config.sub, from Lynx.</li> 9805 </ul> 9806 9807 <h1><a name="xterm_89" id="xterm_89">Patch #89 - 1998/11/20 - 9808 XFree86 3.9Nm</a></h1> 9809 9810 <p>This patch completes the implementation of double-sized 9811 character support for the VT100 emulation, and fixes a few minor 9812 bugs:</p> 9813 9814 <ul> 9815 <li>corrected the cursor position in HideCursor, which did not 9816 multiply the column by two when in doublesize mode.

Following are his notes:</p> 10588 10589 <p>I poked around some more and finally got xterm-62 to build and 10590 run cleanly on HP-UX 10.20. Here are the patches. They look sort 10591 of ugly, so here's a little explanation:</p> 10592 10593 <ul> 10594 <li>aclocal.m4: Removed side effects from the AC_CACHE_VAL 10595 commands in CF_FUNC_TGETENT. Previously, LIBS was set inside 10596 AC_CACHE_VAL, which worked fine the first time configure was 10597 run, but failed if there were cached values.</li> 10598 10599 <li>aclocal.m4: Added temporary setting of LIBS before 10600 AC_TRY_LINK in CF_FUNC_TGETENT. Previously, the last value set 10601 by the AC_TRY_RUN loop was used, so only -lcurses was 10602 checked.</li> 10603 10604 <li>configure.in: Added temporary setting of CPPFLAGS before 10605 AC_CHECK_HEADERS for X11 files. Previously 10606 <X11/DECkeysym.h> and <X11/Xpoll.h> were found only 10607 if they were in the compiler's default include directories, 10608 even if `--x-includes=DIR' had been used or AC_PATH_XTRA had 10609 found them elsewhere.</li> 10610 </ul> 10611 10612 <p>The problem on HP-UX was that we were linking with -lcurses 10613 rather than -ltermcap due to the second bullet above, and 10614 apparently something in HP-UX curses is broken. This seems very 10615 strange, because the only thing used is tgetent, which should 10616 affect any tty/pty configuration, but I lost interest in tracking 10617 down the exact problem.</p> 10618 10619 <h1><a name="xterm_62" id="xterm_62">Patch #62 - 1998/1/23 - 10620 XFree86 3.9Ac</a></h1> 10621 10622 <p>This is a patch mostly by Bjorn Helgaas 10623 <helgaas@dhc.net> (I added the os2main.c change, and a 10624 little of the documentation). From Bjorn's description:</p> 10625 10626 <ul> 10627 <li>If you use the "-hc <color>" option or set the 10628 "highlightColor" resource, text is highlighted by changing only 10629 the background color, rather than using reverse video.

The principal exception is in screen.c, 10636 where I added a couple calls to resetXtermGC().

It addresses all of 12308 the gcc warnings for -Wall, -Wmissing-prototypes and 12309 -Wstrict-prototypes that I can change without modifying the 12310 object code. (I'm compiling this with gcc 2.7.0 for an aout 12311 target, which makes it simple to compare objects. When I do 12312 ELF-only, I've got a tool that compares that sort of thing as 12313 well).</p> 12314 12315 <p>Briefly, this patch adds (and uses) two header files in the 12316 xterm directory:</p> 12317 <pre> 12318 proto.h 12319 xterm.h 12320</pre> 12321 12322 <p>I expect this to be the biggest patch by far. However (barring 12323 a misplaced prototype), it shouldn't break anything, since the 12324 intent of the patch is to provide missing declarations.</p> 12325</body> 12326</html> 12327
