Re: Function "w32_abort" not defined
> It would be good to somehow suppress this message (by using some GDB option?). I tried very hard to find a way to do that, but failed. I'm open to suggestions. I wouldn't spend much time on it myself. Ordinary users don't get these messages, since they don't run Emacs under GDB. We could add this command to .gdbinit to reassure anyone who might get worried: output "If you see messages immediately following about functions not being defined,\n don't worry about them. Nothing is wrong.\n" ___ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug

That would take too long, for large files; he would not like this either, but he has not realized this would be the price of what he wants. ___ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug

See w32fns.c: it pops up the Emacs Abort dialog. The MS-Windows build redirects all calls to `abort' to this function. > Couldn't we rename it to some more generic name and then define (and use) it > for all versions? Fine with me. But then we should do something similar with x_error_quitter, I think. ___ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
