Implemented multiple tty support.
README.multi-tty: New file.
src/termchar.h (struct terminal): Renamed to struct tty_output. Added name, type,
input, output, termscript, old_tty, term_initted, old_tty_valid,
background_pixel, foreground_pixel, next fields.
(TERMINAL_*): Renamed to TTY_* for brevity.
(CURRENT_TERMINAL): Renamed to CURTTY for brevity.
(tty_list): New variable.
(TERMINAL_PTR): Removed.
(FRAME_TTY): New function.
(TTY_NAME, TTY_TYPE): New macros.
src/term.c (current_terminal): Removed. (_current_terminal): Removed. (tty_list):
New variable. (OUTPUT, OUTPUT1, OUTPUTL, OUTPUT_IF, OUTPUT1_IF): Added tty
parameter. (set_terminal_modes): Added tty parameter. (reset_terminal_modes):
Added tty parameter. (cursor_to, raw_cursor_to): Updated cmgoto() calls.
(clear_end_of_line, write_glyphs): Add indirection to terminal output, updated
cmcheckmagic() calls. (get_named_tty): New function. (term_dummy_init): New
function. (term_init): Added name parameter, added tty_output return value.
Changed algorithm to update tty_list. Call init_sys_modes() to set up tty
mode on the newly opened terminal device.
(get_current_tty): New function, intended for debugging.
src/termhooks.h (termscript): Removed.
src/w32term.h (FRAME_FOREGROUND_PIXEL, FRAME_BACKGROUND_PIXEL): Removed redundant
definition.
src/macterm.h (FRAME_FOREGROUND_PIXEL, FRAME_BACKGROUND_PIXEL): Ditto.
src/window.c (init_window_once): Call make_terminal_frame with two zero parameters.
src/cm.h (emacs_tputs): New macro to set current_tty, and then call tputs().
(current_tty): New variable, for cmputc().
(cmcheckmagic, cmputc, cmgoto): Added prototypes.
src/cm.c (current_tty): New variable, for cmputc().
(cmputc): Use it.
(cmcheckmagic): Added tty parameter, look up terminal streams there.
(calccost): Added tty parameter. Use emacs_tputs() instead of tputs().
(cmgoto): Added tty parameter. Pass it on to calccost(). Use emacs_tputs()
instead of tputs().
src/dispextern.h (set_terminal_modes, reset_terminal_modes): Added tty parameter.
(term_init): Added name parameter (the filename of the terminal device). Added
return value (struct tty_output).
src/dispnew.c: Replace CURTTY() with local variables throughout the file (where applicable).
(termscript): Moved to struct tty_output.
(terminal_type): Removed.
src/emacs.c (main): Don't call init_sys_modes(), the new term_init() already does that
during init_display().
(shut_down_emacs): Call reset_all_sys_modes() instead of reset_sys_modes().
src/frame.c (Qtty, Qtty_type): New variables.
(syms_of_frame): Initialize them.
(tty_display): Removed.
(make_terminal_frame): New parameters (tty filename and type).
Initialize output_data.tty field instead of output_data.x. Use term_init() to
find the right tty_output. (Use term_dummy_init() during bootstrap.)
(Fmake_terminal_frame): Get device filename and type from frame parameters.
src/frame.h (FRAME_FOREGROUND_PIXEL, FRAME_BACKGROUND_PIXEL): Do the right thing
if the frame is a tty.
(struct frame): New member in output_data: tty.
(make_terminal_frame): Updated of prototype.
src/keyboard.c (Fset_input_mode): Call reset_all_sys_modes(), not
reset_sys_modes(). Ditto with init_sys_modes().

| 2 | GOAL | ||
| 3 | ---- | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | The ultimate goal of this branch is to implement support for opening | ||
| 6 | multiple, different tty devices and simultaneous X and tty frames from | ||
| 7 | a single Emacs session. | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | WHO IS DOING IT | ||
| 10 | --------------- | ||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | I'm Károly Lőrentey. My address: lorentey@elte.hu. | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | Patches or suggestions are welcome! | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | STATUS | ||
| 18 | ------ | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | We can create frames on new tty devices, but there are problems with | ||
| 21 | refresh (only the (single) selected frame is refreshed), and input is | ||
| 22 | read only from the initial terminal. At the moment, the type of the | ||
| 23 | new terminals must be the same as the initial terminal. | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | To try it out, start up emacs, and evaluate the following: | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | (make-terminal-frame '((tty . "/dev/pts/5") (tty-type . "xterm"))) | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | (With your own values, of course.) If you switch to the new frame | ||
| 30 | with M-x other-frame, the new tty is refreshed with the frame | ||
| 31 | contents. The result of input from the original terminal appears on | ||
| 32 | the new. If you exit emacs, both terminals are restored to their | ||
| 33 | previous states. | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | X, Mac, Windows and DOS support is broken. | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | NEWS | ||
| 38 | ---- | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | For the NEWS file: | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | ** Support for multiple terminal devices has been added. You can | ||
| 43 | specify a terminal device (`tty' parameter) and a terminal type | ||
| 44 | (`tty-type' parameter) to `make-terminal-frame'. | ||
| 45 | |||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | CHANGELOG | ||
| 48 | --------- | ||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | See arch logs. | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | THINGS THAT ARE DONE | ||
| 54 | -------------------- | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | -- Introduce a new abstraction for terminal devices. | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | (Done, see struct tty_output. The abstraction is not yet | ||
| 59 | complete.) | ||
| 60 | |||
| 61 | |||
| 62 | -- Change the bootstrap procedure to initialize tty_list. | ||
| 63 | |||
| 64 | (Done, but needs review.) | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | -- Change make-terminal-frame to support specifying another tty. | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | (Done, new frame parameters: `tty' and `tty-type'.) | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | |||
| 72 | THINGS TO DO | ||
| 73 | ------------ | ||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | ** Make make-terminal-frame look up the tty and tty-type parameters | ||
| 76 | from the currently selected terminal before the global default. | ||
| 77 | |||
| 78 | ** Move optimalization parameters (costs) from union output_data to | ||
| 79 | struct frame. | ||
| 80 | |||
| 81 | ** Implement terminal deletion, i.e., closing the tty device and | ||
| 82 | restoring its previous state without exiting Emacs. This should be | ||
| 83 | exported to the Lisp interpreter. | ||
| 84 | |||
| 85 | ** Implement automatic deletion of terminals, when the last frame on | ||
| 86 | that terminal is closed. | ||
| 87 | |||
| 88 | ** Put all cached terminal escape sequences into struct tty_output. | ||
| 89 | Currently, they are still stored in global variables, so we don't | ||
| 90 | really support multiple terminal types. | ||
| 91 | |||
| 92 | ** Support different terminal sizes. (Should be solved by the | ||
| 93 | previous entry.) | ||
| 94 | |||
| 95 | ** Make sure terminal resizes are handled gracefully. (Could be | ||
| 96 | problematic.) | ||
| 97 | |||
| 98 | ** Implement support for reading from multiple terminals. | ||
| 99 | |||
| 100 | ** other-frame should cycle through the frames on the `current' | ||
| 101 | terminal. This means that Emacs must know from which terminal the | ||
| 102 | last keyboard event came from. (Multikeyboard support may help | ||
| 103 | with this.) | ||
| 104 | |||
| 105 | ** Redisplay must refresh the topmost on all terminals, not just | ||
| 106 | the initial terminal. | ||
| 107 | |||
| 108 | ** Make struct tty_output available from Lisp. | ||
| 109 | |||
| 110 | ** Extend emacsclient to automatically open a new tty when it connects | ||
| 111 | to Emacs. | ||
| 112 | |||
| 113 | ** Implement support for starting an interactive Emacs session without | ||
| 114 | an initial frame. (The user would connect to it and open frames | ||
| 115 | later, with emacsclient.) Not necessary a good idea. | ||
| 116 | |||
| 117 | ** Fix X support. | ||
| 118 | |||
| 119 | ** Allow simultaneous X and tty frames. | ||
| 120 | |||
| 121 | ** Fix Mac support (I can't do this myself). | ||
| 122 | |||
| 123 | ** Fix W32 support (I can't do this myself). | ||
| 124 | |||
| 125 | ** Fix DOS support (I can't do this myself). | ||
| 126 | |||
