i've just made a small change that fixes acme's extremely annoying
habit of truncating its dump file when its window is deleted. it's
probably wrong, but at least it means that when i try to right-button
click on a window's border and delete the acme window instead that i
don't lose all my current work...
the change is in /sys/src/cmd/acme/acme.c:/^shutdown1
change:
threadexitsall(msg);
to:
threadexits(msg);
this stops one of the other processes in acme's notegroup from killing
the dumping process halfway through its dump.
it does mean that you can no longer rely on killing one acme process to
kill them all, but i think the trade-off's worth it.
BTW it should probably be documented that you can't use qlock() inside
a note handler (or is this just a bug?)
cheers,
rog.
