Eh? I'm confused. _nslookup doesn't require any additional module, so
I guess you meant nslookup, right?

And: I agree that we should have more reports about zpty on other
platforms and, if possible, configure tests for it before we can
really call it a supported module. But, to repeat it: in this case I
really can't help much because I made sure zpty works on all the
machines I have access to. Which also means, for example, that I'm not
even sure if all Linuxes have pty names in the range [a-z][0-9].

And before zpty ever makes it in, we'll also have to test if the
terminal-setups it uses are ok (especially the non-termios, non-termio 
case). We might also want to think about a better process handling and 
so on...

I have compiled dev-16 (with zpty included) on i386-NetBSD.
At least the new nslookup function (using zpty) works fine.

Sorry, I wasn't looking closely enough.  I must have been dozing when
nslookup appeared.  I suppose it's reasonable to make that use zpty.

There can't be all that many people using zsh without termios or termio...?

We were going to change it something like this, but I can't remember
hearing whether that would do the trick or not.  It should be OK for you,
at least.

This still have the same dl.h/dlfnc.h problem. I cannot provide a patch, as I
have no idea, how to check for HPUX.

May be, we could do a better job? What about checking for some key symbols
(RTLD_GLOBAL?) in dl.h and dlfnc.h? What is defined on HPUX?

But gettyinfo() and friends have code for that case (and I stole some
of the code for zpty...).

That must have been my it didn't get applied from 9007.  I've added it now.

It must be nice being efficient.  Maybe I'll try it sometime.

By the way, I probably won't be around till the weekend.

I meant to mention this before:

Felix's patch 9008 to document the new `jobdirs' parameter should have
been included back in -pws-12, but is still missing from -dev-16.

The long line in that patch probably should be reformatted, though.

That was mentioned in my followup message: I'm waiting to see if it has an
effect. (Chmouel says he'll have a look when he's got a moment.)

That was mentioned in the original message:  I haven't put zpty in because
of possible configurational problems.  If nobody looks, I'll put back
anyway and we can take it from there, otherwise we'll be waiting for ever.

As far as the _nslookup chunks go, as I've said before I'm not particularly
happy about unconditionally requiring extra modules to be loaded into
completion, which is a basic facility for zsh.  Ideally there should be a
test to see if it's loaded, and some documentation about why it's useful.

As I said when sending my own patch for wordcode problems, it fixed the bug
that Sven fixed in 9361 another way, and I've left my version in and
didn't apply Sven's since they both necessary.  But it would simplify
things a little if I put this in anyway, so I'll stick it back.

I compared between dev-16 and patched dev-15 reverted by 9357, 9390,
9394 and part of 9396.  Then I found that 9361 is missed.  However the
problem described in 9358 isn't reproduced.

Sorry, just noticed:  this is actually *not* in.  I was waiting for some
indication that it actually worked, which I haven't heard.  It shouldn't
really work unless there's something wrong with the compiler.

I have uploaded
  ftp://ftp.zsh.org/pub/zsh/development/zsh-3.1.6-dev-16.tar.gz

The major change this time is Sven's new wordcode system for storing shell
code internally.  This should substantially reduce the memory usage for
shell functions.  The major bugs seem to have been removed but there may
still be minor problems.

I have not added zpty since it probably needs more configuration work.
Suggestions for OSes not covered are of course welcome.

I have finally added zprof, which was on my disk but missing from
.distfiles.  The manual has been there all along.
