The redisplay mechanism is one of the most complicated sections of XEmacs, especially from a conceptual standpoint. This is doubly so because, unlike for the basic aspects of the Lisp interpreter, the computer science theories of how to efficiently handle redisplay are not well-developed.
When working with the redisplay mechanism, remember the Golden Rules of Redisplay:
| 30.1 Critical Redisplay Sections | ||
| 30.2 Line Start Cache | ||
| 30.3 Redisplay Piece by Piece | ||
| 30.4 Modules for the Redisplay Mechanism | ||
| 30.5 Modules for other Display-Related Lisp Objects |

The following paragraphs are way out-of-date and inaccurate.
Within this section, we are defenseless and assume that the following cannot happen:
We ensure (3) by calling hold_frame_size_changes(), which
will cause any pending frame size changes to get put on hold
till after the end of the critical section. (1) follows
automatically if (2) is met. #### Unfortunately, there are
some places where Lisp code can be called within this section.
We need to remove them.
If Fsignal() is called during this critical section, we
will abort().
If garbage collection is called during this critical section, we simply return. #### We should abort instead.
#### If a frame-size change does occur we should probably actually be preempting redisplay.
Begin up-to-date stuff

These are now fixed as of November 10, 2004.
regenerate_window()Here is a crash I (ben) just got – November 9, 2004: It can sort of be reproduced by creating a bunch of frames, opening a bunch of large files (which may be fontlocking for awhile). and immediately start Alt-TAB-ing back and forth quickly and constantly scrolling up and down using the scrolling dial on your mouse.

The traditional scrolling code in Emacs breaks in a variable height world. It depends on the key assumption that the number of lines that can be displayed at any given time is fixed. This led to a complete separation of the scrolling code from the redisplay code. In order to fully support variable height lines, the scrolling code must actually be tightly integrated with redisplay. Only redisplay can determine how many lines will be displayed on a screen for any given starting point.
What is ideally wanted is a complete list of the starting buffer position for every possible display line of a buffer along with the height of that display line. Maintaining such a full list would be very expensive. We settle for having it include information for all areas which we happen to generate anyhow (i.e. the region currently being displayed) and for those areas we need to work with.
In order to ensure that the cache accurately represents what redisplay would actually show, it is necessary to invalidate it in many situations. If the buffer changes, the starting positions may no longer be correct. If a face or an extent has changed then the line heights may have altered. These events happen frequently enough that the cache can end up being constantly disabled. With this potentially constant invalidation when is the cache ever useful?
Even if the cache is invalidated before every single usage, it is necessary. Scrolling often requires knowledge about display lines which are actually above or below the visible region. The cache provides a convenient light-weight method of storing this information for multiple display regions. This knowledge is necessary for the scrolling code to always obey the First Golden Rule of Redisplay.
If the cache already contains all of the information that the scrolling routines happen to need so that it doesn’t have to go generate it, then we are able to obey the Third Golden Rule of Redisplay. The first thing we do to help out the cache is to always add the displayed region. This region had to be generated anyway, so the cache ends up getting the information basically for free. In those cases where a user is simply scrolling around viewing a buffer there is a high probability that this is sufficient to always provide the needed information. The second thing we can do is be smart about invalidating the cache.
TODO—Be smart about invalidating the cache. Potential places:
In case you’re wondering, the Second Golden Rule of Redisplay is not applicable.

Redisplay is complex and not very well documented. Chuck Thompson no longer works on XEmacs so this section is my [presumably Ben’s] take on the workings of redisplay.
Redisplay happens in three phases:
Implemented in redisplay.c
Implemented in redisplay-output.c
Implemented in redisplay-output.c,
redisplay-x.c, redisplay-msw.c and redisplay-tty.c
Steps 1 and 2 are device-independent and relatively complex. Step 3 is mostly device-dependent.
Determining the desired display
Display attributes are stored in display_line structures. Each
display_line consists of a set of display_block’s and each
display_block contains a number of rune’s. Generally
dynarr’s of display_line’s are held by each window representing
the current display and the desired display.
The display_line structures are tightly tied to buffers which
presents a problem for redisplay as this connection is bogus for the
modeline. Hence the display_line generation routines are
duplicated for generating the modeline. This means that the modeline
display code has many bugs that the standard redisplay code does not.
Perhaps the modeline redisplay could be unified with gutter redisplay
(see below).
The guts of display_line generation are in
create_text_block, which creates a single display line for the
desired locale. This incrementally parses the characters on the current
line and generates redisplay structures for each.
Gutter redisplay is different. Because the data to display is stored in
a string we cannot use create_text_block. Instead we use
create_text_string_block which performs the same function as
create_text_block but for strings. Many of the complexities of
create_text_block to do with cursor handling and selective
display have been removed.
In the following, create_text_block only will be described, so
keep in mind in the fact that modeline and gutter redisplay are somewhat
different.
create_text_block takes a struct window *, the index of a
line in the text (a Bytebpos) and a struct display_line *,
as well as two arguments prop and type (as yet
undocumented). Given the window, it can derive the relevant buffer, and
use the Bytebpos to find the line of text. It then walks over
the characters in the text and regenerates the display line information
for each.
create_text_block calls out to extent_fragment_update to
get information about faces (fonts and colors), which are represented as
a face_index, an index into a table of merged faces. Faces must
be merged because (1) a face may inherit properties from their parents
and (2) faces may be only partially specified, in which case redisplay
must fall back to faces associated with extents earlier in the extent
order (see section Extent Ordering). Since getting complete information
about a face involves instantantiating many specifiers, we keep a cache
of this information, and a face_index is an index into the cache.
extent_fragment_update calls out to
get_extent_fragment_face_cache_index, which in turn calls
merge_face_cachel_data on each relevant face.
merge_face_cachel_data is straightforward, except for font
handling. In the case of fonts, the legacy XLFD model has a different
font for each Mule charset (in fact, both the XLFD model of I18N and
that of Mule are derived from the same root, ISO 2022, and so mesh
well—or as well as anything based on ISO 2022 can). This means that
merge_face_cachel_data has to iterate over the list of Mule
charsets, and update the font for each one.
create_text_block is not responsible for creating face cachels.
That is done by redisplay_output_layout,
redisplay_text_width_string or
redisplay_text_width_ichar_string, via
ensure_face_cachel_complete, with the actual work being done by
ensure_face_cachel_contains_charset.

‘redisplay-output.c’ ‘redisplay-msw.c’ ‘redisplay-tty.c’ ‘redisplay-x.c’ ‘redisplay.c’ ‘redisplay.h’ |
These files provide the redisplay mechanism. As with many other subsystems in XEmacs, there is a clean separation between the general and device-specific support.
‘redisplay.c’ contains the bulk of the redisplay engine. These functions update the redisplay structures (which describe how the screen is to appear) to reflect any changes made to the state of any displayable objects (buffer, frame, window, etc.) since the last time that redisplay was called. These functions are highly optimized to avoid doing more work than necessary (since redisplay is called extremely often and is potentially a huge time sink), and depend heavily on notifications from the objects themselves that changes have occurred, so that redisplay doesn’t explicitly have to check each possible object. The redisplay mechanism also contains a great deal of caching to further speed things up; some of this caching is contained within the various displayable objects.
‘redisplay-output.c’ goes through the redisplay structures and converts them into calls to device-specific methods to actually output the screen changes.
‘redisplay-x.c’ and ‘redisplay-tty.c’ are two implementations of these redisplay output methods, for X frames and TTY frames, respectively.
‘indent.c’ |
This module contains various functions and Lisp primitives for converting between buffer positions and screen positions. These functions call the redisplay mechanism to do most of the work, and then examine the redisplay structures to get the necessary information. This module needs work.
‘termcap.c’ ‘terminfo.c’ ‘tparam.c’ |
These files contain functions for working with the termcap (BSD-style) and terminfo (System V style) databases of terminal capabilities and escape sequences, used when XEmacs is displaying in a TTY.
‘cm.c’ ‘cm.h’ |
These files provide some miscellaneous TTY-output functions and should probably be merged into ‘redisplay-tty.c’.
