3848.0. "Some of my bindings are missing with Ada 3.3, Traversal, Convenience Routines etc." by COMICS::EDWARDSN (Dulce et decorum est pro PDP program) Tue Feb 25 1997 04:39

As far as I can tell, these things seem to have gone astray at 
3.2 of Ada both on VAX and AXP OpenVMS.

The customer has pointed out that they seem to be missing for
Ada 3.3 on DEC Unix 4.0, but I think that the situation is 
more widespread than that.

His items which seem to be missing (which are all present at
3.0A-9 or thereabouts) are:

X.X_pointer_type
Xm_Widget.Scroll_Visible
Xm_Convenience.Color.Change
Xm_Convenience.Traversal.Is_Traversable
Xm_String.Nmwm_functions_ptr
Xm_String.Nmwm_decorations_ptr

I haven't had a totally thorough scour around this area, but I
picked on one at random and have searched through the .ADC 
files for the existence of Traversable (not even bothering with
the Is_ on the front, just in case the _ went missing) and that
isn't in anywhere on either VAX Ada 3.2-17 or DEC Ada 3.3-7.

I also cross referenced in the Motif stuff, just to make sure 
that those functions still existed in the later release of Motif
and sure enough they do.

So why did they disappear?
Did they disappear?
Is there something which I should be doing to get them back?
Any clues?

3848.1	These are Motif 1.2 bindings; look in examples area	KMOOSE::CMCCUTCHEON	Charlie McCutcheon	`Tue Feb 25 1997 09:53`	14
	>Xm_Convenience.Traversal.Is_Traversable >Xm_String.Nmwm_functions_ptr I just did a quick check, and I find these two just fine in V3.3 for Digital UNIX in the examples area. These are apparently Motif 1.2 specific. The default in the predefined library is Motif 1.1. Look for the x5m12.ada file names. I assumed the other symbols are there (I picked unique looking ones for easy searching), and that the VMS targets also have them. Let me know if I missed something. Charlie
3848.2	Default installation?	COMICS::EDWARDSN	Dulce et decorum est pro PDP program	`Thu Feb 27 1997 04:13`	7
	Given that Motif 1.1 has been pretty much dead for a while now, wouldn't it be nice to have the 1.2 bindings loaded by default on an install? Thanks for the prompt response, I hadn't thought of that angle. Neil.

	>Given that Motif 1.1 has been pretty much dead for a while now, Last I asked, 1.1 isn't dead on VMS 6.1. That's our lowest required VMS operating system. It's easy to upgrade to 1.2. (If not, give us feedback! ;-) Charlie
3848.4	Also...	COMICS::EDWARDSN	Dulce et decorum est pro PDP program	`Fri Feb 28 1997 10:53`	32
	For some reason, and it's a while back, so I can't remember installing this nor do I remember tampering with it... I just have a look in: /usr/ccs/lib/cmplrs/ada_320/examples/X11R5_Motif_1.2 and did a diff on motifbindingx5m12_xm_convenience_.ada with the X11R4 one. They would appear to be IDENTICAL! This is probably an ancient mistake (perhaps on my part) but that's what led me to believe that there was a problem here. When I looked in the examples under the Unix box, there were no matches found. I have a little system management to perform here, since the Unix box we have is more or less tied up most of the time so upgrading is hard. But I'll get to 4.0B and install the latest kit and see what happens. > Last I asked, 1.1 isn't dead on VMS 6.1. That's our lowest required > VMS operating system. Didn't it die at the end of Jan? (Or become unsupported?) bye for now, Neil.

(Or become unsupported?) It's possible, but I haven't heard. No one's requested Motif 1.2 to be the default (except you!). Charlie
