24.4.50; "Not an in-range integer, float, or cons of integers" from x-focus-frame |

With the code at the head of the development tree at the moment, running the
code
(x-focus-frame (selected-frame))
yields the error
Not an in-range integer, float, or cons of integers
(this comes from src/data.c, in case that's of interest).
Bisection tracks the change down to the patch with git sha ID c7fcb3f8,
which was committed on 7/9/2014, modifying xselect.c. Running gcc -E, I see
that on this system the constant X_LONG_MAX comes out as 0x7fffffff (which is
2^31-1). LONG_MAX, on the other hand, comes out as 9223372036854775807L (which
is 2^63-1, I think).
This bug appears when Emacsclient tries to raise a frame in which it opened
a file. This would be ignorable, but the error gets spotted by an emacsclient
invocation when writing commit messages with magit, and the whole commit
falls over. (I'm mostly writing this paragraph for anyone searching with
Google and wondering whether this is the bug they hit)

I installed a patch that I hope fixes the bug as trunk bzr 118021. Please give
it a try. If you have a chance, also please compile with -DENABLE_CHECKING to
try to catch that possible other bug with Time values out of unsigned 32-bit
range. And thanks again for reporting the bug.
That looks like it's fixed the bug. I tried with and without ENABLE_CHECKING
(and stared at command lines to make sure I was passing the define in
correctly). Thanks for fixing it.
Assuming I've remembered how to use debbugs, this email will also close the
report. If not, feel free to do so :-)
