From: No Wayman
Subject: bug#51602: 29.0.50; Slow completion on Windows 10 when symbol name contains unicode
Date: Thu, 04 Nov 2021 15:51:53 -0400
User-agent: mu4e 1.7.4; emacs 29.0.50


This is a bug that was reported to straight.el's repository. According to the user's report, it is reproducible from emacs -Q without straight.el. I asked them to report it here, but they refused (citing a "previous unpleasant experience with bugs-gnu-emacs").

To reproduce:

1. emacs -Q
2. define the following command:

(defun testಠ-ಠ () (interactive) nil)

3. Attempt completion

They claim completion will "hang" for some time. They also claim including the command in an init file will cause the init time to take 5 seconds longer. User claims Emacs 26, 27.2 and current master branch are all affected when built on Windows 10 (Home and Enterprise using MSYS2).

We have a single alias in straight.el which includes ಠ-ಠ in the symbol name. My reading of:

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Symbol-Type.html

seems to indicate that unicode characters in a symbol name should be fine. Is that my misunderstanding?

Initial report:

https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el/issues/877

I'm unable to verify the reproduction case myself, as I don't have access to a Windows machine.
Apologies in advance if this is noise.
