But the problems can also affect buffers without long lines (just with
many lines).
Yes, and that's what sits next on my list: "too large" buffers.
Or the case of having a thousand buffers opened. Or ...
I don't think the "too many buffers" case is worth investigating.
Because it won't lock Emacs suddenly, like what we had. It could make
Emacs gradually slower, in which case the user can take some appropriate
measures.
If the major mode overrides the locked narrowing which causes the users
experience to be unbearable in long buffers, the users could set this
variable to override the override (while sending a bug report to the
major mode's maintainers and waiting for the bug to be fixed).
I see what you mean now. But I don't think it would work. What I want is
to take reasonable measures to ensure that Emacs remains responsive "in
spite of" mode maintainers.
Yes, your work is *really* appreciated in this area. I'm just pointing
out that there's no point trying to make it technically *impossible* for
users to shoot themselves in the foot making redisplay too slow,
Yes, with that I agree. But as Eli said, it's not users who shoot
themselves in the foot, it's innocent users that are shooted in the foot
by syntax-ppss and/or by mode maintainers who are not careful enough.
And as I said its not technically impossible for this to happen, users can
freely unset long-line-threshold (although that's not recommended of
course).
because there are still plenty of other ways they can shoot themselves
in the foot,
I'm curious, are there other ways for a regular user (*not* an Elisp
hacker!) to make Emacs completely unresponsive with regular editing
commands, starting with emacs -Q?
and because every time we make something undesirable impossible, we
*also* make it impossible to do some desirable things (even if we can't
yet imagine what those might be).
I'm curious again, because I cannot imagine what that could be either.
Also note that you can blame yourself if you don't like the locked
narrowing idea. See the following three lines which you added ten years
ago in eval.c:
/* Don't export this variable to Elisp, so no one can mess with it
(Just imagine if someone makes it buffer-local). */
Funintern (Qinternal_interpreter_environment, Qnil);
and which make it technically impossible to do something, incidentally
without providing a way for Elisp hackers to escape that impossibility.
