Package: Emacs
Version: 24.0.50
I'm working on moving compile.el's parsing away from font-lock and using
the new code, I triggered a bug somewhere in the redisplay, that results
in a crash because of an infinite recursion:
The stack trace shows (other than the top items which vary depending on
the exact moment the maximum stack size was hit) that the recursion has
the following trivial pattern:
[...]
#8 0x080a8ea8 in next_element_from_buffer (it=0xbfffbd40) at xdisp.c:6655
#9 0x080a8ebd in next_element_from_buffer (it=0xbfffbd40) at xdisp.c:6656
#10 0x080a8ebd in next_element_from_buffer (it=0xbfffbd40) at xdisp.c:6656
[...]
where 6656 is the second line of:
handle_stop (it);
return GET_NEXT_DISPLAY_ELEMENT (it);
I can reproduce it easily, but not reliably. The changed code in
compile.el has not been heavily tested, so the trigger for this bug may
be something like an odd value of the `face' or
`font-lock-face' properties.
Here's what I do to reproduce it:
% src/emacs -Q -l "newcompile.el"
M-x grep TAB TAB RET
Fset_window_config src/*.c RET
I've attached the "offending" new compile.el. This does not always
crash, but almost. The TAB TAB is on purpose to bring up the
*completion* buffer, because it seemed to make the bug show up
more frequently.
