[Emacs-diffs] master 09c805a 2/2: Add recursion check for comint password prompting

[Lars Ingebrigtsen]

branch: master
commit 09c805a40591a73591d6a609cf74ae7ce3ddd93a
Author: Lars Ingebrigtsen <address@hidden>
Commit: Lars Ingebrigtsen <address@hidden>

    Add recursion check for comint password prompting
    
    * lisp/comint.el (comint--prompt-recursion-depth): New variable
    (bug#33252).
    (comint-watch-for-password-prompt): Use it to avoid bugging out
    and making Emacs unusable when a shell script is prompting for
    passwords in an infloop.
