Subject: bug#70824: 29.3; Run time error in `dabbrev-completion'
Date: Tue, 7 May 2024 12:52:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <43a0c058-b4f8-4875-a935-e1e33df5885b@rfc20.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <handler.70824.B.171510968110138.ack@debbugs.gnu.org>
Debugging this further (sorry, still no repro so I'm debugging my live
image), I think this was introduced a few years ago in commit
2d0085f756572856a2ed8d1bf043b59195a3e3f3 and partially fixed in commit
d0975d7db03c231a3db5a1cd0edaf41094d43f0d.
Those commits introduced a feature where `dabbrev--find-expansion'
considers the components of a buffer's file name as completion
candidates. It does this by creating a temp buffer containing the
components.
The problem is that this temp buffer is immediately killed, yet dabbrev
variables still hold references to it. The second commit above correctly
removes the killed buffer from `dabbrev--friend-buffer-list', but did
not handle the case where `dabbrev--last-buffer' or
`dabbrev--last-buffer-found' happened to be the just-killed buffer.
I can think of two approaches:
- continual with the "manual GC" approach and scrub more dabbrev vars
of this killed buffer.
- handle the killed buffer gracefully by using buffer-live-p
consistently, instead using checks against nil.
