| I think this deserves a bug report, where we try to figure out how to

| a hideous and brittle hack.

`----
The hack is due to difficulty in making sure one timer is run before
another that run nearly at the same time. And it's made harder because
timer.el prepends a timer to existing timers running at the same time,
which looks like a mistake.
I think the hack in ggtags.el may be removed by the following patch to
correct the said mistake:

IIUC this patch just changes the ordering for same-time timers.
Relying on either ordering is itself a hack. We need a better solution.
What are those two timers whose relative execution order matters?
Why do they care in which order they're run?

If you eval (progn (run-with-timer 0 ...) ; timer 1
(run-with-timer 0 ...)) ; timer 2
you expect timer 1 to be triggered first, no?

The first timer is compilation-auto-jump which is installed (by compile)
at the start of compilation.
The second timer is a cleanup timer which is installed (by ggtags) when
compilation finishes and there is 0 or 1 match.
The second timer kills the buffer (among other things) that the first
timer depends on.

Not really. I think any code which relies on such a property will
sooner suffer.

So we can fix the bug by making the timer's code check if the buffer is
still live?

No. We still want compilation-auto-jump to happen first. Otherwise we
just find 1 match and clean up without jumping to the match.

Then why does the second timer kill the buffer so hastily?

ggtags-navigation-mode-cleanup unhides the window popped up by
compilation-auto-jump. If we postpone it we see the window configuration
on the frame messed up, which is kinda annoying.

That would explain why you want to remove the buffer from specific
windows (i.e. hide the buffer), but not why you need to kill it.

The buffer is not needed by ggtags so kill was chosen. I could change it
to not kill but this won't fix the crux of the issue i.e.
If compilation-auto-jump is run after cleanup it will mess up things
for example pop up windows.

Instead of adding another timer, and then dealing with their order
issues, is it possible to reuse the same time for both jobs? IOW,
just _add_ the new/additional function you need to be done to whatever
the single timer does. If you do that, you get to control the order
in which things are done by the single timer, because you write the
code of the timer function(s).

probably not.
ggtags-global-handle-exit needs to consider these situations:
1. when matches are large jump to first match should not wait until
compilation finishes
2. on failure keep the compilation window popped-up so users can see the
errors
3. 0 matches, nothing to show so clean up
4. 1 match, wait until compilation-auto-jump and clean up
A solution has to cover all of them. I think this could work:
1. In compilation-error-properties save the jump pos like this
(setq-local compilation-auto-jump-pos (match-beginning 0))
(run-with-timer 0 nil 'compilation-auto-jump
(current-buffer) compilation-auto-jump-pos)
2. Make compilation-auto-jump do nothing if the buffer is killed.
WDYT?

I thought that's what I had proposed, so yes, I think that's
a good solution.

By exposing the position I can change ggtags not to depend on the order
of auto-jump and clean up.
The patch could look like this. Any objection to installing it in
emacs-25?

After some experiments the proposed patch might not work at all.
compilation-auto-jump timer is fired by the font-locking engine. By my
observation it is possible that compilation-finish-functions (from a
process sentinel) are executed before font-locking even by inserting
(compilation--ensure-parse (point-max))
in ggtags-global-handle-exit.
Do you see any anomaly in the observation?
The hack that is now in ggtags.el may not work either. None of the
people that reported https://github.com/leoliu/ggtags/issues/89 have
confirmed the fix. And I personally don't know how to reproduce it.

Thanks. That's when the problem was reported, not when it was
introduced. However, it does mean the problem existed even before Feb
2015, which means it existed in Emacs 24.5.
OTOH, the fix seems quite safe. So yes, please push to emacs-25.
Thanks.

Not sure what you mean by "fired", but in any case, no: font-lock is not
used for that (tho it has been used at some point before
compilation-auto-jump was introduced, IIRC). Instead, it's done via
syntax-propertize (which can be triggered in all kinds of ways,
including font-lock).
How 'bout something like the following:
- Add a new var compilation-pending-auto-jump set buffer-locally to
non-nil when compilation-error-properties calls run-with-timer.
- in compilation-auto-jump, check this var before doing anything and set
it back to nil.
- in ggtags, call compilation-auto-jump to make sure this timer is run
before yours.

This
(defun compilation-mode-font-lock-keywords ()
"Return expressions to highlight in Compilation mode."
(append
'((compilation--ensure-parse))
compilation-mode-font-lock-keywords))
and the only place in compile.el that mentions syntax-propertize is in a
comment.

I think the issue is compilation-error-properties can happen after
compilation-finish-functions. And calling compilation--ensure-parse in
ggtags-global-handle-exit doesn't seem to help.

Duh! Indeed, sorry, I mis-remembered. Indeed, after first (ab)using
syntax-propertize I changed it to use the same approach but without
using syntax-propertize.
The point is the same, tho: the parse can be triggered by other things
than font-lock. That's important because font-lock may be turned off.

Hmm... calling compilation--ensure-parse *should* help.
More specifically, if you call compilation--ensure-parse up to point-max
from compilation-finish-functions, I can't think of any reason why
compilation-error-properties should be called afterwards. If you can
get a backtrace of when that happens, it would help.
E.g. set a buffer-local var from compilation-finish-functions after
calling compilation--ensure-parse, and then add an assert in
compilation-error-properties to check that that var is not set yes.

To the best of my knowledge that seems to work with change like this to

This was the final message in this bug report, but looking at the patch
that supposedly fixes the problem, I don't understand how it makes a
difference: Putting (match-beginning) in a buffer-local variable
instead of passing it in directly seems like a no-op?
Checking whether the buffer is alive in compilation-auto-jump seems like
a good idea, though (any async function that switches to a buffer should
check whether it's alive first).

This was too long ago and got moved to write-only swap space, and
I haven't had time to dig into it now to recover the lost context, but
I can see a potential case where it makes a difference, which is if the
timer is set multiple times before it gets a chance to be run: with the
new code only one of the timers will actually be executed.

That's true; I didn't think about that. But wouldn't a more obvious fix
be to cancel the previous timer, if there's already a timer in-flight?

Could be. I don't even know if this effect was the one intended in
any case.

Me neither. I've now applied the
+ (when (buffer-live-p buffer)
part of the patch, but not the rest. Perhaps Leo can chime in with that
the patch was trying to achieve.

This was a month ago, but there was no response, so I'm closing this bug
report. If there's more to be done here, a new bug report could perhaps
be opened.
