bug#34765: 26.1; with-temp-buffer should not run buffer-list-update-hook

bug#34765: 26.1; with-temp-buffer should not run buffer-list-update-hook

[Alexander Miller]

To quote from the documentation of select-window:

Selections that "really count" are those
causing a visible change in the next redisplay of WINDOW’s frame and
should be always recorded. So if you think of running a function each
time a window gets selected put it on ‘buffer-list-update-hook’.

A temporary buffer hardly fits these criteria. The problem is not just
theoretical either. I have now run multiple times into situations where
use of a temp buffer caused a feedback loop that makes
buffer-list-update-hook fire permanently. For example a function called
by buffer-list-update-hook uses with-selected-window, this causes a
recalculation of the frame title, that calls format-spec, which uses a
temp-buffer and we are back to step one. Granted this case is very
specific to spacemacs and I am unable to reproduce it from emacs -q
(with-selected-window does not recalculate the frame title here), but
this is already the second time I've run into this (first time it was
magit).

So yeah, with-temp-buffer correction aside, if you have any advice how
to avoid the issue on my end without going back to advising
select-window that'd be great.

bug#34765: 26.1; with-temp-buffer should not run buffer-list-update-hook

You're probably right but there's not much we can do in this regard.
When you show a temporary buffer and temporarily show another buffer
in the same window, there must be a way to show the temporary buffer
again.  That's why we have to run 'buffer-list-update-hook' for them.

'with-selected-window' calls 'select-window' with NORECORD non-nil, so
this should not be the culprit.  I'm afraid you have to dig further to
find out how 'buffer-list-update-hook' precisely gets called here.

What was the issue there?

Emacs 27 now has 'window-selection-change-functions', strongly tied to
redisplay and triggering only when the window selection has changed
since last redisplay.  Maybe you could try that.

I do no understand the use-case you have in mind here. with-temp-buffer
serves to create a short-lived temporary buffer that is quickly disposed
of again. When would such a buffer be shown anywhere?

 > I'm afraid you have to dig further to find out how

Did that, turns out it's down to mode-line packages, both powerline and
doom-modeline are advising select-window. I'll create PRs for both.

 > What was the issue there?

Same feedback loop as described above, except it would only happen
when a region was active in magit's status buffer. I had tracked
the cause to a temp buffer deep inside magit's internals. Here's the
github link:

This problem occurs in my treemacs package, so I cannot use a solution
provided by a bleeding edge release, my modus operandi is to support the
last 2 versions of emacs, so 25 and 26 (since stable distros like debian
still use emacs 25). At any rate I have found the culprit in those modeline
packages, so that point is solved.

I confused this 'with-output-to-temp-buffer'.  Maybe we should indeed
rebind 'buffer-list-update-hook' around the 'generate-new-buffer' and
'kill-buffer' calls of 'with-temp-buffer'.

And do not preserve NORECORD?

Maybe magit should simply try to reuse the same temporary buffer
instead of recreating it excessively.  Creating/killing temporary
buffers does not come without some overhead.

I see.  But please try 'window-selection-change-functions' sooner or
later so we know whether it fixes these problems.

Wouldn't that be a backward-incompatible change?  How long did we call
that hook for temporary buffers?  Also, can generate-new-buffer and/or
kill-buffer run some hooks which might modify other, non-temporary
buffers?

It would be a backward-incompatible change.

Ever since that hook existed.

'generate-new-buffer' calls 'get-buffer-create' and that one runs only
'buffer-list-update-hook'.  'kill-buffer' runs its usual hooks and if
one of them runs 'kill-buffer' for another buffer we'd have a problem.

An even more radical solution would be to never run
'buffer-list-update-hook' for buffers whose name starts with a space.
Backward-incompatible as well but cleaner from a designer's POV.

In either case it wouldn't help the OP since he probably (hopefully)
won't need a solution for Emacs 27 (where he should be able to use
'window-selection-change-functions' instead) and we are certainly not
going to change this for Emacs 26.

Stefan asked me to add a variable 'inhibit-buffer-list-update-hook'
and I came up with the attached.  WDYT?

Did he also ask you to remove the inhibit_buffer_hooks flag of the
buffer object?  I'd rather prefer that you set that flag for temporary
buffers.  In any case, removing the flag will get back the problem
with hidden buffers used by coding.c, right?  I don't want to lose
that.

More generally, I don't understand the need for this variable.  If we
just want to inhibit the hooks for temporary buffers, we don't need to
provide a variable, we can do that internally and unconditionally.
The variable assumes there are other legitimate use cases where a Lisp
program would want to inhibit the hooks, and that we agree to let Lisp
programs do that.  What are those use cases?

FWIW handling of the the inhibit_buffer_hooks flag is unaffected by my
patch.  Note that I special cased the call from 'make-indirect-buffer'
which is the only one that doesn't check that flag.

I don't know.  The one we care about in the case at hand is that of
'with-temp-buffer' which seems innocuous enough for being used in the
body of a function run by 'buffer-list-update-hook'.  Since that macro
is in subr.el and as such cannnot easily set the inhibit_buffer_hooks
flag, the 'inhibit-buffer-list-update-hook' variable provides a simple
workaround.  But maybe Stefan himself can explain the rationale for
such a variable.  IIUC his main motivation was that by rebinding
'inhibit-buffer-list-update-hook' to nil one can from Lisp relax the
restrictions provided by my patch.

I meant to suggest that get-buffer-create sets this flag when the name
of the buffer fits the template of temporary buffers.  Exactly like it
does for code-conversion buffers now.

That's a more drastic change, but it might be worth a try.

We don't have a "template of temporary buffers".  For example, a
buffer specified by the BUFNAME arg of 'with-output-to-temp-buffer'
should not match such a template.  But I'd favor a solution that skips
all buffers whose name starts with a space as we do for 'other-buffer'
or 'unbury-buffer'.  We'd just have to document it, maybe provide an
additional argument for 'buffer-list' to not return such buffers,
decide what to do when we rename them, when they visit a file, get
killed ...

Of course we do: with-temp-buffer produces buffer names that follow
such a template.

> For example, a buffer specified by the BUFNAME arg of

Such buffers should not necessarily be exempt from running the hooks,
AFAIU.  In any case, one can always bind the hook locally to nil in
the body of the macro, right?

> But I'd favor a solution that skips all buffers whose name starts

I think this is too drastic a measure.  We should only disable the
hooks in buffers where no one in their right minds will ever want to
run them.

IIUC we'd need an expression similar to Vcode_conversion_workbuf_name
to use in 'get-buffer-create'

   b->inhibit_buffer_hooks
     = (STRINGP (Vcode_conversion_workbuf_name)
        && strncmp (SSDATA (name), SSDATA (Vcode_conversion_workbuf_name),
		   SBYTES (Vcode_conversion_workbuf_name)) == 0);

So we could specify, for example,

   staticpro (&Vtemp_buffer_name);
   Vtemp_buffer_name = build_pure_c_string (" *temp*");

and rewrite the above assignment as

   b->inhibit_buffer_hooks
     = ((STRINGP (Vcode_conversion_workbuf_name)
	&& strncmp (SSDATA (name), SSDATA (Vcode_conversion_workbuf_name),
		   SBYTES (Vcode_conversion_workbuf_name)) == 0)

        || (STRINGP (Vtemp_buffer_name)
	   && strncmp (SSDATA (name), SSDATA (Vtemp_buffer_name),
		       SBYTES (Vtemp_buffer_name)) == 0));

Unless the body changes the buffer list in some signifcant way, for
example, by creating or deleting another buffer.

Then what about the buffers created by 'with-temp-file' or
'with-output-to-string'?

Sure, but that's why this should not be done unconditionally.

Fine with me.  But the former already uses with-temp-buffer, so I
don't think we need anything special for it.

Here 'with-temp-file' uses

(get-buffer-create (generate-new-buffer-name " *temp file*"))

and 'with-output-to-string'

(get-buffer-create (generate-new-buffer-name " *string-output*"))

Hmm... I was thinking we could expose `inhibit_buffer_hooks` as a Lisp
variable (so we can set it without having to match names, which I find
ugly and brittle), but we'd want to `setq` it rather than let-bind it.
But while it's easy to set it before running kill-buffer, we can't set
it before calling generate-new-buffer :-(

How 'bout adding an optional argument to `generate-new-buffer` to set
`inhibit_buffer_hooks`?

I wouldn't pass an argument but rather set the flag unconditionally
when NAME starts with a space ...

How about moving 'generate-new-buffer' to C to set that flag without
exposing it to Lisp (and to avoid things like

             ;; We can't use `generate-new-buffer' because files.el
             ;; is not yet loaded.

in 'load-with-code-conversion')?

It is somewhat strange that part of the reasons for not running hooks
are tested inside run_buffer_list_update_hook, and others explicitly
here.  Any special reasons for this inconsistency?

Actually it's not a comment but a doc-string and if you customize
'font-lock-doc-face' you will notice.  These were part of a project of
mine to improve handling and readability of Emacs primitives'
doc-strings (including font locking, Lisp syntax with completion and
eldoc support, correct filling, exporting/importing from C to Lisp to
texinfo and the like).  But since I never managed to write some of
these components, the project has stalled.  I'll stop proliferating
that style now.

You mean 'get-buffer-create'?  I had that in a first version.  But
since you earlier expressed concerns about people abusing the extra
argument of 'generate-new-buffer' I thought 'get-buffer-create' would
be even more critical in this regard.  In either case I'll do what you
(or others) consider best.

If we do that, it would also resolve the "inconsistency" you bemoan
above.  So the answer is probably yes.

Right.  At least I show signs of consistency when adopting silly

FWIW no, it leaves that form in place.  And 'get-buffer-create' should
not have to worry about delving any deeper into the name than down to
its first character to check for ' ' or '*'.

But I'm not happy with my patch anyway.  Something more elegant is
needed.

I know, my emphasis was on eliminating the *need* for it.

The possibilities for the buffer creation subroutine are either to act
specially on certain buffer name prefixes, or to accept an extra
argument indicating what to do, no?  Are there any others?  There was
mention of exposing a buffer-local variable to Elisp, but IIRC setting
that after creating the buffer would already be too late.

Buffer names starting with spaces are already special in some contexts,
so extending that idea for inhibiting buffer hooks doesn't sound too
bad, but the extra flag seems equally elegant and more
backward-compatible.  Am I missing something?

That's what I meant with the above.  In code_conversion_save we should
get rid of _both_ Fget_buffer_create instances but but I have not
managed to understand the Vcode_conversion_workbuf_name vs
Vcode_conversion_reused_workbuf rigmarole yet.

So far there is no extra argument, the entire analysis is based on
examining the proposed name argument.

Eli thinks that "this is too drastic a measure".

> but the extra flag seems equally elegant and more
> backward-compatible.  Am I missing something?

The piece we are discussing here namely how to get rid of the stuff at
the top of this mail.  And issues Eli raised earlier - whether
'get-buffer-create' should accept an extra argument or whether it
should set b->inhibit_buffer_hooks = true.

The latter is a fixed buffer, created once and never killed.  So the
buffer hooks never run for it, and never affect Emacs.  By contrast,
the former is a buffer created when the reused buffer is busy and
cannot be reused.  We then kill Vcode_conversion_workbuf_name when we
no longer need it.  Thus, buffer hooks run for these work buffers all
the time, and for a code-conversion intensive code they could slow
down Emacs, specially if the list of buffer hooks is long.

Since we currently keep this special treatment limited to a small
number of buffer names, I'm not sure there's a need to expose this
facility to Lisp.

Yes.  No one said buffer hooks must _never_ run for temporary buffers.
There could be legitimate Lisp programs which want those hooks to run
in that case.

Thanks, I hope I understand it now.  Could you pretty please add the
(instructive for me) "a buffer created when the reused buffer is busy
and cannot be reused" somewhere to the comments maybe together with a
reference to reused_workbuf_in_use.

Hopefully this also means that we can use _something like_
Fgenerate_new_buffer to replace both instances of Fget_buffer_create
in code_conversion_restore.

I'm not sure either.

Not sure where you want to add this.  coding.c already says:

  /* Name (or base name) of work buffer for code conversion.  */
  Lisp_Object Vcode_conversion_workbuf_name;

You mean code_conversion_save, I presume.

One of those calls to Fget_buffer_create shouldn't generate a new
name, though.  It should always use a fixed name.

What is the "top level conversion"?

I'd prefer something like a common comment for all these variables
going as

/* The internal work buffers for code conversion are created lazily on
    demand.  The name of the first buffer created that way is specified
    by Vcode_conversion_workbuf_name.  Once created, this buffer is no
    more deleted in the current Emacs session.  While this buffer is in
    use, the boolean variable reused_workbuf_in_use is true.  This
    buffer is reused for new conversions whenever reused_workbuf_in_use
    is false.

    When reused_workbuf_in_use is true and more code conversion work
    has to be done, a new buffer is created.  The name of that new
    buffer is generated by Fgenerate_new_buffer_name, using
    Vcode_conversion_workbuf_name as base name.  Any such buffer is
    destroyed immediately as soon as it is no more used.  */

You presume correctly.

 > name, though.  It should always use a fixed name.

Fgenerate_new_buffer_name should do that: "If there is no live buffer
named NAME, then return NAME.".

Concludingly, what we need in the present context is a function

- to create a buffer whose name is generated from a base name
   argument,

- to set the new buffer's inhibit_buffer_hooks flag according to a
   corresponding argument and to not run any hooks when that flag
   should be set and the buffer is created,

- that is as internal as possible to avoid that applications misuse it
   (it can't be entirely internal since macros like 'with-temp-buffer'
   will need it).

How 'bout this: additionally to "hidden buffers" which start with a SPC
character, we introduce the notion of "internal buffers" whose name
starts with another special first char or with two SPC chars and disable
those buffers's hooks.

It's possible, if there's a frequent enough use case for such
automatic disabling.  Is there?

In general, since the hook can be disabled in each buffer
individually, we'd need a very good reason to provide another
facility.

The flag in the C structure has the advantage that it can be easily
set and reset from C without the need to temporarily bind Lisp
variables, which then involves unwind-protect forms etc., and as a
side effect makes the entire operation slower.  Also, a flag can be
set/reset regardless of whether the buffer already finished being
created, whereas buffer-local variables must have a live buffer.

Reading this thread, it seemed like everybody agreed that this patch (in
itself) was a good change, and then the discussion turned to other ways
of specifying "internal" Emacs buffers (that shouldn't have the hooks
run as well, as double-spacing "  *temp*", etc).

The latter may be a nice addition, but the patch here is pretty much
necessary for implementing something like that, so was there any reason
the patch wasn't applied?

Did I?  AFAICT I was only pointing out the trivial simplification of
Fgenerate_new_buffer_name + Fget_buffer_create = Fgenerate_new_buffer
once Fgenerate_new_buffer can be called from C.

I was otherwise happy with the patch and either of the proposed
approaches to setting inhibit_buffer_hooks.

Both, probably.  If you think that patch is of some use, please try to
polish it up and push it.  Honestly, I've forgotten all about it.

And also tell us why 'buffer-list-update-hook' would be still needed now
that we have 'window-selection-change-functions'.

Sure, I'll give it a go.

I'm slightly confused about the conclusion of this thread, though.
You and Eli said it was too radical to set inhibit_buffer_hooks based
on whether a buffer name starts with a space, as there may be legitimate
cases where those hooks should run in a temporary buffer.

I accept this, but I don't see how setting inhibit_buffer_hooks based on
a new optional argument to Fgenerate_new_buffer (and/or
Fget_buffer_create) solves the problem entirely.

If I create a temporary buffer with the proposed

  (generate-new-buffer "foo" t)

then how do I later tell Emacs that this buffer's hooks should run?

In other words, can we be sure that the buffers we choose to create with
inhibit_buffer_hooks set will *never* need to later unset it?

Should we expose a getter or setter for this buffer member, or is that
opening ourselves up to abuse?

I suppose if someone *really* wanted to un-temporarify a buffer with
inhibit_buffer_hooks set, they could create a new, non-temporary buffer
and swap buffer contents, or something to that effect?

Am I wildly misunderstanding something here?

> And also tell us why 'buffer-list-update-hook' would be still needed now

I've yet to look into these hooks and their precise semantics, but are
you suggesting that one might obsolete the other, in which case we
should deprecate the old one?

I'm not sure.  But if we do that, we can get rid of the rest: We'd just
generate the new buffer and set/reset its hook inhibitor afterwards.

Admittedly clumsy.

I don't think so.

People usually don't care about the buffer lists, they always wanted to
run a hook when a window got selected in a more permanent fashion.  At
the time of adding 'buffer-list-update-hook', I thought that it
fulfilled some of the criteria wanted for a 'select-window-hook' and
added text in that sense to the manual.  So if you care about the buffer
lists, 'buffer-list-update-hook' is the one to use.  If you care about
window selection, 'window-selection-change-functions' is the one.

Not necessarily, because Fget_buffer_create still has to run the hook
before returning the buffer.

Thanks, then it sounds to me like there's nothing to be done, other than
recommend the right hook for the right job.  Right?

The assumption is that you don't want to.  Recall that the original
idea was to turn the hooks off unconditionally based on the buffer's
name.  The above is a less drastic measure: it allows the code which
creates the buffer to request that regardless of the name.  But the
original motivation, that there are buffers where we want to never run
the hooks, is still valid.

> In other words, can we be sure that the buffers we choose to create with

We didn't see examples of such buffers, so we pretend they don't
exist.

> Should we expose a getter or setter for this buffer member

Not until someone comes up crying that this is needed, and presents a
convincing use case, IMO.

How's the attached?  The gist of it is that get-buffer-create and
generate-new-buffer gain a new argument for inhibiting buffer hooks,
which is set in with-temp-buffer, with-temp-file, with-output-to-string,
insert-file-contents, Vprin1_to_string_buffer, and code_conversion_save.

Arising questions:

0. Why isn't kill-buffer-hook defined as a DEFVAR_LISP?
   Is it because it has to be defined in init_buffer_once?
   If so, why is that the case?

1. Is it okay for with-temp-buffer, with-temp-file, and
   with-output-to-string to unconditionally inhibit buffer hooks,
   or should this be controlled by e.g. a global variable?

Thanks,

Reading another thread made me realise that this changes the argument

You lost the `(with-current-buffer ,temp-buffer` around `write-region`
so your new code will break if `body` doesn't preserve current-buffer.

Ugh, I thought the caller couldn't kill the buffer because it's later
written, but I didn't think of excursions.  I've now attached an updated
patch.

Subject: [PATCH] Inhibit buffer hooks in temporary buffers

Give get-buffer-create an optional argument to inhibit buffer hooks
in internal or temporary buffers for efficiency (bug#34765).

* .dir-locals.el (c-mode): Enforce existing indent-tabs-mode policy.

* etc/NEWS: Announce new parameter of get-buffer-create and
generate-new-buffer, and that with-temp-buffer and with-temp-file
now inhibit buffer hooks.

* doc/lispref/buffers.texi (Buffer Names): Fix typo.
(Creating Buffers): Document new parameter of get-buffer-create and
generate-new-buffer.
(Buffer List, Killing Buffers): Document when buffer hooks are
inhibited.
(Current Buffer):
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Writing to Files): Document that
with-temp-buffer and with-temp-file inhibit buffer hooks.
* doc/lispref/internals.texi (Buffer Internals): Document
inhibit_buffer_hooks flag.  Remove stale comment.
* doc/misc/gnus-faq.texi (FAQ 5-8):
* lisp/simple.el (shell-command-on-region): Fix indentation.

* lisp/files.el (kill-buffer-hook): Document when hook is inhibited.
(create-file-buffer):
* lisp/gnus/gnus-uu.el (gnus-uu-unshar-article):
* lisp/international/mule.el (load-with-code-conversion):
* lisp/mh-e/mh-xface.el (mh-x-image-url-fetch-image):
* lisp/net/imap.el (imap-open):
* lisp/net/mailcap.el (mailcap-maybe-eval):
* lisp/progmodes/flymake-proc.el
(flymake-proc--read-file-to-temp-buffer)
(flymake-proc--copy-buffer-to-temp-buffer): Simplify.

* lisp/subr.el (generate-new-buffer): Forward new optional argument
to inhibit buffer hooks to get-buffer-create.
(with-temp-file, with-temp-buffer, with-output-to-string):
* lisp/json.el (json-encode-string): Inhibit buffer hooks in buffer
used.

* src/buffer.c (run_buffer_list_update_hook): New helper function.
(Fget_buffer_create): Use it.  Add optional argument to set
inhibit_buffer_hooks flag instead of comparing the buffer name to
Vcode_conversion_workbuf_name.  All callers changed.
(Fmake_indirect_buffer, Frename_buffer, Fbury_buffer_internal)
(record_buffer): Use run_buffer_list_update_hook.
(Fkill_buffer): Document when buffer hooks are inhibited.  Use
run_buffer_list_update_hook.
(init_buffer_once): Inhibit buffer hooks in Vprin1_to_string_buffer.
(Vkill_buffer_query_functions, Vbuffer_list_update_hook): Document
when hooks are inhibited.
* src/buffer.h (struct buffer): Update inhibit_buffer_hooks
commentary.
* src/coding.h (Vcode_conversion_workbuf_name):
* src/coding.c (Vcode_conversion_workbuf_name): Make static again
since it is no longer needed in src/buffer.c.
(code_conversion_restore, code_conversion_save, syms_of_coding):
Prefer boolean over integer constants.
* src/fileio.c (Finsert_file_contents): Inhibit buffer hooks in
" *code-converting-work*" buffer.
* src/window.c (Fselect_window): Fix grammar.  Mention
window-selection-change-functions alongside buffer-list-update-hook.

* test/src/buffer-tests.el: Fix requires.
(buffer-tests-inhibit-buffer-hooks): New test.

It would be good to have here index entries about undo and those hooks
not being used by default in temporary buffers.

Why this test? is it possible for this function to be called with buf
a NULL pointer?

Thanks.

Okay, I pushed it separately.

Something like this?

  @cindex undo in temporary buffers
  @cindex @code{kill-buffer-hook} in temporary buffers
  @cindex @code{kill-buffer-query-functions} in temporary buffers
  @cindex @code{buffer-list-update-hook} in temporary buffers

The printed label "see Current Buffer" should be displayed instead of
this word, which is part of the anchor.  Is that okay?

Yes, in Fmake_indirect_buffer, which doesn't check inhibit_buffer_hooks.

The alternatives would be for Fmake_indirect_buffer to not call
run_buffer_list_update_hook, or to not bother adding
run_buffer_list_update_hook at all.  Do you have a preference?

Thanks,

Sorry, I didn't see that this is an anchor.  So I think the anchor
should not start with a capital letter, as it reads more naturally
that way, I think.  And then the name should be used without
capitalization in the cross-references.  Obviously, this is a minor
nit.

I think just having a comment there saying that make-indirect-buffer
calls this with NULL argument should be okay.

Thanks.

I'm hesitant to change the anchor because all 37 such "Definition of..."
anchors in the tree are capitalised, as are the printed labels of all
their refs.

I'm happy to downcase them, but maybe this should be done wholesale in a
separate commit?

Subject: [PATCH] Inhibit buffer hooks in temporary buffers

Give get-buffer-create an optional argument to inhibit buffer hooks
in internal or temporary buffers for efficiency (bug#34765).

* etc/NEWS: Announce new parameter of get-buffer-create and
generate-new-buffer, and that with-temp-buffer and with-temp-file
now inhibit buffer hooks.

* doc/lispref/buffers.texi (Buffer Names): Fix typo.
(Creating Buffers): Document new parameter of get-buffer-create and
generate-new-buffer.
(Buffer List, Killing Buffers): Document when buffer hooks are
inhibited.
(Current Buffer):
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Writing to Files): Document that
with-temp-buffer and with-temp-file inhibit buffer hooks.
* doc/lispref/internals.texi (Buffer Internals): Document
inhibit_buffer_hooks flag.  Remove stale comment.
* doc/misc/gnus-faq.texi (FAQ 5-8):
* lisp/simple.el (shell-command-on-region): Fix indentation.

* lisp/files.el (kill-buffer-hook): Document when hook is inhibited.
(create-file-buffer):
* lisp/gnus/gnus-uu.el (gnus-uu-unshar-article):
* lisp/international/mule.el (load-with-code-conversion):
* lisp/mh-e/mh-xface.el (mh-x-image-url-fetch-image):
* lisp/net/imap.el (imap-open):
* lisp/net/mailcap.el (mailcap-maybe-eval):
* lisp/progmodes/flymake-proc.el
(flymake-proc--read-file-to-temp-buffer)
(flymake-proc--copy-buffer-to-temp-buffer): Simplify.

* lisp/subr.el (generate-new-buffer): Forward new optional argument
to inhibit buffer hooks to get-buffer-create.
(with-temp-file, with-temp-buffer, with-output-to-string):
* lisp/json.el (json-encode-string): Inhibit buffer hooks in buffer
used.

* src/buffer.c (run_buffer_list_update_hook): New helper function.
(Fget_buffer_create): Use it.  Add optional argument to set
inhibit_buffer_hooks flag instead of comparing the buffer name to
Vcode_conversion_workbuf_name.  All callers changed.
(Fmake_indirect_buffer, Frename_buffer, Fbury_buffer_internal)
(record_buffer): Use run_buffer_list_update_hook.
(Fkill_buffer): Document when buffer hooks are inhibited.  Use
run_buffer_list_update_hook.
(init_buffer_once): Inhibit buffer hooks in Vprin1_to_string_buffer.
(Vkill_buffer_query_functions, Vbuffer_list_update_hook): Document
when hooks are inhibited.
* src/buffer.h (struct buffer): Update inhibit_buffer_hooks
commentary.
* src/coding.h (Vcode_conversion_workbuf_name):
* src/coding.c (Vcode_conversion_workbuf_name): Make static again
since it is no longer needed in src/buffer.c.
(code_conversion_restore, code_conversion_save, syms_of_coding):
Prefer boolean over integer constants.
* src/fileio.c (Finsert_file_contents): Inhibit buffer hooks in
" *code-converting-work*" buffer.
* src/window.c (Fselect_window): Fix grammar.  Mention
window-selection-change-functions alongside buffer-list-update-hook.

* test/src/buffer-tests.el: Fix requires.
(buffer-tests-inhibit-buffer-hooks): New test.

That's okay, let's leave the anchor capitalization alone for now.

They did.

It didn't. IIRC a temp buffer was created 2 or 3 times every time
I would move point. The problem is that this *somehow* triggered a
feedback loop with treemacs and magit feeding off each other. I
haven't really understood what happened there as that would require
some very deep digging inside magit's internals. There's a recipe for
emacs -q in the github issue if you want to see this for yourself.

So what was the problem there?  How did 'buffer-list-update-hook' get
invoked in such a wild manner?

This alone qualifies as a bug IMHO.

I think that creating a new temporary buffer should always be the
exception and never the rule.  Does the point moving happen in the
treemacs buffer or in that of a plain (probably git-controlled)
buffer?

Can you pass me a corresponding URL?

[Alexander Miller]

As I understand it: advising select-window served the purpose of
remembering the
current window so the modeline can be highlighted in tune with the
selection. The
advising code would also call force-mode-line-update, that in turn lead
to a re-calculation
of the frame title, in spacemacs this could in turn call format-spec,
that would use a
temp-buffer, that triggers buffer-list-update-hook, that triggers
treemacs' follow-mode
callback, that calls with-selected-window, that leads back to the
modeline's select-window
advice. That's more or less what the feedback loop looked like.

Come to think of it, maybe just suppressing the hook during my own
window-selection
will do the trick.

 > This alone qualifies as a bug IMHO.

You'll have to take that up with Jonas. I linked this discussion in
github, so he'll probably
read this.

You misunderstood. The issue only happened when the treemacs window was
visible,
but point was in magit's status buffer and a region was active (e.g.
when you want to
select single lines for staging or reverting). Non-magit buffers had no
issues.

Thanks.  IIUC this means that we'll have to put an extra warning in
the doc-string of 'buffer-list-update-hook' to not kill, rename or
create buffers or select another window with NORECORD nil in its
functions.  I listed all functions calling that hook in the hope that
people would then avoid that but your example shows that such endless
recursions can be quite tricky to detect.

One major design goal of the new window change functions was to simply
not invoke them recursively so such scenarios should not happen there
(and was immediately proven wrong by the redisplay mechanism itself).

I thought you had another one (with more insight into how that problem
triggered).  But the scenario above is sufficient to imagine what can
happen ...
