* bug#17236: undo-only hangs when nils double up @ 2014-04-10 16:15 Barry OReilly 2014-04-10 17:23 ` Andreas Schwab 2014-04-10 20:30 ` Stefan Monnier 0 siblings, 2 replies; 4+ messages in thread From: Barry OReilly @ 2014-04-10 16:15 UTC (permalink / raw) To: 17236 When there are consecutive nils in buffer-undo-list, undo-only can hang. For example, if buffer-undo-list begins with (nil nil ...), then the first undo-only succeeds, changes nothing, and inserts an identity mapping into undo-equiv-table. The second undo-only hangs because the identity mapping causes an infinite recursive lookup in undo-equiv-table. Perhaps the bug is in the Emacs package (Evil in this case) that doubles up the nils. I ask here because the undo code already seems to try to account for these to some extent. eg there are a few of these in the undo function: (while (eq (car list) nil) (setq list (cdr list))) Is this an Emacs bug or an Evil bug? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Putting a double nil in the undo-list is an error, so Evil is to blame. But that doesn't excuse the inf-loop. We should check with `eq' that we don't add an identity mapping to undo-equiv-table.
