I'm on windows using latest native compilation. I noticed that when doing doom sync (I use Doom emacs) it would hang on the native compilation step. I looked at the opened emacs processes in the task manager during this bug to try to find a file with which I could make the bug trigger again. In the task manager I see that about 10 emacs processes are stuck on 10 files. Using this file: https://pastebin.com/z4wLheXa as emacs-async-comp-ox-ascii.el, I call the following command: emacs -Q --batch -l c:/Users/Matt/emacs-async-comp-ox-ascii.el > Compiling c:/Users/Matt/.emacs.d/.local/straight/build-28.0.50/org-mode/ox-ascii.el... It never finishes. If I interrupt the process I get the following backtrace: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Removing old name" "Permission denied" "c:/Users/Matt/.emacs.d/.local/cache/eln/28.0.50-4c...") kill-emacs(t) command-line() normal-top-level() Removing old name: Permission denied, c:/Users/Matt/.emacs.d/.local/cache/eln/28.0.50-4c6fa13f/ox-ascii-dcca1ba0-825ea35cp6iXUJ.eln.old Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Removing old name" "Permission denied" "c:/Users/Matt/.emacs.d/.local/cache/eln/28.0.50-4c...") command-error-default-function((file-error "Removing old name" "Permission denied" "c:/Users/Matt/.emacs.d/.local/cache/eln/28.0.50-4c...") "" debug) apply(command-error-default-function ((file-error "Removing old name" "Permission denied" "c:/Users/Matt/.emacs.d/.local/cache/eln/28.0.50-4c...") "" debug)) #f(advice-wrapper :after command-error-default-function help-command-error-confusable-suggestions)((file-error "Removing old name" "Permission denied" "c:/Users/Matt/.emacs.d/.local/cache/eln/28.0.50-4c...") "" debug) It renamed a file from file.eln to file.eln.old, then tries to delete the file.eln.old but gets a Permission denied error. If I start the same command again without interrupting, and try to delete the file.eln.old manually, I get the error: Can't remove file because the file is opened in emacs.exe And the only emacs.exe process runnin on the computer is the one doing the native compilation, the one which created the file.eln.old. So that seems to indicate that the emacs process that renames the file doesn't have the permission to remove the same file because of it being opened in itself.
