bug#1070: Looping in redisplay due to font problem

[Chong Yidong]

After the 2008-07-09 change to ftfont.c, Emacs can loop during redisplay
under the following conditions:

xrdb /dev/null
emacs -Q fc-list.list   [fc-list.list is attached]
<PageDown>
<PageDown>
<PageDown>
<PageDown>

Emacs begins looping while in redisplay, while displaying the text
"Corsivo" (the final letter "o" blinks rapidly).

Strangely enough, I can't reproduce this if I substitute C-v for
PageDown (?!??!).  Also, the bug doesn't show up if there is an X
resource Emacs.geometry already defined.

The problem seems to have appeared for the first time during the checkin
listed below.  My tests indicate that the other files involved this
checkin do not affect the problem.

Could you see if you can reproduce this problem, and review the code
changes to see if they may have caused it?  Thanks!

That's a very strange phenomenon.  But, I can't reproduce
it.  When I hit PageDown four times, the top line is "Luxi
Sans:style=Regular", and "Corsivo" appears on the 9th line
(logically 8th line because of continuation).

In my case, this font is selected for the default case:

-bitstream-Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-16-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1

Which font is selected in your case?

And, what does "Emacs begins looping while in redisplay"
exactly mean?

C-u C-x = gives

-unknown-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-16-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1

Emacs is unresponsive to any further input, and the character "o" in
"Corsivo" flickers.  Interrupting the loop in gdb gives the following
backtrace.  It seems to be stuck in an Xft function.

Does Emacs always stop at that place when you repeat "cont"
and "stop"?

Yes, it always seems to stop at this place.  Here's `bt full' and a
debugging session.  I don't see anything wrong OTOH, and am unsure about
what to look for.  Stepping forward in gdb doesn't work because the
program is stopped inside `select'.  Any suggestions?

Please try to comment out all calls of XSetClipMask in
x_draw_glyph_string, and check if Emacs loops in redisplay.

It still loops, though the backtrace is different now.  Interrupting the
loop several times, I see that it gets stuck in two places within
xftfont_draw, at xftfont.c:561 and xftfont.c:549.

Another clue: I can't reproduce this bug on my 32-bit laptop, so maybe
it only shows up on 64-bit machines.

Ummm.  As I don't have 64-bit machines, it's difficult to
find what is wrong :-(

Do you see the same problem with the different font (or with
the different size of the same font)?
Do you see the same problem when you use only x font-backend?

I see the same problem with different sizes of the same font (DejaVu
Sans Mono), but the looping occurs at different places in the buffer.

It doesn't happen with X font backend fonts, nor with other Xft fonts I
tried (DejaVu Sans, Nimbus mono L, Jet, Dimnah, Terminus, Bitstream Vera
Sans Mono).

Please try to comment out all calls of XSetClipMask in
x_draw_glyph_string, and check if Emacs loops in redisplay.

I found the bug: it's an infloop in update_text_area which can happen
when the pixel width of the current glyph is smaller than the lbearing
of the next glyph.  I'm not sure why the bug was triggered only under
the situation I described; maybe, only that exact geometry and font
produced the numbers leading to the infloop.

I've checked in a fix.

Yes, it always seems to stop at this place.  Here's `bt full' and a
debugging session.  I don't see anything wrong OTOH, and am unsure about
what to look for.  Stepping forward in gdb doesn't work because the
program is stopped inside `select'.  Any suggestions?

Emacs is unresponsive to any further input, and the character "o" in
"Corsivo" flickers.  Interrupting the loop in gdb gives the following
backtrace.  It seems to be stuck in an Xft function.

I found the bug: it's an infloop in update_text_area which can happen
when the pixel width of the current glyph is smaller than the lbearing
of the next glyph.  I'm not sure why the bug was triggered only under
the situation I described; maybe, only that exact geometry and font
produced the numbers leading to the infloop.

I've checked in a fix.

That's a very strange phenomenon.  But, I can't reproduce
it.  When I hit PageDown four times, the top line is "Luxi
Sans:style=Regular", and "Corsivo" appears on the 9th line
(logically 8th line because of continuation).

In my case, this font is selected for the default case:

-bitstream-Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-16-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1

Which font is selected in your case?

And, what does "Emacs begins looping while in redisplay"
exactly mean?

After the 2008-07-09 change to ftfont.c, Emacs can loop during redisplay
under the following conditions:

xrdb /dev/null
emacs -Q fc-list.list   [fc-list.list is attached]
<PageDown>
<PageDown>
<PageDown>
<PageDown>

Emacs begins looping while in redisplay, while displaying the text
"Corsivo" (the final letter "o" blinks rapidly).

Strangely enough, I can't reproduce this if I substitute C-v for
PageDown (?!??!).  Also, the bug doesn't show up if there is an X
resource Emacs.geometry already defined.

The problem seems to have appeared for the first time during the checkin
listed below.  My tests indicate that the other files involved this
checkin do not affect the problem.

Could you see if you can reproduce this problem, and review the code
changes to see if they may have caused it?  Thanks!
