With emacs -Q load the attached file elinfo.el.  Now type

C-h S split-window RET

C-x o

C-c C-g

This crashes Emacs here with

Thread 1 "emacs" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The same scenario worked well with Emacs 22 through 28.

Try finding out the Lisp context: what function is called and with what arguments? What is the regexp, exactly? What text does it attempt to match against?

I can reproduce on MS-Windows.  It's an infinite recursion.

Here's the end of the call stack:

Hmmm, strange that I'm unable to then.

The recursion seems to be in code added in 5a864f23eb. Does the problem disappear if that commit is unmade?

I shall give this another go but meanwhile maybe Stefan could look at it, too?
Not that I am implything there is anything wrong with his code. Heavens, no.

That should be the re-search-forward call in elinfo.el:973.

Thank you, this one is apparently generated dynamically.

Now I can reproduce the crash (I didn't have any TAGS files).

Yes, if I revert that change, the problem goes away.

Hmm... the line numbers strongly suggests the inf-recursion happens via
the calls:

    case on_failure_jump:
      {
        int mcnt;
	p2++;
	EXTRACT_NUMBER_AND_INCR (mcnt, p2);
	/* Don't just test `mcnt > 0` because non-greedy loops have
	   their test at the end with an unconditional jump at the start.  */
	if (p2 + mcnt > p2_orig) /* Ensure forward progress.  */
	  return (mutually_exclusive_p (bufp, p1, p2)
		  && mutually_exclusive_p (bufp, p1, p2 + mcnt));
	break;
      }

Re-reading the code I see that `skip_noops` can return a position
smaller than its argument, which makes it possible for `p2` to
be smaller (or equal) to `p2_orig` and hence explain that inf-loop
(that's the only path I can see that explains the inf-loop you're
seeing).

So, the patch below should hopefully fix your problem.

Minimised reproduction recipe:

  (string-match (rx (* "a") (* (* "b"))) "a")

(Don't worry about the nested stars; the original was more like (* (| A (* B))).)

The generated bytecode is:

    0  on-failure-jump-smart to 9
    3  exact "a"
    6  jump to 0
    9  on-failure-jump-loop to 24
   12  on-failure-jump-smart to 21
   15  exact "b"
   18  jump to 12
   21  jump to 9
   24  succeed

which suggests a mutual_exclusive_p recursion loop:

  mep(3,9)
  -> mep(3,12)
     -> mep(3,21) = {skip_noop} = mep(3,9)
        -> mep(3,12)
           ...

Maybe there is something clever we could do here but it's possible that we just can't avoid keeping track of visited nodes.

Yes, with this patch the problem is gone.

Please install on the release branch, when you are satisfied with the

Thank you for fixing it, but now regex-emacs-tests fail with a regexp stack overflow. It seems that by fixing this bug, we've unfixed the one that the broken code was supposed to fix.

And we should probably include a regression test for this bug as well. The previously mentioned

  (string-match (rx (* "a") (* (* "b"))) "a")

might suffice, but extending it to

  (string-match (rx (* "a") (* (or "c" (* "b")))) "a")

is safer in case the regexp compiler decides to simplify (* (* X)) -> (* X).

Really?  I thought I had specifically run that test.
[ ...recompiling + rerunning the test... ]
Hmm... you're right.  Crap.

Well, that one was less of a bug (more of a missing optimization), so
it's no reason to revert the change, but yes, not good.
Let's see if I can finagle something.

Feel free.  To me, it feels too much like testing the presence/absence
of a very specific bug (i.e. too unlikely that we'll reintroduce that
exact bug.  It's not like it was a weird case I didn't think of).

I liked your previous optimisation, so if you could finagle it back without breaking anything that would be pukka.

Alright, pushed to emacs-29. It's a cheap test and offers at least some kind of protection in the event that someone undoes your handiwork. Such things do happen after all.

I marked the backtracking test as failing because the "real" fix wil
likely be too risky to put onto `emacs-29` (at least for now).

WDYT of the approach below?
You can ignore the `mutually_exclusive_(charset|exactn)` thingies which
just move code around (it's necessary for the patch).

It's a bit ugly because the actual assumptions on which it relies aren't
spelled out explicitly (and even less assert-checked at run time).

The basic idea is that `done` points to the beginning of the "current
loop": as long as we move forward we presume we may still be in the
current loop, and when we find a jump backward it's either a jump to the
beginning of a new (nested/further) loop (so we move `done`) or a jump
to the same loop or to some earlier loop (which we presumably handle
elsewhere).

I also tried a safer option where we do:

	return ((p2 < done ? false
		 : p2 == done ? true
		 : mutually_exclusive_aux (bufp, p1, p2,
		                           p2 > p2_orig ? done : p2))
		&& (p2_other < done ? false
		    : p2_other == done ? true
		    : mutually_exclusive_aux (bufp, p1, p2_other,
		                              p2_other > p2_orig
		                              ? done : p2_other)));

i.e. we only consider `done` itself as "already checked", which should
definitely be safe.  It also seems to be sufficient to handle things
like:

    (should (looking-at "x*\\(=+?\\|h\\)+"))

Adding an `assert (p2 >= done)` confirms that this does happen, so
whether we return true or false when `p2 < done` does matter, so I guess
we should go with the safer option unless we can really convince
ourselves that the more optimistic option is also correct.

Then again, maybe we should bite the bullet and actually keep track of
the positions already visited, so we don't need any "fancy" argument.

Actually that's a good refactoring to start with regardless of the path we follow later. Makes things more readable if nothing else.

So how can we describe the exact semantics of `done` in mutually_exclusive_aux(p1,p2,done)?
Something like:

Let me(p1,p2) = true iff (p1 matches) implies (p2 fails).
Then me_aux(p1,p2,done) = me(p1,p2)
under the assumption that me(p1,x) holds for all x<done where x is reachable from p2.

?

Can you give an example of such a regexp? I ran `make check` with your patch applied and checking enabled but got no assertion failure.

There are a couple of ways of doing that but it might not be that bad. It would also be more robust in face of future changes that may not obey the current invariants.

My patch didn't include the assertion :-)
The patch below does and hits an assertion failure during the dump:

Oh, I thought you meant the eassert (p2 >= done); added at the start of mutually_exclusive_aux. Sorry about the confusion.
Anyway, disassembling the regexp makes it clear why:

Disassembly of regexp "\\`[^ ]+\\( [^ ]+\\)*\\'"

    0  begbuf
    1  charset-not [ ]
    8  on-failure-jump-smart to 21
   11  charset-not [ ]
   18  jump to 8
   21  on-failure-jump to 54
   24  start-memory group 1
   26  exact " "
   29  charset-not [ ]
   36  on-failure-jump-smart to 49
   39  charset-not [ ]
   46  jump to 36
   49  stop-memory group 1
   51  jump to 21
   54  endbuf
   55  succeed

which unless I'm mistaken we can condense to:

Disassembly of regexp "\\(?:ba*\\)*"

    0  on-failure-jump to 18
    3  exact "b"
    6  on-failure-jump-smart to 15
    9  exact "a"
   12  jump to 6
   15  jump to 0
   18  succeed

so yes, we may need to remember where we've been. (At this point someone will inevitably point out a helpful invariant that is obvious in hindsight. This is just my cunning attempt at making that happen.)

I believe this is still being worked on and discussed by Stefan and
Mattias.

I think we can close it.  What is being discussed is how to recover the
optimization that had to be significantly weakened to fix this patch,
but it was a new optimization in Emacs-29, so it's not urgent nor
a bug fix.

Would you confirm that bug#61514 remains 'fixed' for practical purposes? I ran a few of the cases in that bug and it seems that we have them still covered, but I may have missed something.

I believe it does: the real fix was to use narrowing.

Thanks, I'm therefore closing this bug report.

No helpful invariant that makes it trivial, but if we keep pushing the
same idea that we rely on the assumption that we just have
a syntactically nested loop nest, then we can handle that as in the
patch below.

I.e. keep the idea I proposed of keeping track of a beg..end region
that's already been handled.  But now we really do have to maintain both
ends (before, I only had `done` which kept track of the end of the
region), and just "restart" when we jump back to a point before the
"done" region.

Thank you, this looks workable and should enable some further optimisations. Another option would be to add the usual cycle detection, but this is probably faster.

I just pushed this to `master`.

That wouldn't be fun, tho, would it?

I think I have a "helpful invariant", finally:

Because of how we build our code, when we're at an `on_failure_jump` the
two branches can either both go forward (typically for a "|" or a "?"),
or *one* of them goes backward the other forward (for loops), where the
one that goes backward (i.e. `p2 <= p2_orig`) is the edge (call it
`p2_loop`) that goes back to the beginning of the loop and the other
(call it `p2_exit`) is the one that exits the loop.

Now, because our loops are nested with proper "structured programming",
there can't be any jump from within the loop to outside the loop except
for the current jump.  And there can't be any jump from outside the loop
to inside the loop except by entering via `p2_loop`.

Since we have two recursive calls to `mutually_exclusive_p` (one for
`p2_exit` and one for `p2_loop`) and each one only needs to check those
positions not checked by the other, we can say that `p2_loop` only needs
to check the positions within the loop (i.e. between `p2_loop` and
`p2_exit`) and can presume that *all* other positions are checked by the
other recursive call (the one that starts at `p2_exit`).

So I think a single arg `done_end` (set, like the current `done_end`, to
`p2_loop` when recursing into `p2_loop`) is indeed sufficient: there's
no way to go from `p2_loop` to before `p2_loop` without first going to
`p2_exit` (which is already checked by the other call).

I think you are right, but wouldn't mind seeing it confirmed empirically. Say, by cross-checking using an an alternative (slower) implementation that directly checks whether a node has been visited before.

I'm reworking my code so it takes 2 arguments: the loop-entry and the
loop-exit.  Any jump outside of those bounds should never happen so we
can assert it to check that our assumptions are right (and we can
return false when we don't compile assertions, so it's never over-optimistic).

Hmm... not quite working yet.  With the patch below I get:

    [...]

The problem is that my code sees the `jump 9` (near the end) followed by
`start_memory` and `on_failure_jump to 26` as a a backward jump that
defines a loop whose body starts at 14 and whose exit point is at 26,
but that 14..26 is not a loop, it's a `|` and those don't obey the
assumption I made about the exit point (the 2 destinations of such an
`on_failure_jump` correspond to the first and the second patterns of the
`|`, i.e. entry&middle rather than entry&exit, so there *can* be
jumps straight out from the first point without going through the second
point 🙁).

BTW, here's an indented version of the code:

    0:      /on_failure_jump_smart to 9 {
    3:        /exactn/1/x
    6:      } /jump to 0
    9:      { /start_memory/1
    11:       /on_failure_jump to 26
    14:       /on_failure_jump_smart to 23 {
    17:         /exactn/1/=
    20:       } /jump to 14
    23:       /jump to 29
    26:       /exactn/1/h
    29:       /stop_memory/1
    31:       /on_failure_jump_loop to 37
    34:     } /jump to 9
    37:     /succeed
    38:     end of pattern.

Another problem we see here is that the main (second) loop spans 9..37
and is controlled by the `/on_failure_jump_loop to 37` but the two
destination of the OFJ are not 9 and 37 but 34 and 37 🙂.

So maybe we should `skip_noops` before looking at the destinations to
decide if it's a loop?

Nah, just introduces other problems :-(

BTW maybe we should replace

    31:     /on_failure_jump_loop to 37
    34:     /jump to 9

with

    31:     /on_failure_dont_jump_loop to 9

It's quite funny actually: with the current bytecodes, every iteration
of a backtracking greedy loop runs `jump + on_failure_jump`, whereas for
a non-greedy loop every iteration runs just a single `on_failure_jump`.
Yet those bytecodes predate the introduction of non-greedy loops :-)

[ Of course, there are reasons for it, beside historical ones: it's harder
  to rewrite a loop that ends with `on_failure_dont_jump_smart` into one
  using `on_failure_keep_string_jump` :-(  ]

In the mean time the patch below recognizes the above pattern, which
gives me code which is safe (it should both always terminate and should
never apply the optimization if it's not valid) yet does find the
optimization in all the cases where I expected it.

Yes, maybe this would work but the ad-hocness of it all means that I very much could have missed something (and as you comment, that it's brittle).

So this is what prevented me from running with counts above 2**15 and debugging enabled for all these years...

Looks like it.

In any case, I pushed a variant of the last patch to `master` and
I think the case is now closed.  We may want to revisit it, presumably
by really keeping track of the all visited nodes, but this seems to work
well for now and I'm confident that it is safe (regardless of the shape
of the bytecode, it should always terminate and it should never apply
the optimization if it's incorrect, and with the shape of the bytecode
we currently produce it does correctly apply the optimization in the cases
I checked).


        Stefan

Good, thank you.
