Hi,
I can reproduce systematically this freeze dealing with a 10000lines
Python file :

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hugsy/gef/refs/heads/main/gef.py
emacs -Q gef.py

PageDown several times or scrolling with the mouse

Emacs freezes, Ctrl-g not working, CPU 100%

It works also by searching : Ctrl-s show RET
then Ctrl-s several times




With a minimal .emacs :

(set debug-on-error t)
(set debug-on-quit t)

and before scrolling

M-x profiler-start RET

then in an external terminal

pkill -SIGUSR2 emacs

I get the backtrace :

Debugger entered--entering a function:

Please tell me how I can help ?

Please tell me if there is a workaround without losing python syntax color ?

Thanks

A much smaller reproducer is attached below.  Just visiting it freezes
Emacs.  But if I change the line marked below:

    @classmethod
    def is_valid(cls, _: pathlib.Path) -> bool:
        raise NotImplementedError

    def __str__(self) -> str:
  >>>>> return f"{self.name}('{self.path.absolute()}', entry @ {self.entry_point:#x})"

to say this instead:

        return self.name

the problem goes away.  So it is something in that complex expression
that trips syntax-ppss.

Stefan and kobarity, any suggestions or ideas?

Hi,

Deleting all the "#" in the f-string of the gef.py file removes the problem
on my side.
 sed -i -e 's/#0{align/0{align/g' gef.py
 sed -i -e 's/#0{width/0{width/g' gef.py
 sed -i -e 's/#07x}/07x}/g' gef.py
 sed -i -e 's/#06x}/06x}/g' gef.py
 sed -i -e 's/#04x}/04x}/g' gef.py
 sed -i -e 's/#4x}/4x}/g' gef.py
 sed -i -e 's/#8x}/8x}/g' gef.py
 sed -i -e 's/#10x}/10x}/g' gef.py
 sed -i -e 's/#x}/x}/g' gef.py

Your smaller example Eli also contains a f-string with the "#".

This python f-string format specifier is described here:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#format-specification-mini-language

Is this format specifier supported from the beginning ?

For example :

value = 0xab
print(f"{value:x} is a value")

=> color syntax : *is a value*    has the color defined by
font-lock-string-face

while

value = 0xab
print(f"{value:#x} is a value")

=> color are messed up... *is* has color defined by font-lock-keyword-face
and *a value* has color defined by default face

Best,

Rehan

If you can configure Emacs to use tree-sitter, python-ts-mode would
not be affected by this problem.

It seems to be reproducible after the following commit:

I could not reproduce the freeze, but it took several seconds to visit
the reproducer.  It appears to be possible to work around this by
simply removing the format specifier ":#x".

return f"{self.name}('{self.path.absolute()}', entry @ {self.entry_point})"

So there may be a problem with font-lock when there is an f-string
format specifier, but I have not found the root cause yet.

The mechanism of the hang is still unclear, but I found the cause of
the font-lock malfunction: when using `up-list' to find the
corresponding closing brace for an opening brace in an f-string, if
the format specifier contains "#", the rest of the string is
considered a comment and the search fails.  Therefore, it can be
worked around by temporarily binding `parse-sexp-ignore-comments' to
nil, as in the attached patch.

Hangs on gef.py can also be avoided with this patch, but it assumes
that the braces are properly closed.  If you remove the closing braces
of expressions containing "#", it will eventually hang.

thanks kobarity, with your patch, I confirm that :
- I can open gef.py and scroll
- I get the correct font-lock-string-face in the f-string after a "#" in
the format

Maybe a cleaner solution would be to locally use a different
syntax-table (where # doesn't start a comment), but I'm not sure it's
worth the trouble.  So I installed your patch into `master`, thank you.

Maybe we should also temporarily setup a narrowing so `up-list` can't
look past `send`.

BTW, beside removing the `font-lock-string-face` from the `face`
property, `python--font-lock-f-strings` should probably also add
a special face for the ":<FMT>" thingies found (optionally) at the end.

Hmm...

Thank you.  I agree with you about the syntax-table.

Narrowing might improve it, but what about binding
`forward-sexp-function' to nil as well, as in the attached patch?  It
seems to resolve the hang caused by the unbalanced braces in
f-strings.

1. wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hugsy/gef/refs/heads/main/gef.py
2. sed -i -e 's/\(:#\d*x\)}/\1/g' gef.py
3. emacs -Q gef.py
4. Scroll down the file.

I don't think `python-nav-forward-sexp' is necessary here, since the
inside of the braces should be an expression, not statements.

Oh, of course, yes!
Thanks, pushed!
