bug#837: 23.0.60; ediff-merge-revision: Buffer exceeds maximum size

[Lennart Borgman (gmail)]

When I just made a checkout of Emacs from CVS I got a merge conflict
which I used ediff-revision to resolve. I then got the following back
trace when I did "wb" to save the corrected file:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Buffer exceeds maximum size")
  call-process("diff" nil #<buffer *ediff-custom-diff*> nil "-c"
"c:/DOCUME~1/LENNAR~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ediff282470M"
"c:/ecvsnew/bld/emacs/src/w32term.c")
  apply(call-process "diff" nil #<buffer *ediff-custom-diff*> nil ("-c"
"c:/DOCUME~1/LENNAR~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ediff282470M"
"c:/ecvsnew/bld/emacs/src/w32term.c"))
  ediff-exec-process("diff" #<buffer *ediff-custom-diff*> synchronize
"-c" "c:/DOCUME~1/LENNAR~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ediff282470M"
"c:/ecvsnew/bld/emacs/src/w32term.c")
  ediff-compute-custom-diffs-maybe()
  ediff-save-buffer(nil)
  call-interactively(ediff-save-buffer nil nil)

Looking into ediff-custom-diff I can see there is some problem with ^M:

! 	emacs_event->part = scroll_bar_handle;
! 	y = 0;
! 	break;
        case SB_BOTTOM:
! 	emacs_event->part = scroll_bar_handle;
! 	y = top_range;
! 	break;
        case SB_THUMBTRACK:
        case SB_THUMBPOSITION:
! 	if (VERTICAL_SCROLL_BAR_TOP_RANGE (f, XINT (bar->height)) <= 0xffff)
            y = HIWORD (msg->msg.wParam);

! 	bar->dragging = Qt;

! 	emacs_event->part = scroll_bar_handle;



! 	/* "Silently" update current position.  */

! 	{

! 	  SCROLLINFO si;




This was with my patched version, but I do not think I have any patches
that comes in here:

In GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
 of 2008-08-28 (patched)
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600

This says that the output of diff -c exceeds the buffer size.

It is unclear how this is related to ediff per se, since ediff merely calls
call-process with the above command.

Can you explain what the problem is? It is unclear from the included text below.

In any case, I deed to be able to reproduce it in order to be able to determine
if something needs to be fixed in ediff. Right now it does not look like
an ediff problem.

Sorry, I thought the part of the output below should show it, but of
course the ^M characters I saw is gone here...

Lines somewhere below the middle of the output below had extra ^M at the
end of them.

I can't reproduce the problem now, maybe it was some kind of temporary
problem - perhaps a bad checkin to the CVS at that time?

I don't know -haven't seen this. But the main problem seems to have been that
diff -c produced a very large buffer, although I can't imagine  how big it
could have been in order to cause the "Buffer exceeds maximum size" error.
In any case, it seems to be a problem with diff or call-process, if at
all.

This says that the output of diff -c exceeds the buffer size.

It is unclear how this is related to ediff per se, since ediff merely calls
call-process with the above command.

Can you explain what the problem is? It is unclear from the included text below.

In any case, I deed to be able to reproduce it in order to be able to determine
if something needs to be fixed in ediff. Right now it does not look like
an ediff problem.

Subject: 23.0.60; ediff-merge-revision: Buffer exceeds maximum size

Message-ID: <48BA9F45.2090908@gmail.com>

When I just made a checkout of Emacs from CVS I got a merge conflict
which I used ediff-revision to resolve. I then got the following back
trace when I did "wb" to save the corrected file:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Buffer exceeds maximum size")
  call-process("diff" nil #<buffer *ediff-custom-diff*> nil "-c"
"c:/DOCUME~1/LENNAR~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ediff282470M"
"c:/ecvsnew/bld/emacs/src/w32term.c")
  apply(call-process "diff" nil #<buffer *ediff-custom-diff*> nil ("-c"
"c:/DOCUME~1/LENNAR~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ediff282470M"
"c:/ecvsnew/bld/emacs/src/w32term.c"))
  ediff-exec-process("diff" #<buffer *ediff-custom-diff*> synchronize
"-c" "c:/DOCUME~1/LENNAR~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ediff282470M"
"c:/ecvsnew/bld/emacs/src/w32term.c")
  ediff-compute-custom-diffs-maybe()
  ediff-save-buffer(nil)
  call-interactively(ediff-save-buffer nil nil)

Looking into ediff-custom-diff I can see there is some problem with ^M:

! 	emacs_event->part = scroll_bar_handle;
! 	y = 0;
! 	break;
        case SB_BOTTOM:
! 	emacs_event->part = scroll_bar_handle;
! 	y = top_range;
! 	break;
        case SB_THUMBTRACK:
        case SB_THUMBPOSITION:
! 	if (VERTICAL_SCROLL_BAR_TOP_RANGE (f, XINT (bar->height)) <= 0xffff)
            y = HIWORD (msg->msg.wParam);

! 	bar->dragging = Qt;

! 	emacs_event->part = scroll_bar_handle;



! 	/* "Silently" update current position.  */

! 	{

! 	  SCROLLINFO si;




This was with my patched version, but I do not think I have any patches
that comes in here:

In GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
 of 2008-08-28 (patched)
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600
configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.4) --cflags -Ic:/g/include'
