bug#23320: 25.0.92; Window width not updated after frame resize (Win32 and GTK)

Hi!

I noticed a regression on 25.0.92 compared to 24.5 where the following code
behaves differently on the w32 port. (On a recent GTK build it also
misbehaves, but not under the NS port.)

    (progn
      (set-frame-size (selected-frame) 1000 400 t)
      (window-width nil t))

On 24.5, this evaluates to "1000". However, on 25.0.92 `window-width'
returns the width prior to the frame resize. (Evaluating it a second time
returns 1000, though.)

Adding `(sit-for 0)' before the call to `window-width' make is return 1000
the first time, but it doesn't feel like a robust solution.

Is this the expected behavior? If it is, is adding `(sit-for 0)' the
recommended way to get the correct window width after a frame resize?

Thanks for the report.  Just in due time to fix this for the release.
Moreover it allows me to remember the purpose of a change (something I
was unable to do in the discussion of bug#21380).  You can find the gory
details here:

http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=21380

The corresponding commit is:

commit 8af8355c3f72500986f6f10b62714b228d6f35ee
Author: Martin Rudalics <rudalics@gmx.at>
Date:   Mon Aug 31 11:09:22 2015 +0200

     Don't call do_pending_window_change in signal handlers (Bug#21380)

     * src/gtkutil.c (xg_frame_resized):
     * src/xterm.c (x_set_window_size):
     * src/w32term.c (x_set_window_size): Don't call
     do_pending_window_change.

which should also explain why the NS port was not affected.

I'm not sure how to proceed.  Probably I'll have to revert that commit
but the consequences are pretty unclear at the moment (at least to me).

Isn't it true that expecting the frame dimensions change immediately
is unreliable?  If so, there's no bug here.

According to Jan "Lisp code that expects resize changes to be handeled
synchronously and in order are fundamentally broken".

 > If so, there's no bug here.

But he also said that ours is "an attempt to be nice to Lisp".

The X port handles this via x_wait_for_event.  IIRC you proposed to do
the same for the w32 port.  Either I try (and it will take some days or
maybe weeks), or you do (and it will take some minutes or maybe hours)
or you tell me what I have to do and we might be able to finish this
task somewhere in between.  How do we proceed?

The only idea I had back then was to wait for 20 msec or such likes.
Trying that should be easy, and should not take days ;-)

Thanks.

Yes.  But the real cause for this bug was plain stupidity.  Sorry for
bothering you.

xg_frame_resized is certainly called from the read_socket_hook
context, and it seems to be a bad idea to call
do_pending_window_change there.  But does that really apply to
x_set_window_size?

Thanks for the kind reminder.  If it weren't for you, I would have
continued to find culprits in all possible directions.

Then, Pip Zeta explicitly wrote

   I think the problem is the call to do_pending_window_change in
   xg_frame_resized in gtkutil.c:

and I apparently decided that it's time to throw out all babies with the
bathwater.

Thanks again, martin

Should be fixed now.  Please consider closing the bug after confirming.

And great many thanks for this report, martin
