* OS X: C-g does not break out of infinite loop @ 2004-07-14 16:54 John Owens 2004-07-15 13:17 ` Richard Stallman 0 siblings, 1 reply; 6+ messages in thread From: John Owens @ 2004-07-14 16:54 UTC (permalink / raw) When sending a large email via FLIM, I could not break out of the send using C-g. I thought this was a FLIM problem, but Yoichi Nakayama ably identified it as a emacs problem (on OS X specifically). The problem is described in more detail here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.wanderlust.general/632 with Yoichi's response (together with a test case that I can reproduce: C-g on OS X cannot recover from evaling any of the following three: 1. (condition-case nil (while 1) (error (error "catch error")) (quit (error "catch quit"))) 2. (condition-case nil (while 1) (error (error "catch error"))) 3. (while 1) ) at: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.wanderlust.general/635 (He verified this with GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin7.3.0) of 2004-05-08; I also verified it with GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin7.4.0) of 2004-07-07.) He also points out that C-g has had historical problems in OS X: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.macintosh.devel/46 Given that the above message indicates that the 10.2 OS X release allowed support for handling C-g properly, maybe now's a good time to do so?

That problem was mentioned three months ago, but maybe obscured by other urgent problems. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2004-04/msg00783.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2004-04/msg01072.html The attached is a patch for the latest CVS.

I confirm that with the latest CVS, Mitsuharu's patch both fixes all three test cases from Yoichi and also allows me to C-g out of a send. Fantastic! Thanks for the quick patch.

Anyway, I can test with Mac OS X > 10.1.5 if you give me an example that may cause some problems. I missed that explanation during my prolonged illness. It makes sense, given the rewrite of sys_select (Due to the "why didn't i think of that" part of using ReceiveNextEvent with the timeout instead of unnecessary selects). So I guess the only thing I need to keep reverifying after each OS release is the vfork problem. >> However, I will check it in and let the 10.1 people complain because >> the polling appears to work . > Seems like the old patch is applied.

Done. I have noticed that responding to blocked subcommands still takes a second to respond, which seems odd since it should be 200ms.

Have > you noticed this as well? That is what I intended, and normal for the systems where SIGIO can't be used for notification of input events. The documentation of `polling-period' says: *Interval between polling for input during Lisp execution. The reason for polling is to make C-g work to stop a running program. Polling is needed only when using X windows and SIGIO does not work. Polling is automatically disabled in all other cases. During Lisp or synchronous subprocess execution, window events (including keyboard ones) are inspected every `polling-period' (2 by default) seconds. The timeout `200ms' (I think you meant 20ms = 20000ns in mac.c) is just for multiplexing the inspection of window events by ReceiveNextEvent and that of process I/O by select.
