Unwanted undo-boundary

Unwanted undo-boundary

[Lennart Borgman]

I just got a bug report saying that a single indent-region in mumamo
can't be undone with a single undo command. (This is with the latest
nXhtml beta and I can confirm it with an Emacs from 2010-02-03.)

I assume this means that something is calling undo-boundary, but I
can't find out what. There is nothing in nXhtml that does it. (Yes,
one function does, but it is not involved here.) I tried to trace
undo-boundary, but I get no hit.

Does anyone have a good idea for how to find out what is happening? Am
I wrong assuming that undo-boundary have been called (implicitly or
explicitly)?

I have not done that (yet), but looking at the where Fundo_boundary is
called I see that there is a check like this

 if (current_buffer != last_undo_buffer)
    Fundo_boundary ();
  last_undo_buffer = current_buffer;

in some places. In my case changes in two buffers are involved. (One
is just to figure out the indentation.)


I just did a fresh checkout and tried "gdb emacs" but got:

  .gdbinit:23: Error in sourced command file:
  No symbol table is loaded.  Use the "file" command.

Is this expected? For configure I have used (on w32):

    cmd /c configure --with-gcc --no-opt --cflags -Ic:/g/include
--cflags -fno-crossjumping

No.  Does it help to say "gdb emacs.exe" instead?  (Btw, I assume you
actually did something like "gdb /path/to/emacs.exe", like, for
example, "gdb ./oo-spd/i386/emacs", because normally emacs.exe is not
in the src subdirectory, where you find .gdbinit.)

No, I just did what etc/DEBUG says which is

   dbg emacs

Since I do these things so seldom I am dependent on that this is correct.

I just tried

   dbg PATH-TO/emacs.exe

and got

Get a newer port of GDB.  Evidently, the one you have does not support
DWARF-2 debug info on Windows.  You can find GDB 7.0 on the MinGW
site.

Thanks Eli, worked much better. (Are you following gdb development
since you knew what DWARF-2 debug info is?)

Looks like I need some more hand-helding. I put a breakpoint here

    (gdb) b Fundo_boundary

and executed in Emacs

    M-: (indent-region 1 (point-max))

and then called xbacktrace at each stop at Fundo_boundary. There were
five lines in the region and on each of them Fundo_boundary was called
but I do not understand how. I thought xbacktrace should give me
information about it, but it does not seem to do that as far as I can
see. So I guess I have to call bt instead, or?

The xbacktrace:s are here, just in case I misunderstand this:

The bt backtrace looks more useful. It looks like the undo boundaries
are coming from sequences like this:

I do not really understand the intended behaviour for Emacs here, but
in the case of nXhtml I fixed this by disabling undo in the other
buffer involved. (It should have been disabled before, but I forgot to
do it.)

As you discovered, you need both bt and xbacktrace.  (Actually, bt
should invoke xbacktrace automatically for you.)

Yes.  See also nt/configure.bat: we switched to using DWARF-2 debug
info in Emacs 23.1, because that gives the debugger more information.
