Emacs 23.1.93 pretest

Emacs 23.1.93 pretest

[Chong Yidong]

Emacs pretest 23.1.93 is now available for download via FTP, at the
following location:

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-23.1.93.tar.gz

The xdelta against the Emacs 23.1.92 pretest is here:

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-23.1.92-23.1.93.xdelta

This is the fourth pretest for what will be the Emacs 23.2 release.

Developers: as explained in a previous email, in a few days we will cut
the 23.2 branch and open the trunk for Emacs 24 development.  Only
regression bugfixes and documentation changes will be accepted into the
branch.  So consider this the very last call for non-regression fixes:
if there is one that you would like to make, please discuss on
emacs-devel now.

Pretesters: please send me an email reporting success or failure on your
build platform.  Report bugs via M-x report-emacs-bugs, or email
emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org.  For questions, email emacs-devel@gnu.org.

Thanks.

It crashes for me on MS-Windows, while loading my desktop file.  I'm
trying to debug this.

The problem is this line from my desktop file:

  (setq regexp-search-ring '("[^]$" "\\bmac" "\\`n" "\\`m" "\\\\`ma" "\\. [^ ]" "^`" "^\\\\" "/[A-Za-z] " "/. ." " $" "/.*ş" "/.*\naba/f" "^" "/.*H" "[[^ ]*[^]] "))

There's a Latin-2 character `ş' there.  If I delete the "/.*ş" part of
the regexp-search-ring, Emacs starts correctly.  Emacs 23.1.92 loads
the same desktop file without any trouble, so this is a regression.

From this and other symptoms (see below), it looks like the emacs-mule
decoding is broken in this pretest.  For example, visiting the
offending desktop file with the Latin-2 character in place causes many
characters following this Latin-2 character to disappear from display,
as if they didn't exist in the file.  Killing the buffer and visiting
the file again magically restores the characters that disappeared.

I cannot produce a GDB backtrace: I could not find a way of
reproducing the crash under GDB.  All I get is a weird
wrong-type-argument error:

   Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument symbolp (quote ((tab-width . 8) (buffer-file-coding-system . iso-latin-1-unix) (case-fold-search . t))))

But I think this is because the failure to decode the desktop file
correctly causes Emacs to try evaluating a butchered expression.

FWIW, here's the backtrace of the crash produced by Dr MinGW, a GIT
debugger that pops up when Emacs crashes.  Note that it crashes in
decode_coding_emacs_mule, yet another sign that this is the culprit.

    emacs.exe caused an Access Violation at location 0112b000 in module emacs.exe Reading from location 03194000.

Thanks.  I get a similar crash, but it isn't an assert violation.

  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
  0x0118191d in uniscribe_check_otf (font=0x3, otf_spec=44922882)
      at w32uniscribe.c:684
  684         features[1] = XCAR (rest);

otf_spec is nil in my case:

  (gdb) p otf_spec
  $1 = 44922882
  (gdb) xtype
  Lisp_Symbol
  (gdb) xsymbol
  $2 = (struct Lisp_Symbol *) 0x2ad7800
  "nil"

But then how come this defense in uniscribe_check_otf did not catch
it?

  /* Check the spec is in the right format.  */
  if (!CONSP (otf_spec) || Flength (otf_spec) < 3)
    return 0;

Some GC perhaps?

See below for the full backtrace.

Btw, what version of GDB are you using?  It seems like it has some
trouble showing a useful backtrace.  My GDB is 7.0; if you have
anything older, I recommend installing 7.0 from the MinGW site.

Here's my backtrace:

This sounds like a separate problem, though: it did not exist in
revision 99563 (from yesterday's noon [UTC+2]), but exists in the
current revision 99569 and in the pretest.  By contrast, the problem
with emacs-mule decoding exists in both revisions.

Answering my own question here: because otf_spec is a cons cell of the
right length, but it looks not according to what uniscribe_check_otf
expects:

    (gdb) p otf_spec
    $7 = 19320654
    (gdb) xcons
    $8 = (struct Lisp_Cons *) 0x126cf48
    {
      car = 0x2ec7fda,
      u = {
	cdr = 0x2ad7802,
	chain = 0x2ad7802
      }
    }
    (gdb) p otf_spec
    $9 = 19320654
    (gdb) xcdr
    $10 = 0x2ad7802
    (gdb) xcdr
    $11 = 0x0

The change which causes it is this:

Perhaps Handa-san could take a look at this.  The entry you added
seems to violate the doc string of `font-spec', which says:

    `:otf'

    VALUE must be a list (SCRIPT-TAG LANGSYS-TAG GSUB [ GPOS ]) to specify
    required OpenType features.

      SCRIPT-TAG: OpenType script tag symbol (e.g. `deva').
      LANGSYS-TAG: OpenType language system tag symbol,
	 or nil for the default language system.
      GSUB: List of OpenType GSUB feature tag symbols, or nil if none required.
      GPOS: List of OpenType GPOS feature tag symbols, or nil if none required.

Btw, the `:otf' spec does not seem to be documented in the ELisp manual.

Because `Flength (otf_spec) < 3' is bogus.  It should be `XINT (Flength
(otf_spec)) < 3'.

Are you checking in a change? Then could you perhaps tell me so I can
build from the Launchpad mirror when the change has arrived there?

I've just added it to display.texi.

It's unfortunate that the pretest has an easily triggerable crash on
Windows, but that's life.  We should probably have another pretest soon,
for the benefit of Windows testers---let's say Monday, March 8th, a bit
more than a week from now.

I would suggest to wait until the problem with decoding emacs-mule is

Thank you, but I changed the spec to ":otf '(mymr nil nil))"
because the only Burmese OTF font I know is from SIL and it
doesn't contain "LangSys" "brm" nor "GPOS" "liga".

Do you know any Burmese OTF fonts that matche with the spec
"(mymr brm (liga mark))"?

There is another here:

But I don't know which LangSys and GPOS info it contains (I had it
installed while developing the uniscribe backend on Windows, but not on

"bzr bisect" points to this change as the reason for this bug:

    2010-02-05  Chong Yidong  <cyd@stupidchicken.com>

	    * charset.c (load_charset_map_from_file): Allocate large
	    charset_map_entries structure on the heap rather than the stack.
	    (Bug#5526).

The revisions before this change works correctly; all revisions after
it fail as described above.

Any ideas?

Hmm, this is strange.  This change (actually the succeeding 2010-02-06
change to the same place) switches from using alloca to SAFE_ALLOCA
(i.e. malloc, since the desired structure is large).  But the only way I
can see for this code to crash is if load_charset_map somehow makes a
pointer into the allocated structure.  But in that case, the old alloca
case should have crashed too.

If you remove the SAFE_FREE () calls, does that prevent the crash?

Yes, it _is_ weird.  But the effect (see below) does look like we are
freeing memory being used, or maybe overwriting some allocated buffer,
or in some other way thrashing the arena.

> If you remove the SAFE_FREE () calls, does that prevent the crash?

There's only one SAFE_FREE call that I see; if I remove it, temacs
crashes at loadup time, when it loads mule-conf.  So I cannot even get
as far as building Emacs.

Btw, the problem I was trying to reproduce with "bzr bisect" was not a
crash, but rather the fact that visiting an emacs-mule encoded desktop
file with that Latin-2 character in it caused some 15K characters
following the Latin-2 one be overwritten with nulls.  The original
crash somehow happens only when I click on an icon that invokes
runemacs.exe, and I cannot reproduce it with the -Q switch.  But since
both issues seem to be related to decoding emacs-mule, and they both
happen when visiting or loading the .emacs.desktop file, I'm assuming
that these are different manifestations of the same problem.

Sorry yeah---we need the SAFE_FREE call because otherwise the specpdl
gets confused.

How about if you replace the SAFE_ALLOC calls with xmalloc and omit the
free() call at the end?

If I do that, temacs dies during loadup saying it's out of memory:

If that fixes anything then it was already broken before.

Yes, I think it was indeed broken before, and it's probably an accident
that it worked before.  The entries->next pointer needs to be
initialized.  (So we need the patch anyway, and I've checked it in.)

Does it?  AFAICS it is only used when the current table is full, in

Well, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to solve the problem.  And I
agree with Andreas: if this were the reason, Emacs would have needed
an unreasonable amount of luck to work before this change.  I don't
think the stack is zeroed out on Windows; I'm _positive_ it does not
get zeroed out in the MSDOS build (just checked in the DJGPP library
sources to be sure).

I made the following experiment:

  . restore the calls to alloca -- the bug goes away

  . now add an xmalloc call to allocate a `struct charset_map_entries'
    right before alloca and an xfree call to free that memory after
    the call to load_charset_map, without doing anything with the
    allocated buffer in between the calls to xmalloc and to xfree --
    the bug is back!

So I think the change in charset.c itself did not cause the bug, it
just exposed a bug elsewhere, because it reshuffles the heap.

Actually, it turns out it's not ``reshuffling the heap'' that triggers
the bug, but rather the fact that when we call xmalloc, Emacs might
relocate buffer text.

IOW, I found the reason for the bug.  One of the callers of
load_charset_map_from_file maintains pointers into buffer text, so
when that gets relocated, ... you get the idea.

The first naive attempt to solve it was unsuccessful, so there's
probably something else at work here.  Hmm...

Yes, I can, now that I know that myself ;-)

The problem was in two places: in emacs_mule_char and in
decode_coding_emacs_mule (which calls emacs_mule_char).
emacs_mule_char called DECODE_CHAR, which could result in a call to
decode_char, which could call load_charset_map_from_file (through
load_charset).  Both emacs_mule_char and decode_coding_emacs_mule walk
through buffer text with pointers, and those need to be fixed-up after
the call to load_charset_map_from_file.

I replaced the call to DECODE_CHAR with CODING_DECODE_CHAR, which
wraps DECODE_CHAR with code that fixes up the pointers to buffer text
if a charset map was loaded by DECODE_CHAR.  decode_coding_emacs_mule
needed a similar fixup for its own pointers to buffer text.

This is now fixed in the repository.  I think this fixes the original
problem; at least my .emacs.desktop file with a Latin-2 character now
loads correctly, both in the MS-Windows build and in the MS-DOS build.

Perhaps Handa-san could look at the two other callers of DECODE_CHAR
in coding.c, and see if they, too, need to be replaced with
CODING_DECODE_CHAR.

AFAIK load_charset_map does not evaluate anything, but you can check by
binding inhibit_garbage_collection around the call to load_charset_map
and checking if the problem persists.

How's feedback from Windows users working out for ya (and I don't mean just
build reports)? Gettin' any?

There's no 23.1.93 at http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/, even
though that's the advertised purpose of this GNU directory. The last post there
is 23.1.91.

(And no 23.1.93 binary on Lennart's site.)

The latest pretest has a couple of serious bugs on Windows, so IMO there
is little point making the binary for it.

Fair enough. Is there a point in publishing a new release without testing on
Windows, in particular, testing the fixes for those serious bugs?

Or did you plan to publish another pretest with the bugs fixed? That would be
good (normal). That wasn't clear from your mails.

There should be at least two more pretests before the 23.2 release.

It incorrectly renders terminus oblique fonts from Debian distribution
(xfonts-terminus-oblique Debian package):

-xos4-terminus-medium-o-*
-xos4-terminus-bold-o-*

Small example screenshots from emacs 22.2.1 (correct rendering) and
emacs 23.1.93 (wrong rendering) are attached. Please notice how ugly
"Global Mark Ring" looks when rendered by emacs23.

NOTE: emacs 23.1.1 also renders wrong.

Emacs 23.1.93 pretest

[Chong Yidong]

Emacs pretest 23.1.95 is now available for download via FTP, at the
following location:

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-23.1.95.tar.gz

The xdelta against the Emacs 23.1.94 pretest is here:

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-23.1.94-23.1.95.xdelta

This is the sixth pretest for what will be the Emacs 23.2 release.


Pretesters: please send me an email reporting success or failure on your
build platform.  Report bugs via M-x report-emacs-bugs, or email
emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org.  For questions, email emacs-devel@gnu.org.


Note to developers:

The emacs-23 branch is now considered to be in a hard freeze.  If you
want to commit a change that is not a regression against Emacs 23.1,
please check with me or Stefan first (except for documentation changes).

I have marked two regressions against 23.1 (Bug#5754 and Bug#5786) as
"serious" in the bug tracker.  If someone could work on these, I'd
greatly appreciate it.  If you see any other bug that is a regression
against 23.1, please mark it as "serious" too (or email me).

I have downgraded several "serious" bugs that are not regressions
against 23.1 to "important".  Though I do not consider these bugs as
release blockers, it would be nice to have them fixed for the 23.2
release (especially Bug#2056).  So please help if you can.


Thanks.

This should've been fixed as Eli suggested before the pretest:

Um, I'm just havin' a problem applying Juanma's patch with ediff (on MS

alpha.gnu.org.

See my reply on help-emacs-windows: you need to use --binary and force
Unix EOLs on the diffs that you submit to Patch.

Thanks.  Normally, we want the binaries to correspond exactly to the
pretest tarball, but this is an acceptable exception since movemail
doesn't really affect the Windows port.

??? How do you mean ``doesn't really affect''?  The Windows build of
`movemail' is a fully operational program, albeit used mostly in
conjunction with the POP3 interface.

I think #5809 should also be fixed before the release.

This pretest builds okay on the following platforms:

  Linux fencepost 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 13 00:12:41 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    with gcc (GCC) 4.2.4 (Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu4)

  windows32 home-c4e4a596f7 2.5.1 2600 i786-pc Intel unknown MinGW
    with gcc (GCC) 3.4.2 (mingw-special) and MinGW 3.14

  MS-DOS HOME-C4E 5 50 pc unknown
    with gcc.exe (GCC) 3.4.4 and DJGPP v2.03

(The MS-Windows build was patched to fix the movemail link failure,
using the patch installed on the trunk by Juanma.)

RE: Emacs 23.1.93 pretest

[Drew Adams]

Hopefully we'll get a Windows binary for this pretest too, at
http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/.

FYI, the last Windows binary posted does not send bug reports (via
report-emacs-bug) to emacs-pretest. It sends them to bug-gnu-emacs.

Not a bug but maybe a build problem: the info directory in
emacs-23.1.95-bin-i386.zip is almost empty.
