remove leim/leim-list.el for make bootstrap?

[Miles Bader]

I had a problem building emacs because leim/leim-list.el was corrupted
somehow.  It took me a fair bit of time to realize the problem, and
"make bootstrap" didn't help.  The solution I eventually found was
simply to remove the file.  So I wonder, should make bootstrap remove
that file?

Thanks,

-Miles

I had the same problem yesterday, but since the build was running
unattended, I thought it was due to some snafu during generation of
leim-list.el.  Sounds like the reason is deeper than that.  I solved
the problem by removing the file, just as you did.

> So I wonder, should make bootstrap remove that file?

In my case, I didn't need a  bootstrap after removing the file, just
to run "make".  So I'd like to understand the reason for the problem
before we decide how to solve it.  If you managed to figure out the
reason for corruption, could you please explain it?

The coding has changed from iso-2022-7bit to utf-8, but existing
contents were not converted.

Thanks, but there's still something strange here.  First,
leim/Makefile.in removes leim-list.el and then rebuilds it:

    leim-list.el: ${SUBDIRS} ${TIT-MISC} changed.tit changed.misc ${srcdir}/leim-ext.el
	    rm -rf leim-list.el
	    ${RUN-EMACS}  -l ${buildlisppath}/international/quail \
	      -f batch-byte-compile-if-not-done ${TIT-MISC:.elc=.el}
	    if [ x`(cd ${srcdir} && /bin/pwd)` = x`(/bin/pwd)` ] ; then \
	      ${RUN-EMACS} -l ${buildlisppath}/international/quail \
		--eval "(update-leim-list-file \".\")" ; \
	    else \
	      ${RUN-EMACS} -l ${buildlisppath}/international/quail \
		--eval "(update-leim-list-file \".\" \"${srcdir}\")" ; \
	    fi
	    sed -n '/^[^;]/ p' < ${srcdir}/leim-ext.el >> $@

So any existing contents should be gone.

Second, even if leim-list.el would somehow survive from the previous
build, and some of its previous contents would have been left behind
after the following fragment from quail.el removes all of its entries
that have 'quail-use-package in the register-input-method form:

	;; Remove all entries for Quail.
	(while (re-search-forward leim-list-entry-regexp nil 'move)
	  (goto-char (match-beginning 0))
	  (setq pos (point))
	  (condition-case nil
	      (let ((form (read list-buf)))
		(when (equal (nth 3 form) ''quail-use-package)
		  (if (eolp) (forward-line 1))
		  (delete-region pos (point))))

still, writing out of the file, viz.:

    ;; At last, write out LEIM list file.
    (with-current-buffer list-buf
      (let ((coding-system-for-write 'utf-8))
	(save-buffer 0)))

should have encoded anything left in UTF-8, since
quail-update-leim-list-file works on decoded text, not on the original
encoded text as it resides on disk, right?

And the Sed command that appends leim-ext.el to the just-produced
leim-list.el could not be the source of the problem, either, because
Handa-san converted leim-ext.el to UTF-8.

Looks like some bug in `insert', which happens when the buffer from
which the quail-define-package form was read is in iso-2022-7bit and
the buffer into which the text is inserted is also iso-2022-7bit:
could it be that the inserted text is not decoded into the internal
representation, so that encoding it in utf-8 still leaves behind
ISO-2022 escapes?

Indeed, the problem I saw was that the generated file was marked as
"utf-8" but contained iso-2022 encoded text, so there might be something
like that going on.  But `insert' doesn't decode/encode.  OTOH maybe
it's linked to the `charset' text-property we keep on such text to partly
de-unify the CJK chars, so they can be saved back.

OTOH, trying to do such copying (e.g. from lisp/language/chinese.el to
a utf-8 file) doesn't seem to be able to reproduce the bug.

Actually, I think it was the other way around: the generated file had
the iso-2022-7bit coding tag, but included a UTF-8 encoded text from
leim-ext.el.

> But `insert' doesn't decode/encode.

I don't have any real evidence, I was just desperate to provide some
explanation.  I think Andreas found the _real_ reason: a stale
quail.elc.  Although, since Miles said even a bootstrap didn't help,
perhaps there's something else at work here.

Btw, since we remove leim-list.el before updating it, why does
quail-update-leim-list-file works so hard to remove some parts of it,
identify garbled lines, etc.?  Isn't all that just a waste of cycles?

Maybe there were several ways for this transition to wreak havoc:
my broken file clearly had a utf-8 coding tag at the top.

Because quail-update-leim-list-file is designed to be used
even for a non-empty leim-list.el.  That's why its name
contains "update" instead of "create".

I think it can happen that the Emacs that wrote leim-list.el used an
outdated version of international/quail.elc, so the contents were forced
to be written in iso-2022-7bit, although the coding tag already says
utf-8.

Well, quail.el didn't (and doesn't) explicitly modify the coding tag,
so it was rewritten only when the buffer is saved.  But I think you
are right in pointing out the root cause: a stale quail.elc.  What it
caused is that leim-list.el was written out as iso-2022-7bit, but then
portions of leim-ext.el, which was already in UTF-8, were appended to
it, which made the file inconsistently encoded (since Sed just copies
raw bytes).

The coding tag is included in leim-list-header defined in
international/mule-cmds.el, which is preloaded, thus always up-to-date.

This is irrelevant, since the damage has already happend.

You are right.  But then Emacs should have complained, as it always
does when you try to save a buffer with encoding that goes against the
coding tag.  Why didn't it?

quail-update-leim-list-file (quail.el) does modify the
coding tag as this:

      ;; Insert the correct header.
      (if (looking-at (regexp-quote leim-list-header))
	  (goto-char (match-end 0))
	(insert leim-list-header))

Here, leim-list-header is defined in mule-cmds.el, and was
changed to contain utf-8 coding tag.

Yes, but if quail.elc is from an old quail.el, then it also did this:

    (with-current-buffer list-buf
      (setq buffer-file-coding-system 'iso-2022-7bit)
      (save-buffer 0))

And if the coding tag says utf-8, I'd expect this to produce a warning
due to mismatch.

In such a case, the buffer is saved by utf-8 without
warning.  There were discussions about what to do in such a
case, and I think the conclusion was the current behavior
(perhaps to issue warning only when a coding system in
coding-tag can't encode the buffer and some other coding
system is selected).

I can't reproduce that problem.  To confirm what is wrong, I
did this:

% mkdir tmp
% cd tmp
## Checkout the version before I changed encoding of leim-list.el.
% cvs co -D 2009-03-18 emacs
% cd emacs
% configure
% make
## At this time, leim-list.el is in iso-2022-7bit
## Now update the working directory to the latest version.
% cvs update -AdP
% make
## Now leim-list.el is correctly build with utf-8 encoding.

So, I see no problem?!?

This couldn't be the reason, because I do NOT use a separate build

Check the time stamps of quail.el and quail.elc against the time when
leim-list.el was built.  The situation in which the problem happens
should use an old quail.elc that still uses iso-2022, but new
leim-ext.el and mule-cmds.el which are already switched to utf-8.

It seems that such a situation doesn't happen with the
normal building sequence as above.

<Shrug> I guess we can close the issue, then.

"make bootstrap" worked for me.  And it seems that this only depends on
emacs/Makefile.in and emacs/leim/Makefile.in (together they cause "make
bootstrap" to remove leim/leim-list.el) neither of which have been
changed recently.
