Subject: periodic timers getting wrong next time
Date: Wed, 09 Apr 2008 12:34:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <86myo3tg7q.fsf@macs.hw.ac.uk> (raw)
I just noticed an instance where periodic timers were rescheduled with
the wrong time for their next invocation.
Here is the relevant value of timer-list:
([nil 18428 39853 313921 5 auto-revert-buffers nil nil]
[nil 20359 56576 0 300 desktop-save-timer-function
(periodic)
nil]
[nil 20359 57669 367306 3600 url-cookie-write-file nil nil])
You can see that the next-invocation times of the 2nd and 3rd timers
in the list are more than 4 years in the future.
The second timer is one that I start with this invocation of run-at-time:
(run-at-time t 300 #'desktop-save-timer-function 'periodic)
It should not be possible for the timer running
desktop-save-timer-function to get a next-invocation time further than
5 minutes into the future. Similarly, it should not be possible for
the timer running url-cookie-write-file to get a next-invocation time
further than 1 hour into the future.
No, I do not know how to reproduce this bug.
I hope this report is somehow helpful.
