* bug#44100: 26.3; ERC: Make IBuffer custom display work again

Applies to 26.3, but also all more recent versions as well.

Bug trigger:
1. Load ERC (e.g., open some IRC connection).
2. Launch ibuffer (e.g., type "M-x ibuffer").
3. Switch formats three times (e.g., type "`" three times).
4. You get this error: (wrong-type-argument listp erc-notice-face) and
the buffer is only partly filled, and then cannot be updated.

Root cause:
erc-ibuffer assumes (in (define-ibuffer-column erc-modified ...) form)
that erc-modified-channels-alist is an alist whose values are proper
lists, whereas they are dotted lists.

Patch:
To be attached shortly after bug creation.

This looks fine to me.  Adding Amin and CC to the erc mailing list.
TIA for review and comments!

Thanks for your Patch, Olivier; and thanks for the ping, Corwin.

I tried, but could not reproduce the error on Emacs trunk (from latest
git `master').  I will try with earlier versions, but it may be another
couple of days before I get to it.

Corwin, were you able to reproduce this?

Also, according to CONTRIBUTE [0] the ChangeLog files should not be
edited manually, and instead changes should be announced in the etc/NEWS
file, under the relevant section.

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 578 bytes --]

Hello again,

I did some more investigation, and was able to reproduce the issue.

However, I came up with a potentially more proper different fix: I think
the presence of the dotted pair with a non-nil cdr is the main problem,
since it means `erc-modified-channels-alist' does not fully adhere to
the documented structure in its docstring.  So I addressed the issue in
`erc-track-modified-channels' by wrapping up single faces in lists too,
ensuring that `erc-modified-channels-alist' never ends in a non-nil cdr.

Something along the lines of the following patch.  Thoughts?

Normalising to having a list of faces here sounds like a good idea, if
I'm skimming the code correctly, but it would probably help
comprehension a bit here if you renamed the parameter from `erc-face' to
something like `face-list'.

Thanks.  However, after staring at C-h f erc-track-find-face RET for a
good while and experimenting in Edebug a fair bit, I have noticed that
my change to C-h f erc-track-modified-channels RET for normalizing to
always have a list breaks erc-track-find-face's algorithm in a
non-trivial way, due its dependence on the structure of the two
C-h v erc-track-faces-priority-list RET and
C-h v erc-track-faces-normal-list RET lists.

Since for the time being I don't have the time or energy to rethink
those two functions' algorithms to work with a normalized list of lists
for those two variables, I have decided to keep things as they are, and
do the less evasive change in erc-ibuffer as suggested by Olivier to fix
erc-ibuffer.  I will commit that change over the few days, and will also
try to clarify the docstring for C-h v erc-modified-channels-alist RET
some more to more accurately describe its structure.

I welcome anyone who would like to volunteer to send a patch for
updating those functions to work with a normalized list of lists for
those two variables, granted they can provide a convincing argument that
their change is correct and does not break the current behaviour, does
not dramatically further increase the complexity of the algorithms, and
is ideally backward compatible with the current non-normalized structure
of those two variables as well.

Hello Amin,

Sorry for the late reply, I missed these mails in a flood of other mails.

And sorry as well for the ChangeLog entry, I had read CONTRIBUTE, but mixed 
things up (there is a section explaining how to generate change log entries in 
Emacs afterwards, and I forgot the earlier advice).

I'll have a look at this next week.

Ah :-).  No worries; I thought I'd point out CONTRIBUTE just in case
you'd missed it.

Sounds good, thanks!  Please keep us updated on how it goes.

Also, since implementing this will likely cross the ~15 line triviality
threshold, I sent you a copy of the copyright assignment request form
off-list, which you would fill out and send to the copyright clerk to
start the process of assigning the copyright for your changes to Emacs
to the FSF.

Thanks,
amin

Amin, Olivier's paperwork is now complete, so could you look at the
following four patches from Olivier and review (and possibly apply)?

Thanks, Lars.  I will indeed be reviewing/applying Olivier's patches

Patch slightly edited (commit message) and rebased on top of a recent 
'master'. Ready to apply. Easy to backport to 27 as well.

Subject: [PATCH] ERC: Unbreak ERC's IBuffer's custom displays (Bug#44100)

* lisp/erc/erc-ibuffer.el (erc-modified): Don't use `length' on dotted
lists (and not even to test if there is more than one element, for
that matter).  Use `cdr' instead.

For the record, an extract of a private exchange with Amin on the change he 
proposed earlier in this bug (Bug#44100).

I made these changes public a while ago in Bug#46775.

I hope you are all well, and my apologies for the long delay on this.

I went ahead and applied your updated patch to 'emacs-27' with a small
wording tweak and merged that into 'master' as well.  I'll also get to
your other patches over the next few days.

Thanks again,
amin
