Ooops, i see that the formatting of my last email got messed up because
it includes some form-feeds (^L). Here is the same message again
without evil form-feeds :)
Hi again,
I tried again this time with the TAGS of Emacs itself (emacs/src/TAGS).
And like you have already established the problem does not occur in this
scenario. It does occur with other valid TAGS files, though.
After a little bit of tracing i think the difference that matters is
that emacs/src/TAGS includes two other TAGS file in the very last lines:
^L
../lisp/TAGS,include
^L
../lwlib/TAGS,include
I was not aware of this feature with TAGS files including other TAGS
files before but after invoking xref-find-definitions emacs is visiting
all 3 TAGS files (src/TAGS, lisp/TAGS and lwlib/TAGS). And
xref-find-definitions loops through them all.
If these last lines in emacs/src/TAGS are deleted the problem occurs.
It also occur with other simple TAGS files that do not include other
TAGS files. And the TAGS file i was using when observing the problem
the first time was this kind of simple TAGS file.
Same in master and emacs-25.
Regards,
/Johan
