# Description of the bug I've attached a file named "main.py". I've tried opening it with "emacs -Q main.py" in a tty and Emacs infinitely loads. # Reproducing the bug 1. Open the file I've attached in this message with "emacs -Q main.py". At this point, Emacs will infinitely load (at least that's what I can infer since I waited 30 seconds and then decided to kill the process) # Additional information I noticed a sudden increase in the usage of my CPU (because of the sound that my computer produced), so I executed the following command to see which processes were using more CPU resources. ``` $ watch -n 0.5 -d "ps -e -o tname,pid,%cpu,args | sort -nk3 | tail" ``` The following are the three last lines of the command that is being watched. ``` pts/0 15153 6.9 /usr/lib/firefox/firefox ? 14687 8.4 emacs --daemon -f exwm-enable tty4 39122 98.5 emacs -Q main.py ``` As you can see above, the Emacs process that is opening that file is using the most of the CPU. It's worth mentioning that the attached file is a simplified version of the file that I was editing. When I first found this bug, I was editing a .py file with more lines and I found this infinite loading when I executed M-x occur and searched for any string. Fortunately, I was able to cancel the infinite loading with C-g, so I used the profiler-* functions to see what was causing this unexpected behavior. The attached files named profiler-report-cpu.txt and profiler-report-memory.txt contain the output of profiler-report. As you can see in the output of those reports, syntax-ppss is the last function that is shown as a function that is using more than 80% of memory and CPU. Recall that I mentioned that I pressed C-g to cancel the infinite loading, that's the reason why other functions are shown below with 0% usage of cpu and memory. # System information I'm using Emacs 28.2 in Arch Linux (see proof below). ``` $ emacs --version GNU Emacs 28.2 Copyright (C) 2022 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
