Hi,

Original report:
https://orgmode.org/list/25520.20685.583180.776610@gargle.gargle.HOWL

I am not sure if it is Emacs bug, but I have difficulty understanding
the origin of the following error:

1. Create /tmp/bug.org with the following contents

* h1
** h2

2. emacs -Q /tmp/bug.org
3. Move point to h2
4. M-x org-promote-subtree
5. M-x undo
6. Observe "Changes to be undone by function different from announced" error

The functions in question are below and I fail to see anything that may
be wrong there.

(defun org-promote-subtree ()
  "Promote the entire subtree.
See also `org-promote'."
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (org-back-to-heading t)
    (combine-change-calls (point) (save-excursion (org-end-of-subtree t))
      (org-with-limited-levels (org-map-tree 'org-promote))))
  (org-fix-position-after-promote))

(defun org-promote ()
  "Promote the current heading higher up the tree."
  (org-with-wide-buffer
   (org-back-to-heading t)
   (let* ((after-change-functions (remq 'flyspell-after-change-function
					after-change-functions))
	  (level (save-match-data (funcall outline-level)))
	  (up-head (concat (make-string (org-get-valid-level level -1) ?*) " "))
	  (diff (abs (- level (length up-head) -1))))
     (cond
      ((and (= level 1) org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree)
       (replace-match "# " nil t))
      ((= level 1)
       (user-error "Cannot promote to level 0.  UNDO to recover if necessary"))
      (t (replace-match (apply #'propertize up-head (text-properties-at (match-beginning 0))) t)))
     (unless (= level 1)
       (when org-auto-align-tags (org-align-tags))
       (when org-adapt-indentation (org-fixup-indentation (- diff))))
     (run-hooks 'org-after-promote-entry-hook))))

The error message text is confusing, what it wants to say is this:

  Changes undone by a function are different from the announced ones

The problem is here:

                   (apply fun args) ;; Use `save-current-buffer'?
                   ;; Check that the function did what the entry
                   ;; said it would do.
                   (unless (and (= start start-mark)
                                (= (+ delta end) end-mark))  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
                     (error "Changes to be undone by function different from announced"))

After re-inserting the deleted string "** " with its face information,
'end-marker' is shifted by 3 position, and is now at buffer position
13, whereas 'end' is still 10 and 'delta' is 1, so their sum is 11.

Also note that if you begin from an empty Org buffer and insert the
initial text "* h1\n** h2\n", and then run the recipe, the problem
doesn't happen, because the "* " part is deleted before "apply fun"
returns, and then 'end-mark' is in its expected position 11.

Adding Stefan, in case how might have ideas for what is wrong here.

This problem exists also in Emacs 29.

The culprit is 85e0a69567 (in the Org repository), and the bug is fixed 
by:

diff --git a/lisp/org.el b/lisp/org.el

Perhaps another better fix exists.  If it's an Emacs bug, which is 
possible, it's in combine-change-calls.

A few more details on the bug.  It's still unclear to me whether the bug 
is in Org or in Emacs.

When the file is opened we start with buffer-undo-list = nil.

The (org-with-limited-levels (org-map-tree 'org-promote)) body in 
org-promote-subtree, called inside a combine-change-calls, adds four 
entries to buffer-undo-list:

("** " . 6) <timestamp> (9 . 11) <timestamp>

which means that three characters have been removed and two have been 
added in the buffer, which seems correct, although the (9 . 11) entry 
looks a bit suspicious.  Perhaps (6 . 8) would have been expected there? 
However, this change does not happen outside the region on which 
combine-change-calls is called, which is 6-11.

Upon returning from combine-change-calls, buffer-undo-list contains four 
elements, when a single element would have been expected, if I understand 
its docstring correctly:

(apply 1 6 10 #'undo--wrap-and-run-primitive-undo 6 10 (("** " . 6))) <timestamp> (9 . 11) <timestamp>

Unfortunately, `combine-change-calls' is there for a reason.
Heading manipulation involves adding/removing stars. When done in batch,
this involves drastic AST changes. `combine-change-calls' here is used to
merge AST cache modifications into a single update request. It makes
orders of magnitudes performance improvement in some scenarios.

The actual function doing the work is

(replace-match (apply #'propertize up-head (text-properties-at (match-beginning 0))) t)

The match is "** " and the replacement is "* ".

It turns out that the bug is indeed not in Org, but in Emacs.  The part of 
combine-change-call which creates the undo-list element was totally 
broken.  For example, with a buffer-undo-list like

<undo element 1> <timestamp> <undo element 2> <timestamp> nil <undo element 3>

ofter body has been evaluated, the buffer-undo-list after 
combine-change-call is

(apply ... #'undo--wrap-and-run-primitive-undo ... (<undo element 1>)) <timestamp>  <undo element 2> <timestamp> nil <undo element 3>

which is clearly wrong, because <undo element 1> and <undo element 2> 
should be considered as a single undo step.  IOW, after 
combine-change-call buffer-undo-list should be:

(apply ... #'undo--wrap-and-run-primitive-undo ... (<undo element 1> <undo element 2>)) nil <undo element 3>

Patch attached.

Hmm... scary, even if this is intended for the master branch.  Could
you at least keep the few comments which were in the original code,
and perhaps also add comments explaining all those tricky tests with
consp, equality to t and to old-bul, the significance of (car ptr) and
(caar ptr), etc.?  This would make the code more maintainer-friendly,
as the need to constantly consult the spec of the various undo-list
elements (and hope the spec is complete and accurate ;-) would be
avoided.

I'd prefer to fix this in Emacs 29 if feasible, but unless the changes
are much simpler and/or more clearly documented, so that it becomes
possible to assess their risks, I don't see how that could happen.

I presume that all the undo tests we have still pass?  If so, how
about adding a test for this bug?

Thanks.

Is the attached patch better in that respect?

I don't see how the changes could be made simpler, sorry, but now they are 
documented.  Feel free to ask further questions if something is still 
unclear.

They do.

I'll see if I can do that, but it seems tricky.

To some extent, yes.  But there's too much of comments that just say
what the code does without explaining.  So let me ask some questions
instead:

> -			      ;; In case garbage collection has removed OLD-BUL.
> -			      (cdr ptr)

Why should we toss this precaution?

> -		  (unless (cdr ptr)
> -		    (message "combine-change-calls: buffer-undo-list broken"))

And this one?

So basically you are saying that the current code stops too early and
doesn't collect all the undo entries that need to be combined, because
timestamp entries get in the way, is that right?

Here you go.  Without the patch tests 2 and 3 fail, with the patch all 
three tests pass.

Yes.  The current code apparently meant to skip these entries, but it does 
not work at all.  Replacing a broken code that does not work with a 
clean(er) code that does work seems the right thing.

Indeed.  Which begs the question: why does the current code stop when it
sees a timestamp?

Alan?  Do you remember why you did that?
What would go wrong if we applied a patch like the one below?

With that patch, the "combine-change-calls: buffer-undo-list broken" 
message would be displayed with the recipe of this bug report.  And 
timestamp entries would be added to what is "body-undo-list" in my patch. 
It's not clear to me that this could cause problems, but I guess it's 
safer to not include them, given that they were never included, and that 
the intention of the original code was to exclude them.

Yet you happily threw it away :-(

`garbage-collect` does a bit more than collect garbage.
It also truncates undo lists among other things.

AFAICT it warns when the GC's truncation has thrown stuff away (in which
case there's a good chance the `apply` element we're building is
incorrect).

But indeed, it probably misfires if `buffer-undo-list` is nil initially.

FWIW, I don't see what's cleaner about the new code.
Don't get me wrong: it's not worse either.  The two look
pretty much equivalent to me (well, the layout and ordering is different
and your code builds a new list where the old code reuses the old list
elements, but these are details that don't make much difference to
neither the complexity nor the size of the code, from where I stand).

Also, I agree that it's arguably easier/cleaner to install your change
(which drops timestamp entries instead of exiting the loop at the first
such entry) into your version of the code than into the current one (see
patch below for my attempt to do that).

But I don't understand why we should drop timestamp entries at all, so
I'd first like to hear if Alan has an explanation for his choice to stop
at timestamp entries: he presumably went to the trouble to write that
extra code for a good reason.

IIUC this is a separate issue which is fairly easy to fix (and doesn't
need to be fixed on `emacs-29`) with something like the patch below.

AFAICT when they were not included, they resulted in a broken undo
entry (as evidenced by the current bug report), so anything we do in
their presence is "safer" than what we did before :-)

Let's wait to see what Alan has to say,

Because there are no such precautions elsewhere in the code, and the 
comment above ("In case garbage collection has removed OLD-BUL") does not 
explain what its purpose is.  A few lines below, old-bul is used without 
such a precaution.  Of course, if it has a purpose, it's okay to keep it.

Aha.  So this means that garbage-collect could be called between (funcall 
body) and the (while ...) loop two lines below, and could have removed 
elements that were added to buffer-undo-list by (funcall body), right? 
If so, that's what the comment should have said.

Given what you write above, that's probably what it meant to do indeed. 
But it also warns when buffer-undo-list is initially nil, such as with the 
recipe of this bug report.  If adding such a warning is useful, we should 
check whether old-bul was initially non-nil.

It took me a half hour to figure out what the original code was doing with 
this 'ap-elt' to which 'buffer-undo-list' is added, and subsequenty 
modified by the loop below, which does not refer to buffer-undo-list, and 
which also updates 'old-bul' in an unclear way.  I'm biased of course, but 
I think I would have understood the code in my patch much easier: it does 
one thing (adding the new undo element) after the other (building the list 
included in that undo element).

I didn't remember the main reason why I removed that (cdr ptr).  The 
reason is not only that the comment above it is wrong, but also that this 
(cdr ptr) condition itself is wrong: it makes that loop stop when the last 
element of the buffer-undo-list is reached.  When buffer-undo-list is 
initially nil, (funcall body) adds a number of entries in 
buffer-undo-list, and there is no reason to exit that loop without 
processing its last element.

I think for your loop you'd need to check `ptr` instead of (cdr
ptr), indeed.  For the loop currently in `subr.el` I think the (cdr ptr)
is OK because we use the `setcdr` to truncate the list, so that last
cons (whose `cdr` may be nil) will be in the list included in the
(apply ....) entry.

Indeed, now I see it, and I think (without being 100% sure) that it's OK. 
It's yet another obscure point of the original code, though.

Another data point, about the risk assessment aspect: this function is not 
used by any package on ELPA, and in core it is only used by Org (with 
which this bug was identified), newcomment.el (2 uses) and dired (a single 
use, in which the code is in fact bypassed because buffer-undo-list is 
let-bound to t in the body).

I hope all these revelations will find their way into comments to this
tricky code.

Well, I hope this tricky code will be replaced by the non-tricky code I 
proposed, in which none of these obscurities exist... ;-)

Which version of Org? the one that's on the release branch or a newer
one?

All versions or Org, including the one that's on the release branch.  The 
calls to combine-change-call were added to Org on Oct 16 2021 by 
85e0a69567 (in the Org repository).

My hope is that we can just remove the timestamp special case, in which
case we can keep the current code mostly unchanged.

Then our hopes are different.  What's wrong exactly with replacing a piece 
of code that requires a long discussion with question marks everywhere to 
be understood by a piece of well-documented code that is much more 
readable and "evidently" does what it is supposed to do?

The old code was working for quite a few years, so it isn't all wrong.
Minimizing changes also minimizes the risk of introducing new exciting
bugs.  For a release branch, both these aspects are a clear win.

Why do you object so much to leaving the timestamps in the undo-list?

It has only a few callers.  In fact, its only callers for a long time have 
been (1) comment-region-default and uncomment-region-default, which, by 
chance, do not insert timestamps between the undo elements, and (2) 
dired-readin in which (as I said upthread) this part of the function is 
simply not executed because buffer-undo-list is let-bound to t around 
body.  In effect, the first caller that actually exercises its logic in 
full is Org.

I do not object to leaving timestamps in the undo-list, I object to 
leaving the code in the state it is, because I think of the future person 
who will try to make sense of it in 2028.  I'm equally fine with the two 
attached patches, one in which timestamps are kept an the other in which 
they aren't.

And now I believe it's better if I bow out of this thread, and let you and 
Stefan decide what the best course of action is.

I'm afraid not.  On 2018-04-01, I noted down that timestamps get "caught
up inside the undo--wrap-and-run-primitive-undo entry.".  But I neglected
to be more specific, and can no longer remember exactly why.

I don't know.  Possibly nothing.  Maybe the problem that that code was
meant to solve was also solved by some other code.

Thanks.  So maybe we should strip timestamps on the release branch
(just to be on the safe side) and keep them on `master` (since it's
likely that we don't need to filter them out, which gives simpler code
and might even be arguably more correct).

On `emacs-29` the patch I suggest is:

diff --git a/lisp/subr.el b/lisp/subr.el
index 62f72734e14..34dd847e9d5 100644

 		  (unless (cdr ptr)
 		    (message "combine-change-calls: buffer-undo-list broken"))
 		  (setcdr ptr nil)

I think it's the simplest&safest change to the code that fixes this bug.
[ Of course, it should be accompanied by Gregory's tests.  ]

Then on master I suggest:

diff --git a/lisp/subr.el b/lisp/subr.el

 		  (setcdr buffer-undo-list old-bul)))))

We could also use Gregory's code on `master`.  Obviously Gregory prefers
it, tho it's marginally less efficient since it creates a new list
instead of re-using the list elements already present.

Hi all,

I'm reopening this bug because the fix has introduced a new problem.

This can be highlighted with the following procedure (verified with
Emacs 29.0.92) :
1. Open a file: emacs -Q <file>
2. Move point to a line you can comment
3. M-x comment-line
4. M-x undo
5. Check buffer modification status in modeline or use (buffer-
modified-p)

Without the patched version of combine-change-calls-1, the buffer
status is "not modified since last save". Same result if you use
another command, for example kill-line,  at step 2.
With new version of combine-change-calls-1, the buffer is seen as
modified.

I'm not sure but I imagine it has something to do with the lack of
timestamp in buffer-undo-list created by combine-change-calls-1.

FYI, that issue is fixed with the Fix-combine-change-call-with-timestamps 
patch.

Oh, but I don't think this is OK for the `emacs-29` branch, so we still
need a more targetted fix for the `emacs-29` branch.

Well, that bug was already discussed at length six months ago, and the 
minimal change that was in the end installed (59c3c53efa) introduced a new 
bug.  Should we design another minimal change, at the risk of introducing 
another bug?  ISTM that the safe thing to do is the refactoring that was 
suggested.

If there's no safer way than the refactoring suggested back then, we
will have to stay with this regression in Emacs 29.1 and install a
better fix only on master.  After all, the fact that buffer-modified-p
is not undone is a minor inconvenience at best.

I'm sorry, but I cannot wait too much time longer before the release.
The Emacs 29.1 release cycle already took significantly longer than I
ever imagined.  So if someone can think about some clever ideas to fix
what we have on the release branch by small and safe changes, please
speak up soon.

Indeed.  A safer way probably exists, but I would not dare writing that 
patch.  I believe Stefan is in a better position to write it.

How about installing your patch, which you proposed back then, on
master, then?

Incidentally, this bug has an easy reproduction in emacs -Q on Emacs 29
and before:

(with-temp-buffer
  (insert "foo")
  (setq-local buffer-undo-list nil
              comment-start    ";")
  (comment-line 1))

which produces the "combine-change-calls: buffer-undo-list broken"
warning.  This is easy to trigger in practice: simply open a file
already containing text, and comment a line as your first action.

Anyway, this was also fixed by Stefan's change 977630b5285809a57e50,
* lisp/subr.el (combine-change-calls-1): Fix bug#60467

(I send this email just because I spent some time tracking this down
only to find it was already fixed.  Maybe my smallish reproducer will
somehow be helpful to someone...)

It's not clear to me what you want: do you want to fix this issue on the 
emacs-29 branch or on the master branch?  We now have two bug reports on 
this (the one by Frédéric Giquel in this bug, and the one by Eason Huang 
in bug#64989).  I just verified (again) that the 
Fix-combine-change-call-with-timestamps patch fixes these two recipes.

I suggested to install your fix on master.

If bug#64989 could be fixed by a simpler, safer change (which remains
to be seen), we might do that on emacs-29.  If not, at least we will
have this fixed in Emacs 30.

Thanks.

Okay, but see below.

Bug#64989 is the same bug, only the recipe differs.  And the change I 
suggested six months ago is safe, it replaces an obscure and bugged piece 
of code with a refactored and clear piece of code.  I attach it again 
(that patch is for emacs-29, the one for master would be similar).

If Stefan (or anyone else) fixes the bug in a safer way, that patch is not 
necessary.

I was waiting for your and Stefan's comments.  Now done (d622602452), and 
closing this bug (again?).
