Subject: bug#35400: 27.0.50; Timers repeated after waking from suspend
Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2019 12:59:42 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <jwvtveowtc1.fsf@iro.umontreal.ca> (raw)
Package: Emacs
Version: 27.0.50
If Emacs is prevented from running for a "long" time (via the `STOP`
signal, C-z, suspend-to-ram, thrashing, you name it), the "missed"
repetitions of timer events all get run when we wake up.
E.g. you can try the following:
% emacs -Q
(run-with-timer 5 5 (lambda () (message "Run at: %s" (format-time-string "%H:%M:%S"))))
C-j
C-x b *Messages* RET
you should see a message emitted every 5 seconds. Then do:
kill -STOP <emacs-pid>
now wait a minute and then
kill -CONT <emacs-pid>
and you should see something like:
Run at: 12:49:40 [7 times]
in the *Messages* buffer, before all the repetitions that couldn't be
run while Emacs was suspended are run when we wake up.
Apparently this is *not* a new behavior (I can reproduce it with
Debian's 26.1) although I only recently started noticing it.
If we decide to consider this a feature (I guess there can be
circumstances where it might make sense, tho I'm not sure those would
really work well with the way we handle timers), I think we should
provide some way for users of timers to indicate whether they want to
use this feature or not (and I think it makes sense to default to not
using this feature).
