helm-locate-library + pattern starting with "j" crashes Emacs #779

Closed vkz closed 9 years ago

vkz commented 9 years ago

Everything is freshly installed from MELPA (Helm version 20141225.14). Doing nothing fancy. Was just trying to locate js2-refactor library. Pattern: refa etc works fine. Any pattern that starts with j like say js2-re flat out crashes Emacs. Always. Tested with my old .emacs.d where I haven't updated any packages for a while and it seems to work just fine (Helm version 20141007).

I have installed from MELPA js2-refactor and tried to reproduce your issue with no success, can you try from ./emacs-helm.sh ?

Thanks.

@thierryvolpiatto reproduced using ./emacs-helm.sh

Since I'm running a GUI app on Mac OS X (official GNU Emacs installed from Homebrew) let's "compare apples with apples" by amending the ./emacs-helm.sh:

replace: EMACS=emacs with: EMACS='open -a Emacs.app -n --args '

and add path to helm to 'load-path explicitly cause changing the executable above messes with the path so the (require 'helm-config) fails. No idea why, I can barely read shell-scripts: (add-to-list 'load-path (file-name-directory "/Users/kozin/.personal_configs/emacs.candidate/elpa/helm-20141225.14/emacs-helm.sh"))

Now running ./emacs-helm.sh as usual will start GUI version of emacs no problem. Helm works as expected in the clean environment, nothing is polluted with custom modifications. M-x helm-locate-library Pattern: j

Emacs stalls for like 3 sec and crashes. I should mention that everything works fine in the non-GUI version, i.e. in the terminal. Very well maybe the case that this should be reported elsewhere. Advice how to proceed? So far the issue's been only with helm-locate-library in GUI app.

I'm running this on: "GNU Emacs 24.4.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin14.0.0, NS apple-appkit-1343.14) of 2014-11-03 on kozin-osx.local"

vkz commented 9 years ago

I should probably stress that it appears to have nothing to do with js2-refactor. I can obviously just avoid using helm-locate-library but hey what if there's a bigger issue. Like said appreciate this maybe worth reporting elsewhere.

thierryvolpiatto commented 9 years ago

Please is there someone on Macosx that can reproduce this bug, I don't see why it would fail with "j" and not another character.

Thanks.

vkz commented 9 years ago

Unfortunately, I have noone around who uses Emacs to try and test this. But I also tried this with an older version of Helm

helm-20141007.2253 works fine helm-20141225.14 crashes

Ran both with their relevant ./emacs-helm.sh in each case. Emacs version stayed the same.

Can you uninstall your helm from melpa and install from git using the make file.

Thanks.

Seems it is really a problem with your emacs, you may have the same problem in other places out of helm. Does setting

(setq max-lisp-eval-depth 40000) (setq max-specpdl-size 100000)

helps?

Reading the definition of gobble_input in keyboard.c, Emacs kills itself because "/* The terminal device terminated; it should be closed. */". Dunno why this happens. I would ask Eli.

tried switching to relevant frames in the stack trace above and getting their arguments and local vars, but unfortunately frame variable wouldn't print anything.

Eli Zaretskii, the Emacs developer. I didn't mean you should contact him ;-)

Is there anything I could do on my side to help debug this further?

Not really. Maybe try to vary your recipe, e.g. try with multiple open frames, or use the character j as second letter of the search string etc.

I still wonder why it is "j" that causes the crash and not any other character.

vkz commented 9 years ago

did try to vary the recipe quite a bit. "j" not in the 1st position etc. Even switched keyboards. So far only the "j" in 1st position seems to crash the app (on both keyboards).

@thierryvolpiatto is probably right in saying that helm-locate-library may not even be at fault here but rather some core-emacs functions that it calls. Emacs has been kinda crashy for me. It's just the first time I'm able to pinpoint and reproduce that moment.

tuhdo commented 9 years ago

Probably you could try Emacs for Mac OS X to see if the problem persists?

thierryvolpiatto commented 9 years ago

BTW the old helm version you used and was not crashing is not probably using fuzzy matching, so after evaling the code below, you should not crash (fuzzy disabled):

(defun helm-locate-library () (interactive) (helm :sources (helm-build-in-buffer-source "Elisp libraries (Scan)" :data (lambda () (helm-locate-library-scan-list)) ;:fuzzy-match t :keymap helm-generic-files-map :match-part (lambda (candidate) (if helm-ff-transformer-show-only-basename (helm-basename candidate) candidate)) :filter-one-by-one (lambda (c) (if helm-ff-transformer-show-only-basename (cons (helm-basename c) c) c)) :action (helm-actions-from-type-file)) :buffer "helm locate library"))

@tuhdo I could and it would maybe solve my problem, but I'd rather go with vanilla Emacs. And if there's indeed a problem with some core emacs functionality, I think devs should know. Crashing editors aren't fun.

@thierryvolpiatto disabling fuzzy, that is rebinding the function as per your advice, doesn't seem to make a difference :(

Huh! so your emacs have a serious problem. Hmm! What I really doesn't understand (as already said) is the "j" problem, why "j" why not "a" or "b" ? And you said also the problem doesn't appear in emacs -nw, right ? Isn't emacs (X) interpreting "j" (or what "j" represent on your keyboard) as some unicode character or something like this (just a thought) ?

Even if you want to use you current emacs, perhaps following the advice of @tuhdo would help (i.e installing temporarily the optimized version of emacs for macosx). Having several versions of emacs installed is not a problem, I can help you to manage this if you want, I have a script to switch to different versions installed.

@vkz But you should try to see if it is a specific problem from a Homebrew build or universal in Mac OS X. If it occurs so frequent, probably other users in Mac OS X would report too.

lewang commented 9 years ago

@vkz Where did you download your Emacs from? Or did you compile it yourself?

vkz commented 9 years ago

@lewang brew install emacs --cocoa --srgb which I think builds from source

@tuhdo tried Emacs for Mac OS X with precisely the same result

@thierryvolpiatto sure, I'd gladly have a look at the script. I juggle a bunch of .emacs.d with symlinks but having ability to easily switch Emacs binaries sounds neat.

I should add that I use Dvorak so the physical key I'm pressing is actually c. But I can't imagine how that could be a problem. I'm using vanilla Dvorak layout that ships with Mac.

Now the same steps don't crash it but it does go into insane mode while in helm-locate-library as in it tries to narrow, takes ages, trying to type any other character echoes nonsense (actually a repeated pattern, see below). Deleting the pattern and typing something else doesn't work. C-g to escape from this command brings Emacs to "normal" but like I mentioned above every char is now prepended with a few others. Here's me trying to type SPACE, a, b, c, d, e etc each on its own line:

I should mention again that all of those Emacs versions seem to work fine with older version of Helm. This is so bizarre -) I think trying to catch what character is being sent in attached debugger is the way forward but I'm unable to get arguments in lldb frames. No idea why.

lewang commented 9 years ago

I followed your repro steps with my own built yamamoto version. Although it did not crash for me, pressing "j" took (4-5 seconds) while pressing "e" responds instantaneously, even though "e" yields many more results.

To use this script you have to install emacs as follow:

Would be great you run your crashing emacs inside gdb, starting emacs from the src/ directory, then running bt and/or xbacktrace would give us precious informations. For more infos on how debugging emacs see M-x view-emacs-debugging (C-h C-d)

I followed your repro steps with my own built yamamoto version. Although it did not crash for me, pressing "j" took (4-5 seconds) while pressing "e" responds instantaneously, even though "e" yields many more results.

Can you figure out why "j" and not "e" ? What describe-char' give on "j" ? Can you try to input "j" usingC-q j' ?

There're and I followed them. For whatever reason the codesigning doesn't seem to work for me. My guess is I need to reboot, which I'd rather avoid for now - too much in the works and it'd be a major disruption. I did however collect the backtrace at crash-site in lldb - see an earlier post above. I doubt GDB would give any more information. Here's a report that OS X generates on crash:

I'll have another go at debugging a bit later.

Yes it will, with xbacktrace if gdb runs in src/. The point is to get detailed infos on all Ffuncall frames.

argh, so far it's been nothing but pain. When run from src/ it wouldn't pick up the symbol table so loading .gdbinit fails. My guess is it expects Emacs built with GCC and particular CFLAGS="-Og -g3". Mine is built with Homebrew defaults therefore CLANG. Tried installing GCC-4.9 and compiling with that but so far it stumbles on what looks like some specific Obj-C stuff:

checking for AppKit/AppKit.h... no
configure: error: `--with-ns' was specified, but the include
  files are missing or cannot be compiled.

I'm re-installing GCC with --all-languages but am not optimistic

vkz commented 9 years ago

@thierryvolpiatto

eval'ing defmacro didn't make any difference. Still crashing on the same input

vkz commented 9 years ago

nah, recompiling GCC-4.9 did not help and building Emacs without --cocoa may not even reproduce this behavior. If anyone knows how to get GCC on a Mac that just works and eats Obj-C stuff that OS X expects it to handle, pls advise. I think XCode installs GCC somewhere but /usr/bin/gcc seems to simply point to clang. Dunno how to proceed unfortunately

vkz commented 9 years ago

so a more general question then is how does one build a standalone GUI Emacs with GCC on a Mac? Ideas?

vkz commented 9 years ago

oh well, building with gcc-4.9 and no --cocoa doesn't compile either. Bunch of errors in the log and seems it expects clang:

conftest.c:31:12: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before string constant
      error "not clang";
            ^

Unless someone more knowledgable can step in and guide me through how to build Emacs with gcc with debug info on a Mac I have to give up for now :(

vkz commented 9 years ago

alright, I managed to build Emacs with nextstep support by pulling official git-repo and basically by temporarily halting I am an idiot mode. I can and do now run Emacs under gdb with .gdbinit and all symbol tables properly loaded (I think). Looking through view-emacs-debugging I couldn't figure a good way of passing control to gdb other than set stop_character = 36. So typing $ halts Emacs and sends me to debugger. Unfortunately, setting br at Fsignal turned out a horrible idea, cause this signal just flies around non-stop. Here's where I'm at having executed helm-locate-library with pattern that starts with j followed by $:

@thierryvolpiatto what should I be looking at? What would you want to see here?

Well the lisp backtrace is quite interesting, I wonder why auto-revert which calls input-pending-p (which can be evil) is running here.

What is the cause of the crash though, just the first lines of gdb when emacs crash.

Did you run xbacktrace to get lisp backtrace ?

doesn't crash under (gdb) just stalls horribly. It does crash not under (gdb) if I type quickly enough.

not specifically, but I see bt is redefined in .gdbinit to autorun xbacktrace

vkz commented 9 years ago

right, definitely wouldn't crash under (gdb) but it freezes for a loooooooong time so any following key-strokes arrive after about a minute. C-g multiple times, more waiting and back to normal. Works fine after that. Doing the entire thing again goes exactly the same way

Grep shows that helm-plugin.el sets (auto-revert-mode 1) if that is of any help.

I also have the following settings loaded:


;; Auto refresh buffers
(global-auto-revert-mode 1)

;; Also auto refresh dired, but be quiet about it
(setq global-auto-revert-non-file-buffers t)
(setq auto-revert-verbose nil)

Not enabled in our case and rarely (never) used anyway.

Without those settings what is happening ?

@vkz I reinstalled my Mac OS X again and upgraded it to Yosemite. While I did have a crash using Emacs for Mac OS X (if you don't know, look it up on Google), using emacs-mac-port, I had no issue. It only had a brief freeze when I jammed many keys at once, but as soon as I pressed C-g, it went back to normal. I suggest you should give emacs-mac-port a try, and install it with brew.

vkz commented 9 years ago

@tuhdo emacs-mac-port crashes immediately as I type "j" when helm-locate-library. I'm officially out of Emacs 24 versions that work :)

tuhdo commented 9 years ago

@vkz Are you sure you ran correct Emacs binary? Someone confirmed it work in this issue: https://github.com/bbatsov/projectile/issues/600 (scroll at the end). After installing emacs-mac-port, you need to run it in /usr/local/Cellar/emacs-mac/emacs-24.4-mac-5.2/bin/, not just emacs in your terminal. If you want to run GUI, make an alias to your Application directory, or use File Inder and browse to there, then double click. The correct version should have GNU buffalo icon, not Emacs icon.

tuhdo commented 9 years ago

@vkz People using Spacemacs also solved this issue with emacs-mac-port. See it here: https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/issues/432.

vkz commented 9 years ago

@tuhdo @thierryvolpiatto oh wow, so it's not just j. Beginning pattern in helm-locate-library with any of these keys crashes Emacs:

Qwerty(physical) -> Dvorak

z -> ; x -> q c -> j

q -> ' w -> , ] -> = = -> ]

And maybe others. Incidentally, I tried switching to Qwerty layout and starting patters with the problematic keys e.g. typing keys ; q j ' , = ] which are obviously different physical keys in Qwerty but have the same key-codes and they do crash Emacs too. Which leads me to believe that it's not a signal problem, not a hardware issue but rather likely something at Elisp level parsing key-codes and crashing on particular key-codes.
