Esup end of file error

[jschaf]

It errors out on https://github.com/dertuxmalwieder/My-Emacs-config/blob/master/.emacs

Reported by http://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/32oufa/emacs_245_startup_time/

[dertuxmalwieder]

Additional info: It fails on 25.0.x, but still this shouldn't be the reason for this error.

[jschaf]

I'm not sure, https://github.com/jschaf/esup/issues/20 is the exact same problem on Emacs 25

[dertuxmalwieder]

Oh, OK. So it's not me. :-)

[joedicastro]

I have the same problem, 24.5.1 version here.

[jschaf]

Does it consistently fail? I'm having trouble reproducing it now.

[dertuxmalwieder]

It seems to work on Mac OS X. I reported the bug with the Windows build.

[joedicastro]

In my case, yes, fails always I use an Emacs 24.5.1 in Arch Linux with a 64bits kernel (3.19.3).

[jschaf]

I pushed a fix for whitespace. Can you all see if it resolved your issues?

If it does still error out please post the contents of *esup-log*. It probably won't appear by default, but it does exist.

[joedicastro]

I still have the problem, but this time I have also the diagnostic.

This is the *Messages* buffer in the esup child client:

esup-child-profile-sexp: End of file during parsing

The process alwasys stop (in my case) when the esup child process try to load the diminish.elc byte-compiled file of the diminish package. If I delete that .elc file all works fine again. I hope that helps you. To me seems a clear problem with the parser.

[jschaf]

Okay, it looks like a problem with .elc files. I haven't really tested parsing against them, so I'll take a look at that.

[manuel-uberti]

Any news on this one? Still not working for me on Emacs 25.0.50.1, it stops at diminish.elc

[jschaf]

I have it on my todo list. Work has been kinda crazy. I'll take another look tonight.

[immerrr]

Same here, chokes on diminish.elc. Any luck with the issue?

[jschaf]

I have a hunch that the issue is forward-sexp on byte-code. I'll add some tests to see if I can narrow the issue.

[manuel-uberti]

Thanks.

[dotmilk]

Any word on this? I just ran in to it.

[jschaf]

Are you on the latest version? I think disabling debugging in https://github.com/jschaf/esup/commit/1b17a0f23b7044484061e5b52f246939c68181d8 might have fixed it, but I haven't tested it.

[dotmilk]

@jschaf 20160716.23 freshly installed same EOF on diminish

[jschaf]

Sorry, been busy at work. I'll see if I can narrow it down tonight.

[jschaf]

Pretty sure I found the bug.

(defvar ahhhhhhhhhhh "%" (#$ . 1))

My parsing logic looks like it fails on percent signs. Probably interacting weirdly with format. Should have a fix in the next few days.

[jschaf]

The percent sign was a red herring. It was me not skipping dynamic docstrings at the beginning of a .elc file. I can parse diminish.elc now.

Should be fixed in https://github.com/jschaf/esup/commit/4028431ad3f9d6682b9afb6888d678b56617e5f4.

Let me know if it works for you.

[dotmilk]

@jschaf Works wonderfully. Thank you.

[jschaf]

Sweet, glad it works. Only took a year and some change, but I think we're good to close this.
