Date: Sun, 28 Jun 1998 18:39:16 -0400 Organization: MindSpring Enterprises Lines: 53 Message-ID: NNTP-Posting-Host: user-38ldeph.dialup.mindspring.com To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com DJ-Gateway: from newsgroup comp.os.msdos.djgpp Precedence: bulk I believe I have encountered a bug in Emacs 19.34. Under certain circumstances, after executing "next-error" (C-x C-~) in a compilation-mode buffer, emacs crashes. Under DOS, it immediately crashes with a general protection fault. Under Windows, it continues running - but totally erratic. I have had no problems with emacs, or compiling with it till now. At the end of this posting, before the sig, are two compilation buffers that I saved. The buffers have no (compiler) error - Emacs reports it as so...but the instant it does it crashes. One always produces the crash (compilationX). The other never does (compilation). The difference is only one extra include directive in the compiler invocation. To reproduce the crash: Load the file into Emacs (compilation or compilationX), set the buffer mode to 'compilation-mode', execute "next-error." ***** begin file compilation ***** cd ~/game/editor/ imake -k ed_sng.o gcc -c -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes - Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror -ansi -pedantic - Ic:/xdev/system/generic_inc/ -Ic:/xdev/modules/objectpile/ - Ic:/xdev/modules/polygon2d/ ed_sng.c -o obj/ed_sng.o C:\xdev\game\editor> Compilation finished at Sun Jun 28 16:40:49 ********************************** ***** begin file compilationX ***** cd ~/game/editor/ imake -k ed_sng.o gcc -c -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes - Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror -ansi -pedantic - Ic:/xdev/system/generic_inc/ -Ic:/xdev/modules/objectpile/ - Ic:/xdev/modules/polygon2d/ -Ic:/xdev/modules/mathlib/ ed_sng.c -o obj/ed_sng.o C:\xdev\game\editor> Compilation finished at Sun Jun 28 16:40:49 ************************************ -- Samir Barjoud samir AT mindspring DOT com
