A fix for the "freezing" problem .....
Hi!
XEmacs 21.4.* is freezing on me all of the time.
As I use it VERY extnesively, it freezes on me dozen times per day.
Some of the "freezes" last for hours or days. I have not experienced
days, because I have to work, so I just kill XEmacs and start it all
over ........
I also noted that if I run (and quit) gdb session (gdbsrc or similar)
XEmacs get's frozen very soon afterwards, so that it has to be killed.
I have done some debugging and made a very small change into 2.4.10
code.
It is now two whole day that have passed with 29 debugging sessions
and not a signel "freeze" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The fix I did seems trivial to me and even wrong, as it just discards
the last timeout. But I do not have any problems, what so ever.
So, your opinion is truly required !!!
This is a diff:
*** tmp/event-Xt.c Mon Nov 11 18:30:43 2002
--- src/event-Xt.c Mon Nov 11 18:31:09 2002
***************
*** 2100,2107 ****
/* Code duplication! */
if (id == completed_timeouts->id)
{
- timeout = completed_timeouts;
completed_timeouts = completed_timeouts->next;
}
else
{
--- 2100,2107 ----
/* Code duplication! */
if (id == completed_timeouts->id)
{
completed_timeouts = completed_timeouts->next;
+ timeout = completed_timeouts;
}
else
