Hi I am running xemacs from the carbon2 branch on my mac. I find that after a few hours of inactivity, xemacs takes up a lot of cpu constantly, using about 60-80% of the cpu (and firefox the remaining). I had one such xemacs instance under gdb, but I know neither xemacs internals nor carbon. So any help getting to the root of this problem will be useful. I can help debug the problem when it happens next, if I am given clues about where to look for what. I ran dapptrace (dtrace script for tracing function calls) and I have put the output here: http://mirthmakers.com/code/xemacs-dapptrace.txt This file is really large, as I turned on all the options for dapptrace, just to get as much data as possible (may be too much though, now that I look at the output). Here is the gdb backtrace, in case this is useful for someone. It just does this all the time. #0 get_tty_and_process_events [inlined] () at event-carbon.c:590 #1 get_events (can_block_p=<value temporarily unavailable, due to optimizations>) at event-carbon.c:638 #2 0x00019b45 in emacs_carbon_event_pending_p (how_many=1) at event-carbon.c:638 #3 0x000692b0 in event_stream_event_pending_p (how_many=<value temporarily unavailable, due to optimizations>) at event-carbon.c:638 #4 0x0006965b in run_pre_idle_hook () at event-carbon.c:638 #5 0x00122a6b in redisplay () at event-carbon.c:638 #6 0x0006de90 in Fnext_event (event=21180348, prompt=2048652) at event-carbon.c:638 #7 0x0002eff4 in Fcommand_loop_1 () at event-carbon.c:638 #8 0x0002f0e5 in command_loop_1 (unused_dummy=2048652) at event-carbon.c:638 #9 0x0005ca2e in condition_case_1 (handlers=-1073744472, bfun=0x2f0c0 <command_loop_1>, barg=2048652, hfun=0x2e970 <cmd_error>, harg=2048652) at event-carbon.c:638 #10 0x0002ebf8 in get_tty_and_process_events [inlined] () at event-carbon.c:262 #11 0x0002ebf8 in command_loop_2 (unused_dummy=2048652) at event-carbon.c:638 #12 0x00056419 in internal_catch (tag=-1073744472, func=0x2eb90 <command_loop_2>, arg=2048652, threw=0x0, thrown_tag=0x0, backtrace_before_throw=0x0) at event-carbon.c:638 #13 0x0002ed43 in initial_command_loop (load_me=2048652) at event-carbon.c:638 #14 0x00053e96 in xemacs_21_5_b28_i386_apple_darwin9_6_0 (argc=2, argv=0xbffffbb0, unused_envp=0x0, restart=0) at event-carbon.c:638 #15 0x00054b50 in main (argc=-1073744472, argv=0xbffff5a8, unused_envp=0xbffffbbc) at event-carbon.c:638 Thanks for any help kaarthik _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
