Subject: 24.0.92; c-literal-limits out of range
Date: Mon, 09 Jan 2012 11:13:35 +0100

For quite some time, when editing c-mode buffers I get errors which
typically look like:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (args-out-of-range 170988 178401)
  parse-partial-sexp(170988 178401)
  c-literal-limits(nil nil t)
  c-indent-new-comment-line(t)
  default-indent-new-line(t)
  do-auto-fill()
  apply(do-auto-fill nil)
  c-mask-paragraph(nil t do-auto-fill)
  c-do-auto-fill()
  self-insert-command(1)
  call-interactively(self-insert-command nil nil)

At this time the buffer is visibly narrowed - the arguments of
`parse-partial-sexp' were apparently within (point-min) and (point-max)
of the widened buffer but the second argument was likely after the end
of the the narrowed buffer.

Moreover, the buffer was no more associated with the file I was trying
to edit, so reverting the buffer was impossible, undo information had
been discarded, killing the buffer was possible without asking.

That's presumably because the code uses something like
with-silent-modifications.  I.e. it's not a problem (contrary to the
`args-out-of-range' error, obviously).

My bad.  I didn't quit the backtrace buffer but tried to fix it manually
and lost my changes :-(

Hi, Martin.

Please apply this patch, use C Mode for an infinite amount of time, then

My `widen' doesn't like any arguments.

But doing it with Emacs makes the time pass infinitely faster.

Yes, but do both infinites have the same cardinality...?

In particular when it throws you out of its ranges.
