Why is this issue (apparently) only seen in Python mode


        

      

      
Answering my own question, it happens in any mode that sets
imenu-prev-index-position-function and
imenu-extract-index-name-function, but there are very few of those.

Eg prolog mode. With buffer contents:

------
fac(0,1).
fac(N,F) :- N > 0, M is N - 1,
       fac(M,Fm), F is N * Fm.
------

and point at point-min, switching to prolog-mode causes the same issue.

How about taking the more cautious approach with:

(when (and (= pos (point))
           (not (bobp)))
   (error "Infinite loop... ))

(IIUC, this was actually the suggestion in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-01/msg00510.html ?)


    

    I ran into the same thing, and checking bobp is not enough, try
    adding a newline at the beginning of file to the recipe and call
    imenu with point at beginning of defun and you'll see the infinite
    error check will trigger.

    

    I proposed the following patch that works:

function)

    But finally after some mails with Stefan we decided the best thing
    will be to remove this check altogether.

Oh, so the actual issue is: if you call
imenu-default-create-index-function with point at the start of the last
defun in the buffer. It goes to point-max, then back to the start of the
defun, and mistakenly thinks it is inflooping.

How about the following, which only signals an error if
imenu-prev-index-position-function returns non-nil twice in a row
without moving point.

BTW, neither python-nav-beginning-of-defun or
python-imenu-prev-index-position will move past the start of the first
defun in a buffer, if the defun begins past point-min (ie, if there are
blank lines before the first defun, it does not move over them to
point-min). I don't know if this matters, but it is inconsistent with eg
Prolog and Emacs Lisp modes.
