I can reproduce a hang (C-g doesn't work) pretty reliably in a current  
build (NS port, on OS X 10.5.7) using this recipe:

[Prerequisite: ESS must be installed]

Emacs -q  (actually, Aquamacs)

Evaluate the bit of code shown at the bottom of this e-mail

C-x b test-buffer RET
M-x R-mode RET
M-x R RET  ;; to open an R process

then switch back to test-buffer and start typing randomly.  I don't  
need to type much to reproduce this.
Emacs wil hang and not react to anything except changing faces when  
the mouse cursor is moved over text with `mouse-face' properties.

I don't get this if I simplify `ess-maybe-show-arg-list' to just show  
a message.

If you want me to do something specific with gdb, then I can do that  
of course.


(defvar ess-arglist-show-timer nil)
(progn
  (if ess-arglist-show-timer
      (cancel-timer ess-arglist-show-timer))
  (setq ess-arglist-show-timer
	(run-with-idle-timer 0.2 t
			     (defun ess-maybe-show-arg-list ()
			       (interactive)
			       (and (eq major-mode 'ess-mode)
				    (or (not (current-message))
					(and (equal ess-r-args-show-as 'tooltip)
					     ess-has-tooltip))
				    ;; to do check tooltip
				    (condition-case nil
					(ess-r-args-show)
				      ;; avoid showing error if not over function
				      (error nil)))))))

(defun ess-r-args-current-function ()
  "Returns the name of the R function assuming point is currently
within the argument list or nil if no possible function name is
found."
  (save-excursion
    (condition-case nil (up-list -1)
      (error "Can't find opening parenthesis."))
    (let ((posend (point)))
      (backward-sexp 1)
      (let ((rfunname (buffer-substring-no-properties posend (point))))
	(if (posix-string-match "^[a-zA-Z0-9_\.]+$" rfunname)
	    rfunname nil)))))

Hi David, are you still getting this in Emacs 25? I don't seem to have
the required bits and pieces to test it myself, but can probably get
them. I've no idea what ESS is, though.

Alan,

We are seeing 100% CPU use quite a lot with the latest OS X, but it will still react sometimes.  This may or may not be the same bug.

I don’t have cycles to look into this old bug report again now, and I haven’t figured out much with the 100% CPU use bug.

My guess is that it’s most productive to try to investigate the newest bugs first while they are still easier to reproduce for the reporter.

- David
