Subject: bug#45518: Ctrl-G Fails to Interrupt Hung Tramp Remote-Compile in Emacs 27.1

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Firstly, my apologies. The test.cpp I supplied was an attempt at a quick
simplification, and as you said it doesn't produce "enough" syntax errors
actually.

I am pasting below a test.cpp that I have verified on my setup does hang
the tramp window.

I'm afraid that there is another complication for reproducability. I cannot
get the issue to reproduce when I do "M-x compile" then invoking "gcc
test.cpp". It appears to reproduce only when doing "make" on a larger /
more complex project containing test.cpp. This is true even when test.cpp
is the first file that compiles in the project upon "make".

I attempted to make a small autotools project containing test.cpp, but even
that doesn't seem to reproduce the tramp hang. Only by including test.cpp
in a large preexisting project does the hang occur, at least for me.

I would suggest that you take a favorite large C++ autotools project, add
test.cpp to the source tree and Makefile.am, and see if the hang reproduces
for you.

For your reference, I am also pasting the output from the hung tramp window
when I added test.cpp to a library within one of my own larger projects.

Regards,
D.
