Subject: 29.0.50; Fontification hangs with C header file
Date: Thu, 24 Nov 2022 09:32:03 +0530

Opening this header file with lots of macros makes Emacs
very slow.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/include/asic_reg/dce/dce_12_0_sh_mask.h

Same behavior is seen with other header files inside asic_reg.
Fontification/scrolling hangs Emacs and it becomes unusable.

Bug #25706 suggested the workaround 'fast-but-imprecise-scrolling',
but enabling it doesn't seem to improve things now.

I hadn't, no, but I think it's already been fixed by the following
commit:

commit 3208a42c47c4f98cb03c4b15164ca83113244b40
Author: Alan Mackenzie <acm <at> muc.de>
Date:   Thu Nov 24 10:51:03 2022 +0000

    CC Mode: Make it scroll fast over buffers with only #define's

The OP's test file was around 6 MB big.  When I scrolled all the way
through it, it took around 32 seconds.

I'll look into this more carefully, and get in touch with the OP.

Thanks!

Thanks for taking the trouble to report this bug, and sorry for the
irritation it has caused.

I think the bug has already been fixed, coincidentally on Thursday, by
the following commit to master:

commit 3208a42c47c4f98cb03c4b15164ca83113244b40
Author: Alan Mackenzie <acm <at> muc.de>
Date:   Thu Nov 24 10:51:03 2022 +0000

    CC Mode: Make it scroll fast over buffers with only #define's

, committed just a few hours after you reported the bug.

I have a test script which scrolls all the way through a file, timing
how long it takes.  Before the above commit, it took ~1524 seconds on
dce_12-0_sh_mask.h, after the commit, it took ~31.4 seconds.

Would you please update your Emacs version, and see if this commit has
indeed resolved the problem, then let us know.

Thanks!

This commit fixes the issue. It doesn't look like
fast-but-imprecise-scrolling is needed anymore at all.

Thanks !

Thank you for the testing, and I'm glad it works.  I'm closing the bug
with this post.
