Subject: 14.0.3.2024-03-17; max-lisp-eval-depth exceeded with XeTeX option
Date: Tue, 7 May 2024 08:45:25 +0000

Dear all,

if I choose XeTeX with a comment-option at the end of the document, 
opening the file results in Emacs saying tha max-lisp-eval-depth has 
been exceeded.

As a result, running the AUCTeX shortcuts for running LaTeX, does not 
work (without defaults given).

Leaving out below option and doing 'M-x TeX-engine-set RET xetex' 
produces no hiccups.

Best,

Florian

Minimal non-working example:

\section{What happens}

This does not load AUCTeX correctly with the XeTeX commented option at 
the end of the document, but works fine without it.
With the option, Emacs says that 'max-lisp-eval-depth' is exceeded and 
commands for compiling the document under AUCTeX are not available.

Leaving out below option and doing 'M-x TeX-engine-set RET xetex' 
produces no hiccups.

It seems you've installed AUCTeX from ELPA, maybe you can update
(though I don't think that would solve the issue.)

Do you get this issue also when starting with "emacs -Q"?  You need to
start emacs with -Q switch and then eval this in scratch:

(progn
  (package-initialize t)
  (package-activate 'auctex))

Now open your .tex file.

Best, Arash

The first step is described above: If it works in a clean environment,
we can proceed; and you might get help here from others :-)

I depends, it might be that you've loaded the built-in latex-mode.  So
again, please follow the recipe above and tell us what you get.

Hi Arash,

You're right, AUCTeX loads the file just fine if emacs is started with 
the -Q switch. Does that mean that there's something else in my 
configuration of Emacs (or AUCTeX?) that is tripping AUCTeX up? I 
wouldn't even know where to start looking...

In the meantime, the solution that works for me is to reduce the local 
variable list to:

%%% Local Variables:

I think the line

%%% mode: latex

is the culprit in my case. Was there an infinite loop between AUCTeX 
loading latex-mode automatically and again due to the local variables?

Best,

Florian

Hi Arash, dear all,

I now did the uninstall, restart, reinstall. With -Q switch and evaluating

   (progn
      (package-initialize t)
      (package-activate 'auctex))

I open the file (which still works smoothly) and run 'M-x list-load-path-shadows RET' to get:

No Emacs Lisp load-path shadowings were found


With neither the  -Q switch nor above evaluations, I get

File local-variables error: (error Lisp nesting exceeds ‘max-lisp-eval-depth’)

upon opening the file and

upon doing 'M-x list-load-path-shadow RET'.

Ok, so AUCTeX works just fine in a vanilla setup.

So you get the issue when you start emacs with your setup, right?  If
so, we have dig through your config file.

You can try 2 things:

• Restart Emacs, do 'M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET' and then open the
  file in order to trigger the issue.  See what the debugger says.
• Rename your init file and make a new one containing only your AUCTeX
  setup.  Then restart Emacs, do 'M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET' and
  open your .tex file again.

This should be harmless.  transient and seq are both in Emacs core, but
I can't tell if with 28 or 29.  You can try to remove them from the
package interface, it will complain if they are needed as dependencies.

Does it help, if I tell you that the function LaTeX-mode() is from ~/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-14.0.4/latex.el and latex-mode() is from c:/Program Files/Emacs/emacs-28.1/share/emacs/28.1/lisp/textmodes/tex-mode.el ?

When I check the buffers, mwe.tex is in 'Text' mode.


• Rename your init file and make a new one containing only your AUCTeX
  setup.  Then restart Emacs, do 'M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET' and
  open your .tex file again.

I reduce init.el to (most comments ';;' ommitted)

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(custom-set-variables
 '(package-selected-packages
   '(auctex)))
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Funny:  WITHOUT toggle-debug-on-error, here the file opens and reloads (C-x C-v) just fine, AUCTeX works. WITH toggle-debug-on-error, opening the file produces the following (the buffer list still shows the file in latex mode but  reloading (C-x C-v) the file after that gives a buffer in 'Fundamental' mode)...

I think this must be the issue bug#69373[1]. Landis, can you try the

A. Update your emacs to 29.3 or
B. Put the following code block into somewhere in your init file
(~/.emacs.d/init.el)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
(defun hack-one-local-variable (var val)
  "Set local variable VAR with value VAL.
If VAR is `mode', call `VAL-mode' as a function unless it's
already the major mode."

       (set-auto-mode-0 mode t)))
    ('eval

     (save-excursion (eval val t)))

     ;; Some text properties can get evaluated in various ways,
