Subject: 23.2; cc-mode hangs, likely during font lock
Date: Thu, 7 Oct 2010 17:37:17 -0600

Emacs 23.2.1 hangs when I try to open a file containing the following C code:

cat <<EOF >test.c
 int a;
void f(int x) {}
EOF
emacs test.c

Note the space preceding the first line.  The content of the first
line doesn't seem to matter: so long as it starts with a space, emacs
hangs.  If I remove that space, the file opens successfully.  However,
if I then enter a space at the start of the first line, emacs will
hang after a second or two -- about the amount of time between font
lock updates.

By hangs I mean stops responding and takes up 100% CPU.  Caught in an
infinite loop.

My stripped-down .emacs file reads as follows:

(c-add-style "my-cstyle" '(
  (defun-prompt-regexp . " ")))
(defun apply-my-cstyles ()
  (c-set-style "my-cstyle"))
(add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'apply-my-cstyles)

The problem is trivially solved by setting defun-prompt-regexp to nil.
 I'm not sure why it was a space in the first place, as I never put a
space before the curly brace starting a function.  But there might be
some weirdos out there who do, so I figured I'd report the bug for
their benefit.

Cheers,
Jake

Version: 24.1

I can reproduce this in 23.3, but not in the current trunk, so it
seems to have been fixed.
