From: Ikumi Keita <ikumi <at> ikumi.que.jp> To: bug-auctex <at> gnu.org Subject: 11.90; preview-latex fails for file names of certain length Date: Sat, 27 May 2017 00:14:45 +0900
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Remember to cover the basics. Including a minimal LaTeX example file exhibiting the problem might help. Preview-latex fails if the length of the file name or the amount of the document is sufficiently large. [How to reproduce] (0) Enable preview-latex. (1) Save the attached file "preview-section-test.tex" in /tmp/ and open it. (2) Type C-c C-p C-d and answer with "n" to "Cache preamble?" question. (3) The ghostscript process hangs with error message "No bounding box" and the process buffer is displayed. Only the partial "\section{xxx}" are covered by the expected images and rests remains icons of road construction sign. See the attached screenshot. It is really strage to me that the length of the file name seems to be related to this symptom. If the *same* file is saved under the file name "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.tex" (18 x's), no errors occur and all "\section{xxx}" are covered by suitable images after C-c C-p C-d. But the symptom occurs again if the file name is "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.tex" (19 x's). The amount of the document (or the number of pieces to be covered by images in the buffer?) seems to be related, too. If all the "\section{xxx}" but the first "\section{abc}" are commented out in "preview-section-test.tex", C-c C-p C-d runs without any problems. Caching preamble also seems to be related. If I answer with "y" to "Cache preamble?" in "preview-section-test.tex", it doesn't exhibit any problem.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi all, At last I managed to figure out the roots of this wierd symptom. And it also turned out that bug#20773 has the same origin, so I'm cc'ing to 20773 <at> debbugs.gnu.org, too. >>>>> Ikumi Keita <ikumi <at> ikumi.que.jp> writes: > Preview-latex fails if the length of the file name or the amount of the > document is sufficiently large. > [How to reproduce] > (0) Enable preview-latex. > (1) Save the attached file "preview-section-test.tex" in /tmp/ and open it. > (2) Type C-c C-p C-d and answer with "n" to "Cache preamble?" question. > (3) The ghostscript process hangs with error message "No bounding box" > and the process buffer is displayed.

But > the symptom occurs again if the file name is "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.tex" > (19 x's). [Analysis] When LaTeX runs it always outputs a lot of messages to console and log file, and it inserts line breaks in the 80th column when it outputs long messages. Here are some samples: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ./preview-section-test.tex:10: Preview: Snippet 4 ended.(655359+183500x22609920 ). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ./xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxABC.tex:8: Preview: Snippet 3 ended.(655359+183500x2260992 0). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ./formalism_atranslation.tex:1: Preview: Snippet 1 ended.(541848+14544x15728640 ). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- It is this line break that makes preview-latex to fail. The part which parses the LaTeX messages in `preview-parse-messages' of preview.el is: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (if (looking-at "\ \\(?:Preview\\|Package Preview Error\\): Snippet \\([---0-9]+\\) \\(started\\|ended\\(\ \\.? *(\\([---0-9]+\\)\\+\\([---0-9]+\\)x\\([---0-9]+\\))\\)?\\)\\.") (progn ... (snip) ... (setq snippet (string-to-number (match-string 1)) box (unless (string= (match-string 2) "started") (if (match-string 4) (mapcar #'(lambda (x) (* (preview-get-magnification) (string-to-number x))) (list (match-string 4) (match-string 5) (match-string 6))) t)) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comparing the regexp and the examples quoted above, you can tell that the regexp fails to pick up the numbers embedded in the LaTeX messages such as "655359+183500x22609920" due to the extra line break. This the reason that preview-latex cannot provide the necessary information to ghostscript and complains that "No bounding box". [Solution] Thanks to https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/52988/avoid-linebreaks-in-latex-console-log-output , I learned that we can (effectively) inhibit to insert extra line breaks by setting environment variable max_print_line to sufficiently large value. I confirmed that the attached patch solves the both bug#20773 and bug#27088. I will install this fix in a week or so. According to the article above, MikTeX also understands max_print_line, so I think this fix is effective regardless of TeX distribution. As always, any comments and suggestions are welcome. And I also expect that the same prescription can be applied to solve reliably similar problem handled in `TeX-format-filter' at the part "Remove line breaks at columns 79 and 80" comment. We can get rid of heuristic logic used there. Regards, Ikumi Keita

Hi all, > According to the article above, MikTeX also understands > max_print_line, so I think this fix is effective regardless of TeX > distribution. Sorry, this statement seems to be wrong. I misread the description in the article https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/52988/avoid-linebreaks-in-latex-console-log-output . After installing MikTeX 2.9 on my windows 10 home edition, in addtion to TeXLive 2017, it turned out that MikTeX doesn't see the environment variable max_print_line. According to the above article, MikTeX needs either of the two: (1) Add command line option --max-print-line=1000 to latex. (2) Edit the config file and modify max_print_line parameter. In addtion, if my installation of MikTeX is correct (I'm not 100% sure that some interfere between MikTeX and TeXLive occurs), preview-latex does not support MikTeX in the first place even when the extra line breaks do not appear. The (pdf)latex included in MikTeX outputs messages like this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- circ.tex:49: Preview: Snippet 2 started circ.tex:49: Preview: Snippet 2 ended.(651269+183455x14483456) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Because of the absence of a period at the end of these lines, the regexp I mentioned before does not match and preview-latex ends up with a message "error in process sentinel: LaTeX found no preview images". Even when I modified the regexp to allow that the period at EOL is optional, another error "error in process sentinel: Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil", after Preview-PDF2DSC is killed, keeps preview-latex from working. I don't want to play with MikTeX further, so I'll leave the matters concerned with MikTeX and preview-latex untouched. Therefore, I'm afraid that the perspective > And I also expect that the same prescription can be applied to solve > reliably similar problem handled in `TeX-format-filter' at the part > "Remove line breaks at columns 79 and 80" comment. We can get rid of > heuristic logic used there. would not apply for non-preview-latex runs in AUCTeX. The heuristic logic is still necessary due to MikTeX. Regards, Ikumi Keita
