Check out one of these:

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/

Well, if the same errors happen also w/o that patch, I believe we are
safe to install the patch in master.

In general, I need to debug what happens, the ert reports are not
sufficient (for me) to understand what's going wrong. Do you know how to
get an MS Windows VM instance? I would be even willing to pay for a
license.

I have a spare server which runs already VMs, like the FreeBSD instance
I've just taken for the kqueue tests.

Best regards, Michael.

Not sure what that means.

The second test fails because:

  Test auto-revert-test05-global-notify condition:

Let me know if I can help you more.

I've pushed a new test of autorevert-tests.el to master,
auto-revert-test07-auto-revert-several-buffers. It ought to cover the
scenario described in this report. It passes for me with the inotify,
gfilenotify and kqueue backends, which is fine. There are some problems
with remote backends (inotifywait and gio), but since there are also
problems with other tests, I wouldn't count on these failures for the
propsed patch.

Eli, could you run autorevert-test on MS Windows, for the w32notify
backend? Either a complete run, or just

$ make -C test autorevert-tests SELECTOR=auto-revert-test07-auto-revert-several-buffers

Thanks, and best regards, Michael.

As expected, it takes more time. Currently I'm writing a test case which
covers the problem. This must run then for different backends with and
w/o your patch, at least inotify, gfilenotify and kqueue. If possible
also for w32notify.

It's already on my todo list. Hmm, too much items there. I'll try to
find a sufficient time slot tomorrow.

Sorry for not being as responsive as I should :-(

So does this kind of change still seem plausible?  Again, the overhead
of additional watches for the same file in the operating system is
minimal, and is rare anyway.

The alternative to this change is to add a new hash table to autorevert
which maps filenames to file-notify watches, so that autorevert can look
up duplicate watches efficiently in O(1) instead of iterating over all
watches in O(n) as it does now.

I started doing that originally, but concluded it was unnecessary since
sharing watches is unnecessary.  But it's a much smaller change to
behavior while still getting the same performance gain, so if you'd
prefer that, I can do it.

Ah. Well, the inotify comment was just an example. Even given that Emacs
watches directories rather than files, I think this change is for the
best - the overhead of registering 5 files directly instead of 1
underlying directory is minimal.

Emacs actually watches the file's directory, not the file itself.  The
directory is what's registered with inotify and other similar
backends.

Again, we watch the directory of the file, so what inotify does with
files is not really relevant, IMO.  I wonder what that means for the
changes you propose.

Previously, when enabling autorevert for a new buffer, we would search
the buffers already registered with autorevert to see if any of them
had the same filename.

This is very slow with a large number of buffers - with 1000, it takes
2 seconds on my system. This 2-second overhead is paid for every new
file opened.

But this is an unnecesary optimization; registering the same file
twice with file-notify has minimal or no overhead, depending on the
implementation.

In fact, file-notify has some baked-in overhead to support registering
the same file twice without problems. For example, inotify on Linux
returns the same inotify watch descriptor when the same file is
registered twice; file-notify adds an additional uniquifying id so
that all watch descriptors are unique in Emacs, even with inotify.

We can rely on file-notify's existing support for handling the same
file being registered twice. We don't need this slow and complex
logic.

With this code deleted, enabling autorevert for a new buffer is
essentially instant even with 1000 buffers.
