Subject: 30.0.50; Keep getting "Error in syntax_table logic for to-the-end
 intervals"
Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2022 09:41:56 +0000

Hi,

I keep getting the following backtrace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Error in syntax_table logic for to-the-end intervals")
  (re-search-forward "\\(?:\\(?:\\<DEADLINE: *\\(\\(?:<\\(?:[[:digit:]]\\{4\\}-[..." nil move)

It only happens in Emacs 30 (master) and is not regular.

The error sounds like some kind of internal error.
Does it signify some Emacs issue? Or may it be third-party code issue?

Best,
Ihor

Adding Stefan.  Any comments or suggestions?

It is, indeed.

>> Does it signify some Emacs issue? Or may it be third-party code issue?

No, it's a bug in the C code somewhere.
Presumably somewhere between the `regexp-emacs.c` code and the
`syntax.c` code.

The regexp code keeps a global state in `gl_state` to speed up looks up
of the `syntax-table` text-property.  The above error indicates that
this global state is inconsistent for some reason.

Maybe we somehow ran a regexp search during the regexp search?
I know this can happen via the automatic calls to `syntax-propertize`,
but `syntax.c:parse_sexp_propertize` is careful to (re)call
`SETUP_SYNTAX_TABLE` after running ELisp code, so that shouldn't be the
source of the problem.

Maybe there's some other way to re-enter regexp search and that one
isn't careful to call `SETUP_SYNTAX_TABLE` before returning to the outer
regexp search?

For the last few weeks, I am not seeing this issue anymore on the latest
master. I think that the bug can be closed as auto-magically resolved.

OK, closing.  If you see this again, please reopen.

Thanks.
