CEDET

The best way to debug the idle timer is to use one of the commands:

semantic-debug-idle-function
semantic-debug-idle-work-function

In your case, you want the work function.

The work function does different things depending on which file you
are in when it starts.

The command will run the work function with debugging turned on, and
the error handlers all turned off.  The resulting stack trace is what
will prove most useful.

Just for extra-clarification,

First of all the correct 1st line is (with an additional semi-colon between `texinfo' and `coding') :


\input texinfo   @c -*- mode: texinfo; coding: iso-8859-1-unix -*-

Second, actually this modification is not sufficient to make makeinfo work properly. You also need to insert the following line just after @setfilename semantic.info :

@documentencoding iso-8859-1

With these two corrections, things work properly with Emacs version 23 (actually, the second correction is more important than the 1st one to achieve the fix).

Best regards,
   Vincent.

Subject: [cedet-semantic] [semantic] Problem with compiling semantic.texi








Hello,



During installation of semantic, semantic.texi is compiled with makeinfo. 

I am using 

emacs version 23.0.60.1

makeinfo version 4.13

windows 2000



What happens is that each line in the generated semantic.info is tailed
by a ^M (carriage return).  This is a problem because these ^M are
displayed by emacs when I browse the info.



The only thing to do to correct this problem is to replace the 1st line of the file semantic.texi by the following:



\input texinfo   @c -*- mode: texinfo coding: iso-8859-1-unix -*-



Best Regards,

   Vincent.

Hi,

Thanks for the info.

I looked into this problem some, and saw that Eli intends to fix this
as an Emacs bug.  Or at least that is what he specified back in
November.

If the behavior somehow persists when Emacs 23 is released, then I
might make the files more compatible with the change.

Thanks
Eric
