5 First forward search after recompiling does not work - ID: 738387

Last Update: Comment added ( stefanulrich )

Details:

I've integrated forward search as documented, using
xdvi-search.el with the suggested key bindings and GNU Emacs
21.2.1, and most of the time, it works fine.

When I recompile the TeX document and immediately thereafter
perform a forward search (that is, without first activating xdvi),
the xdvi window is brought to the foreground, but the forward
search is not performed. If I change back to Emacs and do the
forward search again, it works.

I think xdvi notices that the DVI file has changed and updates the
display, but subsequently forgets to perform the forward search,
as well.

By `testing' I basically just meant `use it for a while', since I'm currently not doing much with xdvik and forward search (i.e., not writing anything at the moment). My concerns were mainly about race conditions that only occur rarely. All the better if you couldn't find any problems even with your more elaborate tests :-) So I'm closing this bug now as `fixed'. Thanks again!
Date: 2003-05-15 20:54 Sender: chrullrich Logged In: YES user_id=10395 I don't quite know how to test that. There are not many circumstances in which the file could not be reloaded. The obvious ones are, of course, missing permissions and a corrupted file, which are both handled fine. The forward search itself also works, of course, in every situation that I've tried. Backwards and forwards in the file, with and without changing it in between. It handles invalid -sourceposition parameters as well as completely garbled files (dd if=/dev/urandom -- you get my meaning) In short, I can't find any problems.
Date: 2003-05-15 18:06 Sender: stefanulrich Logged In: YES user_id=177175 OK, I tried to fix this in the CVS HEAD, but I'm not 100% sure that my attempt won't have any bad side effects (e.g. infinite loops when the DVI file can't be reloaded or some such). It would be great if you could recompile the CVS HEAD (try `cvs up -A') and do some testing before I put this into 22.74.1.
