Description Jules Colding 2007-09-05 08:24:15 UTC
Hi,

The cscope menu item has recently vanished from my emacs 22 menu bar. It is present in dired but not when opening a source file. The problem has started recently but I do not know which emerge did it. I'll attach my emacs startup files asap.

Thanks,
  jules

Comment 2 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2007-09-05 08:53:53 UTC
Sorry, we cannot handle this bug report unless you provide us with at least some information. Which version of Emacs ("emacs --version") and which version of cscope you are using? And how can we reproduce the bug?

Reopen this bug then.
Comment 3 Jules Colding 2007-09-05 09:01:30 UTC
I haven't tested this on other boxes, but the cscope and emacs version are below. You might see the problem if you untar my emacs startup files.

Thanks,
  jules

Reopening.
Comment 6 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2007-09-05 10:14:15 UTC
I cannot reproduce the bug; a "Cscope" item appears whenever I open a C source file. Does the problem also occur if you start emacs with "emacs -q" and load xcscope manually?
Comment 7 Jules Colding 2007-09-05 10:29:49 UTC
No, it does not. The '-q' + manually load trick works perfectly. My emacs startup files do not reproduce the problem for you so I'm lost as to why I see the problem. Do you have any idea what could cause it?

Thanks,
  jules

Since Emacs 22 was released only in June, cscope must have been byte-compiled with a different Emacs version. (You may find out by looking into /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/xcscope/xcscope.elc: the Emacs version it was compiled with should be in the 4th header line.)

Try to emerge cscope again to make sure that it is byte-compiled with Emacs version 22.1.
Comment 9 Jules Colding 2007-09-06 07:01:27 UTC
Yep, it was byte-compiled against emacs 21 but re-emerging it again (and checking that it was now byte-compiled against emacs 22.1.2) and restarting emacs did not solve the problem. Very strange...
Comment 10 Jules Colding 2007-09-06 07:52:09 UTC
I've now rebuild all emacs related packages with no result. I think cscope just doesn't like me...
Comment 11 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2007-09-06 08:13:46 UTC
Since the problem doesn't occur with "emacs -q", I would normally say that it must be caused by your startup files. OTOH, I cannot reproduce it with your startup files (only things I had changed there: I removed the loading of "gpl" and "idl-font-lock" since these are not installed here).

Maybe some other package is interfering with cscope. Can you attach your site-gentoo.el?

Again, nothing suspicious here ...

What is the value of variable c-mode-hook ("C-h v c-mode-hook RET")? It should contain cscope:hook.
Comment 14 Jules Colding 2007-09-06 09:10:56 UTC
c-mode-hook is a variable defined in `cc-vars.el'.
Its value is shown below.

Documentation:
*Hook called by `c-mode'.

You can customize this variable.

Value: 
((lambda nil
   (define-key c-mode-map
     [f7]

     'find-file-at-cursor))
 semantic-default-c-setup cscope:hook)
Comment 15 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2007-09-06 09:53:13 UTC
Hm, and is it actually called? What happens if you set a breakpoint:
   M-x debug-on-entry RET cscope:hook RET
and open a C file then? It should enter the debugger and after pressing "d" a few times (four times in my case) you should see that cscope-minor-mode and easy-menu-add are called:

Debugger entered--entering a function:
* easy-menu-add((keymap "Cscope" (Find\ symbol menu-item "Find symbol" ...
* byte-code("...
* cscope-minor-mode()
* byte-code("...
* cscope:hook()
  run-hooks(c-mode-common-hook c-mode-hook)
  apply(run-hooks (c-mode-common-hook c-mode-hook))
  run-mode-hooks(c-mode-common-hook c-mode-hook)
  c-mode()
  ...
Comment 16 Jules Colding 2007-09-06 10:06:59 UTC
Hmm... It immediately gave me this:

Loading debug...done
Loading semantic-c...done
File mode specification error: (error "Autoloading failed to define function semantic-default-c-setup")

Actually, during start I see this in "*Compile-Log*":

Comment 17 Jules Colding 2007-09-06 10:11:34 UTC
OK, after un-merging cedet (a fork of semantic is a part of cedet) and specifically emerging semantic it works!

Thanks a lot for all of your help :-)

All maintained by the Emacs team. ;-) And we should better find the bug, since we plan to remove the very outdated app-emacs/semantic package, see bug #190768.

Was it the newest cedet version (i.e., 1.0_pre4-r1) that you were using?

I've almost never been bitten by a bug related to emacs, so you must be doing a very good job ;-)

Yes, I was using app-emacs/cedet-1.0_pre4-r1.

When I opened the C file.


Comment 21 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2007-09-06 15:47:47 UTC
Finally I can reproduce the problem:

   emerge =cedet-1.0_pre3-r2
   emerge =cedet-1.0_pre4-r1

Opening a C file (with emacs-22.1-r1) will then result in:
File mode specification error: (error "Autoloading failed to define function semantic-default-c-setup")

The problem goes away if I do "emerge -C cedet" followed by "emerge cedet". It looks like cedet doesn't like to be upgraded, so this might be the issue of bug #183205 again.

files/1.0_pre4-semantic-require-ede.patch

Looks like this bug has been seen by others before, without a solution:
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.semantic/1346>

Further investigation shows me the following:
1. The problem is due to the file semantic/bovine/semantic-c.elc that is
   truncated during byte-compilation.
2. Truncation only happens if site-lisp/cedet/ede is in the load-path.
   Deleting it results in a good semantic-c.elc.
3. If (require 'document) is commented out in semantic-c.el, the resulting
   byte-compiled file is also o.k. (some warnings during compilation though).
4. Combining findings 2 and 3: semantic/document.el contains a (require 'ede)
   inside a condition-case. These three lines have been added between
   1.0_pre3 and pre4. I think that it is save to remove them since the
   byte-compiled document.elc is identical in both cases.

Attached patch should fix the issue.

Comment 26 Jules Colding 2007-09-10 11:16:13 UTC
Just an update. I've now unmerged cedet, semantic, eieio and speedbar followed by a fresh emerge of cedet. I'm still getting the '*Compile-Log*' below but only if my .emacs.desktop file contains a c-file to load when emacs is started. It doesn't complain when emacs is started with no c-files to load and then subsequently loads a c-file. Other than that everything, including cscope, works just fine. BTW - this is without your cedet patch.

If upstream doesn't come up with a better solution within the next week, then I will apply my patch.

The obvious workaround until then is to unmerge app-emacs/cedet and merge it again.

Did this also happen with cedet-1.0_pre3-r2?

I just unmerged the newer one and emerged the older to test this and, yes, it does happen with cedet-1.0_pre3-r2 too. The actual output is different but similar:

After reading the following message: <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.semantic/1382> I don't expect any answer from upstream to this issue anymore.

Ebuild with patch committed as -r2.

Thank you for reporting this bug and for your help with debugging.
