Re: cvs emacs stalls with: error in process filter

[Richard Stallman]

    I've added a check for quit-flag to this loop and it worked.
    But I wonder if maybe accept-process-output could/should act on C-g.

accept-process-output ought to allow quitting, and looking at the
code in wait_reading_process_input, I would say it does:


  /* If read_kbd is a process to watch, set wait_proc and wait_channel
     accordingly.  */
  if (PROCESSP (read_kbd))
    {
      wait_proc = XPROCESS (read_kbd);
      wait_channel = XINT (wait_proc->infd);
      XSETFASTINT (read_kbd, 0);
    }

  ...

      /* If calling from keyboard input, do not quit
         since we want to return C-g as an input character.
         Otherwise, do pending quit if requested.  */
      if (XINT (read_kbd) >= 0)
        QUIT;

Can you figure out why accept-process-output fails to check
for quit when you use it?
