ggtags frozen emacs for several seconds

mtellezj opened this issue · comments

I have emacs frozen at random intervals (2-10 minutes between intervals) when I'm doing basic python editing. the cpu fan start to spinnig very fast and top show me that emacs is using 100% cpu. I ran profiler and I get this:

Now I disable elpy and company but without luck. Any help?

I think ggtags-fontify-code is triggered by eldoc-mode. More specifically it looks like font-locking python in a temp buffer has issues. Somehow python-info-docstring-p is very expensive there.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I disable eldoc-mod and everything is running smooth. Should I open a bug on eldoc or this is ggtags realted?

@mtellezj Neither. I think this is likely an issue with python-mode but I am clueless since I don't use python and the emacs mode I use is from many years ago.

Thanks a lot. I'll check with python mode.
