[Bug] Emacs crashes when editing files
MariusKressin opened this issue · comments
Thank you for the bug report
- I am using the latest version of
Centaur Emacs. - I checked my private configurations in
custom.elandcustom-post.el. - I checked FAQ.
Bug description
When I open a JS, TS, or Ruby (possibly others as well) file in emacs, it crashes, and I get the message: Fatal error 11: Segmentation fault.
For whatever reason, Elisp files do not make it crash, and neither does Go. Also, it takes a few seconds longer to crash if I disable aggressive-indent-mode or flymake-mode.
Steps to reproduce
- Install Centaur Emacs by cloning it to
.emacs.d. - Start emacs.
- Wait for it to finish downloading everything.
- Navigate to a file.
- Edit the file.
- For certain files, emacs crashes.
Expected behavior
This behavior was naturally unexpected.

Can you provide any example files to reproduce the issue?
This happens with empty files.
I believe it's an issue of Emacs or related lib. Please check if tree-sitter is enabled. Try the solutions below.
(setq centaur-tree-sitter nil). See #445- Recompiling Emacs with the latest
libgccjit. See d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus#681.
Sadly, the first option (setq ...) doesn't seem to do anything. As for the second, I'm using the MacPorts version of Emacs, so I don't have libgccjit installed (MacPorts uses an alternative library, I think).
Maybe MacPorts is conflicting with it in some way. Does Centaur Emacs require Homebrew?
@MariusKressin I have had bunch of problems in the past with Emacs installed with Macports. I have had great success with this build script for past 2 years with out any crashes - https://github.com/jimeh/build-emacs-for-macos
Ofcourse you will still need Homebrew to install dependencies.
That's okay then. I don't think it's worthwhile to switch over to Homebrew just for this, so I'll look elsewhere.
I am using emacs-plus, but Centaur Emacs doesn't require homebrew. You can compile Emacs yourself (without homebrew) if you will. I recommend GNU Emacs.
