Why does my #emacs crash every couple hours of work? I can be doing whatever, even writing non-code. I can be in Gnome or in EXWM. Today it's occurred after about 2 hours of work, and then again 2.5 hours later. It doesn't seem to matter my window-load or my CPU load; I just hear my fans start whirring, my CPU usage goes way up, and I either freeze or even my cursor becomes sluggish. This didn't happen very often a month ago, back on emacs 28.2. What could be causing it now? Maybe #GarbageCollection?
@worldsendless I've seen some lockups like that with nativecomp enabled. Not nearly as frequently as yours though, maybe once every few weeks.
Because of the low frequency I haven't been able to narrow this down further but if you find that your hangs are nativecomp specific I'd love to hear about it.
@zrzz I had a major issue with big operatiions causing lock-ups recently. Now I am very suspicious of plugins that work at all times, and my current attempt at a fix is to disable Company popups, which were on a long timer before, but today I found that "nil" lets me turn them off altogether. I'll keep you posted whether that works out nicely.
@worldsendless @zrzz Hmm, I had to give up on EmacsForMacOS 29.3 and revert to Emacs Mac Port 29.1 when I got repeated sporadic hangs and crashes; but that was shortly after I had also adopted company. You’ve made me wonder if company was the cause.
