bug#7426: 23.2; term.el: After running stty -opost, printing \n\r insert


From: Thomas Fitzsimmons
Subject: bug#7426: 23.2; term.el: After running stty -opost, printing \n\r inserts trailing spaces
Date: Wed, 17 Nov 2010 15:00:57 -0500
User-agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/23.1.50 (gnu/linux)

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give
a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':

$ emacs -Q
Create term-trailing-spaces.c:
#include <stdio.h>

int main (int argc, char* argv[])
{
  int i = 0;
  while (i < 10)
    {
      printf ("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa\n\rbbbbbbbbbbbb\n\r");
      i++;
    }
  return 0;
}

M-x term
Run program: /bin/bash
RET
C-c M-x eval-expression
(setq show-trailing-whitespace t)
$ gcc -o term-trailing-spaces term-trailing-spaces.c
$ stty -opost
$ ./term-trailing-spaces
Trailing spaces are shown in red.
$ stty opost
$ ./term-trailing-spaces
No trailing spaces are shown.

I'm using serial-term to connect to an embedded Linux board's serial
console.  During Linux boot the terminal doesn't post-process output
(equivalent to stty -opost) so long-line/shorter-line combinations like
in the test case result in spaces being appended to the end of the
buffer.  This is OK in char mode but in line mode the spaces stack up at
the end of the buffer and interfere with terminal I/O.  If I
accidentally leave term-mode in line mode during boot I have to kill the
buffer and restart serial-term.

I traced through term-emulate-terminal to:

   ((eq char ?\r)  ;; (terminfo: cr)
    (term-vertical-motion 0)
    (setq term-current-column term-start-line-column))

term-vertical-motion expands to vertical-motion and it's that call that
results in the spaces being inserted in the buffer.

I worked around the issue by removing, after-the-fact, spaces inserted
by the (vertical-motion 0) call.  A more efficient solution would be to
prevent vertical-motion from inserting the spaces in the first place,
but that happens deep within Emacs somewhere.  I'm hoping a terminal
expert can suggest where to look.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
