There appears to be an issue with the /message/ function when
emacs is invoked in -batch mode on windows-nt from outside the
windows console (i.e. not directly from the command
prompt). Messages are not displayed to the user until emacs exits.
Consider the following command from example, which suppose to
print the message "hi" first to the user and then exit after 5 seconds:
: emacs -Q --batch --eval="(progn (message \"hi\") (sit-for 5))"
When this command is invoked from within an emacs eshell on
windows, the message is only displayed to the user after about 5 seconds,
i.e when emacs is about to exit.
Here is a small summary running the above under Linux and windows
native:
| system | invoked from | terminal output
|
|---------------------+----------------+--------------------------------------------|
| x86_64-pc-linux-gnu | terminal | prints "hi", then after 5
seconds it exits |
| x86_64-pc-linux-gnu | emacs eshell | prints "hi", then after 5
seconds it exits |
| x86_64-w64-mingw32 | command prompt | prints "hi", then after 5
seconds it exits |
| x86_64-w64-mingw32 | emacs eshell | after 5 seconds prints
"hi", then exits |
The issue on windows is not exclusive to invoking emacs -batch
from within emacs (e.g. from eshell), it applies to any invocation
that happens
outside the command prompt, e.g. from inside the MSYS2 mintty
terminal.
It appears as if the issue is caused by a different stderr
buffering mode used when a program is invoked outside of
the command prompt. Analysis to follow.
