I can't remember the last time I had an I/O hang in Emacs. I'm also fairly active in the mailing list and various forums, I/O hangs are not really what's being discussed day to day.
So I have to ask, are you projecting or what makes you say something like that?
- appletrotter 4y agoAs a third party in this conversation, and someone who uses emacs daily - I/O hangs seem to be something that is a pretty frequent issue for users. My emacs likes to crash sometimes, usually a few times a week. Hopefully I’ll be able to take some time to bisect my config and see what’s going on. Looks like a memory leak.
- Kaze404 4y agoTo add to this, my Emacs never crashes but at least once a week I'll run an innocent command (sometimes just opening magit) and it will become unresponsive indefinitely, with the only way of closing it being sending a kill command from the terminal.
- gjadi 4y agoIf your emacs freezes, you can often recover it by sending the USR2 signal. When it receives this signal, Emacs will drop in the debugger.
