Description hkoba 2021-03-30 07:21:45 UTC
Description of problem:

I found my anthy-agent always enters an infinite loop over read_1_token().

  (gdb) bt

After some googling, I found this issue in Debian BTS:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=777689

I removed ~/.anthy/last-record2_default.utf8 and anthy-agent start working again.

Also, locally applying the patch solved this issue for me.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

anthy-9100h-39.fc32.x86_64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Truncate ~/.anthy/last-record2_default.utf8 to 4096 bytes.
2. Start Emacs and enter some texts for Anthy
3. Enter <SPACE> to transform it.

Alternatively, you can test it from command line:

./anthy-agent <<EOF
henkannnotesuto
(space)
EOF


Actual results:

anthy-agent enters an infinite loop.


Expected results:

Inputs are transformed.

I think anthy does not sync the output and this issue always could happen when users kill or shutdown the session suddenly.
Currently ibus-anthy detects the incomplete last-record2_default.utf8 and outputs a warning dialog to delete the file.

anthy is no longer maintained in upstream and it would be good to report the issue to anthy-unicode:

Comment 2 Fedora Program Management 2021-04-29 16:58:33 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '32'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 32 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

As discussed with @akira tagoh , moving this to F34

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 37 development cycle.
Changing version to 37.
