Hello, The Emacs editor hangs when browsing thru large verilog files say 40,000 lines.I saw thru the known bugs and found the below ... But it doesnt help ..
Plz HELP me out with a solution .. The version is 21.2 and the machine UltraSPARC-IIIi OS - SUN5.9 Thanks Regards Senthil.s. ======================================== * Font Lock displays portions of the bufefr in incorrect faces. By far the most frequent cause of this is a parenthesis `(' or a brace `{' in column zero. Font Lock assumes that such a paren is outside of any comment or string. This is of course not true in general, but the vast majority of well-formatted program source files don't have such parens, and therefore this assumption is used to allow optimizations in Font Lock's syntactical analysis. These optimizations avoid some patological cases where jit-lock, the Just-in-Time fontification introduced with Emacs 21.1, could significantly slow down scrolling through the buffer, especially scrolling backwards, and also jumping to the end of a very large buffer. If you don't use large buffers, or have a very fast machine which makes the delays insignificant, you can avoid the incorrect fontification by setting the variable `font-lock-beginning-of-syntax-function' to a nil value. (This must be done _after_ turning on Font Lock.) ==================================== Even JESUS is criticized and Buddha is criticized but noone criticizes himself !! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
