Subject: [PATCH v2] Add QUIT to inner loop in value_print_array_elements
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 12:05:33 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930180533.3722413-1-tromey@adacore.com> (raw)
When printing an array, some work is done to detect repeated elements.
This work is not interruptible, and it is somewhat slow (see
PR exp/32681).
This patch adds QUITs to the relevant spots. In v2 this also moves a
QUIT in the string-printing code, pushing it into a more important
loop.
I am not sure there is a way to write a non-racy test for this.
