This is a followup for another bug report
https://orgmode.org/list/87plxg95u4.fsf@gmail.com
Using the MWE from that report I am seeing a different bug and it is not
very clear for me what is causing it.
1. When I create /tmp/bug.org with the following contents:
#+begin_src python :dir otherdir :async yes :session pysession :return figname :results file value :mkdirp yes
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.figure(figsize=(1, 1))
plt.plot([1, 2])
figname = 'fig.svg'
plt.savefig(figname)
#+end_src
2. Go to Org git folder
3. make repro REPRO_ARGS="-l ob-python /tmp/bug.org"
4. Evaluate the code block
5. I get
#+RESULTS:
[[file:babel-GJy87v/python-xr8wq9]]
rather than expected [[file:otherdir/fig.svg]]
I use matplotlib 3.8.2-r1.
The contents of Python REPL is suspicious:
Python 3.11.7 (main, Jan 8 2024, 18:11:18) [GCC 13.2.1 20231216] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

This is most likely something about my current system setup - I can
reproduce with other Org mode and Emacs versions. But I have no clue
what is the cause.

I'm getting the same as you with your MWE.
The tag, used by ob-comint async, is:
"/tmp/babel-zqh04P/python-GL5N5d"
but, in "/tmp/bug.org" it becomes:
"babel-zqh04P/python-GL5N5d"
(`org-babel-result-to-file' transformed it into a simpler relative
path).
The filter `org-babel-comint-async-filter' cannot spot it, because
it's searching for the exact string "/tmp/babel-zqh04P/python-tXsdFw".
Here is how to reproduce:
#+begin_src elisp :results table
(let* ((tag "/tmp/babel-zqh04P/python-tXsdFw")
(repro
(lambda (fn)
(let ((lnk
(with-temp-buffer
(org-mode)
(let* ((default-directory "/tmp")
(buffer-file-name fn)
(cbuf (clone-indirect-buffer "tmp" nil)))
(with-current-buffer cbuf
(org-babel-result-to-file tag))))))
(list fn
(not (eq nil (string-match-p (regexp-quote tag) lnk)))
lnk)))))
(cons (list "Filename" "string-match-p" "Org link")
(cons 'hline
(mapcar repro (list "/tmp/bug.org"
"/somewhere/else/bug.org")))))
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
| Filename | match-p | Org link |
|-------------------------+---------+-----------------------------------------------|
| /tmp/bug.org | nil | [[file:babel-zqh04P/python-tXsdFw]] |
| /somewhere/else/bug.org | t | [[file:../../tmp/babel-zqh04P/python-tXsdFw]] |
I don't know what a proper fix would be though.
Hoping this help,
Bruno

Thanks, I believe your diagnosis is correct, and can confirm the bug
occurs when the Org file is in /tmp. The problem goes away when
`org-link-file-path-type' is set to absolute.
I think the correct solution would be for `org-babel-insert-result' to
not insert file results (or any other special results) for async session
blocks. Perhaps in this case, `org-babel-insert-result' could return a
new result type, named "async", "future", or similar.

That will not work.
`org-babel-comint-async-filter' expects a unique result to be inserted
into Org buffer, so that it can be located, and replaced by the async
evaluation output.
So, we have to insert some kind of indicator for async result.
Of course, the existing scheme of coordination between
`org-babel-insert-result' and `org-babel-comint-async-filter' is
erroneous:
1. We have the problem with :results file value discussed here
2. We have a worse problem with :results file :file foo when the result
may not be unique
3. We have :results append/prepend completely broken because
`org-babel-comint-async-filter' simply calls
`org-babel-insert-result' implicitly assuming that the existing
indicator is replaced.
The whole thing should be re-designed.

I meant that we could return something like "async:uuid-abcd-1234" or
"async:/path/to/tmpfile", so that `org-babel-comint-async-filter' could
still find the result.

I agree that it would be good to redesign it, but am not sure where to
start.
A bit of a tangent, but if you are thinking about re-designing this,
then it may be worth considering ob-jupyter's implementation of async
sessions [1]. In particular, I believe it leaves a marker [2] where it
needs to insert the future result. I don't remember the details,
e.g. how it keeps track of which marker is for which result. But it
seems neat, and might work better for some cases such as
appending/prepending results.

Of course, we could. But that would not solve all the possible problems.
In particular, when header arguments tell Org babel to write result to a
file, returning UUID will still not work.

Markers are not as reliable as you think. If text around marker gets
deleted, the marker will still exist potentially causing the async
result to be inserted in the middle of unexpected place.
Having an actual text indicator is more reliable - if user removes it
before the async evaluation is completed, we will not write anything
unexpected.
Also,

For example,
1. Change `org-babel-comint-async-register' to return UUID and to store
PARAMS as passed by the backend (current approach with PARAMS being
derived from src blocks prevents backends to transform src block
PARAMS dynamically).
2. Change `org-babel-insert-result' to handle :async t specially,
inserting something reliable, like #+async: <UUID> in place of result
without performing extra transformations.
3. Change `org-babel-insert-result' to accept an internal parameter
that will make it replace #+async: <UUID> keyword rather than perform
normal result insertion.
4. Change `org-babel-comint-async-filter' to use the previously passed
PARAMS, remove :async t from them, and arrange the call to
`org-babel-insert-result' to replace the #+async: <UUID> keyword.

FWIW, I've been trying to use asynchronous blocks for everything, not
only the source blocks that are based on the comint mode. I think it
would be good if ob-core itself could provide an asynchronous API. I've
modified my Org so that it does have such an API. This is work in
progress; let me describe it.
I've modified ob-core itself to allow asynchronicity. In the
asynchrosous case, instead of calling:
(org-babel-execute:LANG body params)
I'm calling:
(org-babel-schedule:LANG body params handle-result)
where `org-babel-schedule:LANG' is in charge of calling `handle-result'
with the result (or the error) when it is known; `handle-result' takes
care to call `org-babel-insert-result' at the correct place (and
`org-babel-insert-result' is only called with a real result).
While the execution is pending, I'm using the same technique that Org is
using when a source block is being edited: the result is left untouched,
but below an overlay. The overlay is used to know where to insert the
result and to display the status/progress of the execution. If the file
is closed and the execution fails, nothing is lost, the old result is
still available.
If that technique looks safe enough and interesting, I can prepare a set
of patches so that we can discuss it further and, maybe, add it in Org.
Let me know,
Thanks,
Bruno

Using overlay also sounds good.
I am wondering what you do when there is no result yet or when user
edits whatever is under the overlay, but that's just a technical detail.

I don't think it's really robust yet. We'll see how to improve/change
it.
I'll prepare the set of patchs.

Sounds interesting, a couple questions:
1. Which languages have you implemented/tested this on?
2. Does it apply for sessions, nonsessions, or both?

Also interesting, I think it's worth exploring/testing this overlay idea
out. Does that mean that output is asynchronously printing into the Org
buffer? It sounds cool but I wonder if it might cause problems while
trying to edit another part of the buffer.

That all sounds reasonable...if you work on this, let me know if you

If I followed correctly, the topic switched to discussing async generally within Babel. I've started a new thread accordingly.

I've been trying to figure out how to make everything async by default. I'm super interested to see what you've come up with.
> I think it would be good if ob-core itself could provide an asynchronous API.
Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, Babel already does.
The challenge is that the Org Babel API has grown piecemeal over 14 years. It's been written by several authors with limited time and knowledge. The result, while powerful and useful, is a bit of a hodgepodge. A prime example is that the concepts of "persistence" and "synchronicity" are conflated. "Session" is often used to mean "asynchronous" even though the two ideas are orthogonal. Emacs provides primitives that could make non-session blocks asynchronous. It's historical accident that blocks aren't async by default.
For me, the issue is that the Babel API needs some high level perspective in order to make it consistent. I see the following terms as guides. If we can separate these concepts within the API, then Babel to *feel* like an API:
- "Session" means a shell environment is "persistent." Each call is executed in the same environment. State exists between calls.
- "Non-session" means a shell environment is "temporary." Each call is executed in an independent environment. State does not exist between calls.
- "Synchronous" means that execution prevents the user from editing the document while results are obtained.
- "Asynchronous" means that execution does not prevent the user from editing the document while results are obtained.

The use of the overlay is a really cool idea!
I hesitate to say that's a good way to convey success or failure. If a process failed, I want to see the output which tells me why so that I can correct it. Or, I might actually want the failure output. Maybe I want to literally demonstrate what a code failure looks like. Maybe I want to use that output in another block. For example, shell blocks have multiple output types. A shell process may return standard output/error or a failure code. The result of the failure may trigger something else.
However, using an overlay to communicate "the process is still running" could be good. We'd need to be careful about accessibility, though, and make sure the overlay is apparent, visually and otherwise.
> If that technique looks safe enough and interesting, I can prepare a set of patches so that we can discuss it further and, maybe, add it in Org.
Please do! I'm super interested. I've put a lot of thought into how we might make Babel async by default. I'm excited to see your interest in the topic and look forward to seeing what you've come up with.

Hi Matt, Jack, Ihor,
Sorry for the late reply. Cleaning the code took me longer than
expected.

I'm not using it with official org backends (yet). I'm using it with
several custom backends that I'm working on. One of the backend
delegate the block executions to emacs subprocesses: so I have a kind of
asynchronous executions for free for any language, including elisp
itself.

The new API itself is more about how to wait for and display one block
result. So, it's not really aware of sessions.
But, I usually try to think as "no session" as a "one shot" session
(like Matt wrote in his email). So, in that sense, it works for both
anyway ;-)

Currently, I've limited the progress feedback to fit on one line to
avoid anoying vertical display jumps. When the computation is
successful, the result is inserted as usual, and, that may be annoying;
when it updates a previous result of the same height, it's ok. Else, we
could fold it to stay on one line too (using the overlay), until the
user explicitly request to see it.

Thanks. I'll definitely appreciate your help, to test the current
code with the Python backend or any other backend if you prefer.

Indeed. Thank you!

I mostly think the same. Sessions (including the "none" session)
definitely need some generic API and some generic tests that all
backends could just reuse.
To execute Python blocks, using the proposed async API:
- I've (re)implemented the "asynchronous with session" case (copying/pasting
the relevant part from ob-python).
- The "synchronous case" is just artificially blocking the user until
the asynchronous result is known (which looks incredibly tricky to
implement if even possible...).
- The "no session" case is just about creating a new unique session
and throwing it away immediately.
But, some users may rely on some particular behavior, of the current
implementations, that may be hard to implement in such a generic way.

For example, shell blocks have multiple output types. A shell process may return standard output/error or a failure code. The result of the failure may trigger something else.
I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean. The API just assumes the
backend returns the outcome: either success or failure, where failure
means "no result" (the previous result, if it exists, is even preserved
in the document). The backend is free to transform a failure into a
success to make that result available though.
> However, using an overlay to communicate "the process is still running" could be good. We'd need to be careful about accessibility, though, and make sure the overlay is apparent, visually and otherwise.
You should be able to test my current implementation, see below. It's
almost too visual in my opinion. But, that's probably something that we
should make easy to configure.

Good to know!
So, here we go. You'll find attach a set of patchs. It works for me with
Emacsc 30.50 and 9.7-pre (from today).
I didn't check yet that the code and the commits follow all the
guidelines. This is just a preliminary version for feedbacks.
Corrections/critiques are welcome, but don't check the details until I
check them myself.
The 5 first patchs provide an API to handle asynchronous execution in
ob-core, i.e. an API to report progress and to insert results in the
asynchronous case. The 5th one isn't really about asynchronicity; but
it adds a new keyword `:execute-with' that allows to delegate block
executions to some other package; it's useful for testing or plugging
other execution engines.
That's a cleaned-up version of what I been using myself for a while,
with 4 different values for `:execute-with'.
The remaining patchs are new code that I've just written to show how to
use this new API.
I tried first to use it for ob-python, as an example. I just needed to
figure out where to place the callbacks ... well ... "just" ... :)
So, I decided to rewrite the whole thing, taking code from the
synchronous case (following `org-babel-python-evaluate-session'). I
also created a package that contains all the functions that should be
reusable for any language. The patch [1] adds some generic functions to
help dealing with asynchronicity (process, comint, etc.). The patch [2]
shows a new possible way to execute python code blocks, both
synchronously and asynchronously, with or without sessions. You should
just need to open [3] and follow what's written there, and execute the
existing bash and python code blocks.
Note that this will create a folder `scratch/bba-ob-core-async' in your
repository to place the temporary files there. If you know a better way
to do this, let me know, thanks.
I think the first 5 patchs could be included almost as-is in org. About
the emaining ones, I'm not sure exactly how we should proceed.
Let me know if you need help to test it.
Feedbacks, corrections, critiques, etc are most welcome!
Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH 7/8] lisp/ob-core.el: Notify when execution fails
lisp/ob-core.el (org-babel-popup-failure-details): New function.
(org-babel-execute-src-block): For synchronous execution, use
`org-babel-popup-failure-details' on failure.
(org-babel--async-feedbacks): Add call to
`org-babel-popup-failure-details' on user request.

+#+PROPERTY: HEADER-ARGS+ :eval no-export :exports both
+* Intro
+
+An org document with code blocks to help test the proposed patches.
+
+You need to load:
+ #+begin_src elisp :results silent
+ (load-file "my-async-tests.el")
+ #+end_src
+
+
+
+Emacs and org versions:
+ #+begin_src elisp
+ (mapcar (lambda (sb) (list sb (symbol-value sb)))
+ '(emacs-version org-version))
+ #+end_src
+
+ #+RESULTS:
+ | emacs-version | 30.0.50 |
+ | org-version | 9.7-pre |
+
+Note that we've disabled eval on export: export doesn't know it needs
+to wait for asynchronous results.
+
+* A simple bash example
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :header-args:bash: :execute-with my-shell-babel :nasync yes
+ :END:
+
+The package `my-async-tests.el' contains the function
+`my-shell-babel-schedule' to evaluate shell script asynchronously.
+
+The header-args properties above request asynchronous execution for
+bash (:nasync yes), and, tells ob-core to use the prefix
+`my-shell-babel' when looking for functions to evaluate a source
+block. Thus, org will delegate execution to `my-shell-babel-schedule'.
+We don't have `my-shell-babel-execute', so, in this case, :nasync must
+be yes.

+ #+begin_src bash

+ blocks (for the asynchronous case use
+ `my-org-babel-schedule', and, for the synchronous case
+ `my-org-babel-execute'). These functions are defined in [[file:my-async-tests.el]].

Thank you for sharing!
If I understand correctly, there are several independent topics the code addresses:
| topic | manner addressed |
|------------------+------------------------------------------------|
| execution status | using overlays to communicate execution status |
| locating results | using overlays to locate results |
| blocking | making all execution asynchronous |
|------------------+------------------------------------------------|
I suggest these be discussed in separate threads.

Or, I might actually want the failure output. Maybe I want to literally demonstrate what a code failure looks like. Maybe I want to use that output in another block. For example, shell blocks have multiple output types. A shell process may return standard output/error or a failure code. The result of the failure may trigger something else.

The API just assumes the backend returns the outcome: either success or failure, where failure means "no result" (the previous result, if it exists, is even preserved in the document). The backend is free to transform a failure into a success to make that result available though.
You can disregard my hesitation on this point. I had not run your code yet and had misunderstood how it worked.
Since this thread is dedicated to blocking, let me share my thoughts on that subject.

This is an interesting idea, feeding all processes through the same mechanism.
Executing a shell block requires starting a [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Processes.html][process]].
Processes are synchronous or asynchronous.
Three primitives exist in Emacs for making processes:
1. make-process (asynchronous)
2. call-process (synchronous)
3. call-process-region (synchronous)
There exist several convenience wrappers for these. AFAIK, everything reduces to these three primitives. For example, =async-shell-command= runs =call-process= and prevents blocking by appending a "&" to the command which tells the shell to run the command in the background and return control to the terminal. This background-foreground distinction is called "job control".
Output from a process typically goes to a buffer. This may be changed and instead handle output with a filter function. =call-process= has an option to directly send output to a file.
Subprocesses inherent the =default-directory= and the environment from Emacs. The environment may be changed using =process-environment=.
There are two types of asynchronous connections: "pty" ("pseudoterminal") and "pipe". The main difference is that "pty" provides a terminal-like connection which allows for things like job control (=C-c=, =C-z=, etc.).
In my previous message, I divided evaluation into 4 types:
- non-persistent vs. persistent
- synchronous vs. asynchronous
I find the approach of feeding everything through, fundamentally, =make-process= interesting because if we make a chart of the 4 types, we see some ambiguities:
| | non-persistent | persistent |
|--------------+----------------+--------------|
| synchronous | call-process | ??? |
|--------------+----------------+--------------|
| asynchronous | ??? | make-process |
|--------------+----------------+--------------|
To make a non-persistent asynchronous process, the first thing that comes to mind is =async-shell-command=. However, as the code shows, another option is to use =make-process= and throw away the state (the process buffer).
I'm not sure how we could make a persistent, synchronous process. Persistence is achieved, currently, by a process buffer. Is there another way persistence may be achieved? Of course, this ignores whether a persistent, synchronous process is even desirable. Given reliable asynchronous execution with persistence, I can't think of reason why someone would prefer a blocking operation.
All that is mainly academic. The idea I think most interesting is using a single primitive to handle all evaluation.
It idea reminded me of exploration code I wrote a while back which uses =make-process= to run all code blocks asynchronously (attached).
It works as follows. I defined a new Babel "language" called "blub". Blub could be a shell, python, ruby, whatever. I wanted to test that the implementation could work with different interpreters or compilers. Note that "blub" doesn't have any relationship to Paul Graham's blub; I just needed a name for a generic language that could be swapped out.
Attached are two files, ob-blub.el and ob-blub-test.org. Download both to the same directory. Run the first block in ob-blub-test.org. This imports ob-blub, loads it into Babel, and sets up blub to be whatever =shell-file-name= is (for example, bash). If you want to try Python or Ruby, comment out the shell configuration, uncomment the Python or Ruby implementations, and evaluate the block again. Hopefully ob-blub.el is documented sufficiently for you to experiment.
The blub implementation has the same shortcomings, at least for shells, as the current shell implementation. It has a few ideas, such as everything being asynchronous and completely removing the prompt, that may prove useful for improving Babel generally. The blub implementation is also simpler than related parts of Babel and may be useful for figuring out ways to solve the currently known shortcomings. If you run into an error during execution, you will need to call (setq my-org-babel-comint--async-uuid nil).
The challenge I've found with Babel is figuring out how to make the changes. My current approach is to address bugs and to make changes that move us toward something like the ob-blub implementation. I wonder if it might help to discuss the core ideas and use a minimal reference implementation that serves as a guide for the actual changes we make.
Curious to hear other people's thoughts!

;;; Commentary:
;;
;; A new language, blub, is defined using the Org Babel API
;; (`org-babel-execute:blub'). "Blub" is a dummy language. If blub
;; is interpreted, set the interpreter using
;; `org-babel-blub-interpreter'. Compiled languages are not
;; demonstrated here although the implementation may be extended to
;; support compiled languages.
;;
;; The code is split into three sections:
;;
;; 1. Eval
;; 2. Comint
;; 3. Blub
;;
;; Sections are based on their current implements in Org Babel. It's
;; not clear if these are the "right" categorizations. For example,
;; should comint evaluation be in ob-comint or ob-eval?
;;
;; Set the following:
;;
;; `org-babel-blub-interpreter'
;; `org-babel-blub-interpreter-args'
;; `org-babel-blub-remove-prompt-command'
;; `org-babel-blub-output-start-delimiter'
;; `org-babel-blub-output-end-delimiter'
;;
;; Sessions run in a dedicated process buffer. Output is captured
;; from between delimiters. This is similar to the current Babel
;; implementation. However, unlike the current Babel implementation,
;; both delimiters in this proof of concept are custom. The current
;; Babel implementation uses the prompt for the start delimiter which
;; causes problems when it changes.
;;
;; For sessions, only a single process may run at a time. The UUID is
;; stored in `my-org-babel-comint--async-uuid' and the associated Org
;; buffer is stored in `my-org-babel-comint--async-org-buffer'. If an
;; error occurs that prevents the end delimiter from printing,
;; manually the clear `my-org-babel-comint--async-uuid' to run blocks.
;;
;; (setq my-org-babel-comint--async-uuid nil)

For sessions, wouldn't running in a subprocess prevent the user from
directly interacting with the REPL outside of Org? If so, that's a
problem. Org-babel sessions need to play nicely with inferior Python,
inferior ESS, and other interactive comint modes.

I suggest to keep these patches on a public branch somewhere, see:
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#patches
"When discussing important changes, it is sometimes not so useful to
send long and/or numerous patches.
In this case, you can maintain your changes on a public branch of a
public clone of Org and send a link to the diff between your changes
and the latest Org commit that sits in your clone."
I tried running your example on emacs29 using
emacs -q -L /path/to/org-mode/lisp my-async-tests.org
but it fails with the error below. Also "make" gives a bunch of
compilation warnings (which I've put at the bottom).

I don't remember the details, but my past self [1] thought it would be
good to find a way to replace `process-file' with `make-process' in
`org-babel--shell-command-on-region' or `org-babel-eval', and it seems
you are thinking along those lines with `my-org-babel-eval-async'. Hope
you're able to make progress on this and get the improvements into
ob-eval.el eventually.

Thanks for the code!
It is a lot more that I expected.
I have many questions ;)

I think that it is important to think about sessions. For non-sessions,
we may execute the code in parallel, disregarding already running
execution. In contrast, for sessions, we need to maintain some queue and
wait until previous execution finishes before running next (if multiple
session blocks are executed in quick succession).
It may also be necessary to provide an UI listing the queued and running
execution. Users should be able to stop "stale" processes if they are
defunc (consider infinite loop).

Let's not worry about "jumps" yet. It is a minor issue that can be
easily solved.
What is more important is when users, for example, remove the whole
subtree containing the place where the execution result is to be
inserted. Or when users perform edits at or around that place where the
result is to be inserted. Or consider subtree with pending result
refiled elsewhere (different file or different place in the same file);
or archived.
Or consider user running an src block, quickly editing it, and then
running again. What should we do then? Should we stop the first running
process?

I have several general questions:
- what if append/prepend to result asynchronously?
- what if we replace the result, call async evaluation two times, and they arrive in opposite order (first called is calculated after the second)?
- on failure, Org babel sometimes uses ~org-babel-eval-error-notify~. How will it interact with asynchronous evaluation? What if we have multiple simultaneously arriving error notifications?
Example: try running
#+begin_src bash
idontexist
#+end_src

Note that we already have a WIP an asynchronous API in the works.
Check out `org-async-call' in
https://code.tecosaur.net/tec/org-mode/src/branch/dev/lisp/org-macs.el#L377
If possible, we should reuse it.

AFAIK, aside from appending "&", =make-process= is the only way. It would probably make sense to continue using =shell= though. If I understand correctly, you (and others) jump between the Org buffer block and the comint buffer?

No. These are about the patch. And have nothing to do with
`org-async-call', which is just a way to call and queue async processes.
`org-async-call' was written for async latex preview, but its interface
should be generic enough to be reused for babel.

It looks like the main remaining blocker is the lack of LaTeX snippet

Doing everything asynchronously is not always desired.
Consider, for example,
#+begin_src bash
echo "Contents" > /tmp/tmpfile
#+end_src bash
#+begin_src bash
cat /tmp/tmpfile # I must run after /tmp/tmpfile is created!
#+end_src
Also, using "print" statements to create output delimiters might
sometimes be tricky.
If I remember correctly Ruby repl is asynchronous and sometimes produces
unexpected artefacts when you send multiple commands in quick
succession. The commands may be executed in different order than you may expect.

You "just" [1] need a way of stating dependencies :-)

[1] In quotes, because this opens a vast space of interesting

the compiler backend builders have their dependency graphs.

Let's not jump into this rabbit hole yet before we have async code

My take is: it's never too early to *think* about it (and to have
a look what others are doing), but it might yet be too early to
design something.
Other than that... rabbit holes is what makes things interesting.

Yes, I typically use ob-R and ob-python in this way. Aside from the
convenience of interacting directly with the REPL, the comint mode may
provide other useful facilities, for example in ob-R the inferior ESS
mode provides completion that is aware of the objects in the current
session.
However I think modifying `org-babel-eval' will mainly be useful to
provide async to the nonsession users. Comint-based sessions mainly use
functionality from ob-comint.el, not ob-eval.el, and I think that the
use cases are different enough that they shouldn't be merged into a
single implementation.

Actually my patch is only about reporting execution status and
inserting results, in a generic way, in ob-core. I provided some demo
code on top of them, just to show how it could be used.

For example, =async-shell-command= runs =call-process= and prevents blocking by appending a "&" to the command which tells the shell to run the command in the background and return control to the terminal. This background-foreground distinction is called "job control".

I've reached the same conclusion. As I wanted one simple
implementation, I was thinking about using 'make-process', but, as we
have to deal with the output manually and use a process sentinel, and,
as offering a REPL to the user is nice, my personal pick is to use a
plain shell with comint.

One wonderful thing about using =default-directory= is that, if done
right, tramp will automatically handle executions on one or more remote
computers.

I'm personally ignoring the difference between pty and pipe: as I
don't use the terminal features, it doesn't really matter to me.

If I understand correcly, "persistent" here means to preserve some
state between executions. They are definitely other way to preserve
and provide a state.
If you focus on processes only, it's probably OK. But, if you use
threads or some other kinds of asynchronicity, that might be too
limiting to require a buffer and a process.

I'm not so sure. If the success of an execution is really important,
and, intrinsically unreliable (like a network connection), and, it
only takes a few seconds, I'll probably choose synchronous execution,
just to see that everything is OK, before moving to my next task.

This imports ob-blub, loads it into Babel, and sets up blub to be whatever =shell-file-name= is (for example, bash). If you want to try Python or Ruby, comment out the shell configuration, uncomment the Python or Ruby implementations, and evaluate the block again. Hopefully ob-blub.el is documented sufficiently for you to experiment.
Thanks for sharing. I didn't have time to try it yet. But it looks
like you could use the 'execute-with' keyword that my patchs provide.
That way, you may redirect evaluation to use your "blub"
implementation, and still use the real language name for your code
blocks (that way, org knows how to fontify them, edit them, etc). And, you
will not have to manually modify and reevaluate your elisp when
switching languages.
> The blub implementation has the same shortcomings, at least for shells, as the current shell implementation. It has a few ideas, such as everything being asynchronous and completely removing the prompt, that may prove useful for improving Babel generally. The blub implementation is also simpler than related parts of Babel and may be useful for figuring out ways to solve the currently known shortcomings. If you run into an error during execution, you will need to call (setq my-org-babel-comint--async-uuid nil).
I'll try it. Thanks,
> The challenge I've found with Babel is figuring out how to make the changes. My current approach is to address bugs and to make changes that move us toward something like the ob-blub implementation. I wonder if it might help to discuss the core ideas and use a minimal reference implementation that serves as a guide for the actual changes we make.
>
> Curious to hear other people's thoughts!
One think that comes to mind is to check that our testsuite covers
everything we might break.
If 'execute-with' gets added to org (from my patchs), that may provide
an easy way to test/compare several execution engines. I'm thinking
about modifying my patch to provide a 'feedbacks-with' keyword so that
we can also test/compare different ways to report the execution status
and outcome.

Good point. The REPL should be created in the same subprocess; the
REPL display and interaction must happen in the user main emacs. If
the REPL is based on comint, it should be relatively easy to
implement.

With this solution, the user and the REPL/execution will be in
separate processes; so there will be disavantages. For basic
interactions, mostly based on text input/output, it should work well.

Good point. I'll switch to such a solution as soon as possible.

My bad: I should have compiled the demo code in a standalone emacs.
I forgot to require some libraries: cl-lib and org-id.
I've now tested with your command line (thanks). It should now
work. Sorry about that.

I should have fixed everything; no more (new) warnings.
Thanks!
Please find attached the new set of patchs. I'll switch to using a
clone and a branch soon, in case if you prefer to wait.
Thanks again!

+ #+end_src
+
+

+** A simple bash example
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :header-args:bash: :execute-with my-shell-babel :nasync yes
+ :END:
+
+The package `my-async-tests.el' contains the function
+`my-shell-babel-schedule' to evaluate shell script asynchronously.
+
+The header-args properties above request asynchronous execution for
+bash (:nasync yes), and, tells ob-core to use the prefix
+`my-shell-babel' when looking for functions to evaluate a source
+block. Thus, org will delegate execution to `my-shell-babel-schedule'.
+We don't have `my-shell-babel-execute', so, in this case, :nasync must
+be yes.
+
+Examples taken from the org mailing list and from worg.

Note that only the first 5 patchs are real patchs. The remaining things

I agree. My proposed patch leaves this open to further work.
My proposed patch allows to have one way, in ob-core, to display
progress of asynchronous executions: like not started, 10%, success,
failed; and a way to plug in asynchronous executions in ob-core.
I've included some demo code just to show how that API could be used.

That looks nice but that may be too limiting. Like it will probably forbid
to execute something asynchronously using elisp threads. Anyway, that
outside the intended scope of my set of patchs.

My patch definitely needs to address those, even if only by raising an
error.

To keep things simple and generic, I would just forbid the user to
reschedule the task until the previous outcome is available.

You mean if org is executing several times the same code concurrently?
I think we should forbid it.

"One execution at a given time" will solve this too :-)

In the asynchronous case, I've decided to leave the overlay in place
in case of errors, with the error description. Clicking on that error
pops up the same kind of popups as in the synchronous case. You can
give it a try using examples of errors my demo file:
scratch/bba-ob-core-async/my-async-tests.org
(Please use the updated set of patchs that I've sent today, else, you
will have to fix the required libraries).

Thanks. I will have a look at it.

May you please clarify if adding the new code block parameter that
defines custom execute function is something you want to add to Org mode
or just a helper code to demo you main patch?

This may not be as trivial as one might think.
Consider
#+name: foo
#+begin_src bash :async yes
...
#+end_src
#+results: foo
<pending results>
Another code block with the same name will write results under
#+results: foo
#+name: foo
#+begin_src bash :async yes
...
#+end_src
We can currently have multiple code blocks writing to the same place.
And async execution should not only check is the current src block is
scheduled, but also whether we are attempting to write to a place where
no other running block is scheduled to write.

Error buffer does not necessarily appear on failure. When the code leads
to process writing to stderr, we also display error buffer. Even if the
process exits with 0 code.
Also, your code currently creates overlays unconditionally.
However, when we have :results silent or :results none, Org babel must
not modify buffer.

Yes. (I thought about adding it in a separate request; but that would be
simpler to include it.)

Today, the asynchronous execution is attached to the result; the source
code itself is not locked and stays editable.
With the current implementation, trying your example, the second execution fails with:
Error running timer: (user-error "Cannot modify an area being
updated")
So, it's already OK I guess.
I should improve the behavior (to fail before launching the second
execution). But, the current design should work in that case.

Got it. The current design adds the popup on failure; I should make it
more flexible to allow to configure a popup on success too.

Yes. I'll fix it (and that one was in my TODO list :-))
But if the execution fails, I guess I'll need to provide some feedbacks
anyway, but I don't know yet how (asynchronous popups are not an option,
modifying the file neither).
Thanks for your review and questions,
Bruno

I have doubts about how useful such parameter would be for _users_. It
is certainly useful for developers of new babel backends, but I do not
see how users will use it.
I'd prefer to discuss this in a separate thread.

By popup, do you mean an overlay where clicking on it will raise the
usual `org-babel-eval-error-notify' buffer?
If yes, what happens if a user executes a code block, it fails, and the
user executes it again without looking at the error? (Second execution
may be triggered from a different place, indirectly, via noweb ref or
similar).

We need something more than just an overlay. Maybe some kind of babel
execute history (in tabulated-list-mode buffer), keeping information
about execution stats and stderr data.
We may provide a mode-line or fringe indicator that will warn user if
something went wrong with recent executions. Something akin compile-mode
mode line indicator listing errors and warnings during compilation.
(Handling asynchronous messages is actually a complex topic. It has been
previously discussed on emacs-devel as well. See
<https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/838t59j821.fsf@gnu.org/>)

Sure. I'll keep it for an other thread.

Current behavior is to remove the error, and, then re-execute: the
previous errors are gone. My guess is that this could be improve later,
without breaking the API.

I was thinking about using a fringe indicator, for warnings on success (as I'm
removing all overlays on success).
Keeping a buffer of all asynchronous executions looks like a good idea.
I'll think about it.

I'll look at this. Thanks!
I'll publish a branch soon; it will be a major rewrite of my current
proposal. It should be less confusing and, I hope, address some of your
comments.
Thanks again for your questions and feedbacks,

You're welcome and thanks for sharing your ideas.
Any lack of comments from me recently is just limited time and trying to focus on maintenance.

I finally got a new version. I've renamed the proposed feature "pending
contents", that is, some contents that something will update *later*.
With that feature, source code blocks and dynamic blocks can be made
asynchronous … and more!
I've publish the proposed changes as a branch. You can fecth that
branch there:
┌────
│ repo: https://framagit.org/brubar/org-mode-mirror
│ branch: bba-pending-contents
└────
The file [my-async-tests.org] describes the proposed changes, its
implementation and contains examples to play with it (shell, python,
ruby, results{append,prepend,silent}, inline blocks, multithreading,
dynamic asynchronous blocks, source codes that depend on other blocks
{post, stdin}, etc.).
I've tried to fully describe the feature in the new section "Pending
contents", in the file `lisp/org-macs.el'.
Testing it in a bare Emacs should now work (I'm using 30.0.50).
*DO NOT TEST* in your production Emacs: this is *alpha* software and it
hooks itself deeply into Emacs (kill hooks), and (only when trying the
multithread examples) uses thread mutexes&locks.
Here is a simple recipe to test the proposed "pending contents" feature:
┌────
│ git clone -b bba-pending-contents https://framagit.org/brubar/org-mode-mirror
│ cd org-mode-mirror
│ make compile
│ cd scratch/bba-pending-contents/
│ emacs -q -L ../../lisp my-async-tests.org
└────
Thanks you all for your previous comments. I hope I've addressed most
of them.
Comments, critiques, ideas, corrections are most welcome.
Thanks,
Bruno

I have one general concern about the implementation.
Overlays are not transferred when a new indirect buffer is created (for
example, by org-capture, or by user). So, it will be (1) impossible to
see pending overlays in indirect buffers; (2) user edits of pending text
from indirect buffer will not be prevented.

If I understand correctly, you would prefer a solution that relies on
text properties ? (I didn't leak the overlay details in the API, so, it
should not be too hard to switch to text properties, except for possible
conflicts with other existing properties).
What about markers ? Are they OK ?
Thanks,
Bruno

Yes, I think. Might also try to mirror overlays, but that's problematic
in practice.
However, you cannot use 'before-string/'after-string for overlays.
> What about markers ? Are they OK ?
Markers always point to a specific buffer.
However, for indirect buffers, the text and text properties are shared.
So, editing in one buffer will be automatically reflected in all the clones.

I now think that overlays are the right way; the /pending content/ is
attached to one buffer: a base or a clone; this is for the user to
decide.
I will manually add text properties, below the overlay, to mark the text
as /pending/, so that pending contents will be visible and read-only in
all other buffers, base or indirect ones.
Cloning buffers is easy to test. I'm not sure which scenario I should
use to test org-capture though.
I'll update my branch with that improvement soon.
Thanks Ihor!

Hi,
After some work, some bug fixes and a few segfaults (using indirect
buffers, see bug#69529), I pushed a new version. The main changes are:
• Handle indirect buffers: the pending content belongs to the buffer
that started it (using text properties to mirror overlays).
• Use the fringe to indicate success or failure.
• Describe the pending content (past&present) when the user clicks it
(pending, success or failure, time, duration, log, etc.).
• Improve the logging API and provide examples (may be used to collect
stderr for example).
As before, the org file describes how to test it, see the file
[scratch/bba-pending-contents/my-async-tests.org] (direct link below).
Comments, critiques, ideas, corrections are most welcome.
Thanks,
Bruno

Thanks!
I have some minor concerns about implementation, but you clearly
demonstrated the things can be working in general.
Let me now zoom out all the way down to org-pending library design.
While reading the library header and `org-pending' docstring (btw, it
should probably be a separate library, not a part of org-macs), I felt
confused about terminology and also had déjà vu's about what org-pending
does.
More or less, org-pending implements Elisp asynchronous process control,
but the processes are associated with region, not the whole buffer.
Hence, I feel that we should adopt terminology similar to the existing
terminology for processes - process filters, process sentinels, sending
signals to processes, etc. And similar API.
Also, I am not sure if I like the idea of exposing raw PINFO alist and
mutating it. In particular, I have doubts about mutating CONTENT.
What we might do instead is implement PINFO as struct with custom
accessors/setters.
WDYT?

I was feeling more and more like squatting the wrong file :-)
Would "lisp/org-pending.el" be OK ? Or do you see a better place/name ?

The current `org-pending' doesn't know what a process is, or a thread.
The job of org-pending is only to let Emacs know that a given region
will be updated at some point later (much like what
`org-edit-src-code' does, when a source block is being edited
manually).
I've re-read the Elisp manual about asynchronous processes. The only
thing that seemed obvious to me, was to replace "feedbacks-handler"
with "sentinel". I also tried to simplify things and use REGION
instead of CONTENT where it make sense. Thanks.
Do you see something else ?

I went for this simple alist because it's more flexible (easy to add new
bindings) and less code than using a struct. And Org already uses lists
like this (params, info, etc.). Mutating CONTENT (or other essential
data) would be a very bad idea indeed; but it's like that for pretty
much everything with elisp.
I'm OK to rewrite it using a cl-defstruct (to be honnest, I just
flipped a coin to decide between a struct or an alist :) ).
I'll push my new version after relocating everything into its own
file. Let me know if lisp/org-pending.el is OK.
Thanks.
Bruno

org-pending sounds fine. Maybe org-pending-text to be more explicit.

Similar to process API, your library provides means to interact with
process associated with the pending text - create them (40.4 Creating an
Asynchronous Process), handle feedback (40.9.2 Process Filter
Functions), handle on-done/fail/etc (40.10 Sentinels: Detecting Process
Status Changes), kill/cancel execution (40.5 Deleting Processes, 40.8
Sending Signals to Processes), insert-log (strerr in Emacs processes)
list pending (40.6 Process Information), org-pending-on-kill-buffer
(40.11 Querying Before Exit), get information (`process-attributes',
40.12 Accessing Other Processes)
I simply went across 40 Processes section of Elisp manual and I see
parallels for pretty much every subsection; but the terminology _and
API_ are different.

I think that I need to elaborate.
It is not necessarily a matter of alist vs. struct, but more about the
API. I do not like the idea of mutating the alist entries directly. I'd
rather expose an API to work with "pending" as an opaque object - send
signals to it, get status, etc.
struct is slightly better here because it automatically defines setters
and getters for all the slots without a need to write extra boilerplate
code.

I've picked: "org-pending"; it's shorter and can by used as a prefix.

I rewrote the API, rename many things, moved the code around and
sorted everything into heading/subheading sections. This is hopefully
less confusing and a lot simpler; and the documentation hopefully
explains better how to use it.
The updated section "Commentary", in org-pending, describes the 3 steps
that are needed to mark and use a pending region: a PENREG (I've renamed
"PINFO" to "PENREG", for PENding REGion, more specific).
I tried to stick with the process terminology when relevant (mostly
kill-query and sentinel).
It doesn't really match the process API, but, now, it should be easier to
understand why.

Done. Thanks!
I added a function `org-pending-user-edit': it allows to edit a region
using org-pending and `string-edit' (see org-pending.el).
I also added an other execution engine (DEMO_ONLY), that allows to
execute any elisp asynchronously, using callbacks (see
`my-use-callbacks-schedule', in my-async-tests.el), and in
my-async-tests.org, near the multithreading examples.
To test, follow the org file [my-async-tests.org] (see direct link below).
WDYT of this version ?
Thanks!

Thanks! It does look more clear.

I feel that org-pending-penreg (org-pending-<pending region>) is
redundant. Maybe better use org-pending-region?
> WDYT of this version ?
Comments on org-pending-pendreg struct:
1. It is not clear why you need a separate ~virtual~ field. When
~region~ is nil it already implies that the pending region is
virtual.
2. ~id~ field is semi-internal and assumed to be a number.
Maybe we can do something more similar to Emacs process API:
(make-process &rest ARGS)
...
:name NAME -- NAME is name for process. It is modified if necessary
to make it unique.
We can replace id with human-readable name that can also be supplied
when creating a pending region
3. ~source~ field must match the ~region~ marker buffer. Then, why do we
need this field at all? May as well just use (marker-buffer (car region))
On the design of ~org-pending~ and ~org-pending-task-connect~:
1. I feel confused about the overall design of the interaction between
pending region and the associated task.
Functions like ~org-pending-task-send-update~ imply that pending
region is rather decoupled from from associated task and the task
should arrange manually for sending updates to the pending region
object.
On the other hand, there is ~task-connection~ that is used to kill
associated task/process or to "await" for it. This time, pending
region is strongly coupled with the task, killing it upon deleting
the pending region.
I think that we need more (optional) coupling between pending region
and the associated task. We should be able to get more information
about the task from pending region side - get logs, current status,
exit status, etc.
More specifically, I think that we need (1) allow to pass task as an
argument for ~org-pending~. (2) In ~org-pending-task-connect~, we
should allow the task to be a process or timer object. Then, we can
automatically arrange retrieving process/timer status from the task:
Use process sentinel (maybe, modifying existing via ~add-function~)
to arrange process status changes to be automatically submitted to
the pending region;
Get log updates via process filter
Kill process via ~kill-process~
Similar for timers.
If the argument to ~org-pending-task-connect~ is a lambda, we can use
the current approach you implemented on the branch.
2. ~org-pending-task-send-update~ name is confusing - it reads as if we
send an update _to_ the task. Maybe better ~org-pending-region-update~?
Then, we might even drop ~-sentinel~ field in org-pending-penreg
object and instead implement that hard-coded ~update~ lambda from
~org-pending~ as a part of ~org-pending-region-update~.
3. I feel that different handling of "owner" and indirect buffers is not
right.
From the user perspective, it does not matter whether we run an src
block from one or another indirect buffers - it makes sense to see
the status in all the indirect org-mode buffers. Maybe we can hook
into org-mode's fontification and display pending overlays in all the
indirect buffers.
Further, it is very confusing that running src block twice from the
same buffer is not the same as running the same src block from one
buffer and then from another indirect buffer. The current
implementation of ~remove-previous-overlays~ makes such distinction
for reasons I do not understand.
4. I have questions about ~handle-result~ argument in ~org-pending~.
It is only called on success, but I can easily see that we need to
handle things specially on failure as well. For example, insert
stderr or perform other actions like displaying some buffer.
Or we may even hook some special action to clicking on status
overlay. For example, clicking on "failure" status overlay may raise
stderr log.

PENREG is the name of the structure; the "org-pending" is the
mandatory library prefix; this mechanically gives the name. A PENDREG
object is not a "region" in Emacs sense.
Do you see a better name for the structure PENREG, so that it doesn't
sound like a "region" ?

It's a constant. Calling a function looks more like we need to
recompute it each time, and, we could even change it. And
cl-defstruct writes the function for us.
Do you prefer a manually written function ?

The "source" is the region requesting the update. The pending region
is the "target" of the update, i.e. the region that will be updated.
For example, in DEMO_ONLY, with org-babel, these 2 regions are never
the same:
1. the source is the source code block,
2. the target (pending region) is the result region.
I tried to improve the documentation of `org-pending-penreg' (source &
region).

Exactly: the task implementation must use these ~org-pending-task-XXX~
functions to send updates to one (or more) pending region(s).

These are optional features; and only ~org-pending~ will know if and
when those might be useful. That's why the task needs to provide
callbacks here.
1. cancel: Emacs may, in exceptional cases only,
send a "cancel" to the task, meaning, "The user destroyed the
pending region, and thus, Emacs will not use any update for it".
2. insert-details: If, and only if, the user decides to
investigate what happened, Emacs will ask the task if it has any
details to add, that might help the user (like exit-code for an
OS process, stderr for an OS process or link to a log file, etc.)
3. get (await): It's an (unofficial) way, (in the degenerate case
where the task implementation gives up on asynchronicity) to
block until the outcome is available. `org-pending' itself
doesn't use it; DEMO_ONLY uses it with org-babel to define the
synchronous executions.

That's actually what I started with, but, I couldn't make it work.
Breaking it like this is what allowed me to get the most generic and
simplest API that works for anything: threads, callbacks, OS processes,
timers.
If org-pending takes a "task" as an argument, then, we have to define
a universal API for whatever a "task" might be: threads, processes,
callbacks, timers, etc. and any combination of them.
It looks simpler to say that the "task" (whatever "task" means), MAY
call:
- org-pending-task-send-update (:progress xxx1)
- org-pending-task-send-update (:progress xxx2)
- org-pending-task-send-update (:progress xxx3)
then, finally MUST either call:
- org-pending-task-send-update (:success RESULT)
or:
org-pending-task-send-update (:failure RESULT)

It looks to me like a very specific case (one OS process for one
pending region); and I'm not sure how useful it would be in practice.
But this could easily be implemented on top of the existing API.

Same, it could easily be defined on top of the existing API.

Yes ... I wanted a common prefix for the 3 functions that a "task"
implementation is allowed to use:
- org-pending-task-connect,
- org-pending-task-send-update,
- org-pending-task-not-implemented.
It's not confusing if one ignores the common prefix :-)
I've renamed all these functions from "org-pending-task-" to
"org-pending-ti-" where "ti" stands for "task implementation".

That would require to manually capture (dump/load) the context that
the sentinel closure is automatically capturing.
Why would it be better ? Debugging purposes ?
In this case, the current context is (currently) very small, and there
is an obvious place where to dump/load, so, just tell me if you want
me to eliminate that closure.

I just tried to followe Emacs: a buffer owns its overlays; a pending
region is (kind of) an overlay. Thus, a buffer owns its pending
region.

Well ... "adding overlays in indirect buffers using font-lock" looks
like a very bumpy road to me ... (being very positive, assuming there
is even a road there ... :-) ). As jit-lock is explicitly disabled in
indirect buffers, I'm not even sure what it would technically mean.

Technically, the outcomes are overlays too; thus, they belong to
one buffer.
If a user created an indirect buffer to focus on some source blocks,
he should expect to manage everything about them from that buffer.
... that looks to me like a plausible explanation that matches the
technical limitations :-)
We might be able to add some other workarounds for indirect buffers,
to provide seamless switches between buffers. But would that really
be worth it?
In summary, about indirect buffers, I'm not sure it's a good idea to
try to handle them. I didn't do much with them, but, I'll already was
able to segfault Emacs. I would prefer to put the no-clone-indirect
property to the org-mode personally :-)
Couldn't we just to forbid "pending regions" in indirect buffers ?
(pending regions don't exist today, so, that doesn't look that bad, at
least for now)
> 4. I have questions about ~handle-result~ argument in ~org-pending~.

Yes. It means Org needs to handle the exact same result as in the
synchronous case, and, it must handle it in exactly the same way.
That's a design choice.
That's probably why it was easy to write the org-babel examples in
DEMO_ONLY; and they already handle most of the standard Org parameters:
async & sync, session & no session, append/prepend/post/stdin/var, etc.

It's already there, no?
If you click on any result (success or failure, inline block or not,
even dynamic blocks), Emacs pops up a buffer with all the details
(source, start, end, duration, stderr, etc.). The function
`org-pending-describe-penreg' defines what is inserted. A given task is
free to insert log, links, widgets, images, diffs, etc. (by providing
the relevant :insert-details method).
These are design choices that are relevant here:
1. Do not differ from the synchronous case.
2. Do not delete a valid result until you know that you have
something better (where a progress or a failure is not "better").
3. Do not interrupt the user with popups.
If, in the synchronous case, org-babel writes some logs, then the task
must report a success to org-pending so that Org just behaves the
same. If the task reports a failure, the user keeps the previous
content.
We could modify how ob-core uses org-pending, adding some options if
some users would like errors to be written down using some Org syntax.
I've pushed my update to the public repo (sorry, forced push again due
to some mistakes).

Library prefix is also a part of the name and delivers useful
information. "org-pending-region" and "region" and not the same names.
We make use of prefix semantic in various places:
- org-export-backend, implying not just "backend", but also "export"
- org-cite-processor, implying not just "processor", but also "cite"
- org-lint-checker - "org-lint" + "checker"
- org-element-deferred - "org-element" + "deferred"
So, there is no need to duplicate information from the prefix - it is an
integral part of the struct name. Doing otherwise would go again the
existing naming in Org code base.

Either a function or a clear indication in the docstring that ~virtual~
and ~region~ are connected and both read-only.
Also, ~virtual~ field is unused. So, maybe we can even drop it
completely. We can always add new fields in future, if a need arises.

The docstring of `org-pending' states that it is a buffer position:
The SOURCE is the buffer position that requested this pending region.

I am wondering why source must be a buffer position.
What if we want to mark a region pending for some task not associated
with a source? And why do we need to know the source at all?

I have to say that I am confused about "insert-details" part. Mostly
because it is not per se connected to the associated task. It is rather
an additional handler used to provide debug information about the task
status and outcome.
AFAIU, it is conceptually very similar to HANDLE-RESULT function.
I think that rather than handing HANDLE-RESULT and also TASK-CONTROL, we
may reduce everything to a single "handler" object that will serve as a
way for PENREG to communicate back to Elisp. That way, we do not need to
have a concept of a "task". Instead, it will be a familiar async API
with ability to (1) create (2) send signals to (3) receive signals from
PENREG object.
`org-pending' will be the entry point to create PENREG object.
`org-pending-ti-send-update' (or maybe simply
`org-pending-send-update'?) will be a way to send data to PENREG object.
HANLDER will be another object we may expose via something like
(org-pending-handler (&key on-success-function on-cancel-function on-await on-insert-logs) ...)
Then, PENREG will call appropriate handler function as needed.

I still feel confused. As stated above, it might be a good idea to get
rid of the concept of "task" completely.

Yes. Lexical context is implicit and harder to debug, while storing
necessary data explicitly in the struct slots is more robust as we are
very clear which context is intended to be captured.

I do not think that it is a good analogy. Not when we also mark the text
read-only in all the indirect buffers as well.
Let me state my idea differently - if some text in buffer is "pending",
it should be visible in all indirect buffers. Otherwise, as a user, I
may be confused why some parts of the buffer are read-only.

Right. font-lock is linked to text properties, so font-lock in indirect
buffers is finicky (it relies upon text properties to function).
We might try to brew something with `pre-redisplay-functions', but let's
not dive into that rabbit hole for now.

This sounds like trying to fit (by force) expectations to technical
limitations. As a user, I do not really manage everything from the same
buffer and do not expect that Org mode expects me to do so :)
But let's postpone indirect buffer discussion to later and focus on more
high-level design first.

We cannot do it. People use indirect buffers with Org mode extensively.

This might be ok. But we should be prepared that "read-only" on the
pending regions is not going to be reliable - the regions marked pending
can be changed out of sight.

Your thinking also makes sense, if I use a different definition of
"failure" (in the context of PENREG, not in the context of exit code of
the attached process)

Hi Ihor,
Thanks for your review and detailed explanations.

Got it. Thanks for the explanation.
I've found a better name: I'm now calling it a "lock". So I renamed
"PENREG" into "REGLOCK" as "region lock". The structure is now
`org-pending-reglock'.

The region is not allowed to be nil anymore. All "virtual" issues
are solved! :)

Good point. It was to allow the user to quickly jump to the source
code block; I removed it from org-pending.

You're right: it was confusing. It's now like a hook, that
org-pending-describe-reglock will use. It should now be clearer that
it's for "information purposes" only.

I removed the task-control, and, the concept of "task". HANDLE-RESULT
is gone from org-pending. `org-pending' has a new keyword: :on-outcome
that will allow to do anything, both on success and on failure.

As the task-control is now gone:
- get/await is gone,
- cancel is now a hook/function of REGLOCK,
- insert-details is now a hook/function too of REGLOCK.

You're describing the current implementation ... at least, what I
tried to do :)
With the current implementation, they should be clearly visible in all
buffers, using the secondary-selection face. If they are not, it's
because Org is explicitly removing some text properties.
Oh, I see ... sorry: don't test indirect buffers with empty results, as
Org is almost always removing custom faces on "#+RESULT:" (IIUC, Org
doesn't comply with font-lock-face).

org-pending now takes an :on-outcome callback: we can now decide what
to do both on success and on failure, and insert things in the org
document in all cases if needed.
Let me know what you think about this new version,
Thanks again for your help!

I have a further request on interaction with penreg objects.
I feel that it is not ideal that overlays associated with penreg objects
cannot be fully controlled by the callers.
In particular, I'd like to see some way to
1. Create penreg object without locking the region, so that scheduled-at
time is not set immediately and status overlay is not displayed.
Then, `org-pending-send-update' could send :schedule signal to
perform actual lock.
2. Act on the outcome overlays - there is currently no way to remove
them using penreg object. Maybe :cancel signal? Canceled penreg
objects can then be garbage-collected from the manager.
Also, the top-level commentary is getting incomplete and out-of-sync at
this point. May you work towards more detailed top-level description of
the library? This will make your ideas more explicit and make life
easier for me during the further review (now, I have to guess what you
meant by some parts of the code).

Is there any reason why you hide the extra information behind :-alist
filed? Why not directly adding extra fields with proper documentation?

+1 for the full name.
Searching 'M-x' for 'region' gives 229 results on my Emacs, so there is
a precedent. In fact, when I first read the name 'reglock', I took
'reg' for *not* a region, but register or registry, precisely because
Emacs consistently spells the word out in full.

It's more about being one word than being short, and being a new and
opaque word. REGLOCK is a new technical term; it's definition is the
cl-defstruct. For normal use, this is just a black box to pass
around.
I'll probably switch to using just "lock".

I'm trying to limit the public API surface. I don't think we should
leak that we are currently using a mix of overlays and text
properties.

Using the term "region" was confusing, sorry. That's why I switched
to region "lock". I don't think there is a use to create a lock that
doesn't lock.
Also, that might be tricky to implement: `org-pending-send-update' is
called asynchronously, from the user point of view. Having regions
that suddenly become locked, independently of what the user is
currently doing (if we implement the :schedule message), might be
difficult.
What use do you have in mind ?
> 2. Act on the outcome overlays - there is currently no way to remove

I've added a funcion `org-pending-delete-outcome-marks' to manually
delete outcome marks that are in a given region.
Else, everything is handled automatically. Once the outcome is known,
the reglock is dead (not live-p). org-pending may leave outcome marks
about the outcomes (outcome marks are optional). The outcome marks
automatically disappear if the user remove the section, or, if a new
lock is created for the same region.
> Maybe :cancel signal? Canceled penreg
> objects can then be garbage-collected from the manager.
Cancel is handled by sending a failure message (see
`org-pending-cancel'). It's customizable using the reglock field
~org-pending-reglock-user-cancel-function~, which can decide what to
do (like kill a process) and which can send a better outcome.
Standard 'cancel' leaves a failure outcome mark.
I've added garbage collections of useless reglocks (success or
failure): see `org-pending--mgr-garbage-collect'.

Sorry. I tried hard to keep it in sync with all the modifications.
I found it too much work, and, possibly overwhelming for the reader,
to explain everything in the top-level "Commentary" section.
That's why I deleted everything that wasn't mandatory to understand
the core features.
Everything should be documented as elisp documentation strings,
following the documentation of `org-pending' and
`org-pending-send-update', and, from code comments.

Sorry, and thank you again for your time.
I tried to improve the overall documentation. I hope it's going to be
easier for you, and others.

To hide them, indeed :)
The API for 'get-status and 'get-live-p are
`org-pending-reglock-status' and `org-pending-reglock-live-p' (they
are read-only). The API for the new `useless-p' is
`org-pending-reglock-useless-p' (it's read-only too).
The fields anchor-ovl, region-ovl, on-outcome, set-status and
creation-point are the dump of the closure context, so that
org-pending doesn't rely anymore on a closure to handle updates; I've
rewritten that recently. Nobody is supposed to use or change those
values, except the update process.
IMHO, dumping those as fields in the lock structure would be more
confusing and fragile than keeping those out of sight. I could add
comments when they are created/used in the code to help understand how
they are used.
I've added a new macro `org-pending-updating-region' that locks a
region while executing its body.
I've pushed a new version. The documentation in org-pending should
now be in sync, sorry.
Let me know what you think,
Thanks,
Bruno

Thanks for your input.
Note that "reglock" is the current technical name, an implementation
detail, and for developer only. The only current command using that
term (that shows up using M-x) is a debugging internal command
(org-pending--describe-reglock-at-point).
I'm thinking about using just "lock" but I'll keep using "reglock" for
now, as it's easier to search/replace, until the public API is
finalized.

Let me rephrase my concern - I do not like that after reglock is no
longer live (got success/failure signal), there is no way to clean up the
visual hints associated with this particular reglock.

I was mostly confused about linkage between "visual hints" in buffer and
how they are connected with reglock object. You may discard this

I do not like this.
I'd like the Elisp program that creates the reglock to be able to
clean up any visual hints associated with it. A function doing it for a
given region cannot do this AFAIU.

Note that this function is not documented anywhere other than in reglock
class documentation. In general, I am confused about your overall design
of the user interaction with the locks.
The updated top commentary explains well how Elisp programs can send
data to the locks, but it does not say anything about how Elisp programs
can receive the data.
Also, I'd like to see more information in the top commentary about what
are the "visual hints" displayed to the user and how to configure them.

I agree, but I'd like to see the core concepts explained on top:
1. How to create region lock (done)
2. What the region lock does (prohibit modifications, done)
3. How the lock is presented to the user and how to control the presentation (not done)
4. What can user do with the lock and how it is reflected in Elisp level (not done)
5. What can Elisp do with the lock (done)

We usually "hide" fields by declaring them private.
Hiding them from the type docs is not a good idea because it defeats the
purpose of type documentation in general.

I disagree. In particular, I dislike the fact that they are not
documented anywhere and one has to read the internals of the code to
understand their purpose.

Hi Ihor,
Thanks for the review.
I've pushed a new version, hoping to decrease the number of dislikes
;-)

[....]
For the org-pending library, "live" means "locked". Once the outcome
is known, it can't be "live" anymore (it's unlocked); as it's not
reusable, it's "dead".
As the region is not locked anymore, the lock properties/fields can't
be trusted anymore.
But see below about removing the visual outcome hints of a given
reglock.

ok. I've added the function `org-pending-reglock-delete-outcome-marks,
that will delete the outcome visual hints for a given reglock, if
there are some.
I updated how the lock is described to the user
(org-pending-describe-reglock): I added a button "Forget" (if the lock
is dead, that removes the outcome marks), and I added a "Cancel"
button if the lock is still live.

Thanks. I've improved the documentation of `org-pending' to mention
that one may want to customize the following fields of a reglock:
before-kill-function, user-cancel-function and
insert-details-function. And, also, I added that one can attach
custom properties using the "properties" field.

An elisp program, that uses org-pending, must update the locks using
`org-pending-send-update'. That program does not receive any data
from the lock; it may customize Emacs behavior using the reglock
fields mentioned above: before-kill-function, user-cancel-function and
insert-details-function.
Hopefully, it's clearer now with the improved documentation of the
org-pending function.
Just let me know if you still think that the top commentary should
explain this. Thanks.

If you think the current "visual hints" are good enough and could be
shipped as-is, in a first version (indirect buffers, etc.); I could
work on documenting them better. What kind of configuration are you
thinking about ? just the faces ? or more advanced configurations ?

Done. I hope the minimal documentation is enough.
Thanks again for your reviews and your comments,

Thanks, but I still feel confused.
May you:
1. Explain what does "kill" and "cancel" mean in the context of the
REGLOCK.
2. Add information about visual hints, "kill", and "cancel" to the
top-level commentary.
For now, when reading the top commentary:
;; This library contains an API to lock a region while it is "being
;; updated"; the content of the region is "pending" and cannot be
;; modified. It will be updated, later, when the new content is
;; available.
I have an impression that the only side effect of "locking" is that the
region becomes read-only. It is not clear at all that any other
visual indication will be provided.

Yes, I do think that top commentary should explain this.
The very idea that lock may be "canceled" or "killed" is important when
designing Elisp code that uses the org-pending library.

I am not thinking about details yet.
I just want insert-details-function to be described in the top
commentary. At high level. Something like
* Visual indication of the "pending" regions
While the region is locked, it is visually highlighted in the buffer,
providing information about the lock status as an overlay. The status
can be:
1. :scheduled - the region is "being updated", but the computation has
not yet started.
2. :progress - the computation is in progress
After unlocking the region, the visual indication is not necessarily
removed. Instead, the outcome is indicated in an overlay. The outcome
may be:
1. :success - the computation has been successful and the region text
has been updated
2. :failure - the computation failed
The lock status is updated according to the data submitted to REGLOCK
object via `org-pending-send-update'.
* User interaction with pending regions
For any pending region, users may request detailed description to be
displayed. The description includes the pending region status, creation
time, outcome, duration, results, errors, etc.
Elisp code using this library may also supply additional details about
any given reglock, via `insert-details-function' field of REGLOCK
object. For example, process logs can be displayed this way.
--------
I hope that the above clarifies what I am looking for.
