Hi all,
   This is a patch to improve the behavior of
org-babel-check-confirm-evaluate and the usefulness of
org-confirm-babel-evaluate when a function is provided. It is
currently made against master, but it might also be possible to make
it against maint. The rest is in the commit message. Best!
Tom

Subject: [PATCH] lisp/ob-core.el: pass expanded body to
 org-confirm-babel-evaluate

* lisp/ob-core.el (org-babel-get-body-to-eval): New function extracted
from org-babel-execute-src-block so that it can be reused.
(org-babel-execute-src-block): Use org-babel-get-body-to-eval
(org-babel-check-confirm-evaluate): Use org-babel-get-body-to-eval to
pass the expanded body of the code that will actually be evaluated to
org-confirm-babel-evaluate if it is a function.

This commit changes the behavior of org-babel-check-confirm-evaluate
so that org-confirm-babel-evaluate receives the fully expanded code to
be evaluated. This is important because there is no easy way to expand
noweb references inside org-confirm-babel-evaluate without calling
org-babel-get-src-block-info a second time. It is also important
because the current behavior makes it possible for code lurking behind
noweb references to change without the user being able to detect those
changes if they trust org-confirm-babel-evaluate is receiving the
actual body of the code that will be evalulated. I was bitten by this
when trying to hash the body passed to org-confirm-babel-evaluate and
could not figure out why the hash was not changing when a nowebbed
block changed.

These changes were made in such a way as to minimize changes to the
existing functions, however they come at the cost of making two calls
to org-babel-get-body-to-eval since passing the expanded body through
to org-confirm-babel-evaluate would either require appending it to the
info list or changing the function signatures of
org-babel-confirm-evaluate and org-babel-check-confirm-evaluate which
is undesireable. Furthermore, to compute the expanded body only once
would require switching from using cond in org-babel-execute-src-block
to using a series of nested ifs. This change can be made, but starting
from the current implementation will provide a working reference for
comparison rather than trying to make all the changes at the same time.

I find that convincing.  I'd guess that a org-confirm-babel-evaluate
function would always want to see expanded noweb references.

This doesn't mention coderefs, though, and the case there seems less
clear.  If there's not a strong reason to strip coderefs, then the new
function wouldn't be necessary, and -check-confirm-evaluate could
instead go with the pattern used elsewhere:

    (if (org-babel-noweb-p (nth 2 info) :eval)
        (org-babel-expand-noweb-references info)
      (nth 1 info))

(Perhaps it'd be worth adding a -maybe-expand variant of
-expand-noweb-references since there are a good number of spots that do
the same params check before calling -expand-noweb-references.)

Or potentially three calls to -get-body-to-eval: one call with the
-check-evaluate call in -execute-src-block, one with the
-confirm-evaluate in -execute-src-block, and then the direct call to
-get-body-to-eval in -execute-src-block.

An option not mentioned above is to replace (nth 1 info) with the
expanded body upstream of (when (org-babel-check-evaluate info) ...).
Modifying the body in INFO is admittedly not pretty, but it's in line
with what is done elsewhere (e.g., -expand-src-block,
-exp-process-buffer, -load-in-session), as well as with how other INFO
elements in -execute-src-block are handled.

In fact, -execute-src-block did modify (nth 1 info) before 3b3fc520a
(Fix coderef handling in source blocks, 2016-08-28), though too late to
affect calls to a org-confirm-babel-evaluate function.  Quickly checking
the tests added in that commit as well as the example in the message [0]
that prompted that commit, modifying (nth 1 info) didn't seem to break
the fix there.

Hi Kyle,
   Thank you for the feedback. In short if modifying (nth 1 info) in place won't
cause a problem then I think it is the way to go. Details below. Best,
Tom

Yes, this is in line with my thinking below about what
-get-src-block-info should
be returning by default, specifically that (nth 1 info) should
probably always be
expanded unless the caller explicitly asks for it not to be.

Does the suggestion below to do this inside of -get-src-block-info cover those
other cases?

Ah yep, I missed that -check-evaluate would also hit that path, but it is
safer that way.

I considered this as well, and in fact I assumed that this is how it worked
before I looked to see the code was actually doing. I didn't know what the
consequences of making it work that way would be and tend to err on the
side of not kobbering data that some other function might expect to be in
an unmodified state. This would certainly be the most expedient solution.

There would need to be a way to indicate that info should not expand noweb
references so that :noweb no-export can get the unexpanded form. Maybe
and optional argument =expand= that defaults to t?
(defun org-babel-get-src-block-info (&optional light datum expand) ... )
It might not even be needed if all the required information can be derived from
info itself using just
(when (org-babel-noweb-p params :eval) (org-babel-expand-noweb-references info))
at the end of -get-src-block-info with the accompanying expansion of params.

In a sense I think it is also advantageous to do this because it will make
the noweb expansion orthogonal to execution. In principle this means that
-get-src-block-info should return in a state such that (nth 1 info) is always
already expanded if :noweb is set to anything but no. The no-export case
is orthogonal here as well because if a block needs to be executed during
export, it still must be expanded independent of how the block itself will
be rendered.

e.g.
#+name: other-block
#+begin_src elisp
(+ 1 2)
#+end_src

#+name: block
#+begin_src elisp :noweb no-export
<<other-block>>
#+end_src

#+name: print-3
#+begin_src elisp :var three=block() :exports both
(print three)
#+end_src

Hmm, it looks like you're thinking of a different spot than I was
referring to.  I was talking about modifying (nth 1 info) in
-execute-src-block, before the (when (org-babel-check-evaluate ...).

Prior to commit 3b3fc520a, (nth 1 info) was modified in
-execute-src-block but after org-babel-check-evaluate and
org-babel-confirm-evaluate.  That makes me think it'd probably be safe
to do again, just a bit upstream in the same function.  And I don't see
a spot where modifying that element would be problematic.  On the
incoming end, INFO is passed to copy-tree if it is provided as an
argument, and I don't think any of the functions that -execute-src-block
feeds INFO to would be affected.  But I of course could be overlooking
something.

On the other hand, if org-babel-get-src-block-info did the expansion,
I'd be a bit more worried about downstream effects (though I haven't
tried to trace things too closely).  Also, -execute-src-block takes a
PARAMS argument, and I think that needs to be merged with (nth 2 info)
before considering whether to expand, so it seems like expanding in
-get-src-block-info would be too soon.

Regardless of whether modifying (nth 1 info) would work, I also think
it'd be fine to instead go ahead with something along the lines of your
initial patch.  In that case, the main question is whether coderefs
should be removed (as they currently are in your patch).  If not,
perhaps something like below (untested) would suffice.

Hi Kyle,
   Sorry for the slow turnaround time on this one. Having now tested
it, I think that your solution is a much better one for the time
being, so please go ahead and apply it. From this discussion there are
a number of good options for improvements in the future, but my
priority would be to get the expanded version of the body passed to
org-confirm-babel-evaluate asap with as few disturbances to the rest
of the code base as possible. Best!
Tom

Hi Kyle,
    Following up in this thread having investigated the impact of coderefs.
My conclusion is that coderefs need to be stripped out before they are
passed to org-confirm-babel-evaluate. They are not present in the
executed code and removing them is not something that a definition
of org-confirm-babel-evaluate should have to know anything about.
Right now I work around them by suggesting that users comment
out their coderefs. This works because my use case is restricted to
elisp code and I strip the comments using read, but other languages
would not have such an easy solution.

I have included a patch against maint that reuses the let block
from org-babel-execute-src-block to accomplish this.

Best!
Tom

Thanks for revisiting this.  This change (df5a83637) hasn't made it into
a release yet, so it'd be good to make this move now.

params is undefined here.  I've s/params/headers/ when applying.

Okay, so this is equivalent to your original patch, though your initial
approach avoided duplicating the logic, which I think is worth doing.
I'd like to make sure this gets in before a release, so I've applied
this message's patch (3e1c0b0f4) and then followed it up with a patch
that adds a test, and another that extracts the duplicated logic out to
a helper (as in your original patch).

Hi Kyle,
    Great. That sounds like the best solution given that correctness
is more important than performance at the moment. We have a good idea
of how to improve the performance going forward so providing the
correct behavior asap seems like the right thing to do. Thank you very
much for getting this in! Best,
Tom
