In the rare case that exit_event is called from process_close_handles,
it stalls waiting for the process to exit (the routine is currently
underway to do just that). This causes `job_spec.lua` to sometimes
stall.
REJECTED IDEAS:
==============================================================
1. Currently `exit_event` is placed on `main_loop.fast_events`. Would the problem
be solved by using `main_loop.events` instead?
- A: Maybe, but it will cause other problems, such as queuing exit_event()
during "Press Enter..." prompt which may result in the event not being
processed, leading to another stall.
2. Can we avoid the timer?
- A: Using a timer is just the easiest way to queue a delayed event without
causing an infinite loop in the queue currently being processed.
3. Can we avoid the new `exit_need_delay` global...
1. by using `process_is_tearing_down` instead?
- A: Can't use `process_is_tearing_down` because its semantics are different.
2. by checking a similar condition as `process_teardown`? f50135a32e/src/nvim/event/process.c (L141-L142)
```
if (!process_is_tearing_down || (kl_empty(main_loop.children) && multiqueue_empty(main_loop.events))) {
uv_timer_start(&main_loop.exit_delay_timer, exit_delay_cb, 0, 0);
return;
}
```
- A: Tried but it did not work (other stalls occurred). Maybe
exit_event() is called from a source other than
process_close_handles() and is delayed, the delayed exit_event() will
be executed before main_loop.events is processed, resulting in an
infinite loop.
