Fix infinite loops in print.c when a circular list is passed
to command-error-default-function or to error-message-string.
* src/print.c (print_error_message):
Use FOR_EACH_TAIL to avoid infloop on circular lists.
(print_object): Use FOR_EACH_TAIL_SAFE, as it uses
Brent’s teleporting tortoise-hare algorithm which is
asymptotically better than the classic tortoise-hare
algorithm that the code wsas using.
* test/src/print-tests.el (print-circle-2): When print-circle
is nil, do not insist on a particular cycle-detection heuristic.
(error-message-string-circular): New test.
