Then we can just load metadata in C as a single msgpack blob. Which also
can be used directly as binarly data, instead of first unpacking all the
functions and ui_events metadata to immediately pack it again, which was
a bit of a silly walk (and one extra usecase of `msgpack_rpc_from_object`
which will get yak shaved in the next PR)
Functions like file_open_new() and file_open_fd_new() which just is a
wrapper around the real functions but with an extra xmalloc/xfree around
is an anti-pattern. If the caller really needs to allocate a
FileDescriptor as a heap object, it can do that directly.
FileDescriptor by itself is pretty much a pointer, or rather two:
the OS fd index and a pointer to a buffer. So most of the time an extra
pointer layer is just wasteful.
In the case of scriptin[curscript] in getchar.c, curscript used
to mean in practice:
N+1 open scripts when curscript>0
zero or one open scripts when curscript==0
Which means scriptin[0] had to be compared to NULL to disambiguate the
curscript=0 case.
Instead, use curscript==-1 to mean that are no script,
then all pointer comparisons dissappear and we can just use an array of
structs without extra pointers.
Problem:
Not all Lua code is checked by stylua. Automating code-style is an
important mechanism for reducing time spent on accidental
(non-essential) complexity.
Solution:
- Enable lintlua for `test/unit/` directory.
- TODO: only `test/functional/` remains unchecked.

Used
sed -r -i -e '/ helpers =/ s/$/\nlocal itp = helpers.gen_itp(it)/; s/^(\s*)it\(/\1itp(/' test/unit/**/*_spec.lua
to alter all tests. Locally they all run fine now.
Reasoning:
1. General: state from one test should not affect other tests.
2. Local: travis build is failing with something which may be an output of
garbage collector. This should prevent state of the garbage collector from
interferring as well.
Actual value on FreeBSD is -31, UV_EMLINK was obtained from
/usr/include/asm-generic/errno-base.h (there EMLINK is defined as 31 there).
This may actually be something else, but I do not think so as “Too many links”
description also fits in. [Man page][1] agrees with me, search for `[EMLINK]`
([linux man page][2] also specifies ELOOP explicitly in a similar section).
