These are not needed after #35129 but making uncrustify still play nice
with them was a bit tricky.
Unfortunately `uncrustify --update-config-with-doc` breaks strings
with backslashes. This issue has been reported upstream,
and in the meanwhile auto-update on every single run has been disabled.
Problem: parse_cmdline() sets eap->cmdlinep to address of local parameter,
causing invalid memory access when expand_filename() tries to modify it.
This leads to crashes when typing '%' in user commands with preview=true
and complete=file.
Solution: Change parse_cmdline() signature to accept char **cmdline,
allowing cmdlinep to point to caller's variable for safe reallocation.
Problem:
Not easy for a user to tell ":restart" to "run this command(s) after restarting".
Solution:
All ":restart" args following the optional +cmd arg are treated as a big cmdline that is passed as a "-c" CLI arg when restarting nvim.
Problem: Using `addr` without `range` in nvim_create_user_command gives
"No range allowed" error, inconsistent with `:command -addr` behavior.
Solution: Set EX_RANGE flag when `addr` option is specified to match
`:command` behavior.
Problem: no check for nvim_open_win opening a new floating window into a closing
buffer, which can lead to crashes.
Solution: call check_split_disallowed; opening a new float semantically splits
from a window, so the same problems as regular splits apply. Also restore the
error if switch_win_noblock in win_set_buf fails (may not be possible to hit
this, but win_set_buf can silently succeed there since #31595).
As the lock check applies to curbuf (not the target buffer) this may feel a bit
restrictive, though this isn't different to how things like ":split" or
nvim_open_win with "split = true" works when targeting a different buffer. Only
checking the target buffer's lock will cause issues if win_set_buf doesn't end
up in the target buffer for whatever reason.
Maybe we could consider checking the lock of the buffer after win_set_buf and
close the window if it's locked (maybe a bit fiddly, especially as closing a
window can fail...), or make the open + switch operation more atomic, like how
Vim does for its popup windows..?
It also used to be the case that win_set_buf would set an error if autocommands
sent us to a different buffer than what was requested, but #31595 appears to
have also changed that... I haven't touched that here.
Problem: No check for closing the only non-floating window in a non-current
tabpage that contains floats. This can lead to a tabpage that contains only
floats, causing crashes.
Solution: Copy the relevant check from win_close to win_close_othertab. Fix some
uncovered issues.

Problem: winborder option only supported predefined styles and lacked support for custom border characters.
Solution: implement parsing for comma-separated list format that allows specifying 8 individual border characters (topleft, top, topright, right, botright, bottom, botleft, left).
Many terminals now include support for OSC 52 in their Primary Device
Attributes (DA1) response. This is preferable to using XTGETTCAP because
DA1 is _much_ more broadly supported.
Problem: Unable to tell whether msg_history_show event is emitted for a
:messages or g< command.
Solution: Add "prev_cmd" argument that is set to true for g<.
fix(exrc): lua exrc files know their location
Problem:
'exrc' files are inherently bound to their location / workspace and
therefore require to "know" their location on the filesystem. However,
currently using `debug.getinfo(1, 'S')` returns `"<nvim>"`.
Solution:
Include the filepath as chunkname in `loadstring()` and `nlua_exec()`.
- Render Lua types in api.txt.
- Added `DictAs(name)` API type which acts the same as `Dict` (no parens)
when generating the dispatchers, but acts the same as `Dict(name)`
when generating docs.
- Added `Tuple(...)` API type which is the treated the as `Array` for
generating the dispatchers, but is used to document richer types.
- Added `Enum(...)` API type to better document enums
- Improve typing of some API functions.
- Improve c_grammar to properly parse API types and replace string pattern
logic in the parsers.
- Removed all the hardcoded type overrides in gen_eval_files.lua
Problem: ext_messages is implemented to mimic the message grid
implementation w.r.t. scrolling messages, clearing scrolled
messages, hit-enter-prompts and replacing a previous message.
Meanwhile, an ext_messages UI may not be implemented in a way
where these events are wanted. Moreover, correctness of these
events even assuming a "scrolled message" implementation
depends on fragile "currently visible messages" global state,
which already isn't correct after a previous message was
supposed to have been overwritten (because that should not only
happen when `msg_scroll == false`).
Solution: - No longer attempt to keep track of the currently visible
messages: remove the `msg_ext(_history)_visible` variables.
UIs may remove messages pre-emptively (timer based), or never
show messages that don't fit a certain area in the first place.
- No longer emit the `msg(_history)_clear` events to clear
"scrolled" messages. This opens up the `msg_clear` event to
be emitted when messages should actually be cleared (e.g.
when the screen is cleared). May also be useful to emit before
the first message in an event loop cycle as a hint to the UI
that it is a new batch of messages (vim._extui currently
schedules an event to determine that).
- Set `replace_last` explicitly at the few callsites that want
this to be set to true to replace an incomplete status message.
- Don't store a "keep" message to be re-emitted.
Problem: nvim_parse_cmd() incorrectly splits mapping commands like
into three arguments instead of preserving whitespace in the RHS.
Solution: Add special handling for mapping commands to parse them as exactly
two arguments - the LHS and the RHS with all whitespace preserved.
Uses the undocumented "error_exit" UI event for a different purpose:
When :detach is used on the server, send an "error_exit" with 0 `status`
to indicate that the server shouldn't wait for client exit.
Problem:
- nvim_parse_cmd('copen', {}) returns count: 0, causing nvim_cmd to override default behavior
- nvim_cmd({cmd = 'copen', args = {10}}, {}) fails with "Wrong number of arguments"
Solution:
- Only include count field in parse result when explicitly provided or non-zero
- Interpret single numeric argument as count for count-only commands like copen
fix(api): ensure win_get_config() is reciprocal
Problem: win_get_config() does not include a 'none' border field,
causing nvim_open_win() to apply the 'winborder' value.
Solution: Include a 'none' border field in the returned config,
such that it can be used reciprocally in nvim_open_win()
to yield the same window layout.
Problem: "win" is cleared in float config after 96330843, even with
unchanged "relative".
Solution: Don't clear "win". Avoid erroring for deleted "win" by setting
the parent win to curwin directly when "win" is zero or not
present in config.
Problem: Unable to change the "relative" of a flag after its target
"win" no longer exists.
Solution: Unset target window if it is not present in config and
reconfigured "relative" no longer expects a target window.
Problem:
Developing/troubleshooting plugins has friction because "restarting"
Nvim requires quitting and manually starting again. #32484
Solution:
- Implement a `:restart` command which emits `restart` UI event.
- Handle the `restart` UI event in the builtin TUI client: stop the
`nvim --embed` server, start a new one, and attach to it.
Problem: Unable to emit a message with arbitrary kind.
Solution: Add a "kind" opts field to nvim_echo().
Use it to set the "list_cmd" kind for vim.show_pos().
Problem: Consecutive "msg_show" events stemming from an `:echon`
command are supposed to be appended without a newline, this
information is not encoded in the "msg_show" event.
Solution: Add an "append" parameter to the "msg_show" event that is set
to true to indicate the message should not start on a new line.
Considered alternative: Emit a newline for the common case instead at the
start of a new message. That way UIs can more closely follow the logic
as it is implemented for the message grid currently. This would be a
breaking change. The "append" parameter seems OK.
Problem: UIs implementing ext_cmdline/message must also implement
ext_popupmenu in order to get cmdline completion with
wildoptions+=pum.
Solution: Allow marking a window as the ext_cmdline window through
nvim_open_win(), including prompt offset. Anchor the cmdline-
completion popupmenu to this window.
Problem:
nvim_parse_cmd returns invalid 'range' field for cmd like `:bdelete`.
Solution:
Add the condtion `ea.add_count > 0` as required to put 'range'
into result.

Problem:
Cursor is visible in "hidden" floating window.
Solution:
Hide cursor when curwin is a hidden floating window.
Show cursor after returning to a normal (non-hidden) window.
Problem: When iterating in reverse with {start} > {end} in
`nvim_buf_get_extmarks()`, marks that overlap {start} and are
greater than {end} are included in the return value twice.
Marks that overlap {end} and do not overlap {start} are not
not included in the return value at all. Marks are not
actually returned in a meaningful "traversal order".
Solution: Rather than actually iterating in reverse, (also possible but
requires convoluted conditions and would require fetching
overlapping marks for both the {start} and {end} position,
while still ending up with non-traversal ordered marks),
iterate normally and reverse the return value.
Useful to e.g. limit the height to the window height, avoiding unnecessary
work. Or to find out how many buffer lines beyond "start_row" take up a
certain number of logical lines (returned in "end_row" and "end_vcol").
