Problem:
1. Some calls to preserve_exit() don't put a message in IObuff, so the
IObuff printed by preserve_exit() contains unrelated information.
2. If a TUI client runs out of memory or receives a deadly signal, the
error message is shown on alternate screen and cannot be easily seen
because the TUI exits alternate screen soon afterwards.
Solution:
Pass error message to preserve_exit() and exit alternate screen before
printing it.
Note that this doesn't fix the problem that server error messages cannot
be easily seen on exit. This is tracked in #21608 and #21843.
Problem:
When "-l" is followed by "--", we stop sending args to the Lua script
and treat "--" in the usual way. This was for flexibility but didn't
have a strong use-case, and has these problems:
- prevents Lua "-l" scripts from handling "--" in their own way.
- complicates the startup logic (must call nlua_init before command_line_scan)
Solution:
Don't treat "--" specially if it follows "-l".
Problem:
Nvim has Lua but the "nvim" CLI can't easily be used to execute Lua
scripts, especially scripts that take arguments or produce output.
Solution:
- support "nvim -l [args...]" for running scripts. closes#15749
- exit without +q
- remove lua2dox_filter
- remove Doxyfile. This wasn't used anyway, because the doxygen config
is inlined in gen_vimdoc.py (`Doxyfile` variable).
- use "nvim -l" in docs-gen CI job
Examples:
$ nvim -l scripts/lua2dox.lua --help
Lua2DoX (0.2 20130128)
...
$ echo "print(vim.inspect(_G.arg))" | nvim -l - --arg1 --arg2
$ echo 'print(vim.inspect(vim.api.nvim_buf_get_text(1,0,0,-1,-1,{})))' | nvim +"put ='text'" -l -
TODO?
-e executes Lua code
-l loads a module
-i enters REPL _after running the other arguments_.
- The defined interface for the UI is only the RPC protocol. The original
UI interface as an array of function pointers fill no function.
- On the server, all the UI:s are all RPC channels.
- ui.c is only used on the server.
- The compositor is a preprocessing step for single-grid UI:s
- on the client, ui_client and tui talk directly to each other
- we still do module separation, as ui_client.c could form the basis
of a libnvim client module later.
Items for later PR:s
- vim.ui_attach is still an unhappy child, reconsider based on plugin experience.
- the flags in ui_events.in.h are still a mess. Can be simplified now.
- UX for remote attachment needs more work.
- startup for client can be simplified further (think of the millisecs we can save)
- use pcall when calling vim.secure.read from C
- catch keyboard interrupts in vim.secure.read, rethrow other errors
- selecting "view" in prompt runs :view command
- simplify lua stack cleanup with lua_gettop and lua_settop

Allow Include What You Use to remove unnecessary includes and only
include what is necessary. This helps with reducing compilation times
and makes it easier to visualise which dependencies are actually
required.
Work on https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/549, but doesn't close
it since this only works fully for .c files and not headers.
Adds a `name` key to the opts dict passed to Lua command callbacks
created using `nvim_create_user_command()`. This is useful for when
multiple commands use the same callback.
Note that this kind of behavior is not as strange as one might think,
even some internal Neovim commands reuse the same internal C function,
differing their behavior by checking the command name. `substitute`,
`smagic` and `snomagic` are examples of that.
This will also be useful for generalized Lua command preview functions
that can preview a wide range of commands, in which case knowing the
command name is necessary for the preview function to actually be able
to execute the command that it's supposed to preview.
Enable and fix bugprone-misplaced-widening-cast warning.
Fix some modernize-macro-to-enum and readability-else-after-return
warnings, but don't enable them. While the warnings can be useful, they
are in general too noisy to enable.
I don't think using an integer as a NUL-terminated string can work on
big-endian systems, at least.
This is also not tested. Add a test.
Also fix a mistake in the docs of nvim_parse_cmd.
Problem: Macros for MS-Windows are inconsistent, using "32", "3264 and
others.
Solution: Use MSWIN for all MS-Windows builds. Use FEAT_GUI_MSWIN for the
GUI build. (Hirohito Higashi, closesvim/vim#3932)
