The terminfo entry for linux only advertises 8 colours, but nvim tries
to make it display 16 colours anyway, resulting in erroneous SGR control
sequences for colours 8 and above. The Linux kernel terminal emulator
itself has actually understood the 256-colour control sequences since
version 4.8 and the 16-colour control sequences since version 4.9. Thus
we apply the same terminfo fixup as we apply for *xterm* and *256*, to
emit the 16-colour and 256-colour control sequences even if terminfo's
setaf and setab do not advertise them.
As part of the refactoring in #5119, some vim_strchr() were changed to
strchr(). However, vim_strchr() behaves differently than strchr() when
c is NUL, returning NULL instead of a pointer to the NUL.
Revert the strchr() calls where it isn't known whether c is NUL, since
this causes a semantic change the surrounding code doesn't expect. In
the case of #6650, this led to a heap overrun.
Closes#6650

Asynchronous API functions are served immediately, which means pending
input could change the state of Nvim shortly after an async API function
result is returned.
nvim_get_mode() is different:
- If RPCs are known to be blocked, it responds immediately (without
flushing the input/event queue)
- else it is handled just-in-time before waiting for input, after
pending input was processed. This makes the result more reliable
(but not perfect).
Internally this is handled as a special case, but _semantically_ nothing
has changed: API users never know when input flushes, so this internal
special-case doesn't violate that. As far as API users are concerned,
nvim_get_mode() is just another asynchronous API function.
In all cases nvim_get_mode() never blocks for more than the time it
takes to flush the input/event queue (~µs).
Note: This doesn't address #6166; nvim_get_mode() will provoke #6166 if
e.g. `d` is operator-pending.
Closes#6159
Also re-word some error messages:
- "Key does not exist: %s"
- "Invalid channel: %<PRIu64>"
- "Request array size must be 4 (request) or 3 (notification)"
- "String cannot contain newlines"

Closes#6540
In #6221 there was a mistake in calculating which folds need to be
re-ordered. When there are no folds after those that have been adjusted,
then `move_end` remains 0. This results in reverse_fold_order()
swapping folds that have been adjusted with uninitialised folds in the
remainder of the grow array.
Add a check in foldMoveRange() to account for this case.
Not using enum{} because SIZE_MAX exceeds integer and I do not really like how
enum definition is described in C99:
1. Even though all values must fit into the chosen type (6.7.2.2, p 4) the type
to choose is still implementation-defined.
2. 6.4.4.3 explicitly states that “an identifier declared as an enumeration
constant has type `int`”. So it looks like “no matter what type was chosen
for enumeration, constants will be integers”. Yet the following simple
program:
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stddef.h>
enum { X=SIZE_MAX };
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
printf("x:%zu m:%zu t:%zu v:%zu",
sizeof(X), sizeof(SIZE_MAX), sizeof(size_t), (size_t)X);
}
yields one of the following using different compilers:
- clang/gcc/pathcc: `x:8 m:8 t:8 v:18446744073709551615`
- pcc/tcc: `x:4 m:8 t:8 v:1844674407370955161`
If I remove the cast of X to size_t then pcc/tcc both yield `x:4 m:8 t:8
v:4294967295`, other compilers’ output does not change.
All compilers were called with `$compiler -std=c99 -xc -` (feeding program
from echo), except for `tcc` which has missing `-std=c99`. `pcc` seems to
ignore the argument though: it is perfectly fine with `-std=c1000`.
Calling cmd.exe in Windows follows a very different pattern from Vim.
The primary difference is that Vim does a nested call to cmd.exe, e.g.
the following call in Vim
system('echo a 2>&1')
spawns the following processes
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim80\vimrun" -s C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c (echo a 2^>^&1
^>C:\Users\dummy\AppData\Local\Temp\VIoC169.tmp 2^>^&1)
C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c (echo a 2^>^&1
^>C:\Users\dummy\AppData\Local\Temp\VIo3C6C.tmp 2^>^&1)
C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c (echo a 2>&1
>C:\Users\dummy\AppData\Local\Temp\VIo3C6C.tmp 2>&1)
The escaping with ^ is needed because cmd.exe calls itself and needs to
preserve the special metacharacters for the last call. However in nvim
no nested call is made, system('') spawns a single cmd.exe process.
Setting shellxescape to "" disables escaping with ^.
The previous default for shellxquote=( wrapped any command in
parenthesis, in Vim this is more meaningful due to the use of tempfiles
to store the output and redirection (also see &shellquote). There is
a slight benefit in having the default be empty because some expressions
that run in console will not run within parens e.g. due to unbalanced
double quotes
system('echo "a b')
Disable CommandLineToArgvW-standard quoting for cmd.exe.
libuv assumes spawned processes follow the convention expected by
CommandLineToArgvW(). But cmd.exe is non-conformant, so for cmd.exe:
- With system([]), the caller has full control (and responsibility) to
quote arguments correctly.
- With system(''), shell* options are used.
libuv quoting is disabled if argv[0] is:
- cmd.exe
- cmd
- $COMSPEC resolving to a path with filename cmd.exe

Reasoning is majorly the same: check whether lua has bug or API function has
bug, but on the other side: previous commit is checking whether similar bug when
using API via msgpack RPC, this commit is checking whether another API function
used via lua bindings triggers the same bug. Should additionally give a hint
about which lua code contains a bug.
Lua has too many pitfalls here:
- os.execute() requires shell-escaping
- os.execute() has breaking changes between Lua 5.1 and 5.2
- No native way in Lua to handle "readonly" etc. on Windows
