- process spawning was decoupled from the rest of the job control logic. The
goal is reusing it for spawning processes connected to pseudo terminal file
descriptors.
- job_start now receives a JobOptions structure containing all the startup
options.
- Removed term.c, term.h and term_defs.h
- Tests for T_* values were removed. screen.c was simplified as a
consequence(the best strategy for drawing is implemented in the UI layer)
- Redraw functions now call ui.c functions directly. Updates are flushed with
`ui_flush()`
- Removed all termcap options(they now return empty strings for compatibility)
- &term/&ttybuiltin options return a constant value(nvim)
- &t_Co is still available, but it mirrors t_colors directly
- Remove cursor tracking from screen.c and the `screen_start` function. Now the
UI is expected to maintain cursor state across any call, and reset it when
resized.
- Remove unused code
- Remove abstract_ui global, now it is always active
- Remove some terminal handling code
- Remove unused functions
- Remove HAVE_TGETENT/TERMINFO/TERMIOS/IOCTL #ifdefs
- Remove tgetent/terminfo from version.c
- Remove curses/terminfo dependencies
- Only start/stop termcap when starting/exiting the program
- msg_use_printf will return true if there are no attached UIs(
messages will be written to stdout)
- Remove `ex_winpos`(implement `:winpos` with `ex_ni`)
Problem : Read from pointer after free @ {242, 391}.
Diagnostic : Real issues.
Rationale : Channel gets indeed freed on error case, producing
incorrect accesses to freed pointer later on.
Resolution : Implement reference counting mechanism to know when to free
channel.
ASAN detected this heap-use-after-free.
A job started by channel_from_job() could terminate and result in a call
to free_channel(), while channel_send_call() was still active/pending
and accessing Channel elements.
Original patch by @tarruda.
It is currently possible for a client to send a response that doesn't match the
current server->client request(at the top of the stack). This commit fixes that
by delaying notifications to until the first `channel_send_call` invocation
returns.
Also remove the "call stack" size check, vim will already break if the call
stack goes too deep.
Commit @264e0d872c("Remove automatic event deferral") removed the immediate
event queue because event deferral now had to be explicit. The problem is that
while some events don't need to be deferred, they still can result in recursive
`event_poll` calls, and recursion is not supported by libuv. Examples of those
are msgpack-rpc requests while a server->client request is pending, or signals
which can call `mch_exit`(and that will result in `uv_run` calls).
To fix the problem, this reintroduces the immediate event queue for events that
can potentially result in event loop recursion. The non-deferred events are
still processed in `event_poll`, but only after `uv_run` returns.
If the server fails to start(due to used address for example), the
`server_start` function was freeing the handle memory before it was properly
removed from libuv event loop queue. Fix that by replacing the `free(server)`
call by `uv_close` call, which will take care of freeing the server on the next
event loop iteration. Also replace `EMSG` calls by `ELOG`/`WLOG`.
Passing NULL as the callback for stdout/stderr will result in job_start ignoring
stdout/stderr, respectively. A 'writable' boolean argument was also added, and
when false `job_start` will ignore stdin.
Also, refactor os_system to allow passing NULL as the `output` argument.
- Expose more logging control from the log.c module(get log stream and omit
newlines)
- Remove logging from the generated functions in msgpack-gen.lua
- Refactor channel.c/helpers.c to log every msgpack-rpc payload using
msgpack_object_print(a helper function from msgpack.h)
- Remove the api_stringify function, it was only useful for logging msgpack-rpc
which is now handled by msgpack_object_print.
When stdio was closed, parse_msgpack was called with eof == true, with caused a
free_channel call. To ensure the correct behavior for all types of channels, the
close_channel must be called before free_channel.
All files under the os, api and msgpack_rpc directories have -Wconversion
automatically applied. CONV_SOURCES is also checked for missing files(when
renaming, for example)
Since all API functions now run immediately after a msgpack-rpc request is
parsed by libuv callbacks, a mechanism was added to override this behavior and
allow certain functions to run in Nvim main loop.
The mechanism is simple: Any API function tagged with the FUNC_ATTR_DEFERRED (a
"dummy" attribute only used by msgpack-gen.lua) will be called when Nvim main
loop receives a K_EVENT key.
To implement this mechanism it was necessary some restructuration on the
msgpack-rpc modules, especially in the msgpack-gen.lua script.
