Add the following options to extmarks:
- sign_text
- sign_hl_group
- number_hl_group
- line_hl_group
- cursorline_hl_group
Note: ranges are unsupported and decorations are only applied to
start_row
marktree.c was originally constructed as a "generic" datatype,
to make the prototyping of its internal logic as simple as possible
and also as the usecases for various kinds of extmarks/decorations was not yet decided.
As a consequence of this, various extra indirections and allocations was
needed to use marktree to implement extmarks (ns/id pairs) and
decorations of different kinds (some which is just a single highlight
id, other an allocated list of virtual text/lines)
This change removes a lot of indirection, by making Marktree specialized
for the usecase. In particular, the namespace id and mark id is stored
directly, instead of the 64-bit global id particular to the Marktree
struct. This removes the two maps needed to convert between global and
per-ns ids.
Also, "small" decorations are stored inline, i.e. those who
doesn't refer to external heap memory anyway. That is highlights (with
priority+flags) are stored inline, while virtual text, which anyway
occurs a lot of heap allocations, do not. (previously a hack was used
to elide heap allocations for highlights with standard prio+flags)
TODO(bfredl): the functionaltest-lua CI version of gcc is having
severe issues with uint16_t bitfields, so splitting up compound
assignments and redundant casts are needed. Clean this up once we switch
to a working compiler version.
The strict option, when set to false, allows placing extmarks on
invalid row and column values greater than the maximum buffer row
or line column respectively.
This allows for nvim_buf_set_extmark
to be a drop-in replacement for nvim_buf_set_highlight.
nvim_buf_get_extmark uses "end_row" rather than "end_line" in its
'details' dict, which means callers must modify the key names if they
want to re-use the information. Change the parameter name in
nvim_buf_set_extmark to "end_row" and use "end_line" as an alias
to make this more consistent.
