Problem: Can't use getpos('v') in OptionSet when using setbufvar().
Solution: Don't reset Visual selection when switching to the same
buffer (zeertzjq).

NEW BUILD SYSTEM!
This is a MVP implementation which supports building the "nvim" binary,
including cross-compilation for some targets.
As an example, you can build a aarch64-macos binary from
an x86-64-linux-gnu host, or vice versa
Add CI target for build.zig currently for functionaltests on linux
x86_64 only
Follow up items:
- praxis for version and dependency bumping
- windows 💀
- full integration of libintl and gettext (or a desicion not to)
- update help and API metadata files
- installation into a $PREFIX
- more tests and linters
Problem:
Default 'statusline' is implemented in C and not representable as
a statusline expression. This makes it hard for user configs/plugins to
extend it.
Solution:
- Change the default 'statusline' slightly to a statusline expression.
- Remove the C implementation.
Problem: Sourcing buffer lines is too complicated.
Solution: Simplify the code. Make it possible to source Vim9 script lines.

This commit changes the behavior of sourcing buffer lines to always have
a script ID, although sourcing the same buffer always produces the same
script ID.
vim-patch:9.1.0372: Calling CLEAR_FIELD() on the same struct twice
Problem: Calling CLEAR_FIELD() on the same struct twice.
Solution: Remove the second CLEAR_FIELD(). Move the assignment of
cookie.sourceing_lnum (zeertzjq).

Problem:
`vim.tbl_get(tbl, nil, 1)` returns `tbl` itself. In this case, `keys` is not
empty, but `ipairs` skips the iteration:
local keys = { nil, 1 }
assert(#keys == 2)
for i, k in ipairs(keys) do
assert(false, 'unreachable')
end
Solution:
Use `select("#", ...)` and `select(i, ...)` to ensure consistency for count and
iteration.
Problem:
- API functions using `try_start` directly, do not surface the
underlying error message, and instead show generic messages.
- Error-handling code is duplicated in the API impl.
- Failure modes are not tested.
Solution:
- Use `TRY_WRAP`.
- Add tests.
Problem: Lua callbacks for "msg_show" events with vim.ui_attach() are
executed when it is not safe.
Solution: Disallow non-fast API calls for "msg_show" event callbacks.
Automatically detach callback after excessive errors.
Make sure fast APIs do not modify Nvim state.
Before calling "attach" a screen object is just a dummy container for
(row, col) values whose purpose is to be sent as part of the "attach"
function call anyway.
Just create the screen in an attached state directly. Keep the complete
(row, col, options) config together. It is still completely valid to
later detach and re-attach as needed, including to another session.
PROBLEM:
There are several limitations to vim.str_byteindex, vim.str_utfindex:
1. They throw given out-of-range indexes. An invalid (often user/lsp-provided)
index doesn't feel exceptional and should be handled by the caller.
`:help dev-error-patterns` suggests that `retval, errmsg` is the preferred
way to handle this kind of failure.
2. They cannot accept an encoding. So LSP needs wrapper functions. #25272
3. The current signatures are not extensible.
* Calling: The function currently uses a fairly opaque boolean value to
indicate to identify the encoding.
* Returns: The fact it can throw requires wrapping in pcall.
4. The current name doesn't follow suggestions in `:h dev-naming` and I think
`get` would be suitable.
SOLUTION:
- Because these are performance-sensitive, don't introduce `opts`.
- Introduce an "overload" that accepts `encoding:string` and
`strict_indexing:bool` params.
```lua
local col = vim.str_utfindex(line, encoding, [index, [no_out_of_range]])
```
Support the old versions by dispatching on the type of argument 2, and
deprecate that form.
```lua
vim.str_utfindex(line) -- (utf-32 length, utf-16 length), deprecated
vim.str_utfindex(line, index) -- (utf-32 index, utf-16 index), deprecated
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16') -- utf-16 length
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16', index) -- utf-16 index
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16', math.huge) -- error: index out of range
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16', math.huge, false) -- utf-16 length
```
Problem:
`vim.validate()` takes two forms when it only needs one.
Solution:
- Teach the fast form all the features of the spec form.
- Deprecate the spec form.
- General optimizations for both forms.
- Add a `message` argument which can be used alongside or in place
of the `optional` argument.
In the api_info() output:
:new|put =map(filter(api_info().functions, '!has_key(v:val,''deprecated_since'')'), 'v:val')
...
{'return_type': 'ArrayOf(Integer, 2)', 'name': 'nvim_win_get_position', 'method': v:true, 'parameters': [['Window', 'window']], 'since': 1}
The `ArrayOf(Integer, 2)` return type didn't break clients when we added
it, which is evidence that clients don't use the `return_type` field,
thus renaming Dictionary => Dict in api_info() is not (in practice)
a breaking change.
Problem: vim.tbl_deep_extend had an undocumented feature where arrays
(integer-indexed tables) were not merged but compared literally (used
for merging default and user config, where one list should overwrite the
other completely). Turns out this behavior was relied on in quite a
number of plugins (even though it wasn't a robust solution even for that
use case, since lists of tables (e.g., plugin specs) can be array-like
as well).
Solution: Revert the removal of this special feature. Check for
list-like (contiguous integer indices) instead, as this is closer to the
intent. Document this behavior.
- The exclusion of lists was never justified in the commit history and is
the wrong thing to do for a function that deals with tables.
- Move the error checks out of the recursive path.
Fixes#23654
Problem:
Empty dictionaries are converted into typed tables of the form `{ [true]
= 6}` instead of an empty dictionary representation `{}`. This leads to
incorrect table representation, along with failure in JSON encoding of
such tables as currently tables with only string and number type keys
can be encoded.
Solution:
The typed table logic has been removed from `nlua_push_Dictionary`. The
typed table logic is required only for float value conversions which is
already handled in `nlua_push_Float`. So, it is(was) no longer required
here.
Fixesneovim/neovim#29218
For many small/simple functions (like those found in shared.lua), the
runtime of vim.validate can far exceed the runtime of the function
itself. Add an "overload" to vim.validate that uses a simple assertion
pattern, rather than parsing a full "validation spec".
Deprecation with vim.deprecate is currently too noisy. Show the
following warning instead:
[function] is deprecated. Run ":checkhealth vim.deprecated" for more information.
The important part is that the full message needs to be short enough to
fit in one line in order to not trigger the "Press ENTER or type command
to continue" prompt.
The full information and stack trace for the deprecated functions will
be shown in the new healthcheck `vim.deprecated`.
Problem:
- The test for vim.deprecate() has a "mock" which is outdated because
vim.deprecate() no longer uses that.
- The tests get confused after a version bump.
Solution:
Make the tests adapt to the current version.
Specifically, functions that are run in the context of the test runner
are put in module `test/testutil.lua` while the functions that are run
in the context of the test session are put in
`test/functional/testnvim.lua`.
Closes https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/27004.
Problem: `vim.deprecate()` can be relatively significantly slower than
the deprecated function in "Nvim" plugin.
Solution: Optimize checks for "Nvim" plugin. This also results into not
distinguishing "xxx-dev" and "xxx" versions when doing checks, which
is essentially covered by the deprecation logic itself.
With this rewrite I get the times from #28459: `{ 0.024827, 0.003797, 0.002024, 0.001774, 0.001703 }`.
For quicker reference:
- On current Nightly it is something like `{ 3.72243, 0.918169, 0.968143, 0.763256, 0.783424 }`.
- On 0.9.5: `{ 0.002955, 0.000361, 0.000281, 0.000251, 0.00019 }`.
Problem:
We need to establish a pattern for `enable()`.
Solution:
- First `enable()` parameter is always `enable:boolean`.
- Update `vim.diagnostic.enable()`
- Update `vim.lsp.inlay_hint.enable()`.
- It was not released yet, so no deprecation is needed. But to help
HEAD users, it will show an informative error.
- vim.deprecate():
- Improve message when the "removal version" is a *current or older* version.
Problem: Crash on exit with EXITFREE and using win_execute().
Solution: Also save and restore tp_topframe. (issue vim/vim#9374)
dab17a0689
Couldn't repro the crash in the test, but I only care about this patch so
switch_win sets topframe properly for win_split_ins in nvim_open_win and
nvim_win_set_config.
Add a test using nvim_win_call and :wincmd, as I couldn't repro the issue via
nvim_open_win or nvim_win_set_config (though it's clear they're affected by this
patch).
That said, at that point, could just use {un}use_tabpage inside switch_win
instead, which also updates tp_curwin (though maybe continue to not set it in
restore_win). That would also fix possible inconsistent behaviour such as:
:call win_execute(w, "let curwin_nr1 = tabpagewinnr(1)")
:let curwin_nr2 = tabpagewinnr(1)
Where it's possible for curwin_nr1 != curwin_nr2 if these commands are run from
the 1st tabpage, but window "w" is in the 2nd (as the 1st tabpage's tp_curwin
may still be invalid). I'll probably PR a fix for that later in Vim.
