decor->text.str pointer must go. This removes it for conceal char,
in preparation for a larger PR which will also handle the sign case.
By actually allowing composing chars for a conceal chars, this
becomes a feature and not just a refactor, as a bonus.
Remove the monolithic Decoration struct. Before this change, each extmark
could either represent just a hl_id + priority value as a inline
decoration, or it would take a pointer to this monolitic 112 byte struct
which has to be allocated.
This change separates the decorations into two pieces: DecorSignHighlight
for signs, highlights and simple set-flag decorations (like spell,
ui-watched), and DecorVirtText for virtual text and lines.
The main separation here is whether they are expected to allocate more
memory. Currently this is not really true as sign text has to be an
allocated string, but the plan is to get rid of this eventually (it can
just be an array of two schar_T:s). Further refactors are expected to
improve the representation of each decoration kind individually. The
goal of this particular PR is to get things started by cutting the
Gordian knot which was the monolithic struct Decoration.
Now, each extmark can either contain chained indicies/pointers to
these kinds of objects, or it can fit a subset of DecorSignHighlight
inline.
The point of this change is not only to make decorations smaller in
memory. In fact, the main motivation is to later allow them to grow
_larger_, but on a dynamic, on demand fashion. As a simple example, it
would be possible to augment highlights to take a list of multiple
`hl_group`:s, which then would trivially map to a chain of multiple
DecorSignHighlight entries.
One small feature improvement included with this refactor itself, is
that the restriction that extmarks cannot be removed inside a decoration
provider has been lifted. These are instead safely lifetime extended
on a "to free" list until the current iteration of screen drawing is done.
NB: flags is a mess. but DecorLevel is useless, this slightly less so
Problem: The legacy signlist data structures and associated functions are
redundant since the introduction of extmark signs.
Solution: Store signs defined through the legacy commands in a hashmap, placed
signs in the extmark tree. Replace signlist associated functions.
Usage of the legacy sign commands should yield no change in behavior with the
exception of:
- "orphaned signs" are now always removed when the line it is placed on is
deleted. This used to depend on the value of 'signcolumn'.
- It is no longer possible to place multiple signs with the same identifier
in a single group on multiple lines. This will now move the sign instead.
Moreover, both signs placed through the legacy sign commands and through
|nvim_buf_set_extmark()|:
- Will show up in both |sign-place| and |nvim_buf_get_extmarks()|.
- Are displayed by increasing sign identifier, left to right.
Extmark signs used to be ordered decreasingly as opposed to legacy signs.
Problem:
Platform-specific UI providers should live in `vim.ui.*`. #24164
Solution:
- Move `vim.clipboard.osc52` module to `vim.ui.clipboard.osc52`.
- TODO: move all of `clipboard.vim` to `vim.ui.clipboard`.
ref #25872
We already have an extensive suite of static analysis tools we use,
which causes a fair bit of redundancy as we get duplicate warnings. PVS
is also prone to give false warnings which creates a lot of work to
identify and disable.
Problem: No way to have extmarks automatically removed when the range it
is attached to is deleted.
Solution: Add new 'invalidate' property that will hide a mark when the
entirety of its range is deleted. When "undo_restore" is set
to false, delete the mark from the buffer instead.
When the terminal emulator sends an OSC sequence to Nvim (as a response
to another OSC sequence that was first sent by Nvim), populate the OSC
sequence in the v:termresponse variable and fire the TermResponse event.
The escape sequence is also included in the "data" field of the
autocommand callback when the autocommand is defined in Lua.
This makes use of the already documented but unimplemented TermResponse
event. This event exists in Vim but is only fired when Vim receives a
primary device attributes response.

It is a design goal of extmarks that they allow precise tracking
of changes across undo/redo, including restore the exact positions
after a do/undo or undo/redo cycle. However this behavior is not useful
for all usecases. Many plugins won't keep marks around for long after
text changes, but uses them more like a cache until some external source
(like LSP semantic highlights) has fully updated to changed text and
then will explicitly readjust/replace extmarks as needed.
Add a "undo_restore" flag which is true by default (matches existing
behavior) but can be set to false to opt-out of this behavior.
Delete dead u_extmark_set() code.

While the interfaces for setting number and boolean options are now unified by #25394, there is still a separate `set_string_option` function that is used for setting a string option. This PR removes that function and merges it with set_option.
BREAKING CHANGE: `v:option_old` is now the old global value for all global-local options, instead of just string global-local options. Local value for a global-local number/boolean option is now unset when the option is set (e.g. using `:set` or `nvim_set_option_value`) without a scope, which means they now behave the same way as string options.
