long is 32 bits on windows, while it is 64 bits on other architectures.
This makes the type suboptimal for a codebase meant to be
cross-platform. Replace it with more appropriate integer types.
Memfile used a private implementation of an open hash table with intrusive collision chains, but there is
no reason to assume the standard khash_t based Map won't work just fine.
Yes, we are taking full ownership and maintenance over memline and memfile.
No one is going to maintain it for us.
Trust the plan.
ml_get_buf() takes a third parameters to indicate whether the
caller wants to mutate the memline data in place. However
the vast majority of the call sites is using this function
just to specify a buffer but without any mutation. This makes
it harder to grep for the places which actually perform mutation.
Solution: Remove the bool param from ml_get_buf(). it now works
like ml_get() except for a non-current buffer. Add a new
ml_get_buf_mut() function for the mutating use-case, which can
be grepped along with the other ml_replace() etc functions which
can modify the memline.
Problem: Get E304 when using 'cryptmethod' "xchacha20v2". (Steve Mynott)
Solution: Add 4th crypt method to block zero ID check. Avoid syncing a swap
file before reading the file. (closesvim/vim#12433)

Problem: Code is indented more than necessary.
Solution: Use an early return where it makes sense. (Yegappan Lakshmanan,

Partial port as this depends on some previous eval and 'smoothscroll'

Allow Include What You Use to remove unnecessary includes and only
include what is necessary. This helps with reducing compilation times
and makes it easier to visualise which dependencies are actually
required.
Work on https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/549, but doesn't close
it since this only works fully for .c files and not headers.
Enable and fix bugprone-misplaced-widening-cast warning.
Fix some modernize-macro-to-enum and readability-else-after-return
warnings, but don't enable them. While the warnings can be useful, they
are in general too noisy to enable.
vim-patch:8.2.0559: clearing a struct is verbose
Problem: Clearing a struct is verbose.
Solution: Define and use CLEAR_FIELD() and CLEAR_POINTER().

Problem: Giving error messages is not flexible.
Solution: Add semsg(). Change argument from "char_u *" to "char *", also
for msg() and get rid of most MSG macros. (Ozaki Kiichi, closes
vim/vim#3302) Also make emsg() accept a "char *" argument. Get rid of
an enormous number of type casts.

After this change we never release blocks from memory (in practice it
never happened because the memory limits are never reached). Let the OS
take care of that.
---
On today's systems the 'maxmem' and 'maxmemtot' values are huge (4+ GB)
so the limits are never reached in practice, but Vim wastes a lot of
time checking if the limit was reached.
If the limit is reached Vim starts saving pieces of the swap file that were in
memory to the disk. Said in a different way: Vim implements its own
memory-paging mechanism. This is unnecessary and inefficient since the
operating system already has virtual memory and will swap to the disk if
programs start using too much memory.
This change does...
1. Reduce the number of config options and need for documentation.
2. Make the code more efficient as we don't have to keep track of memory
usage nor check if the memory limits were reached to start swapping
to disk every time we need memory for buffers.
3. Simplify the code. Once memfile.c is simple enough it could be
replaced by actual operating system memory mapping (mmap,
MemoryViewOfFile...). This change does not prevent Vim to recover
changes from swap files since the swapping code is never triggered
with the huge limits set by default.
Problem: Cannot make Vim fail on an internal error.
Solution: Add IEMSG() and IEMSG2(). (Domenique Pelle) Avoid reporting an
internal error without mentioning where.

Problem: On MS-Windows large files (> 2Gbyte) cause problems.
Solution: Use "off_T" instead of "off_t". Use "stat_T" instead of "struct
stat". Use 64 bit system functions if available. (Ken Takata)

Only the off_T changes are relevant, since all the "struct stat" usage
is abstracted by libuv.
`blocksize` was checked against UINT_MAX after it was checked against
MAX_SWAP_PAGE_SIZE which makes it always pass the check. Better use
STATIC_ASSERT instead.

On today's systems these values are huge (4GB in my machine with 8GB of RAM
since it's set as half the available memory by default) so the limits are
never reached in practice, but Vim wastes a lot of time checking if the limit
was reached.
If the limit is reached Vim starts saving pieces of the swap file that were in
memory to the disk. Said in a different way: Vim implements its own memory
swapping mechanism. This is unnecessary and inefficient since the operating
system already virtualized the memory and will swap to the disk if programs
start using too much memory.
This change does...
1. Reduce the number of config options and need for documentation.
2. Make the code more efficient as we don't have to keep track of memory usage
nor check if the memory limits were reached to start swapping to disk every
time we need memory for buffers.
3. Simplify the code. Once `memfile.c` is simple enough it could be replaced by
actual operating system memory mapping (`mmap`, `MemoryViewOfFile`...).
This change does not prevent Vim to recover changes from swap files since the
swapping code is never triggered with the huge limits set by default.
move `call_shell` to misc1.c
Move some fns to state.c
Move some fns to option.c
Move some fns to memline.c
Move `vim_chdir*` fns to file_search.c
Move some fns to new module, bytes.c
Move some fns to fileio.c
- Create `mf_free_fnames()` that frees and nullifies `mf_[f]fname`
- Create `mf_set_fnames()` to set the `mf_fname` and the `mf_ffname`
altoghether
- Have `mf_do_open` return a bool to indicate success so that calles
don't have to check `memfile_T::mf_fd` (file descriptor)
- Inline `mf_write_block`
This header is required by POSIX for the constants (O_RDONLY, etc.)
but we were only including it on Unix systems as a side effect of
including <unistd.h>.
Regarding the individual items in the header:
`Vim - Vi improved by Bram Moolenar`
Bram Moolenar is already mentioned throughout the documentation, as
well as the intro screen.
`:help uganda`
It's already shown to all users who don't use `shortmess+=I` upon
starting nvim, and is already placed prominently in help.txt, i.e.,
`:help` run with no arguments.
`:help credits`
Already mentioned near the top of help.txt.
`README.md`
Already mentioned in develop.txt.
We already use wrappers for allocation, the new `xfree` function is the
equivalent for deallocation and provides a way to fully replace the malloc
implementation used by Neovim.
