Problem: there are new ways to escape textlock or break the cmdwin in
nvim_win_set_config and nvim_tabpage_set_win.
Solution: fix them. Use win_goto to check it in nvim_tabpage_set_win and use the
try_start/end pattern like with similar functions such as nvim_set_current_win
(which uses the existing msg_list, if set).
Careful not to use `wp->handle` when printing the window ID in the error message
for nvim_tabpage_set_win, as win_goto autocommands may have freed the window.
On a related note, I have a feeling some API functions ought to be checking
curbuf_locked...
Note: this contains two _temporary_ changes which can be reverted
once the Arena vs no-Arena distinction in API wrappers has been removed.
Both nlua_push_Object and object_to_vim_take_luaref() has been changed
to take the object argument as a pointer. This is not going to be
necessary once these are only used with arena (or not at all) allocated
Objects.
The object_to_vim() variant which leaves luaref untouched might need to
stay for a little longer.
FUNC_ATTR_* should only be used in .c files with generated headers.
Defining FUNC_ATTR_* as empty in headers causes misuses of them to be
silently ignored. Instead don't define them by default, and only define
them as empty after a .c file has included its generated header.
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.
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.
Add space around arithmetic operators '+' and '-'.
Remove space between back-to-back parentheses, i.e. ')(' vs. ') ('.
Remove space between '((' or '))' of control statements.
Add space between ')' and '{' of control statements.
Remove space between function name and '(' on function declaration.
Collapse empty blocks between '{' and '}'.
Remove newline at the end of the file.
Remove newline between 'enum' and '{'.
Remove newline between '}' and ')' in a function invocation.
Remove newline between '}' and 'while' of 'do' statement.
Reasonings:
1. It is not used for anything, but scope dictionaries currenly. So there is no
need to generalize and split it into dict_set_var (which will contain some
scope-dictionary-specific checks) and dict_set_value (which will work for any
dictionary).
2. Check for key size is no longer valid for non-scope dictionaries: you *can*
use empty keys there. In scope dictionaries also, but you actually are not
supposed to store there anything, but variables.
Note that actually one may still do
let b:[''] = 1
and “bypass” check for variable name. It won’t change what `echo b:` will show,
but it may affect code which iterates over scope dictionary keys and sets them
to something (if there is such code).
In order to provide better compatibility with the classic bindings, the
API needs to provide the ability to query the number (really index) of
the window/tabpage.
This is needed for neovim/python-client#87, as discussed in
neovim/neovim#1898.

API functions exposed via msgpack-rpc now fall into two categories:
- async functions, which are executed as soon as the request is parsed
- sync functions, which are invoked in nvim main loop when processing the
`K_EVENT special key
Only a few functions which can be safely executed in any context are marked as
async.
- Add error type information to `Error`
- Rename `set_api_error` to `api_set_error` for consistency with other api_*
functions/macros.
- Refactor the api_set_error macro to accept formatted strings and error types
- Improve error messages
- Wrap error messages with gettext macro
- Refactor msgpack-rpc serialization to transform Error instances into [type,
message] arrays
- Add error type information to API metadata
- Normalize nvim->client and client->nvim error handling(change
channel_send_call to accept an Error pointer instead of the `errored` boolean
pointer)
- Use macro to initialize Error structures
Adapt gendeclarations.lua/msgpack-gen.lua to allow the `ArrayOf(...)` and
`DictionaryOf(...)` types in function headers. These are simple macros that
expand to Array and Dictionary respectively, but the information is kept in the
metadata object, which is useful for building clients in statically typed
languages.
Specialized array types(BufferArray, WindowArray, etc) were added to the API for
two main reasons:
- msgpack used to lack a way of serializing appliaction-specific types and there
was no obvious way of making an API function accept/return arrays of custom
objects such as buffers(which are represented as integers, so clients didn't
have a way to distinguish from normal numbers)
- Let clients in statically-typed languages that support generics have a better
typed API
With msgpack 2.0 EXT type the first item is no longer a factor and this commit
starts by removing the specialized array types. The second item will be
addressed in the future by making the API metadata return extra useful
information for statically-typed languages.
- Define specialized arrays for each remote object type
- Implement msgpack_rpc functions for dealing with the new types
- Refactor all functions dealing with buffers, windows and tabpages to
return/accept handles instead of list indexes.
Instead of exposing native C types to a public API that can be consumed by other
platforms, we are now using the following translation:
int64_t -> Integer
double -> Float
bool -> Boolean
Move files from src/ to src/nvim/.
- src/nvim/ becomes the new root dir for nvim executable sources.
- src/libnvim/ is planned to become root dir of the neovim library.
