Loading existing files into a buffer is non-trivial and requires a window.
Creating an unnamed emtpy buffer is trivial and safe though, thus worth a
special case.
Change nvim_buf_set_option to use aucmd_prepbuf. This is necessary
to allow some options to be set on a not yet displayed buffer, such
as 'buftype' option.
vim-patch:7.4.1858: Add BLN_NEW to enforce buflist_new creating new buffer
There is no need to call update_screen() directly in an API function,
mode input processing invokes update_screen() as needed. And if the API
call is done in a context where redraw is disabled, then redraw is
disabled for a reason. A lot of API functions are of equal semantical
strength (nvim_call_function and nvim_execute_lua can also do whatever,
nvim_command is not special), this inconsistency has no purpose.
Namespaces is a lightweight concept that should be used to group
objects for purposes of bulk operations and introspection. This is
initially used for highlights and virtual text in buffers, and is
planned to also be used for extended marks. There is no plan use them
for privileges or isolation, neither to introduce nanespace-level
options.
msgpack_rpc_to_object (called by handle_request .. msgpack_rpc_to_array)
always NUL-terminates API Strings.
But handle_request .. msgpack_rpc_get_handler_for operates on a raw
msgpack_object, before preparation.
channel.c: WIP remove redundant method check and added FUNC_ATTR_NONNULL_ALL macro
channel.c channel_defs.h helpers.c: added Error field to RequestEvent, added no_op handler func
channel.c: use const char* instead of string and cleanup
channel.c; channel_defs.h; helpers.c: removed error from event again; send errors directly to the channel without using handlers and events
channel.c: fixed memory leak and lint errors
api/private/dispatch.c; api/vim.c; msgpack_rpc/channel.c msgpack_rpc/helpers.c added Error* field to msgpack_get_handler_for; further refactored channel.c
channel.c:323 changed order of evaluation in if statement
channel.c: removed superflous whitespace
dispatch.c: review comment
This condition is not perfectly reliable:
(did_emsg && force_abort && !current_exception)
The more proper way to check for abort-causing non-exception errors is
to set up `msg_list` using the "pattern" given by do_cmdline().
- Return VimL errors instead of generic errors for:
- nvim_call_function
- nvim_call_dict_function
- Fix tests which were silently broken before this change.
This violates #6150 where we agreed not to translate API errors. But
that can be fixed later.
The `internal` param is difficult to explain, and will rarely be
anything but `true`. To avoid it, use a hack: check if the resolved
dict value starts with "function(".
Make `:verbose set ...` show when an option was last modified by an
API client or Lua script/chunk. In the case of an API client, the
channel ID is displayed.
