Additional modifications:
- More `const` qualifiers in tested functions.
- `tv_list_find_str()` second argument is more in-line with other
`tv_list_find*()` functions.
Tests crash at some point without
- `after_each(collectgarbage)` right before “typval.c list copy() copies list
correctly and converts items” test.
- Commenting out that test.
- Adding `collectgarbage()` after the test (what actually this commit does).
Adding `collectgarbage()` to top-level `after_each` block right after
`restore_allocators` makes running this file crash even if it is run alone.
Also found some bugs:
1. var_item_copy() always fails to copy v:_null_list and v:_null_dict. Fixing
this should mean fixing `deepcopy(v:_null_list)` which should’ve been, but
was not listed in #4615. This also fixes `deepcopy(v:_null_dict)`.
2. var_item_copy() crashes when trying to copy NULL string with `conv != NULL`.
3. `conv` argument is ignored when copying list unless `deep` is true, but it
was not reflected in documentation.
4. `tv_dict_item_alloc_len()` allocated more memory then needed.
5. typvalt2lua was not able to handle self-referencing containers.
This variant uses `fdopen()` which is not standard, but it fixes problem on my
system. In next commit `scriptin` will use `FileDescriptor*` from os/fileio in
place of `FILE*`.
The directory name could contain special characters that trips up the
matching used by find. Instead, let's just make sure that the filename
starts with the directory name.
Used
sed -r -i -e '/ helpers =/ s/$/\nlocal itp = helpers.gen_itp(it)/; s/^(\s*)it\(/\1itp(/' test/unit/**/*_spec.lua
to alter all tests. Locally they all run fine now.
Reasoning:
1. General: state from one test should not affect other tests.
2. Local: travis build is failing with something which may be an output of
garbage collector. This should prevent state of the garbage collector from
interferring as well.
