Jan Edmund Lazo 056fdd97d6 vim-patch:9.0.2123: Problem with initializing the length of range() lists
Problem:  Problem with initializing the length of range() lists
Solution: Set length explicitly when it shouldn't contain any items

range() may cause a wrong calculation of list length, which may later
then cause a segfault in list_find().  This is usually not a problem,
because range_list_materialize() calculates the length, when it
materializes the list.

In addition, in list_find() when the length of the range was wrongly
initialized, it may seem to be valid, so the check for list index
out-of-bounds will not be true, because it is called before the list is
actually materialized. And so we may eventually try to access a null
pointer, causing a segfault.

So this patch does 3 things:

- In f_range(), when we know that the list should be empty, explicitly
  set the list->lv_len value to zero. This should happen, when
  start is larger than end (in case the stride is positive) or
  end is larger than start when the stride is negative.
  This should fix the underlying issue properly. However,

- as a safety measure, let's check that the requested index is not
  out of range one more time, after the list has been materialized
  and return NULL in case it suddenly is.

- add a few more tests to verify the behaviour.

fixes: vim/vim#13557
closes: vim/vim#13563

--------

Vim9 (non) materialize list is N/A.
Port only tests.

Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to:

See the Introduction wiki page and Roadmap for more information.

Features

See :help nvim-features for the full list, and :help news for noteworthy changes in the latest version!

Install from package

Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are found on the Releases page.

Managed packages are in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, Void Linux, Gentoo, and more!

Install from source

See BUILD.md and supported platforms for details.

The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience. After installing the dependencies, run the following command.

make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install

To install to a non-default location:

make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install

CMake hints for inspecting the build:

  • cmake --build build --target help lists all build targets.
  • build/CMakeCache.txt (or cmake -LAH build/) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.
  • build/compile_commands.json shows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.

Transitioning from Vim

See :help nvim-from-vim for instructions.
