Problem: too many strlen() calls when adding strings to dicts
Solution: Refactor code to use string_T, use dict_add_string_len()
instead of dict_add_string() (John Marriott)
Additionally:
- In textprop.c, in function prop_fill_dict() use a string_T to store
local variable text_align.
- In popupwin.c, use a string_T to store struct member pp_name in struct
poppos_entry_T.
- In mark.c, refactor function add_mark() to pass in the length of
argument mname.
- In insexpand.c:
->Use a string_T to store the elements of static array
ctrl_x_mode_names.
->Refactor function trigger_complete_done_event():
->->change type of argument char_u *word to string_T *word.
->->make one access of array ctrl_x_mode_names instead of two.
->Refactor function ins_compl_mode() to accept a string_T to return the
resulting string.
- In fileio.c:
->Refactor function getftypewfd() to accept a string_T to return the
resulting string.
->In function create_readdirex_item() use a string_T to store local
variable q.
- In cmdexpand.c, store global cmdline_orig as a string_T.
- In autocmd.c, in function f_autocmd_get() use a string_T to store local
variables event_name and group_name. Measure their lengths once when
they are assigned so they are not remeasured on each call to
dict_add_string() in the subsequent for loop.
- In channel.c, in function channel_part_info() drop local variable status
and use s instead. Make s a string_T.

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 helplists all build targets.build/CMakeCache.txt(orcmake -LAH build/) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.build/compile_commands.jsonshows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.
