Problem: statusline: buffer overflow with item groups
Solution: Fix the issues (see below) (Sébastien Hoffmann)
Fix various buffer overflow bugs (examples assume MAXPATHL==4096):
- truncated item groups where minwid>maxwid:
vim --clean +"set ls=2 stl=%<%{%repeat('x',4096-11)%}%50.5(12🙂345%)"
leads to fillchars spilling over the end of the group/buffer while trying to
compensate for truncating at a multicell character because minwid<=maxwid is assumed
- left-aligned item groups with multi-byte fillchar:
vim --clean +"set ls=2 fillchars+=stl:∙ stl=%<%{%repeat('x',4096-3)%}%-2(X%)"
wrongly leads to padding at the end of the statusline and `p-out==4097`
because the bounds check assumes a 1-byte fillchar
- right-aligned item groups with 1-byte fillchar:
vim --clean +"set ls=2 stl=%<%{%repeat('x',4096-4)%}%4(XY%)"
leads to "YX" instead of "XY" at the end of the statusline
because `memmove` is done before adjusting the offset
- right-aligned item groups with multi-byte fillchar:
vim --clean +"set ls=2 fillchars+=stl:∙ stl=%5(X%)"
leads to "∙∙∙∙<e2>", i.e. the fillchar is being written over the group contents
and eventually being overwritten itself at the second byte with the final NUL,
because the padding counter assumes a 1-byte fillchar; to crash vim,
vim --clean +"set ls=2 fillchars+=stl:∙ stl=%<%{%repeat('x',4096-149)%}%50(X%)"

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 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.
