Problem: using int as bool
Solution: refactor: use bool type for internal flags in buf_T
(Hirohito Higashi)
Change the type of 23 internal state flag fields in buf_T from int
to bool for improved type clarity and code readability.
These fields are pure boolean flags that are never accessed via the
option system's varp (which uses *(int *)varp = value), never compared
with int fields holding non-0/1 values, and never use tristate values.
Converted fields:
- State flags: b_dev_valid, b_saving, b_mod_set, b_new_change,
b_marks_read, b_modified_was_set, b_did_filetype, b_keep_filetype,
b_au_did_filetype, b_u_synced, b_scanned, b_p_initialized
- Characteristic flags: b_has_textprop, b_may_swap, b_did_warn,
b_help, b_spell, b_shortname, b_has_sign_column, b_netbeans_file,
b_was_netbeans_file, b_write_to_channel, b_diff_failed
All TRUE/FALSE assignments to these fields have been updated to
true/false accordingly. The type of temporary save variables
(e.g. help_save in tag.c) has also been adjusted to bool.
Option value fields (b_p_XXX) are kept as int because they are
accessed via the option system and some use tristate (-1) semantics.
Fields compared with int option values (b_start_eof, b_start_eol,
b_start_bomb) are also kept as int to preserve comparison integrity.

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.
Transitioning from Vim
