Problem: 1. The main log routine does not protect itself against recursion. log_lock() doesn't guard against recursion, it would deadlock... 2.22b52dd462(#11501) regressed6f27f5ef91(#10172), because set_init_1..process_spawn tries to log (see backtrace below), but the mutex isn't initialized yet. Even if the mutex were valid, we don't want early logging to fallback to stderr because that can break embedders when stdio is used for RPC. frame 1: 0x00000001001d54f4 nvim`open_log_file at log.c:205:7 frame 2: 0x00000001001d5390 nvim`logmsg(log_level=1, context="UI: ", func_name=0x0000000000000000, line_num=-1, eol=true, fmt="win_viewport") at log.c:150:20 frame : 0x000000010039aea2 nvim`ui_call_win_viewport(grid=2, win=1000, topline=0, botline=1, curline=0, curcol=0, line_count=1) at ui_events_call.generated.h:321:3 frame 4: 0x00000001003dfefc nvim`ui_ext_win_viewport(wp=0x0000000101816400) at window.c:939:5 frame 5: 0x00000001003ec5b4 nvim`win_ui_flush at window.c:7303:7 frame 6: 0x00000001003a04c0 nvim`ui_flush at ui.c:508:3 frame 7: 0x00000001002966ba nvim`do_os_system(argv=0x0000600000c0c000, input=0x0000000000000000, len=0, output=0x0000000000000000, nread=0x00007ff7bfefe830, silent=false, forward_output=false) at shell.c:894:3 frame 8: 0x0000000100295f68 nvim`os_call_shell(cmd="unset nonomatch; vimglob() { while [ $# -ge 1 ]; do echo \"$1\"; shift; done }; vimglob >/var/folders/gk/3tttv_md06987tlwpyp62jrw0000gn/T/nvimwwvwfD/0 ~foo", opts=kShellOptExpand | kShellOptSilent | kShellOptHideMess, extra_args=0x0000000000000000) at shell.c:663:18 frame 9: 0x0000000100295845 nvim`call_shell(cmd="unset nonomatch; vimglob() { while [ $# -ge 1 ]; do echo \"$1\"; shift; done }; vimglob >/var/folders/gk/3tttv_md06987tlwpyp62jrw0000gn/T/nvimwwvwfD/0 ~foo", opts=kShellOptExpand | kShellOptSilent | kShellOptHideMess, extra_shell_arg=0x0000000000000000) at shell.c:712:14 frame 10: 0x0000000100294c6f nvim`os_expand_wildcards(num_pat=1, pat=0x00007ff7bfefeb20, num_file=0x00007ff7bfefee58, file=0x00007ff7bfefee60, flags=43) at shell.c:328:7 ... frame 23: 0x000000010028ccef nvim`expand_env_esc(srcp=",~foo", dst="~foo", dstlen=4094, esc=false, one=false, prefix=0x0000000000000000) at env.c:673:17 frame 24: 0x000000010026fdd5 nvim`option_expand(opt_idx=29, val=",~foo") at option.c:1950:3 frame 25: 0x000000010026f129 nvim`set_init_1(clean_arg=false) at option.c:558:19 frame 26: 0x00000001001ea25e nvim`early_init(paramp=0x00007ff7bfeff5f0) at main.c:198:3 frame 27: 0x00000001001ea6bf nvim`main(argc=1, argv=0x00007ff7bfeff848) at main.c:255:3 Solution: 1. Check for recursion, show "internal error" message. - FUTURE: when "remote TUI" is merged, can we remove log_lock()? 2. Skip logging if log_init wasn't called yet.

Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to:
- Simplify maintenance and encourage contributions
- Split the work between multiple developers
- Enable advanced UIs without modifications to the core
- Maximize extensibility
See the Introduction wiki page and Roadmap for more information.
Features
- Modern GUIs
- API access from any language including C/C++, C#, Clojure, D, Elixir, Go, Haskell, Java, JavaScript/Node.js, Julia, Lisp, Lua, Perl, Python, Racket, Ruby, Rust
- Embedded, scriptable terminal emulator
- Asynchronous job control
- Shared data (shada) among multiple editor instances
- XDG base directories support
- Compatible with most Vim plugins, including Ruby and Python plugins
See :help nvim-features for the full list!
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 the Building Neovim wiki page 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_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
See :help nvim-from-vim for instructions.
