Changes for vile 9.5 (released ??? ??? ?? ????) 20041107 (k) > Tom Dickey: + modify glob_match_leaf() to work with 8-bit characters. + correct loop in glob_match_leaf(), which did not handle strings such as "[!strings xyz-]". + correct expression in filters.rc for %filters-modes (report by Duncan Sargeant). + fix conflict between DECWindows Motif/Xt libraries and the non-Motif Xt library in vmsbuild.com + make xvile compile properly on VMS by defining XTSTRINGDEFINES. + modify catnap() function to use IEEE floating point on IA64, since that platform does not support F-floats. + modify vmsbuild.com and descrip.mms to work with IA64. + add $goal-column variable for debugging. + fix quoting and parameter list for iconv_open() in configure macro CF_ICONV_FUNC. 20041031 (j) > Clark Morgan: + add "explicit" and "typename" to cpp.key + correct parameter lists for chgd_icursor() and chgd_popupmenu() in ntconio.c and ntwinio.c which were not updated in 9.4b, which added a BUFFER* parameter. > Tom Dickey: + add parameter to hst_append() to control logic which is used to build up shell commands for replay. Use this parameter to suppress shell command construction when prompting for regular expressions and other strings that cannot be shell commands (report by Daniel L Ashbrook). + save/restore MK in kbd_reply() to work around lost value of MK when swbuffer() is called as a side-effect of name-completion. This caused commands such as !Gls /tmp/ to report a "BUG: no mark" (report by Daniel L Ashbrook). + modify PromptAndSet() to allow a cancelled prompt for variable's value to store an ERROR token, which can be tested in scripts with &error (request by Clark Morgan). + modify filters.rc, modes.rc and vileinit.rc as follows (reports by Clark Morgan and J Chris Coppic): + filters.rc turns on automatic syntax highlighting only if both builtin-filters and colors are available. Before 9.4i, vileinit.rc turned on automatic syntax highlighting. NOTE: if you are using external syntax filters, vileinit.rc no longer automatically enables highlighting for this case. The builtin or loadable filters perform better for most systems. + add a variable %filters-modes, set in modes.rc to be tested by filters.rc to ensure that modes.rc is source'd if needed. Both of these files are sourced by vileinit.rc in 9.4i, but not everyone uses vileinit.rc + update vile.hlp to reflect these changes. + ensure values for $bchars and $blines are up-to-date, e.g., if which-keywords is called twice in succession in the same macro the values were not, causing the [Which Keywords] content to be repeated. + indent'd vmsvt.c, vms2unix.c + add VMS mode record-attrs, modify logic in vms_creat() to use this information to make the default VFC files written from DCL editable. Those use PRN (print file format) record attributes (report by Jordan Henderson). + modify terminal settings for VMS to improve type-ahead. + add xterm-style bindings for F1-F5 to vmsvt.c + modify which.rc to use &pcat rather than $pathname-separator, since the latter is ambiguous on VMS. + modify infer_majormode() to work with VMS pathnames. + correct logic for VMS pathnames so that a directory buffer will, as on Unix, give the same buffer name as the directory leaf. + improve fakevms test-driver and related OPT_VMS_PATH code for VMS pathnames, making name-completion work for VMS pathnames on Unix. + fix a memory leak in old_namebst(). + modify tb_bappend() to avoid memcpy() with the same source/target address (valgrind warning). + add/use CAN_TRACE symbol to allow configure --with-no-leaks, since the unfilter program otherwise fails to link in that configuration. + add some discussion of character classes to vile.hlp + fixes for vile-9.4.spec, adds vile-pager to list of installed files and installs manpage in the normal man-directory (patch by Radek Liboska). + add configure option --with-iconv, use that to extend termcap driver to allow it to handle encodings other than Latin-1, e.g., Latin-2 (request by Radek Liboska). + extend workaround for UTF-8 locale in termcap driver to translate UTF-8 input to Latin-1. + improve/extend checks for locales which correspond to 8-bit character encoding, resetting to POSIX locale (ASCII) if the nl_langinfo() function returns a value that does not look like ASCII or ISO-8859-x. This change applies to the termcap/terminfo and X11 drivers. + show locale and encoding values in header of [Printable Chars]. + add $encoding and $locale variables to show what vile's internal 8-bit encoding and locale are set to. + turn on locale feature on win32 + workaround for broken locale table on Solaris8 and Windows2000, etc., which shows tab as both as printable and a control character. The ISO C standard states that control characters are not printable. + add nmakemode, for special cases such as M$'s ".dsp" files. + add syntax filter for AutoIt version 3 and majormode au3mode. + correct pattern for HEX in bas-filt.l 20040808 (i) > Mark Robinson: + split-out modes.rc from filters.rc to make configuration more flexible, e.g., for --disable-filters. > Tom Dickey: + add named operators (eq, ge, gt, le, lt, ne, or, and, cmp, not, xor) to perl syntax highlighter check for tokens that may precede a pattern (report by Daniel L Ashbrook). + fix escaping within strings for tcmode; it was looking only for ":" or newline, but any character could be escaped. + fix highlighting of aliases without description in tcmode and timode. + add ".tic" as a suffix for timode. 20040620 (h) > Tom Dickey: + correct which-keywords to work with 9.4e change that appends "mode" to majormode parameters of procedures. + rename utility macro which-filename to WhichFilename, to avoid conflict with which-filter. + add/use tb_setlen() in run_func() to update the lengths of TBUFF's which are built by unusual methods, e.g., allocating a large TBUFF and using lengthen_path() to rewrite its contents. This was not a noticeable problem until run_func() called tb_enquote(), which assumed the TBUFF length was correct. + modify FindMode() in perl.xs to dequote results from evaluating a function, since 9.4f changes cause string results of functions to always be quoted. 20040617 (g) > Clark Morgan: + modify manpage.rc and color-ls.rc to avoid showing their guts if aborted. + vile.hlp changes: + add discussion of mode-pathname and mode-filename to the section on Majormodes. + add notes about optimizing suffixes for C versus C++ editing. > Fabien Coutant: + add experimental plugin support and example. > Tom Dickey: + indent'd ansi.c + configure-script fixes: + change prerequisite to autoconf 2.13.20030927 patch, mainly for OS/2 EMX. Other systems use the 2.52-generated configure script. + modify --with-Xaw3d, --with-neXtaw and --with-XawPlus options to avoid being confused by options such as --without-Xaw3d. + several fixes to accommodate quoted string definitions introduced in some imake configurations, which did not work with the CF_ADD_CFLAGS macro's parsing. + modify CF_X_TOOLKIT to remove the checks for clix (obsolete) and move the call to AC_PATH_XTRA to the beginning - which it essentially was anyway. Now it simply calls AC_PATH_XTRA and ensures that I can get -lXt and -lX11. Reading the code, it seems that the IRIX6/IRIX5 issue was taken care of in autoconf 2.13. + modify CF_NCURSES_LIBS to only look for -lmytinfo when building with ncurses. This works around FreeBSD's broken linker semantics when configuring for ncursesw. + add $error-tabstop variable, to allow changing the tabstop value used when interpreting %C results in the error finder. Most programs assume 8, and that does not work well when editing buffers with other tabstops such as 4. + correct perl highlighting of subscripts which happen to be the same as quote-operator names, e.g., $foo{y} (report by Daniel L Ashbrook). + correct perl highlighting of variables within double quotes, ignoring single-quotes which may happen to follow, e.g., "foo = '$foo'" (report by Daniel L Ashbrook). + correct logic in vl_lookup_func(), which did not allow match on ">", since that appeared to conflict with ">seq" (report by Clark Morgan). + change TPRINTF() macro so that if debugging trace is turned on, the same text that would be written to [Trace] is also written to the Trace.out file. + modify dofmt() to handle "%*.*s" and "%.*s" formats, removed "%*S" format. + replace doc/indent.pro with ncu-indent, a script which allows preview of the indent changes. Note that preview relies on bug-fixes which are not in "official" indent. See the indent section in http://invisible-island.net/gnu-patches/gnu-patches.html + modify needQuotes() to return true only if both conditions apply (the token needs quoting and it is not the first token) rather than either. This makes [History] show things like set tags=foo set tags="foo bar" rather than set "tags"="foo" set "tags"="foo bar" + revise quoting of strings returned by run_func(), using new functions tb_enquote() and tb_dequote(). This fixes case such as set tags='' write-message &cat "tags: " $tags which lost one of the single-quotes when the "set" command was interactive (report by Clark Morgan). + modify cppmode's suffixes to look for .C, .H and .CC only on systems where filenames are case-sensitive. + call attrib_matches() at the end of attribute_directly() to restore highlighting due to visual-matches. This fixes a bug where autocolor might wipe that highlighting away (report by Clark Morgan). + modify pattern for logmode to allow filenames such as gmake.out + modify latexflt.l to not color "|" in TEXT state. + add map's for newer XFree86 xterm shifted cursor-keys (see + improve label-expression in dcl-filt.l + modify dcl-filt.l to recognize $DECK / $EOD literal lines. + modify c-filt.c to recognize Java double suffix, e.g., 1.0e1d + revise/extend js.key based on ECMA-262 and other online information. + add a mode-pathname setting for cppmode, so files under (for example) /usr/include/g++ will be treated as C++. Newer C++ headers have no suffixes. + add ".hpp" to suffixes for cppmode. + add ".el" to suffixes for lispmode. + add an "-s" option to c-filt.c, for JavaScript (to support jsmode). Use this to control whether to allow regular expressions in certain cases. 20040411 (f) > Clark Morgan: + modify vilemode, adding "sections" expression. + vile.hlp changes: + modify syntax coloring topic to remove prerequisites that refer to features from long, long ago ("nocmode" and old copies of c syntax coloring files) that most users won't remember or encounter. + revamped "Editor modes" section, in particular, moving discussion of majormodes to a point in the help file that directly follows syntax coloring. + added mode flavor tags (B, U, W, M) to modes that lacked same. + documented that "suffixes" is tested against a filename's complete path. + stripped c-tabstop from vile startup example. + explicitly emphasized ignoresuffix's behavior. + for cindent, tabstop and shiftwidth modes, documented cmode's default local mode values. + added a "Majormodes" section. Added a subsection entitled "cmode: the original vile builtin majormode" > Tom Dickey: + indent'd csrch.c, globals.c, map.c, wordmov.c + modify logic for RS_AUTO to treat it consistently as the "default" keyword for record separator (report by Clark Morgan). + remove an unnecessary message from makelist.sh (report by Clark Morgan). + modify mac_tokval() to avoid calling tb_scopy() if the result from tokval() is the original pointer plus one (for stripping a leading quote), fixes an overlapping memcpy warning from valgrind. + correct logic in test_by_suffix(), which was not obtaining the submode value for "ignoresuffix" as intended (discussion with Clark Morgan). + modify comparison for maplength to use at least 25. Very small values make vile unusable (report by Clark Morgan). + revert part of the initialization in substreg1() so the replacement pattern is reset rather than copied (report by Brendan O'Dea, 9.3n). + make "TODO" a txtmode file. + add ".shar" to shmode suffixes. + add "&match" and "&cmatch" functions for checking if a given regular expression matches a string (request by Clark Morgan). + split up the majormode "suffixes" into suffixes, mode-filename and mode-pathname to make it clearer how to associated regular expressions with the filename for majormodes (discussion with Clark Morgan). + remove explicit assignment to DESTDIR in makefile.in's, since newer GNU make program does not allow command-line to override it (it apparently did work with some version of GNU make in 1999 for 8.3i). + correct logic in perl.xs from 9.4d which parses $VILE_LIBDIR_PATH; it used the wrong variable for storing an intermediate result. 20040321 (e) > Clark Morgan: + document set-highlighting macro in vile.hlp + update/revise some details in doc/modes.doc relating to cmode: + remove any mention of "set cmode" as a (presently) useful command. + list "setl [no]{majormode}" as essential majormode features [as near as I can tell, "setl {majormode}" is the only mechanism available for a user to explicitly attach a majormode to a buffer] + update the history of majormodes to reflect the way things were in the past, but not now. This is done primarily by changing the grammatical tense of various sentences. > Tom Dickey: + add mode "ignoresuffix", which tells vile to strip the given pattern from a filename before matching majormode suffixes against it. + add mode "showchar", which turns on a field in the modeline that tells what the character value is at the current editing position. + modify pregion() to reset the "counted" state on the buffer, to work around a case on win32, where CRLF_LINES is set, the "p" command's output did not count the extra byte per line for ^M's. When saving [p-lines] to a file, it was truncated. + modify isMiniEdit() to always return true if miniedit mode is set. That allows one to use ^Ga to toggle miniedit mode and append to the buffer shown from a previous command rather than having it erased (discussion with George Eccles). + modify mac_tokval() to avoid calling tb_scopy() if the result from tokval() is the original pointer, fixes an overlapping memcpy warning from valgrind. + fix incremental-search's initialization, broken in 9.3l (report by Richard Mitchell). + improve COMMENT expression in txt-filt.l to include the lines of dashes in vile.hlp (report by Clark Morgan). + fix to avoid putting dummy entries into the list of all modes when a corresponding short modename does not exist for a given submode of a majormode. That was making ":set " show names such as "RCSX" and "cppX". + fix a couple of places reported by gcc -Wundef on OS/2, e.g., the OPT_WORKING macro. + modify htmlfilt.l to use caseless comparison for HTML keywords. + improve configure-script checks for dbmalloc and dmalloc. + modify preamble pattern for pymode to work with #!/usr/bin/python2.3 -S + modified [a-z] expression to [\a] in preamble for awkmode, cshmode, sedmode, shmode, tclmode to allow uppercase options. + add ".jsp" to jsmode suffixes. + fix imake filter to handle a case where XCOMM comment contained a colon; it was highlighted as if it were a makefile target. + modify name-completion for majormode names used as macro parameters to use the long name (with "mode" ending) rather than the short name, for consistency (suggested by Clark Morgan). + modify filters/*.awk to ensure that space-separated lists for the --with-builtin-filters, etc., options are handled properly. Both comma-separated and space-separated lists are permitted now (report by Clark Morgan). + fix missing assignments from 9.4b changes to $builtins and $loadable variables in configure script, which caused build to fail if explicit list was given for --with-builtin-filters or --with-loadable-filters (report by Clark Morgan). 20031220 (d) > Tom Dickey: + modify pl-filt.c to handle sub y { } i.e., not treat the "y" as the beginning of a pattern. + modify perl.xs to allow for $VILE_LIBDIR_PATH to be a list of paths. Only add the corresponding xxx/perl names to @INC if they correspond to a real directory. + rewrote pascal syntax filter in lex, adding highlighting for numbers, and TurboC, Delphi comments. + improve pascal keywords. + relax check for dlopen() by assuming that at least RTLD_LAZY is defined. This works for SunOS 4.1.4. + add a check in de_extend_lines() for a null wp->w_line.l, recover by resetting to the buffer-head (report by George Eccles). + add some more debugging code, calls to valid_buffer(), valid_window() and new functions valid_line_bp(), valid_line_wp(). + change minimum/maximum repeat counts for regular expressions from a byte to an integer (report by George Eccles). + modify "dist" rule in makefile.wnt to make it set the name of the zip-file based on the executable. Add a ".map" file to the zip file. 20031105 (c) > Tom Dickey: + improved check for dlsym to make loadable filters work on Solaris and IRIX64 (tested with gcc). + make "--disable-echo" apply to making the loadable filters. + use EXEEXT and OBJEXT in generated makefiles. + corrected parameter to lookup_filter(); it did not account for the $filtername symbol, e.g., as used for cshmode to invoke vile-sh-filt. + corrected ifdef's in cfgopts() used to build xvile's $cfgopts values. The ifdef's used "#ifdef" rather than "#if", causing all possible values to be shown (from 9.3e). 20031102 (b) > Brendan O'Dea: + add code to support dynamic loading of syntax filters which are compiled as a shared object. > Tom Dickey: + modify is_ESCAPED() in pl-filt.c to not treat backslash before double-quote specially. This fixes man2html, which contains a line *bs = \"\b"; + modify latexflt.l to recognize strings such as "\def$", which begin a redefinition of "$". + remove suffix conflict between latex and tex modes. + modify check in set_vilemode() so that buffers other than the current one can be set, provided that they are not scratch buffers. A change in 20030630 had suppressed set_vilemode() for buffers other than the current one, from noting odd error messages when the current buffer was [Buffer List], which is a scratch buffer and therefore cannot have a majormode assigned to it. + add "--with-loadable-filters" option to configure script and modified related files to integrate Brendan O'Dea's patch for dynamic loading. Timed filtering of vile's larger source-files to compare the three schemes. Loadable filters ran about 50% slower than the builtin filters, while external filters ran about 5 times slower (ymmv). + use AC_EXEEXT in configure script. + modify configure script check for imake's $CFLAGS to ensure that imake or xmkmf was found. 20031008 (a) > Daniel L Ashbrook: + add lispmode, to use vile-lisp-filt. > Mark Robinson: + add cygwin to OPT_CASELESS + modify xvile's wheelScrollAmount resource to scroll by pages if the resource value is negative. > Tom Dickey: + correct suffix pattern for xresmode, which did not match ".Xdefaults" (see 9.2p). + add macro "which-menu" to which.rc, which shows the locations that xvile checks for a menu-file. + revise lookup for xvile's menu file to look for dotnames in the current and home-directories, while non-dotnames may be found there and in $HOME/.vile and on $startup-path. Combine this with changing the default for $menu-file back to ".vilemenu" as documented rather than "vilemenu.rc". The latter name is used in the non-dotname locations if $menu-file is a dot-name (report by Alf Pearce noted that the default for $menu-file no longer matched the documented ".vilemenu"). + change order of charinit() and global_val_init() so that mkupper() works, e.g., for use in computing the value of $XVILE_MENU (report by Alf Pearce noted that the environment variable did not work). + improve lisp syntax highlighting (reports by Daniel L Ashbrook, used the HyperSpec for reference): + recognize "#|"..."|#" comments. + revise patterns for numbers. + allow decimal digits embedded in identifiers + change makefile.djg to use zip rather than pkzip, and go32-v2.exe rather than go32.exe + improve configure check for , which may be . + correct highlighting of sh construct ${#variable} (report by Michael Finken). Changes for vile 9.4 (released Mon Aug 04 2003) 20030727 (v) > Kevin Buettner, Paul Fox: + fix include-path in filters/makefile.in to allow compiling with separate src/build trees. > Tom Dickey: + set regionshape to EXACT in editMiniBuffer() before executing editing commands. + review/fix several places where a negative value could be converted to unsigned, or a zero value might be used as a malloc-size (report by Paul Fox dealt with a negative length passed to tb_bappend). + add "profile$" and "\.bash_[a-z]\+$" to shmode suffixes. + modify print_usage() to exit with non-error status if only the usage message was requested. 20030708 (u) > Tom Dickey: + modify parsing of here-document tags in sh-filt.l to allow '-', '<' and '>' characters if the tag is quoted. This is used in some recent shar-files, e.g., cone.shar + modify filters.h to allow HP's lex program to be used: + put declarations for yylex() and yywrap() in gcc-specific ifdef + add definition of YYCHAR_ARRAY to prevent redefinition of yytext[] which caused failure to compile because HP's compiler refused to compare char* and unsigned char* pointers. + correct a missing dependency for neproto.h in descrip.mms 20030630 (t) > Tom Dickey: + add VMS to the OPT_CASELESS ifdef's, allowing majormodes to be recognized. + reorganized vmsbuild.com to allow the first parameter to be used as a goto-target (which it was originally). VMS DCL does not allow a goto target to match when within an if-then-else block. + restore selection-highlighting at the end of attribute-directly. + add a check in update() to avoid calling newscreensize() when it would not really be able to adjust the screensize. Otherwise, update's while-loop would not terminate. + guard vtinit() against interrupt to ensure that a SIGWINCH does not cause newscreensize() to recur into it. + set "vilemode" for [History] buffer. + modify vilefilt.l to highlight shell commands. + fix an ifdef in main.c so valid_buffer() and valid_window() compile with Visual C++. 20030618 (s) > Tom Dickey: + modify detach_attrib() to ensure that its parameter is still a valid buffer pointer. + add debug functions valid_buffer() and valid_window() and non-debug macros to replace null-pointer checks on BUFFER* and WINDOW* pointers with more extensive sanity checking. 20030611 (r) > Tom Dickey: + add a dummy entry to table in siginit() for VMS, which has no signal handlers. + correct a sign-extension problem with SAME() macro in regexp.c, which made searches for upper-128 characters fail. 20030526 (q) > Danny Zerkel: + revert part of regexp.c changes in regmatch(), which caused pattern "^ *case" to not match lines with more than one blank. > Paul Fox: + modify ansi.c to get screensize from system. + modify display.c to ensure default $modeline-format is interpreted when building with SMALLER. > Tom Dickey: + correct logic in hst_display(), which did not check for the case where a shell command was being appended to an empty result. The code only checked if the result was not a shell command before splitting the source into tokens. This would happen for a sequence of commands such as :!ls foo :!mv bar foo :e! :! Then scrolling back through history would show only "!mv" and "!ls" rather than the complete command. + indent'd termio.c + removed ifdef's for SYS_APOLLO. + minor fix to imdying(), shows the list of files only if 'wrote' was set, just in case none could be written. + modify imdying() so email is always sent on a failure if VILE_ERROR_ABORT is defined. This helps distinguish accidentally typing 'Q' versus a failure. + modify ExitProgram() to reset fatal-error signals back to default, so abort() will work properly, i.e., make a core dump. Modify imdying() so that if VILE_ERROR_ABORT is defined, ExitProgram() is called rather than abort(). The latter calls abort() if the environment variable $VILE_ERROR_ABORT is set. + add cases for 'u', 'U', 'x' and 'X' to RegStrChr2(), making the [:upper:] and [:xdigit:] regular expression character classes work. + modify configure script to suppress -Winline if using gcc 3.3, since that feature is broken. + tested with gcc 3.3 and g++ 3.3, modifying several interfaces to use 'const'. gcc 3.x also introduces more nonstandard name-pollution. + add configure check/warning for flex 2.5.31, which has broken support for the "-P" option used for built-in filters. + reorder lex-based filters to allow building with flex 2.5.31, which introduces several incompatibilities with respect to flex 2.5.4 and lex (report by Brendan O'Dea). + add makefile rules to generate test-programs for btree.c, regexp.c 20030510 (p) > Danny Zerkel: + revert 9.3o change for pl-filt.c, since "!" should be allowed as a pattern delimiter. + add a limit check in pl-filt.c > Tom Dickey: + modify manpage.rc to check if the current buffer is perl, and if so, to render contents using pod2man or pod2text. + several fixes for pl-filt.c (vile-perl-filt): + check for a leading POD area, i.e., the first line is "=head", with no preceding blank lines. + allow floating-point numbers without a decimal point. + add "@", ";", "=" to QUOTE_DELIMS + add preprocessor keywords such as __END__ to perl.key + check for __DATA__ keyword, which ends the script like __END__. + add "grep", "unless", "until", "while" to the keywords which may have a pattern following not in parenthesis. + improve logic in is_QIDENT, testing for a quoted string in addition to an identifier for here-document marker. + check for identifier after "$#". + check for typeglob, i.e, a "*" preceding an identifier, e.g,. "*x". + add check in add_to_PATTERN() for nested parenthesis, e.g., when parenthesis are the pattern delimiters. + modify add_to_PATTERN() to accommodate multiple delimiters in a substitute command, e.g., "s{a}(b)". + check for pattern immediately after a left curly-brace. + modify check for operators to allow "||", etc., not within parentheses. + make buffer-checks more readable with macros MORE() and ATLEAST(). + check for "..." in pattern, which makes a range of expressions. + parse backtic expressions. + parse file glob expressions. + parse format-statements. + suppress highlighting of variables inside single-quotes. + show variables highlighted inside double-quoted here-documents. + correct count returned from is_ESCAPED(), which did not count the character after the backslash if it was a quote character. + correct logic in encode_attributes(), which did not recompute region size for a buffer attribute that started on the current line, but did not end there. + add un-filters (atr2ansi, atr2html, atr2text) which convert encoded control/A text to different forms. + modify "decode-attributes-til" to allow multiple regions to start at the same point. + modify "encode-attributes-til" to set local nohighlight mode on the modified buffer (was global). + modify a limit-check in add_line_attrib(), in case an external filter provides a region that extends beyond the line. In that case, it continued to set attributes beyond the allocated space. + modify "encode-attributes-til" to render selected text with "R" attribute. It would be more consistent to use "S", but there would be no proper way to read the attribute back into vile. + rename a 'lvalue' variable in display.c to avoid conflict with macro preventing compile with unproto on SunOS 4.1. 20030504 (o) > Danny Zerkel: + modify perl filters to disallow a blank between "<<" and the identifier for a here-document. > Tom Dickey: + fix for pl-filt.c, make it treat "!" as an operator rather than a pattern delimiter. + modify support for ^X-e to make it use the whole line if the current buffer is a directory. + use realpath() rather than resolve_directory() if it is available, and "$VILE_PWD" environment variable rather than "." as parameter to getcwd() if it is valid, to speed up operation on quasi-filesystems such as ClearCase (adapted from patch by Danny Zerkel). + add ".PL" to suffixes for perl mode, e.g., for Makefile.PL + add no_minimsgs variable, check in mlmsg() to allow editMiniBuffer() to keep editing commands from overwriting the minibuffer with a message. + improved editMiniBuffer(), correcting treatment of commands which would modify the result. Overlooked in 9.3k, this copies the result from calls on execute() back to the TBUFF passed to editMiniBuffer(). + use insert-mode bindings in editMiniBuffer() when mini-edit mode is active. Use insert-key to toggle, rather than set mini-edit mode (adapted from patch by Mark Robinson). + modify latexflt.l to suppress treatment of "|" as a quoting character when within curly braces (report by Paul van Tilburg). + correct highlighting of "+=" in makefilt.l + move a comment out of the pattern section of latexflt.l to work around bug in HPUX lex (report by Adam Denton). + increase output- and state transitions-limits for latexflt.l, rpm-filt.l, sh-filt.l and vilefilt.l to compile with Solaris and HPUX lex programs (report by Adam Denton). + make configure check for flex's version contingent on ensuring that it is really flex (report by Adam Denton indicates that HPUX lex is confused by "--version", and requires further input). + modify vile-manfilt to decode UTF-8 emitted by groff 1.18 20030318 (n) > Tom Dickey: + fix typo in CF_WCTYPE macro, needed to add "-lw" to $LIBS. + workaround for bug in autoconf 2.52 which made it not show help text for "--with-locale" option, since it was quoted to pass it as a parameter to CF_LOCALE. + modify delins() to work with text that contains nulls. + fixes to make replacepat (the variable that holds the value supplied as a replacement pattern, e.g., when "~" is typed) work with embedded nulls. + move upper/lower case-conversion into tables vl_uppercase[] and vl_lowercase[], so that locale support can replace the DIFCASE variable. + fix an infinite loop in c-filt.c, from 9.3k changes (-j option). 20030310 (m) > Tom Dickey: + revise lgettext() and screen_string() to use TBUFF's directly, fixing the ^X-, macro broken in 9.3k. + fixes to avoid adding a trailing null to the "$search" variable. + correct parenthesis in dfputf(), which truncated "%f" format used to display "count-words" result. + implement logic for hypertext commands in "encode-attributes-til". + fix misplaced ":" appended in "encode-attributes-til". + add mode overlap-matches, to control whether highlighting for the visual-matches mode should skip to the next character, or past the current match when checking. + correct comparison in EXACTLY case of regrepeat(), which broke logic for " *$" pattern - two blanks (reported by Danny Zerkel). + correct limit check in regrepeat(), which must account for the operand size directly since it is no longer null-terminated. Fixes match for patterns such as "X*$" (reported by Danny Zerkel). 20030226 (l) > Tom Dickey: + remove special check in kbd_putc() to advance the cursor, since fix in 9.3k using after_linsert() function duplicated this, making the cursor move twice for each character inserted in the minibuffer. + fix a sign-extension in hash_function() (filters.c), which could make a negative hash code. + modify regexp.c and callers to pass length into regcomp(), making its interface not rely upon whether the pattern is a null-terminated string (prompted by recent change for KBD_0CHAR, which dated from 980312). + add more keywords for js.key + correct handling of backtic in here-document by sh-filt.l when command-substitution happens to be disabled. + modify imdying() to always exit with an error status. + amend changes to editMiniBuffer(), which did not allow arrow-key movement unless the ^G toggle was used. 20030217 (k) > Clark Morgan: + make ^X-s reflect the documentation in vile.hlp by implementing a new command substitute-all-til. > Paul van Tilburg + add Ruby syntax filter (rb-filt.l, rb.key). > Tom Dickey: + add -j option to c-filt.c, to implement some java-specific features such as "$" as part of an identifier, and \u escapes. + fix: java has no 'operator' keyword. + suppress KBD_0CHAR flag in kbd_string() function, since it is only designed to handle null-terminated strings. This plugs a hole which would allow :%s/^@/!/g to have unexpected results (report by Clark Morgan). + correct return from kbd_reply() used in scripts; sometimes it would add an extra null to the result. + correct an overlap between bits used to denote NOMINI (now MINIBUF) and FROM (part of RANGE) which caused some commands to be incorrectly treated as minibuffer editing commands when logic was changed to allow MINIBUF to be treated this way. + implement a few new editing commands in the minibuffer: r, ~, x, X. Other editing commands such as R would require special handling; these are implemented by setting the appropriate flag in cmdtbl. + change cmdtbl to use MINIBUF rather than NOMINI, to implement encoding of editing commands which are limited to the minibuffer. + modify buffer- and filename-completion on Unix to escape backslashes which are stored in the [Completions] buffer. Doing this allows one to complete a buffer or filename containing a backslash (Debian #164593). + add configure check for -lw library, needed for Solaris functions. + correct logic of CF_X_ATHENA_LIBS, which did not really add extra X libraries. + use CF_LOCALE, CF_WITH_DBMALLOC and CF_DMALLOC macros to simplify configure.in + use fltstack.h in sccs filter. + highlight expanded and unexpanded sccs keywords in sccs files. + add texmode, as a variation of latexmode. + add .ltx, .sty suffixes for latexmode. + review/revise latex filter (reports by Daniel L Ashbrook ). It still does not implement \[ \] and \( \) toggles for math mode, but is improved. + cleanup display of whitespace in key-filt.c using new functions chop_newline() and flt_put_blanks() (report by Clark Morgan). + add case for "abbrev" to key-filt.c + improve state stacking in yacc highlighting filter, correcting some problems introduced by fltstack.h changes. + modify lex syntax filter to accept C-style comments in the RULES state; apparently flex allows this. + add a C version of Ruby syntax filter. + add new commands encode-attributes-til and write-encoded-til to convert the syntax highlighting in a region back to control/A sequences, or to write the corresponding data to a file. Added a corresponding alias decode-attributes-til for attribute-cntl_a-sequences-til. + change lrepltext() to use a given length rather than assume its parameter is null-terminated. 20030102 (j) > Clark Morgan: + fix a couple of compile-problems. > Tom Dickey: + correct operation of chgreg() when no text is present in the buffer before inserting the replacement. This makes a command such as 1GcG work properly (report by Paul Fox). + modify tracing code to show names of CMDFUNC's. + modify ifile() to mark a buffer changed only if data were read from the inserted file. Otherwise an error was reported when trying to undo the modified state. + modify getregion() to check if the buffer is empty, and in that case return an empty region with status indicating there is a region. That allows filtering of empty buffers (report by Paul Fox). + trim a leading quote from internal arguments in run_func(), to make this type of construct work properly: setv %w='*.[Cchis] llib-l*' use-reg f load-reg &cat "^X!grep -n -w : " &cat %w "^M" + modify sh-filt.l to handle escaped newlines within quotes. + change some quoted includes in filters to bracketed form (report by Paul Fox). + more fixes to ncurses configure-script check. + add a configure option for XawPlus (see homepage http://people.freenet.de/kra/XawPlus/) 20021223 (i) > Adam Denton: + implement xml-filter based on html-filter. > Clark Morgan: + fix: if winvile is in insert mode when wvwrap opens a new file, the "remote" editing commands used to open said file were inserted into curbuf. This is a bug in the original implementation. + update doc/filters.doc for 9.3h > Mark Robinson: + modify perform_dobuf() to allow multiple occurrences of directives such as "~force" on a line. > Paul Fox: + add mode parameter to open() call in ffwopen() used by imdying(). > Tom Dickey: + add configure check for wctype functions, to work around defect in glibc's ctype functions: in UTF-8 locale, the latter return useless information on character classes. This works on Solaris. + add configure option --with-screen=ncursesw to allow building the curses driver using the wide-character version of ncurses. + in UTF-8 locale, adjust termcap driver to use UTF-8 to display codes in the 160-255 range, setting vile's locale to non-UTF-8 locale. (yes, this is a short-term fix). + modify logic in set_mode_value() to fix a memory leak of changes to global mode values (see 9.2o, which made those consistently allocated rather than some constants). + modified filters.h and some filters to include estruct.h, thereby using definitions for no-leaks checking in trace.h + add more beginDisplay/endofDisplay macros to work with the assertions in trace.c (basic.c, finderr.c, modes.c, select.c, tags.c). + split-out fltstack.h to simplify state-stacks in filters. + modify yaccfilt.l to use %keywords in yacc.key + modify xml-filt.l to handle CDATA and inline DTD's. Add some other features based on patch from Mark Robinson. + change term.set_title() calls so they are only executed in update(), to make it more efficient, e.g., when [Buffer List] is visible, the internal buffer-switching for that was causing 2 title updates for each character modified in the current buffer. + implement xterm-title mode. + correct a "&" to "&&" in ifdef's generated by mktbls + remove 'termdef' symbol, since it was redundant. + change typeallocplus() to use calloc(). + add configure option --with-curses-dir + altered search-lists for configure script to find ncurses in more unusual places, such as the user's home directory. + change default for --with-locale option to yes. Note that this option is only tested if locale support is found, and it is becoming less common to encounter systems with broken locale support. + update config.guess, config.sub + add ".S" to asmode suffixes. + add ".C" and ".cc" to cppmode suffixes. + add "locale" to the $cfgopts variable if vile is compiled with locale support. 20021105 (h) > Clark Morgan: + change home_dir() function to check for $HOME before $HOMEPATH, etc., on win32. Otherwise home_dir() may return something like c:\/usr/cmorgan, which performs badly. > Danny Zerkel: + add a few Perl 5.6 reserved words, highlight binary values, and version numbers. > Tom Dickey: + modify logic of compute_majormodes_order() to avoid skipping items in the list of majormodes. This fixes the relative ordering of "rc" versus "vile" modes. Because some items were skipped, the "nr" after "sh" "rc" after "vile" rules caused the second one to be ignored (reported by Clark Morgan). + modify pathcat() so the MS-DOS configuration will not attempt to supply an extra slash when concatenating strings such as "c:" and "/usr/cmorgan" (report by Clark Morgan). + correct allocation size of argv in ntwinio.c, which did not allow enough space. + correct handling of escaped backtic in sh-filt.l + add syntax filters and corresponding modes for assembler (GNU and M$), info and texinfo. + add beginDisplay/endofDisplay macros in several places to work with the assertions in trace.c + add assertions to trace.c in doalloc/dofree to check for places where beginDisplay/endofDisplay should be used to prevent the OPT_WORKING code from interrupting malloc/free calls. + improve error-checking for numbers in perl filter. + implement pot-filt.l, to highlight ".po" files. Using sh-filt.l was not satisfactory since the quoting rules were not close enough. + modify configure script to fix existence-style ifdef's for crypt, setbuffer, strerror. 20021027 (g) > Tom Dickey: + improve perl filter by recognizing q[] and q() quote-like operators. + improve rpm filter to avoid exiting text area on embedded "%" names, added several keywords to rpm.key + modify suffix rule for terminfo (timode) to allow nrmode to pick up ncurses' terminfo.tail, and corrected preamble for nrmode, which used the wrong quote character. + add yankmotion mode, to control whether the cursor should be moved as in vi after yanking text (discussion with George Eccles and Paul Fox). + modify ifdef's to allow builtin-filters to be tested with the configure --no-leaks code. + improved perl filter by recognizing a pattern at the beginning of a statement, or after the word "split" (the latter was reported by Duncan Sargeant). + fix a place where 9.3f changes quoted a token which was already a quoted string (report by George Eccles). 20021023 (f) > Clark Morgan: + update list of filters in config.doc > Tom Dickey: + correct a check in builtflt.c that had the effect of making some keyword files only work if the -v option was given in the filtername string (broken in 9.2y). + small fix to argument parsing in builtflt.c, to avoid going past the end of the string (found with valgrind). + documented the filtername majormode value in modes.doc + correct initialization of which.rc, so it can be run more than once. + improve/complete XtArgVal casts using macros Nval() and Sval(). + modify x11.c to make scrolling always use mvupwind() - one place used forwline(), and to fix some cases where horizontal resizing would change the width of the Xaw scrollbar (patch by D J Hawkey Jr). + modify run_func() to quote string-results, to ensure that they are not mistaken for other token types such as directives. This change is needed to make "which.rc" work on win32. + implemented tilde-expansion on win32. Actually it was present, but globbing did not work, and the environment variables did not match the Windows 2000 configuration. + modify debug traces to allow Trace() to make an indented listing, according to the function-nesting level. This is done (from ncurses) by prefixing the format string with T_CALLED or T_RETURN strings. Used this feature to help debug changes for which.rc on win32. Not all functions are traced this way, but all that call swbuffer() are, as well as some others that were useful. + adjust ifdef's so VILE_ERROR_ABORT and VILE_OLE can be defined at the same time. 20021016 (e) > Clark Morgan: + correction to 9.3d change: @ was busted (command mode) and :write-message "@stuff" caused vile to complain when '@' was pressed. + I noticed recently that I could not use vile's file/directory traversal feature (on linux) to find the value of an errno.h macro (e.g., EINVAL). As it turns out, linux puts these definitions in a directory that's referenced via a symbolic link resident within /usr/include (other features such as the X11 includes files are handled similarly). Seems that GNU's find won't traverse symbolic links without specifying an explicit option (it appears SunOS 5.7 exhibits similar behavior and uses the exact same option name). The enclosed patch adds "-follow" as an optional parameter to vile's file/directory traversal repertoire. > Duncan Sargeant: + fix a small bug in the perl filter where pod code starting with "=cut" would not be filtered (it's a valid start and end marker for pod). > Paul Fox: + make filters/makefile.in's LDFLAGS variable the same as in the top-level makefile to fix a case where flex libraries were not found in a nonstandard location. > Tom Dickey: + add b_procname field to BUFFER, use that to save the given procedure name when storing a macro. This fixes a problem when removing procedures whose name is longer than NBUFN-2, which could leave the key binding table pointing to a non-existent buffer, e.g., ^X-, for next-cur-identifier. + documented ~elsewith in doc/modes.doc (report by Adam Denton). + correct handling of "uc" keyword for perl filter in this line: if ($diagType =~ uc $widgetType) It was being treated as a pattern delimiter. + add several short-named relational operators "&geq", ">", "&leq", "<", "&neq", "&sgeq", "&sgt", "&sleq", "&slt", "&sneq" to reduce the need for "¬" (suggested by Adam Denton). + change UFxxx variables to an enum, using this to check for unhandled cases in eval.c + repair missing mktemp() call in imydying(), broken in 9.3d changes (reports by George Eccles and Paul Fox). + add syntax filter for rpm ".spec" files. + add syntax filter for PostScript ".ps" files. + add syntax filter for enscript ".st" files. + make cursor-movement on a yank command match vi's, tested for various left/up motions such as yk, yh, yH, y1G, y0, y-, yb (report by George Eccles). + correct order of initialization in operyank() from 9.3b changes, which could cause a core dump (reported by George Eccles). + modify check for renaming the unnamed-buffer when writing it; do not rename it if the write was to a pipe (report by Paul Fox). + add definition for OWTOOLKIT_WARNING_DISABLED to x11.c, without which the Xol version cannot be compiled under Solaris 8. + add -Wundef flag for gcc warnings, modified ifdef's to make SYS_xxx, CC_xxx, DISP_xxx variables always defined as 0/1, and use #ifdef to check for the HAVE_xxx and similar variables rather than #if. + modify configure check for Athena (Xaw, etc) libraries to include Xpm, on which XFree86 4.x Xaw depends. That allows xvile to be built on cygwin. + modify logic of pop_fake_win() to allow for the possibility that the current buffer is not related to the current window. This can/did happen in tprintf(), for example, but could happen in one of the other calls. In particular, if ~trace was enabled, that resulted in making ":ww" fail to write files which had no current window. + add pattern for hexadecimal character codes in htmlfilt.l + modify configure script to use '%' consistently as sed delimiter, rather than sometimes '@', to avoid problems with AFS. + update config.guess, config.sub 20020902 (d) > Brendan O'Dea: + updates to allow vile to build with perl 5.8.0 (ifdef's checked for 5.6.1, 5.5.3 and 5.4.5). > Clark Morgan: + modify ntconio.c and ntwinio.c to recognize control/@ as a null, to allow inserting null characters. + config.doc: - correct erroneous statement; namely, vile build only creates as many external filters as necessary, not all filters. - restructure doc/config.doc's builtin-filter prose for improved clarity. + vile.hlp: - fix ispell macro so that users avoid a "warn-reread" prompt. - remove ShowManpage macro from vile.hlp; it's long and complex. Interested readers can read the macro directly by browsing manpage.rc . - documented builtin filters. One of the more notable changes here is that I dumped the description of how to optimally build vile on a Unix host when disk space is limited. I don't think that's much of an issue these days and it substantially simplifies the prose. > Tom Dickey: + add which-keywords, as a macro. + add $pathname-separator variable. + implement edit-buffer command, to simplify which-keywords macro. In turn, this required modifying readin() to allow us to treat an empty filename as a non-error condition, and adding the KBD_OPTIONS flags to the DONE_ARGS to propagate this down to kbd_complete(), to make the code which does name-completion of buffer-names allow a partial match. + put nrmode after shmode to allow scripts such as "with-perl-5.8.0". + reorganize decode_prefix() to allow parsing of bindings such as ^X-#-a (report by Christian Neumann ) + reset, if possible, real uid/gid values to match effective uid/gid values, to appease Perl's check for setuid scripts. This fixes a problem where vileperl.rc would stop during initialization because fcron's fcrontab program would run the editor process with the group id's not matching (reported by Clemens Fischer). + change test in fscan(), aka forward-char-scan to an inequality to allow for the case where the line is empty (report by Adam Denton). + correct logic of label2bp(), which did not skip leading blanks on the line before checking for a label. This happened to work until 9.2u indented macros as they are stored (reportd by Adam Denton). + modify built-in spell filter to work with encrypted files. + improve check for flex's version (patch by Danny Zerkel ). + correct check for mkdtemp() in create_save_dir() (reported by D J Hawkey Jr ). + add vile's patches to RPM spec (patch by Mark Milhollan ). + correct parsing of '+' in prc2kcod(), so one can bind that key to a command, e.g., bind-key next-buffer + (patch by Brian T. Schellenberger ). + add x11menu to descrip.mms and vmsbuild.com (patch by Jouk Jansen ). + use XtArgVal casts on data passed by XtVaSetValues() calls. This is needed to make xvile run reliably on an LP64 platform, since Xt uses a long for this value. + add an #error in perl.xs to flag instances where patchlevel.h is included from places other than Perl's directory (report by Clemens Fischer). 20020704 (c) > Tom Dickey: + add calls to file_stat() to make vile's cache obsolete when spawning and external shell process or when handing ^Z (suspend). This fixes a problem where the subprocess may have removed a file. Vile would thereafter be unwilling to write the corresponding buffer to disk (reported by Clark Morgan). + omit double-quote in finderr expression for weblint, to avoid a conflict with some of ncurses' messages. + make vile syntax filter recognize hexadecimal constants. + add a -t option to filters, to pass tabstop value. Use this in makefilt.l to provide better highlighting of problems with leading whitespace. + supply install-rule in makefile.in for gnugpg.rc, search.rc and shifts.rc 20020703 (b) > Tom Dickey: + correct missing limit-check in repaint_window(), which caused winvile to GPF if resizing beyond its initially allocated 256x128 size. + add a dummy log-file majormode, to distinguish some makefiles from logfiles. + add some features of GNU make to makefilt.l and make.key that are useful in conditional evaluation. + add percent-crlf mode, which controls the threshold at which the whole file will be considered DOS-format (CRLF record separators) if the given percentage already ends with CR/LF. + save/restore window modes such as linewrap when rereading a file, or when executing a shell command. + amend change to operyank() to also set the cursor position to the beginning of the yanked region when it is before the current position, e.g., by typing y?pattern or y1G (reported by Clark Morgan). 20020630 (a) > Clark Morgan: + document configure-script options for color syntax highlighting. > Tom Dickey: + correct change made to operyank() to handle y0p command in 9.2za by not moving the cursor when there is no motion associated with the yank, e.g., when typing yy or Y (reported by Clark Morgan). + fix esqlfilt.l to start with C symbol table rather than SQL. + fix esqlfilt.l to allow a blank between "#" and "include". + add check in tcap.c for terminfo kmous capability like xterm, in case we are running in screen, which also supports xterm mouse protocol. + modify sed-filt.c to allow semicolon as an address separator. + modify spell.rc, spellflt.l and select.c to allow spell filter to work as a built-in filter (reported by Clark Morgan). + corrected misleading description of rc-filt.l (reported by Clark Morgan). + rewrote spell.rc to make it work properly if the spell-filter is built-in (reported by Clark Morgan). + remove a spurious call to flt_bfr_append() in sh-filt.l which broke highlighting of quoted symbols such as "${foo+bar}". + correct ifdef's in estruct.h and fileio.c so that DJGPP version builds. Changes for vile 9.3 (released Tue Jun 25 2002) 20020625 (ze) > Clark Morgan: + more trouble shooting tips for syntax coloring to vile.hlp + update README.PC to cover platforms that have been tested. + update README file to cover 9.3 changes. > Gary Jennejohn : + add ".S" to default C suffixes on Unix. The difference between ".s" and ".S" is that the latter may have C-preprocessor statements. > Tom Dickey: + update list of macros in makefile.in and makefile.wnt to include gnugpg.rc, search.rc and shifts.rc + add macro loaderrs.rc to illustrate how to extend the built-in error expressions (request by Neil Milne ). 20020521 (zd) > Tom Dickey: + move save/restore of dotcmdactive and pre_op_dot variables from autocolor() to run_a_hook() so they are restored if any hook calls would modify them. This fixes a case where the "." command did not work when [Buffer List] was visible while a $buffer-hook was used to set xvile's title (report by David Letcher ). + add itb_visible() to trace.c 20020514 (zc) > Tom Dickey: + modify fallback definitions in path.c to work with CSet compiler, which did not define S_IFMT in + modify mktbls.c to provide workaround for OS/2 CSet compiler, which does not accept struct-offsets as switch-statement case values, e.g., as used in implementing the &default builtin function. + add an ifdef'd version of ExitProgram() to main.c which will call abort() rather than exit if the environment variable VILE_ERROR_ABORT is set to a nonempty value. This is useful for debugging. + modify insert.c to rename 'leave' to 'leave_loop', avoiding symbol defined in Visual C++ 4.1 + modify vileinit.rc to disable resolve-links on cygwin 20020511 (zb) > Clark Morgan: + more documentation tweaks. + add example macro underline-currline to vile.hlp, based on submission from Daniel L Ashbrook. > Tom Dickey: + updated buglist + add Help.pm and CaptHook.pm to makefile.wnt + add a check to prevent runaway recursion in a case where a dynamic buffer such as [Variables] was visible when a $buffer-hook is used. When reading from a pipe, the buffer hook would activate and then attempt to switch back to [Output], which was not yet marked active. So it would attempt to re-read the pipe, which then repeated the whole process indefinitely. The check uses a new flag BFISREAD, and macro b_is_reading(). + more fixes for pl-filt.c + add 'grep' to the quote-like operator list, and in doing so make is_QUOTE() simpler. + modify check for blank lines in begin_POD() to allow for DOS-style line endings. + correct computation of number of blanks before a comment + add/use isBlank() macro to treat tabs and spaces more alike, e.g., before embedded comments in a quoted list. + modify test for end-delimiter of a quoted list which specified a curly-brace to allow the square bracket and parenthesis pairs that Perl recognizes. 20020507 (za) > Clark Morgan: + remove pointers to foxharp host. + update copyrights. + remove duplicate use of $(CFLWIN32) from makefile.wnt > J Chris Coppick: + tcl files were being edited in shmod since .*sh was matching 'wish', and we weren't catching files with tclsh, wishx, or tcl preambles, unless the file suffix was '.tcl'. + update Breadcrumbs.pm to version 0.4 > Paul Fox: + add 'directory' to modeline for directory buffers. + change file-mode test in 9.2y to check for FIFO's rather than character-devices. + modify ifile() to avoid marking the current buffer as modified when attempting to insert the contents of a file which fails the "not a file" test. > Tom Dickey: + disable "working..." when writing to a pipe, but not reading from it. In that case, the pipe may be an interactive process, and we do not want to pollute its display (reported by Clark Morgan). + restore 'working()' mode at the end of directory.pm's dir() function, which is required to allow xvile to resume processing mouse double-clicks for hyperlink selection. Reviewed/updated a few other scripts which had the same issue (report by J Chris Coppick). + disable autosave for readonly files. + add check in main loop for failure in repeat-last-cmd, which may have terminated in the middle of a change-command. If a failure is detected, discard the remaining characters in the replay (report by Kevin Buettner). + modify logic of operyank() to set DOT to the beginning of the region, so that y0p will move the cursor to the beginning of the line just like vi. + improve perl filter's handling of quote-like operators. + show filenames opened for read or write in [Trace], to make it simpler to see which scripts are used. + add check in finderr.c to ensure that line numbers past the end of the buffer result in going to the end of the buffer rather than wrapping around to the beginning. + correct configure script CF_HEADER_PATH macro, which did not look in the proper directories under $HOME. + update config.guess, config.sub + add expectk to programs in tclmode preamble. + highlight TPU files like DCL (.com) files. The available keywords are different, but the syntax looks the same. + move the list of majormodes from [Settings] to [Major Modes], to reduce clutter in the former. + indent'd (with updated patch against 2.0) api.c, fences.c, glob.c, input.c, isearch.c itbuff.c, lckfiles.c, msgs.c, npopen.c, spawn.c, statevar.c, tcap.c, window.c, as well as the .c files in filters. 20020228 (z) > Clark Morgan: + makefiles converted to DevStudio V6.0 + visvile modified to pop winvile to foreground on Win2K/XP + fix clipped text in configuration dialog (at various geometries) + if the build log from an unsuccessful build is placed in winvile's error buffer (visvile config option), the editor's CWD is changed to match the build log's parent directory. Without this change, visvile's CWD defaults to \system32 on a Win2K host. + remove compiler warnings from w32reg.c + wheelmouse didn't work on my wife's laptop (uses an el cheapo USB mouse) so I'm submitting an official patch to enable WM_WHEELMOUSE support. Adding this support requires mucking with the makefile a bit. + added a static child window that shows winvile row/col geometry as winvile is resized (Win2K/NT/XP only). I could only test this on a single screen geometry (i.e., laptop's 1024 x 768). Someone should try resizing winvile on a 2K/NT/XP host with these screen settings: 800x600, 1280 x 1024, 1115 x 864 . Let me know if you see text clipping in the child window under these conditions. + following tested on WinME/98 and Win2K: + remove all but one warning from automation-based modules. + add get_MainHwnd() method to automation-based version of winvile. + modify wvwrap to pop winvile to foreground on a Win2K host. + modify wvwrap to restore winvile window if minimized + vile.hlp tweaks (typos, omissions, and minor formatting). > Tom Dickey: + split-out specialized logic for cindent's character list as cindent-chars mode so appropriate pieces can be applied to other modes such as esqlmode and cppmode. + filter scrollbar-tracking events to make winvile's scrollbars work for files longer than 65536 lines. 20020217 (y) > Tom Dickey: + indent'd tags.c + make xvile -rv work by adding reverseVideo resource to its application resources, and interpreting that. + add new selection for showformat, "foreign". Change default of showformat to this, to reduce clutter (discussion with Paul Fox). + do not infer majormodes for directory buffers, e.g., vile-9.2 would be inferred as nrmode (reported by Paul Fox). + remove an empty section of the suffixes pattern for cppmode which made it match files ending with ".". + add a call to show_mark_is_set() in updatelistbuffers() so the [Marks] buffer will be recomputed anytime it is visible and the [Buffer List] is updated. Usually that is when one of the buffers changes size, which means that marks may have moved. + repair logic for cleanup after pipes: mods for directory buffer lost the cleanup after writing a pipe because ffstatus is reset now in ffclose() before it was tested in CleanAfterPipe(). Moved related state & logic into CleanToPipe(), CleanAfterPipe() to make them simpler to understand (reported by Clark Morgan). + use catnap() rather than sleep() in softfork(), since the former is less likely to get spurious SIGALRM's. + correct tprintf() to fix a core-dump when using ^X-, in [Trace], i.e., set DOT.o to zero. Also prevent tprintf() from being called recursively. + add TPRINTF calls to show in [Trace] why a particular majormode was chosen, i.e., whether the suffix or preamble matched, or both. + add command-line -D option which turns on macro tracing (~trace on). + simplify argument processing a little, removing the non-XTOOLKIT code. + modify lremove() to fixup the bp->b_wline value. This fixes a hole exposed by the directory-buffer changes, e.g., vile isomething :e / __ :r / __ (crash) (reported by Paul Fox). + avoid calling both mktemp() and mkdir() in create_save_dir(). Only one flavor should be used (reported by Paul Fox). + modify ffwopen(), ffclose() and ffputc() to avoid using buffered I/O when called from imdying(). Recent versions of glibc make the process lockup when using ElectricFence in this situation. It is not POSIX, anyway, to use buffered I/O or malloc in a signal handler. + modify checks for non-file to allow character devices, e.g., a named pipe for people who use that feature to randomly generate an email signature (reported by Paul Fox). 20020213 (x) > Tom Dickey: + improve describe-key so it displays bindings for named procedures and perl commands. + add fence-patterns to sqlmode, for PL/SQL. + implement extended command-line options for filters, allowing them to specify which options (other than -k, -q, -v) are recognized for their own use. Use this to add -p option to c-filt.c, which tells vile-c-filt to mark '#' (preprocessor) as an error. + correct two bugs in sh-filt.l a) add/use return value from embed_or_append() to decide whether to switch to SUBST state. b) emit token that does not match EOF-marker for here-document. + add cursor-attributes and other keywords from Oracle 7. + modify sql filter to flag "remark" as an error if it is not the first token on a line. + correct highlighting of "remark" keyword in sql filter, which did not allow for "REMARK". 20020203 (w) > Tom Dickey: + indent'd line.c, oneliner.c, opers.c + implemented '< and '> marks, which denote the limits of the selection. + add ".ac" as a suffix for m4-files. + disallow attempts to re-read [p-lines] by making fileread() use the is_internalname() function rather than simply checking the length of the filename. + add commands leading-detab-til and leading-entab-til, binding those to ^X-' ' and ^X-^I. Most of the logic was available internally. + modify ifile() to avoid infinite loop when reading a directory buffer into itself, e.g., :e / :r / This still has a minor problem: the window scrolls up by one line each time the ":r" is performed. + modify sortMyBuff() to avoid corrupting DOT when reconstructing linked list, e.g., if reading a directory buffer into itself. + modify file.c to print the number of lines read from a directory. + modify makename() to check if the result buffer name is empty, setting it to NoName if that happens, e.g., when editing the root directory "/". + modify current_directory() and pathcat() to ensure their result cannot be longer than NFILEN. + replace several strncpy() and strcpy() calls by vl_strncpy(). + modify fileuid_get() to discard file_stat's cache. + modify append_to_path_list() to use file_stat(), to check if a given file or directory exists before adding it to the list. 20020121 (v) > Tom Dickey: + indent'd menu.c, x11.c + add commands for manipulating menus: hide-menus, show-menus, load-menus and remove-menus. + add $menu-file variable. + modify menu-file lookup to look for $VILE_MENU as well as $XVILE_MENU, making the latter derived from $progname, to make it more extensible. + changed install rule for vilemenu to be consistent with other config files, i.e., as vilemenu.rc rather than .vilemenu -- xvile will still search for .vilemenu if vilemenu.rc is not found, however. + split-out X11-specific part of menu support as x11menu.c + add call to set_editor_title() at the end of set_buffer_name(), so that if the filename changes as a result of writing to a file, the window title is updated correspondingly. + implemented bindings for shift/control/alt modifiers for function keys in xvile and winvile by extending Clark Morgan's 9.1c changes. This does not support remapping. + modify prc2engl() so it may return an error_val, making the &bind builtin function report any error in this function. + correct logic in parse_filtername(), which could index out of bounds when processing a manpage buffer. + correct/improve highlighting of delimiters for here-documents, by flagging places where the quoted delimiter includes a newline, and by eliminating a spurious repeat of the ending delimiter. + correct highlighting of variable in perl files where a pattern would be expected, e.g., if ( $c !~ $DST ) + add undo-dos-trim mode, which when true causes vile to make the trimming of ^M's done as part of setting dosmode or set-dos, set-unix commands undoable. Also, trim ^Z character if it is the last line in the buffer (suggested by Clark Morgan). + remove spurious b_set_counted() from rewritten quickreadf(), which had the effect of making bsizes() count crlf conversion twice. + correct resync of CF_CURSES_TERMCAP, needed to make curses.h included in some configurations. 20020112 (u) > Clark Morgan: + add example of --with-cflags to doc/config.doc > Paul Fox: + modify c-filt.c to make it simpler to find unterminated quotes from preprocessor lines. > Tom Dickey: + indent'd basic.c, filec.c, insert.c, region.c + cache stat() results for files to improve performance on systems that do not do this automatically. + modified treatment of attempt to read directory by reusing logic in filec.c which builds a sorted list of the directory's contents, to make a corresponding non-hidden buffer. + add error checking to ensure vile does not open non-files such as /dev/tty. + modified directory.pm to limit the filename by the page width rather than to a hardcoded 14. The directory names are limited to 14 to make the layout work. + check in lremove() to avoid removing the buf_head() line. Otherwise, infinite loops would result in iterating over lines in the buffer. This could happen if the cursor was placed on the next to last line of a buffer, and the command yddp were given (report by Clemens Fischer). + correct an off-by-one that allowed a very long mode value to touch the next column in [Settings] if the next column contained a boolean set to "no". + correct calculation in next_column(), which did not take into account the HIGHBIT effect on cell width. + correct $bflags value, which was only one character rather than a combination. + correct macro next-alt-identifier, which declared $identifier as a local, which had the side-effect of marking the file as modified. + moved array used for file- or directory-completion into BUFFER struct, to make code in filec.c more reusable. + eliminated symbols SIZE_T and ALLOC_T, replacing them by size_t. + eliminated global curtabval. Like curswval, it is not really possible to update it properly everywhere. + change beginDisplay() and endofDisplay() to macros, no need for functions. + indent macros as they are stored, making complex ones easier to read and debug. + add "noshell" to $cfgopts if shell is disabled in the current config. + add --disable-filters option to configure script, to allow building just the editor. + eliminate a duplicated $(LIBS) in $(FILTER_LIBS) variable in makefile + improved CF_TERM_H configure macro, to look for ncurses/term.h for platforms where ncurses is an add-on. + modify configure script to print message showing result of the --disable-extensions and --disable-shell options. + correct guess_recordseparator() to set the number of lines to at least one if the file is not empty. A binary file containing no CR's or LF's would cause a core dump from 9.2s changes. + modify logic of charinit() so that if one sets printing-high but not printing-low, the latter defaults to 160. 20011230 (t) > Tom Dickey: + force screen to repaint if stripping ^M's as part of set-dos command, overlooked in 9.2s. + modify set-highlighting macro, using "~force" to prevent vile from switching to show the macro buffer if the "setl" fails, e.g., if one attempts to set the majormode of [Output]. + add "showformat" mode, to control when the recordseparator is shown in the status line. Choices are local, differs, always or never. + add &stoken function, which searches for a token in a string, e.g., "perl" in $cfgopts by &stoken "perl" "," $cfgopts + add &translate function, e.g., &trans "," " " "a,b" to change commas to spaces + add backslash as a possible quote character in determining type of here-documents for perl filter. + add xvile configuration types to $cfgopts: openlook, motif, athena, xaw, xaw3d and nextaw. + ifdef'd $prompt string if extensions are disabled. + indent'd display.c, version.c + trim trailing blanks from some source files. lispfilt.l did not compile with Solaris lex because it was confused by a trailing blank. + modify configure script to check $CFLAGS values obtained from perl or imake with a test-compile to ensure that we do not try to use options for a different compiler, e.g., gcc versus cc (report by Steven Lembark ). + update several configure macros to use AC_CACHE_CHECK to replace AC_MSG_CHECKING and AC_CACHE_VAL, except those which are not compatible, e.g., CF_MISSING_CHECK. + updates for configure macros CF_CHECK_CACHE and CF_CURSES_CPPFLAGS 20011225 (s) > Tom Dickey: + fix a memory leak in vars_complete(), as well as make it faster by caching the sorted list of temporary variables until one is added or removed. + modify modeline display to show local recordseparator values (cr, lf, crlf) rather than dos mode, since the latter is redundant in that context. + implemented support for reading/writing Macintosh files, i.e., recordseparator=cr. New commands set-rs-cr, set-rs-lf, set-rs-crlf extend the set-unix-mode and set-dos-mode commands to include Mac's. + indent'd fileio.c, mktbls.c, tbuff.c + modify ntconio.c so that default fcolor is 7 (request by Walter Kennedy ). + modify ntconio.c so that "reverse" color scheme works. + add $prompt variable, to allow changing the command-line prompt. + fix an infinite loop in sh-filt.c (reported by Paul Fox). + add a configure check for mkdtemp(). + regenerate configure script, overlooked in 9.2r after resyncing macros in aclocal.m4 20011216 (r) > Paul Fox: + fix a problem where repeated ":!cmd" invocations (with no intervening carriage return) cause the "Press return..." message to be suppressed. (The problem is that mlforce suppresses its output if sgarbf is set. The first shell invocation sets sgarbf, so the prompt after the second shell command never comes out.) > Tom Dickey: + change warning level in makefile.wnt to -W4 + modify ntconio.c to use the original attributes when erasing the last line of the screen when closing the console. This works around a bug in w95/.../win-me that would leave vile's color settings in effect after vile exited (reported by Walter Kennedy ). + modify pl-filt.c to handle pattern immediately after "if" keyword, e.g., if /SHLIB_VERSION_NUMBER *"([^"]+)"/; # " + modify sh-filt.l to handle quotes in substitutions, e.g., ACLOCAL=${ACLOCAL-"${am_missing_run}aclocal"} + update config.guess and config.sub from http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/config/config/ + regenerate configure script with autoconf 2.52, patched with autoconf-2.52-20011201.patch.gz at ftp://invisible-island.net/autoconf/ + check for $ac_top_srcdir in configure.in, to work with autoconf 2.5x, which renamed this variable from $top_srcdir in 2.13. + modify CF_PROG_PERL to work with autoconf 2.5x, which does not permit unbalanced brackets, using a sed expression to obtain the "$]" token. + modify configure.in to avoid using changequote(), which is broken in autoconf 2.5x + updated install.sh from tin. + updated some configure script macros from changes for tin/lynx: CF_HEADER_PATH, CF_LIBRARY_PATH, CF_MKSTEMP, CF_NCURSES_CPPFLAGS, CF_NCURSES_LIBS, CF_PATH_SYNTAX. 20011205 (q) > Clark Morgan: + fix: the new builtin find feature makes it relatively easy to construct arbitarily long pipe commands. Such long commands could overflow a number of vile's internal temp vars. + Some win2k cleanups: - on a win2k host, if $shell is bogus, read pipes don't display an error message. Instead, the editor would just hang. - on a win2k host, the shell process spawned via ":!cmd" was usually not executed in the foreground window. + add a pattern to finderr.c to handle this case: When using visvile under developer studio, the compiler can generate (HTML-based) messages have leading tabs before the filename. + doc/config.doc - numbered macros noted as an anachronism + doc/macros.doc - mention that numbered macros are allocated from fixed pool and describe their (as far as I can tell) single advantage. + vile.hlp: + fix typo where #- binding was attempted in insertmode. + reorganize discussion of macros to mimic (in a very abbreviated form) the key information from doc/macros.doc . > J Chris Coppick: + various fixes to Vileserv.pm: + various code and documentation tweaks + Vileserv now automatically installs a $write-hook (for "vileget -w"), unless you tell it not to (details in the doc). + Vileget used to start xvile if needed. Now it tries 'xvile', then 'vile'. + If you hand Vileget a directory name, it will try to do something useful with it. + handle old Vileserv sockets more gracefully, in theory... + minor fixes to Breadcrumbs.pm + add perl/Help.pm + add perl/CaptHook.pm, which provides useful wrappers for Vile's "hook" variables. > Tom Dickey: + correct a state in sed-filt.c after parsing a substitute command, which caused alternate lines to not be highlighted. + indent'd trace.c + modify trace.c to make Trace() thread-safe on win32. + correct small bug in ntwinio.c which would allow repaint_window() to be called for a scrollbar. This normally will not occur because of the way the event queue is processed, but was apparent in debugging. 20010925 (p) > Clark Morgan: + Removed an ugly wart from win32 vile (dated September 11). Tested on WinME (bash and command.com), Win98 (Thompson Toolkit and command.com), Win2K (cmd.exe). + makefile.wnt and makefile.blc no longer use npopen.c -- all equivalent functionality has been moved into w32pipe.c + w32pipe.c - added completely new approach for temp-files-based pipes (required when using command.com as shell). - force-console code removed (see next bullet) - during testing noticed cases where winvile writes last ditch error messages to stdout. Uses popup-msgs now. + force-console mode is now a no-op for winvile (retained solely to prevent breaking existing config files). + spawn.c: - npflush() no longer called if using native win32 pipes (the original call was always a nop for native pipes). - win32 hosts call npflush() _after_ closing write pipe file descriptor (important for the temp files implementation). + filters.rc no longer worries about the setting of w32pipes. + gnugpg.rc no longer mentions w32pipes. + macros.doc: remove force-console from example config file + delete doc/w32modes.doc + vile.hlp: - w32pipes and force-console updates. - mention macros/gnugpg.rc wrt encryption (updated in vile.1 as well) - documented interaction between cygwin's bash, console vile, and interrupts. - updated $os description to mirror Tom's changes in doc/macros.doc - within the "Color basics" topic, discuss custom winvile colors + explain how to build filters via makefile.wnt (README.PC). + update vile.hlp's install dir and be more specific regarding vile's installation components (doc/config.doc). > J Chris Coppick: + implement perl/Breadcrumbs.pm (request by Clemens Fischer). > Kuntal Daftary: + two new perl extensions for vile: 1. man.pm is a Unix manual pages viewer in vile. 2. dict.pm is a dictionary/thesaurus interface (uses the DICT protocol) Drop both the files in the appropriate path ($HOME/.vile/perl for Unix) and add the following lines in your .vilerc perl "use dict" perl "use man" > Mark Robinson: + modify selection in winvile so that DOT is not moved. + improve paste-by-right-mouse-click operation in winvile by NOT setting the insertion point at the position where the mouse happens to be when executing the right-click, but rather pasting at the current DOT (i.e. right-mouse-click never sets DOT). + change paste in winvile to insert at DOT rather than after. Also, when pasting in insert mode, set DOT to the end of the inserted text. > Tom Dickey: + modify the check in glueBufferToResult() so that parameters of search-commands can have quote-characters escaped, for consistency with the logic that strips them. + extend insert-exec to allow ^A and ^X prefixes to be interpreted in insert mode (based on a patch by Mark Robinson). + corrected binding in dates.rc that demonstrates insert-mode bindings. + add a show-key-names command to show the #-style coding for function- and cursor-keys. + correct number of arguments for &ftime (incorrect number of arguments caused the increased error-checking in 9.2o to break this function). + extend support for alternate bindings by duplicating the default special-key bindings at initialization so they can be customized independently. For example, this lets one define in vileinit.rc a different home/end key binding for command-mode than for the default (prompted by a patch by Mark Robinson). + modify support for alternate bindings to use different buffer names for describe-xxx-bindings commands, i.e., [Command-Bindings], [Insert-Bindings] and [Select-Bindings], to make it simpler to distinguish them. + add a configure check for working mkstemp() function, use this for spell filter to quiet linker warnings (corresponding warnings for file.c are bogus). + modify configure script for VILE_LIBDIR_PATH and VILE_STARTUP_PATH to double backslashes, just in case the user has defined the corresponding environment variables in DOS-pathname syntax (request by Mark Robinson). + modify adjvalset() to allow an empty response for the mode value if running in a macro. + modify push_variable(), which implements "~local", to check if a given symbol requires quoting to avoid interpreting meta characters when restoring its value (reported by Clark Morgan, e.g., for $paragraph). + add C preprocessor parsing to xresmode, for files that use xrdb. + extend xresmode suffix pattern to add .Xdefaults-hostname + correct parsing of single-line "remark" comments in sql filter, which did not work unless some character followed the "rem" or "remark" keyword (report by Chris Green). + split-out include of into w32vile.h, adding some pragmas which stifle warnings emitted by Visual C++ for M$ header files when compiling with -W4 warning level. Changed default warning level in makefile.wnt to -W4. 20010826 (o) > Clark Morgan: + correct return code from set_files_to_edit() when no buffer can be found or created. + updates to vile.hlp: a) refine w32pipes description as well as adding updates for WinME/W2K b) documented unmark-buffer + doc/w32modes.doc now mentions WinME and W2K. + add macros/gnugpg.rc, examples of using GNU gpg to encrypt/decrypt a buffer. + added &qpasswd, which solicits a password string from the keyboard. Each typed character is echoed as '*'. The password is not recallable via vile's usual history mechanism. This feature enhances the security of the gpg macro wrappers (which have been successfully tested on Unix and Windows). The only fly in the ointment is the brief time the passphrase is visible at the top of the buffer that's being encrypted/decrypted. > Shawn Halpenny: + add lisp syntax highlighter (lispfilt.l) > Tom Dickey: + indent'd history.c, main.c, search.c + add search.rc macro (based on discussion with clemens fischer ). + change a few places (search.c, eval.c) which used mlforce() to display "Aborted" messages to use mlwarn(). + several changes to improve error handling in macros (prompted by reports by Clark Morgan): + modify run_func() to ensure that the pointer error_val is returned on an error condition. Previously the corresponding string "ERROR" was returned rather than the special pointer value, preventing run_func() from detecting operations on erroneous data. + return error_val from run_func() if the built-in function parameters were error_val, except for special cases such as the &error function. + add error-checking for divide-by-zero in ÷, and &modulo. + return error_val from run_func() for built-in functions &dquery, &qpasswd, &query if the user presses ESC to abort the input. + check for ABORT return in prompts for missing macro parameters, to cancel execution of the corresponding macro. + modify hst_append() and related logic to store quoted tokens in [History] if the eolchar is whitespace, and if the token contains embedded whitespace or quote characters. The tokens presented for editing command history are dequoted. + modify hst_append() to ensure that if the glue character is a return or newline, then vile will interpret that as a blank to insert between tokens. This case happens when prompting for macro parameters (reported by Clark Morgan). + set umask before calling mkdir, in case user's umask has been mistreated, e.g., by certain mail programs that remove execute-flags from the umask. + minor updates to configure script macros, for ncurses (CF_CURSES_CPPFLAGS, CF_MAKEFLAGS, CF_NCURSES_CPPFLAGS, CF_NCURSES_VERSION, CF_PROG_EXT). + modify logic of popup-msgs to keep it from popping up [Messages] before the end of initialization. This would happen for example if $pagelen were altered, since 9.2m change to set need_update flag rather than call vile_refresh() for mode-settings which affect the screen (report by Clark Morgan). + add 'buffer' to the types of parameters which may be given in a macro template (report by Clark Morgan). + add logic to pl-filt.c to handle case such as the second pattern in if(/pat1/ || /pat2/) + correct implementation of is_PREPRO() in pl-filt.c, which matched "#!" rather than the documented C-style "# line ". + correct two problems in write_PATTERN() in pl-filt.c, noticed in check_po script: a) parse square-bracketed ranges b) correct string address at the end of the loop. + corrected expressions for strings in rexxfilt.l; backslash does not act as an escape character. + corrected special cases for $endtext and $rem in fdl-filt.l + adjust ifdef's for strftime() to use it on win32. + add several null-pointer checks in statevar.c + use &default function to make vile-pager script a little more portable with respect to the start-filename (report by Clark Morgan). + implement &default built-in function, which returns the initial or default value for modes and some state variables. + rewrote global_val_init(), splitting out functions init_mode_value() and init_state_value() to implement &default functions, which return the initial/default value of the corresponding mode or state variable. + reduce casts, fix signed/unsigned mismatch in prc2kcod(). + add missing ifdef around vl_atoul() in case no strtoul() is available (report by Larry Gensch, on Tru64 5.1). + modify ntwinio.c to check if the given argument list matches an existing filename, and open that if so. This allows one to use SendTo to open files with blanks in their names. 20010613 (n) > Tom Dickey: + indent'd modes.c and os2vio.c + implement show-error-expressions command, which shows more complete information about the [Error Expressions] buffer. + modify shmode preamble to accept a line such as #!/bin/sh -- + add a message to stderr in os2vio.c telling how to exit vile. If the OS/2 console version is run via telnet, it does not display anything, and none of the screen-related functions return an error. A message is needed to guide a user to gracefully exit vile w/o rebooting the system. There is a small flicker when starting normally. + add 'mouse' mode for OS/2 (CSet), to disable mouse when not wanted. Modify logic in os2vio.c to sleep briefly in the loop polling the keyboard and mouse, thereby reducing CPU time for that (report by Paul Marwick ). + widened ifdef for CSet error-expression, to make it useful when building CSet applications with the OS/2 EMX version of vile. + include in file.c to make this build on OS/2 with CSet. 20010523 (m) > Mark Robinson : + when popup-menu is inactive, if text is selected, right-click copies to w32clipboard; otherwise right-click pastes from w32clipboard. > Tom Dickey: + replace the vile_refresh() calls in modes.c with need_update flag, since vile_refresh() set sgarbf, which prevented _all_ screen updates including messages. + implement a simple example of macros to insert or display timestamps for the current buffer (macros/dates.rc). + modify prc2kcod() to recognize "M-" (meta) in combination with other prefixes such as "#-", needed to parse KEY_F21 to KEY_F35 with the termcap driver. + change the octal character constants used in KEY_F21 to KEY_F35 to decimal to avoid sign-extension. + implement three functions for working with timestamps: &ftime, &stime, and &date, respectively for file modification time, system time, and formatted date/time. + disable 'working' in writeall() while writing the output. + two fixes for writeall() function: (a) don't use for_each_buffer() macro to iterate, since the item referred to by the loop index moves, making it possible to get an infinite loop, and (b) don't try to write buffers which have not been loaded (the first was reported by Brendan O'Dea; both bugs date to 1996). + add commands "ww!" and "wall!", to respectively write all changed buffers and write all buffers, using the "w!" behavior of ignoring readonly file permissions. + correct an out-of-order buffer flush for the strip_tabs logic in sh-filt.l, which made the end of a here-document incorrectly colored. + add a simple xml majormode. + format lynx output in ShowFormatted to the screen width rather than the default of 80 columns. + improved perl syntax highlighting (pl-filt.c) by relaxing the check for "=cut" to match perl's code rather than its documentation, allowing for "{" "}" grouping around a regular expression, and showing variables with Ident2 class. + add a null-pointer check to slconv(), just in case (report by Mark Robinson). + implement bold/italic/underlined fonts in winvile (this is a first cut, which occasionally has pixel trash when a bold or italic character extends too far out of the normal font's bounding box). + add a null-pointer check in sl_to_bsl(), since that is used, for example, with a parameter from cfg_locate() which may return a null. + indent'd path.c 20010429 (l) > Clark Morgan: + expanded description of "Favorites" in win32 section of vile.hlp + if a multi-char map sequence includes a long timeoutlen-user value, turn on the winvile cursor while waiting for keyboard input (bug reported by Jason.D.Karney@clev.frb.org). + modify ntwinio.c so that custom cursor manipulation code does not show the cursor if the editor does not have focus. This change is required to support the aforementioned bug fix. I've also seen infrequent occasions where winvile still emits stray cursor glyphs. This often occurs when I'm changing focus from some other app to the editor via a mouse click. I hope this latter change eliminates a race condition within the editor. + modify check in HighlightFilter macro to ensure that vile.exe also must have w32pipes set to enable syntax highlighting. This is a necessary condition on W95/W98/WinME. > Tom Dickey + indent'd buffer.c, file.c + reimplement ":args" command to accept a filename expression. If no filename is given, as before it will show the buffer list, but if a filename is given, it will replace the list of visible buffers with those matching the expression. Use ":args!" to discard changes pending to one or more buffers (request by Vicki.Brown@barclaysglobal.com>). + add hst_reset() function, called from main loop to reinitialize data used for gluing portions of a command together for the [History] buffer. This addresses a problem reported by Clark Morgan where the first time a ^WG!ls command was given, vile reported "No match for" ls in the current directory. This change by itself makes vile report no matches all the time, because it was attempting to do filename-completion on the "ls" string. + add a special case in kbd_reply(), setting KBD_REGLUE to ensure that when given the command ^WG!ls does not attempt to do filename-completion on the "ls" string. Though KBD_REGLUE was added in 9.2c, it was not used, since the ^R fix relies on a different part of the change. This change uses KBD_REGLUE. + fix highlighting of include's in c-filt.c, which did not allow a blank in the filename. Modify highlighting of filename to Literal. + add a configure check for strtoul(), which was not available on SunOS 4.x. + updates to configure script macros: CF_CURSES_LIBS (split-out CF_CURSES_CPPFLAGS, add check for SunOS curses), CF_IMAKE_CFLAGS (disable CDPATH during test), CF_NCURSES_CPPFLAGS (improve check for ncurses headers), CF_NCURSES_VERSION, CF_TERMCAP_LIBS, as well as newer config.guess, config.sub scripts. + correct handling of backslash in htmlfilt.l, and highlight numbers in that filter. + fix a trailing comma in an enum in sed-filt.c + quote filename in manpage.rc when it is used in shell commands, in case it contains blanks or other special characters. 20010407 (k) > Clark Morgan: + update note in README.PC about problems with ActivePerl. > Tom Dickey + add a check in zotbuf() to prevent a buffer from being deleted while it is being executed as a macro (report by Paul Fox). + fix a potential overflow of linebuf[] in ntconio.c + fixes for ntwinio.c and ntconio.c to handle default color codes properly. The logic did not mask out unrelated bits from the attribute field, did not apply bold and italic codes in the right order to work with default colors. + make manpage.rc work on win32, etc., assuming cawf is available as a substitute for nroff. + check imakemode before defmode. + modify ntconio.c so control/@ is translated to ^@ on insertions (reported by Clark Morgan). + use SL_TO_BSL() to convert path separators to native form on DOS and similar systems in the return values of builtin functions such as &lookup, needed this to port manpage.rc + improve bas-filt.l's rules for hexadecimal constants, add action highlight for "_" used as a continuation marker, and show #date# constructs as a string. + accept ".cmd" as a suffix for batmode, resolving conflict with OS/2 by making it specific to the system. + modify bat-filt.l to highlight the portion labels past 8 characters. Only the first 8 are significant. + modify bat-filt.l to handle '@' before any command, e.g., @rem. + adjust ifdef's for OPT_FINDPATH to build with configure --disable-extensions. + modify ntwinio.c to recognize control/@ or control/2 as ^@. + add ".exp" to tclmode, for 'expect' scripts. + refine suffixes for rcmode to avoid conflict with names such as .lynxrc 20010322 (j) > Clark Morgan: + added $findpath and $find-cmd state variables. + on win32 and unix hosts, modified capturecmd (aka ^X-!) to support find operations that span directory tree(s). This feature is enabled via a find-cfg mode. + added a section to the help file entitled: Working in a project hierarchy which describes several features that enable quick access to many files spread over a directory hierarchy. Features discussed include: - Directory navigation (the pushd, popd, et. al. commands). - Hierarchical tags - File/Directory traversal (win32/Unix hosts only) + w32ole.cpp compiler warning fix. + put ntwinio/ntconio msg strings in proper format. + eliminate a couple of atoi() calls in random.c > Kevin Buettner: + workaround for a Perl 5.005 bug in perl_prompt(). + several changes to shell.pm: + some documentation updates + bug fixes + a new command called "xterm". which starts a shell in one of vile's buffers just as "start-shell" already does, but also starts an xterm through which one may (also) interact with the shell. The shell output (and echoed input) is displayed in both the xterm and a vile buffer. > Paul Fox: + fix a typo in vile.hlp's example using bind-key for a space (report by Clark Morgan). > Tom Dickey: + change an inequality in read_quoted() which had the effect of changing a null (^@) entered after ^V to a -1, preventing user from inserting a null character (reported by Clark Morgan). + correct a loop condition in put_majormode_after(), which caused a core dump when an "after" qualifier referred to a majormode which was not defined. + add $majormode-hook, which can override the suffix/preamble rules for choosing a majormode for the current buffer. If the associated script sets the majormode, the other rules are not run. + implement new majormode submode "qualifiers", which can be set to "all" to specify that both suffix and preamble must match. This is used to keep rcmode and vilemode from conflicting. + add null-pointer checks to choice_to_code() and choice_to_name(), guarding against unimplemented enum-tables. + add syntax filters for Windows ".def" and ".rc" files. + add Visual Basic majormode (vbmode). + add syntax filter for BASIC, and majormode basicmode. 20010304 (i) > Clark Morgan: + elaborated on "apropos" and "describe-key" in macros.doc > Paul Fox: + extended check-modtimes mode, necessitated by an interaction between the new unique-buffers mode and check-modtimes. The problem is this: my current project lives in a tree that makes copious use of symlinks. This means that the name by which I edit a file may not match the name by which "make" refers to the file when it reports an error. "unique-buffers" normally guarantees that I won't edit the file twice in this case. but if the file gets replaced, for example with ":!co -l file.c"), then the inode will change on disk, but vile's notion of the inode will not change. this causes vile to create a new buffer the next time make reports an error on it (with a different pathname). With this patch, if check-modtimes is on, then when the file is reread, the inode (fileuid) info is updated, and vile is again in-sync with the filesystem. > Tom Dickey: + add/use code FILEC_WRITE2 to use in mlreply_file() to avoid getting prompted about overwriting a file when using ":w! filename". + add definitions so winvile.exe and vile.exe use utime() to set the proper date on backup files. + modify writereg() so that if the user specifies ":w!", and the file is not writable, it will (try to) temporarily chmod the file for writable access. Note that the view-only mode overrides this behavior, unlike vim (request by Igor Schein ). + modify logic of read_argument() to force interactive input of parameters which have not been specified in the command. This allows a user to write a macro which can be bound to a function key and still prompt for parameter values. Unlike the '@' response token, parameters can be something more than an untyped string, e.g., file/directory completion (report by ). + add a "directory" parameter type. + change mlsave to a TBUFF, so popup-msgs will not show messages truncated to NSTRING (143) columns. + add $with-prefix variable which shows the prefix string in effect from a "~with" or "~elsewith" directive. + add $title-format variable which can be used to specify a customized title for xvile or winvile. + make swap-title option apply to any platform that sets window-title. + modify makefile.wnt to check PROGNAME variable, which can be set to override the target name, and the $progname state variable. + add missing braces around a chunk of logic in api_command_cleanup(), reported by antic. + add ".vile" to suffixes for vilemode. 20010224 (h) > Clark Morgan: + fix some compiler warnings highlighted by change in 9.2g to use -W3 warning level in makefile.wnt (mktbls.c, ntwinio.c, w32oo.cpp, wvwrap.cpp). + fix bug introduced in getfile2bp() in 9.2g by compiler-warning cleanup which broke ^X-e command. > Tom Dickey: + modify definition of $progname so it can be redefined at build time, allowing multiple versions of winvile to coexist. + minor tweak to Clark's fix for getfile2bp() to fix the compiler warning too. + improved expressions for $filename-expr to avoid picking up ':' unnecessarily. + add an error expression for 'antic', which uses line and column numbers, and correct column placement to account for tabs. The other expressions using columns were applied to listing files with tabs already converted. 20010217 (g) > Clark Morgan: + rewrote much of the internals of winprint() and associated functions were for better clarity and documentation (for the next person who wanders through this code). Corrected bugs and many FIXME's. + text selection printing is now supported. + if a formfeed is encountered in the text, the current page is ejected. + the "copies" and "collation" print dialog box options are now supported regardless of the associated printer driver's capabilities (or lack thereof). The one exception is that uncollated text selection copies are not permitted unless the printer driver provides "native" multiple copy support. In the event it's not possible to print uncollated text selection copies, a message box is displayed that notes the restriction and then offers a chance to continue with collated copies. + finish win32 copyright updates for 2001. + if winvile's ntgetch() ignores a WM_TIMER message, dispatch the message to a window proc that "cares". + noticed that when incanting ":!ls | less" from within winvile, the spawned console's close button is _not_ disabled if the shell modifies the console title (a la bash). Fixed for win9x hosts. I assume that the fix applies equally to NT and W2K. + added bulletproof "string to [unsigned] long" conversion routines to random.c (vl_atol and vl_atoul). + substantially changed the implementation of vile's insertion cursor interface. Insertion cursor state changes are now handled in update(). + added icursor (insertion cursor) mode for win32 hosts. + added a boolean swap-title mode (win32 only). If set, the editor's title is displayed as " - " instead of the usual " - ". The former conforms with the behavior of many win32 apps and is also much more useful (from a screen real estate point of view) when many apps are resident in the task bar. > Juan Carlos Gil Montoro + modify store_tag() function in tags.c to accept tags with qident class rather than ident, that is, including colons as part of the identifier. > Paul Fox: + add setenv (set-environment-variable) command. > Tom Dickey: + make current_undo_cookie have the same type as LINE.l_undo_cookie to avoid spurious matches. + add checks to finderr.c to ensure that line and column number are actually numbers. + correct logic in finderr.c which did not work properly if pattern contained \( and \) delimiters. + add pattern to finderr.c for Solaris lex. + add patterns to finderr.c for Borland C++ (reported by Manish Bhobe ). + fix various minor things to make vile and winvile compile with Borland C++ 5.5 + fix several unused-assignments reported by Borland C++ 5.5 + make statevar.c more compact using new functions any_rw_BOOL(), any_ro_BOOL(), any_ro_INT() and any_ro_STR(). + change ifdef's for vl_atol() and vl_atoul() to make them independent of __STDC__ value. + indent'd undo.c + reindented ntconio.c, ntwinio.c, random.c undo.c + change most instances of 'unsigned long' to ULONG, etc., for consistency. + workaround in configure script macros to allow testing with autoconf 2.49c, which has broken the changequote() feature. + fix a check in CF_CURSES_LIBS which caused the configure script to assume it had found ncurses when it had not. + update config.guess/config.sub to subversions version, which finally includes OS/2 EMX. + fix sh-filt.l to compile with lex that uses yytext array rather than char* pointer, e.g., SCO OpenServer. 20010122 (f) > Tom Dickey: + several related changes to regexp.c: + add first cut of logic for bounds (but see buglist). + implement POSIX character classes and analogous escapes like \d to make them more vile-like (prompted by discussion with George Eccles). + remove fallback for strcspn(). + indent'd + work around NetBSD 1.5's use of MK symbol in curses.h (reported by Matthias Buelow). + add syntax filter for ECLiPSe, a dialect of Prolog (from Joachim Schimpf ). + modify sh-filt.l to recognize "<<-" marker beginning a here-document. That tells ksh and similar shells to ignore leading tabs, including when matching the final word of the here-document. + fix some of the staircasing problems with curses.c driver by saving and restoring the tty modes explicitly, so we can separate that effect from the screen initialization that curses does (fixes a staircasing in the usage message reported by Mikel Finch ). + add Verlog filter and corresponding majormode vlogmode (request by Balekudru Krishna ). + correct an 'awk' in configure.in that should have been $AWK. 20010106 (e) > Clark Morgan: + workaround for a bug in wvwrap observed on win96/winme. wvwrap uses COM to send this stream of commands to winvile: :cd \n:e \n Playing with this a bit, I found that I could reproduce this problem using these commands (sans wvwrap): [win]vile :cd \\remote_node\share_drive_name :e autoexec.bat ; for example [win]vile could not "open" the specified file and treated it as a new file. The problem persists even if forward slashes are used as an argument to the cd command. I don't know if this problem exists on NT or W2K. The fix is to pass filenames to fopen() in canonical Win32/DOS format (i.e., paths include backslash delimiters). I've heard several developers say that the win32 version of fopen() supports both forward and backward slashes. Well, using VC5.0++ (SP3), I know of at least one case where that assertion is false. In addition, it was also necessary to ripple SL_TO_BSL() changes through various system calls in write_backup_file(), due to the same observed behavior. + modify sh-filt.l to avoid coloring the white space that precedes the ':' command. + added basic win32 printing for winvile via these two new commands: winprint winpage-setup This feature is not currently available for console vile. _Missing_ printing features include: + ability to set printing font (distinct from display font), + header/footer strings (footer currently hardwired as centered page #) + printing of current selection + collation for printer drivers that don't support this feature + N copies for printer drivers that don't support this feature + color and visual attributes Tested on Win98/95 using an HP LJ4Plus and an HP DJ870CSe. + added "Print..." and "Page setup..." selections to winvile system menu. + when win32 common open/save dialog boxes are dismissed during a console vile editing session, attempt to re-establish window focus for the editor. + found a way to disable a spawned console's close button (significant winvile hole closed). Thank you, Mr. Petzold. + clean out a couple of bugs in buglist that were fixed long ago. + in ntwinio_font_frm_str(), report win32 error(s) before making another win32 API call (doh). + in the remarks section of a number of Win32 API calls, I noticed verbiage similar to this: "Resources associated with a menu that is assigned to a window are freed automatically. If the menu is not assigned to a window, an application must free system resources associated with the menu before closing. An application frees menu resources by calling the DestroyMenu function." Since winvile's popup menu is not assigned to a window, I added code to clean it up. If the verbiage above is to be believed, then apparently "modern" Windows apps (i.e., post-Win 3.11) can still leak system resources. Oh my. > Tom Dickey: + make check in filesave() for missing filename consistent with writereg, which checked for internal filenames rather than simply a missing name. + add check in writeall() for attempt to write internal buffer such as [unnamed], and show the buffer name rather than the empty filename in the resulting warning message. + add write-all-buffers command, to attempt to write all buffers whether or not modified (request by Clark Morgan). + modify adjvalueset() to allow users to set strings and patterns to an empty value with 'unset'. Previously, an 'unset' would always prompt for a value, which had the effect of treating an empty response as keeping the current global buffer or window value. Note that 'unsetl' is unaffected. + modify var_LCOLS() to avoid having the sideways value subtracted from $lcols. This is used in ^G (reported by Clark Morgan). + change several entries in dcl.key to shorter abbreviations. + add configure check for existence of /dev/tty, to work around broken pty implementation on QNX: if one su's from root, /dev/tty is usable while the pty (which ttyname() cites) is not. + implement x-modifier parsing for perl expressions. According to the perl documentation, the '#' markers in Jim Crigler's example would be treated as comments if there was a /x modifier. vim does not check for this. + fix an infinite loop in pl-filt.c when parsing this example: $rest =~ /^1\s+ # first action (\S+)\s+ # date (\S+)\s+ # time ((?:\w|\s)+)\b\s+ The code was expecting the first "\s" on the last line to be followed by a "+" sign or other meta character, and dithered between eCODE and ePATTERN cases (reported by Jim Crigler). + correct winvile command-line parsing: single-quotes should be considered part of the parameter. Also, ignore empty parameters, to allow scripts to use double-quoted parameters, though note that SendTo under W2K automatically double-quotes pathnames that require this. + correct filtername compiled into vile-nr-filt, which did not match nrmode. + add popup-menu mode for winvile (patch by Mark Robinson ). + modify value for bindir in filters/makefile to exclude paths past the first in $VILE_LIBDIR_PATH (reported by Chris Green ). + apply $CFLAGS/$CPPFLAGS change to CF_X_TOOLKIT configure macro. + correct allocation size in OpenKeywords(), which was not long enough (patch by Joachim Schimpf ). + fixes to build on Windows 2000 (win2k) with perl 5.6.0, Visual C++ 5.0 (mkprlenv.wnt, filters/makefile.wnt). 20001206 (d) > Kevin Buettner: + change default for $XSHELLFLAGS from "-c" to "-e", which matches the documentation for $xshell-flags. + make updlineattrs() even more efficient and also fixes a problem with attributes not always being displayed correctly across adjacent rows. > Tom Dickey: + revert part of the PutChar() change from 9.2c, since it incorrectly puts the cursor at the first character of a line after a "put" (reported by Paul Fox). + add/use BUFFER.b_inuse value to ensure that we do not recreate a stored procedure that is currently being executed (reported by George Eccles, Clark Morgan). + add dummy parameters to invocation of tparm() to make this build on HPUX and AIX which use the X/Open non-varargs prototype for that function (reported by Jordan Henderson ). 20001115 (c) > Clark Morgan: + minor updates to vile.hlp, macros.doc + added select-all and selection-clear commands. The former command selects, highlights, and yanks all text in the current buffer to the unnamed register. The latter command removes a selection's highlighted attributes. Select-all is only available on hosts where vile provides integrated mouse support. + added "Select All" to winvile's right-mouse-button menu. + added text to properly describe win32 bindings that use VK_DELETE (delete key). This is a bug fix. + winvile's right-mouse-button displays the key bindings of all menu items that are bound to vile commands (previously, only some bindings were displayed). The menu's key binding text is synthesized at runtime. This synthesis code was modified so that if there is no binding, winvile displays nothing, rather than garbage (bug fix). + stub in some commands for win32 printing. + fixes for this problem reported by Richard Hussong : "Winvile sometimes appears to receive and process cursor-motion events when the cursor is not in the window, even when it does not have the focus. The effect is that the Vile window scrolls. I have even seen this happen when the cursor was moved from one half of a split Winvile window to the other - the window that the cursor had just left started scrolling spontaneously. Note that this happens with no mouse buttons pressed." * implement mouse capture a la Petzold's "Programming Windows 95". * make sure timer is allocated before starting autoscroll. * only autoscroll if WM_TIMER timer ID matches that of timer created during autoscroll init. > Kevin Buettner: + improve performance for very long syntax-highlighted lines essentially converts a quadratic algorithm into a linear one. It also fixes the crasher you get when you change from linewrap mode to nolinewrap mode where the first line won't fit on the screen. (report by Clark Morgan). + fix related problem where VASPCOL code was interpreted incorrectly as VASPCOL | VASEL | VAREV, making add_line_attribute() consider this to be a selection (due to VASEL being set) and forcing the attribute to a buffer attribute (which it needs to be for selections.) + add check in update() to make sure that movements in very long wrapped lines get updated properly (reported by Clark Morgan). > Paul Fox: + modify handling of select() in ttgetc() to check for out-of-band conditions, to avoid looping on errors in stdin. > Tom Dickey: + add check in vileperl.rc in case the server is still running, to avoid error message (reported by Bruno Betro , discussion by J Chris Coppick and Clark Morgan). + make corresponding changes for poll() in ttgetc(), as noted by Paul Fox. + fix two quirks of PutChar(), in line.c: + yanking all of vile.hlp with yG, then putting (p) into an empty buffer would put an empty line on the end, but remove the initial empty line (reported by Clark Morgan). + restore DOT to the original location after putting the text. + modify treatment of pushed_back flag in kbd_reply() so it will force the given partial result to be glued to the pushed-back string. This fixes a problem using ^R to read the result of a shell command (reported by George Eccles ). + modify form of includes to be consistent, e.g., quoted includes for vile's source files other than config.h which should always use brackets (reported by Clark Morgan). 20001104 (b) > Clark Morgan: + add command dirs-clear, which clears dirstack and kills dirstack buffer. + add command dirs-add, which adds a directory to dirstack[top -1]; cwd remains unchanged. This command permits initialization of dirstack via a macro and/or startup file. + remove a state variable from ntgetch(), which could conceivably fall out of sync due to calls to winvile_cursor_state() by other vile modules. This appears to fix a bug which would cause winvile's cursor to vanish. Switching to a different window would eventually allow winvile's cursor to reappear (reported by Richard Hussong ). + update README for 9.2 + add caveat in doc/macros.doc regarding inline comments for commands that accept optional parameters. + update vile.1: Add -i, -R, and -k to invocation switches. Add a new encryption section. Note that vile's encryption is not compatible with vim. Remove reference to nonexistent -m switch (which was supposed to encrypt/decrypt mail messages). + document that write-file accepts an optional filename argument + change $crypt variable so attempts to read it return the string "[write only]" rather than the ERROR token. + if last element is popped off dirstack and [DirStack] is the only visible buffer, be sure to update [DirStack]. + add consistent error message delimiters for modules that I regularly modify. + when winvile spawns a dynamic console, the parent process ignores all win32-supported signals until the console exits. This prevents a Ctrl+Break in the console window (for example) from rolling up winvile. Patch is based on code I recently noticed in the vim sources. > Tom Dickey: + add configure check for ispell or spell program, use that in spell filter. + add double-quote character to those not treated as part of a filename in the default for $filename-expr + add/use CharOf() macro to suppress sign-extension of char type on platforms where this is a problem in ctype macros, e.g., Solaris. + add variables $error-expr and $error-match, which show the last error expression and the text it matched. + expand ifdef's for pop_fake_win()/push_fake_win() to include the tprintf() logic, making 9.2 build on VMS. + change several configure macros to use $CPPFLAGS consistently for preprocessor options rather than $CFLAGS. 20001026 (a) > Clark Morgan: + expanded description of 00-10-11 item in buglist (:!ls in winvile) > Tom Dickey: + minor fix to sh-filt.l, adding default action for , which is needed to match $'s. + rename getcchar() to vl_getcchar() to avoid conflict with X/Open curses function. + correct change to imply_buf (9.1x), which resulted in reading each file twice if implybuf was set true. Only files that are being written should be reread. + update config.guess, config.sub to reflect changes at subversions.gnu.org + update some details in doc/dir.doc to reflect renaming, etc (reported by Kevin Luu ). + correct substitution of path to filters source-directory in mk-2nd.awk, which did not take in account that 'configure' might be invoked with an absolute path, so the $top_srcdir value also would be absolute (reported by Kevin Buettner). + correct regular expressions for configure script's option value of --with-builtin-filters, probably broken in 9.1p when changing genmake.mak to 3-column format (reported by Michael Finken). Changes for vile 9.2 (released Tue Oct 17 2000) 20001015 (za) > Clark Morgan: + added pushd, popd, dirs. + added ~trace/$debug documentation (taken from doc/macros.doc) to Debug section of help file. + made paragraph spacing in macros.doc consistent. Fixed an instance where the formatted text exceeded 80 cols with tabstops set at 8. + when winvile is started from a shell, there are times when stdout and stdin (and maybe stderr) have been redirected to handles that can't be accessed by the running (GUI) process. This is known to occur with the CYGWIN shell(s) on a WinNT host. Add code to get the proper stdin/stdout handles, as well as ensure that the dynamically allocated console doesn't use black text on black background. + documentation updates: buglist item for winvile with :!ls > Brendan O'Dea: + fix a couple more places with untying handles for Perl. > Tom Dickey: + document known problems with curses.c driver 20001010 (z) > Clark Morgan: + fix a display glitch in w32_keybrd_reopen(). > Brendan O'Dea: + problem: in Perl 5.6.0, some changes to the tied filehandle mechanism break anything which attempts to re-open STDOUT/STDERR, such as shell.pm as that now attempts to invoke the non-existent method Vile::Buffer::OPEN . Workaround: untie the handles before re-opening. > Tom Dickey: + use new function SamePixel() to treat Pixel values as equivalent if the difference between each of their RGB components is relatively small. Add a check for the default resource value of fcolor0, forcing that to black if xvile's foreground does not look different from white. This makes some of the color palette commands, e.g., :set cs=black work properly. + correct computation of 'diff' variable in tcapattr(), and add a check for coincidence between strings that are used to turn off corresponding video attributes. The first error made vile turn off the wrong attributes under some conditions, and the second would cause it to omit turning back on attributes that it had inadvertently turned off (reported by Clark Morgan). + add imakeflt.l, to highlight Imakefile's. Using c-filt.c was not satisfactory because it did not treat quotes properly on comment lines. + minor fix to makefilt.l to treat "#include" as a comment. + minor fix to vilefilt.l to prevent double-quoted text from spanning multiple lines. 20001005 (y) > Clark Morgan: + update makefile.blc, add w32oo.obj + when pasting to clipboard, use a less ambiguous status message. + change global var that's used to detect when minibuffer is active. Keying on "bminip" doesn't work in all cases. + for winvile, allow clipboard paste via RMB menu into minibuffer. + when pasting into minibuffer, don't report an error if an attempt is made to paste more than one line. Instead, clip the paste to a single line. This behavior mimics the action taken under similar circumstances by nontrivial windows apps (e.g., Outlook and IE). + initialize the winvile "Save As" dialog with the name of the current open file. + modify 'setv' logic to provide the current value of a variable when setting it (request by Pedro Gomes). + added the state variable $favorites, which returns the path to the Windows Favorites directory. On a Win95/98 host, this feature affects console vile. When console vile starts, the "launch cursor" (combined pointer/hour glass cursor) is displayed for ~15 seconds on a 166 MHz Classic Pentium host. I would presume this is because the console app is now linked with OLE32.LIB . During this 15-sec interval, normal vile operations are unaffected. This effect does not occur on NT hosts available for my tests (although they are a tad faster than 166 MHz :-). + added new file w32oo.cpp to vile's distribution. This module comprises a collection of Win32-specific functions that require a C++ (OO) compilation. + winopen, winopen-nocd, winsave, and winsave-nocd now each take an optional directory argument, which specifies the initial directory opened by the Open/Save Win32 common dialogs. If the optional directory is not specified, cwd is used by default. + added a "Favorites" menu selection to winvile's RMB menu, which executes the command "winopen $favorites". + shorten the path in set_directory()'s "Couldn't change" error message if the complete text won't fit in the message line. + on a win32 host, ":cd" is mapped to ":cd ~". This change makes win32 hosts compatble with VMS and Unix. > Tom Dickey: + modify flt_putc() in builtflt.c to avoid incrementing line pointer twice if the filter emits a newline before the actual end of line. That could make the program count a line twice, for instance. + implement name-completion for user variables, e.g., %foo. + rephrase loop in purge_line_attribs() to handle the case where the ending line-pointer is at the end of the buffer. This makes the ^A-NG command (clear-attributes-til) work when the cursor is on the first line (reported by Christian Lindig). + modify sh-filt.l to allow here-document tags such as containing punctuation characters, e.g., "eof/". 20000926 (x) > Clark Morgan: + prevent autocolor from overwriting the message-line when '_' or ^X-_ have been pressed, but the subsequent buffer selection key has not yet been pressed. + for several select cases, when a long path causes message line text to exceed the current window width, that path is shortened on the left until the message text fits (if possible). Those select cases include failure to save a file, reading in a new file, and writing out (or appending to) a file. + document ":w >>filename" in vile.hlp + report errors if user attempts to copy from mini-buffer. The error message only shows up if "pm" is enabled, since there's currently no graceful way for a vile command to unwind execution from the minibuffer context. + allow pasting of one line of text into mini-buffer. + improve makefile.l, don't add syntax attributes to the whitespace embedded within these token sequences: ([][]|\\\n)+(:|=) > Tom Dickey: + correct default attribute in key-filt.c's color_of() function, which made newlines colored as "Error". + modify behavior of imply_alt() so that if the buffer already exists and is not modified, it will be automatically reread. + correct behavior of imply_alt() when the specified file is being appended to. Given ":w >>foo", it was making a buffer named ">>foo". + add uppercase "TRUE" and "FALSE" to fsm_bool_choices[], so assignments to boolean modes works properly within a macro (reported by Clark Morgan). + add %c and %l format types to finderr.c, which use 0-based offsets rather than 1-based offsets (prompted by comments by Christian Lindig that some tools use 0-based offsets). + modify logic for name-completion in kbd_reply() to force the cursor to the end of the input buffer before attempting to complete. Otherwise, partial completions could be written in the middle of the buffer. + modify handling of motion commands in editMiniBuffer() to use NOMINI flag rather than guess which commands with MOTION flag should not be applied (fixes a bug report by Jim Crigler, which noted that 'h' following '^G' was not treated as a cursor motion). + add/use NOMINI flag to indicate commands that cannot be used in minibuffer editing motions. + use DisplayHeight() rather than 1000 for paneMaximum of scrollbars in Motif version of xvile (report/analysis by Larry Gensch). + add 'prefix=$(prefix)' to makefile.in where it recurs to filters directory to accommodate older 'make' programs which do not inherit options (request by Michael Finken). + show unterminated quotes in sh, make and perl filters as "Error". + correct handling of QUOTED (double-quote) state in sh-filt.l, which did not interpret escaped double-quote or identifiers since one pattern was too greedy. Show escaped double-quote as "Action". + correct SSTRING expression in sh-filt.l, which was assuming backslash would quote other characters in a single-quoted string. + change mapping in vileinit.rc for ToggleList and ToggleTabs to omit the "execute-procedure" since that is no longer needed, and makes the :history less useful. 20000914 (w) > Clark Morgan + macros.doc: expand description regarding comment delimiters in macros. + fix vilefilt.l: syntax attributes should not applied to leading white space that precedes a macro keyword + fix vilefilt.l: most cases of trailing comments are rendered in the "Comment" class attribute (new functionality). There is one corner case that's not handled, as described in block comments added to vilefilt.l . > Tom Dickey + modify htmlfilt.l to parse comments line-by-line, making it work properly with Solaris' lex program which does not match newlines in a pattern. Solaris lex also is easily confused by RE's that look like ranges but are not, such as "[^-\n"], and can only apply '+' to a single-character RE (report by Jenny Brown ). + add functions flt_begin(), etc., to filters.c to consolidate logic in filters for attributing multi-line text as a single region. Use this to simplify bat, make, perl, py, tbl, txt, xres filters. + add a check for an empty table in fill_partial() to avoid buffer overrun if caller provides incorrect parameter. + correct a case in editMinibuffer() which did not completely restore the buffer position when an error was found. This led to passing an empty buffer with an associated nonzero position to fill_partial(), which dumped core. + add &dquery function which prompts for input with a given default value (request by George Eccles). + indent'd exec.c + modify logic in kbd_reply() a different manner, by adding a parameter to get_token() which returns the actual eolchar matched, so that for expressions such as "foo=x", we use '=' rather than 'x' for the parameter to set_end_string() (reported by Clark Morgan). + add a check for line length in editMinibuffer(), in case an unexpected message such as the one in kbd_complete() from 9.1v wipes out the current minibuffer. The combination of the two caused a GPF when typing ":set vis=off" (reported by Pedro Gomes . + modify kbd_complete() to only show the 'No match for ...' message if it is run via a macro. Interactive mismatches will just beep, because a message would get in the way. + modified bat-filt.l and tcl-filt.l to build with Solaris lex. The latter requires a larger tablesize (reported by Jim Crigler). 20000905 (v) > Tom Dickey + add check in CF_CURSES_LIBS in case $LIBS is already set to something like "-lcurses -ltermcap". + update config.guess, config.sub to 20000819 patch. + modify tcl-filt.l based on examples by Juan Carlos Gil Montoro : + add namespace syntax to IDENT rule, and apply this to the IDENT1 rule as well. + allow comments to have continuation lines. + flag errors for badly-formatted numbers. + treat {"} and \" specially (not as string literals). + handle unterminated string, i.e., a newline ends a string even if no quote is found. + highlight trailing backslash as "Action". + make a new class, "Braces" to control how curly braces are highlighted, so this is not part of tcl-filt.l, but specified in tcl.key + modify logic in kbd_reply() to set last_eolchar from the given eolchar, e.g., '=', rather than the current contents of execstr, since that may contain an arbitrary character such as the first one of an identifier. That made commands such as setl autowrite=false in a macro not work, since 'f' (false) was used (reported by Clark Morgan). + modify kbd_complete() to show a message when it fails to find a match. + relaxed suffix rule for vilemode to ensure that vile.rc is always interpreted in that mode, even if it does not reside in a directory named "vile" (reported by Clark Morgan). + implement new Perl syntax filter, pl-filt.c (the older one is still available for comparison, but is internally renamed to "pl" rather than "perl"). + use tgoto() to simplify alternative to tparm() when formatting escape sequence for colors in tcap.c + suppress logic in tcap.c that resets colors when the terminal does not support color. Otherwise, reverse video and other non-color attributes do not work (reported by Clark Morgan). 20000828 (u) > Tom Dickey + add error checks in sed-filt.c for unbalanced curly or square brackets. + make regular expresion delimiters easier to read in sedmode by coloring them with Action class. + modify preamble expressions that match a pathname (e.g., "#!/bin/sh") to allow trailing blanks on that line. + correct preamble expression for sedmode, which interfered with shmode. + correct syntax error in filters/filterio.c for stub functions used for vilemode symbols (reported by Pedro Miguel Marrecas Gomes and Jim Crigler ). 20000828 (t) > Tom Dickey + add stubs for dname_to_dirnum(), vl_lookup_func() and engl2fnc() to filters/filterio.c, use those to provide hooks for vilemode when configured for builtin filters to highlight unknown keywords. + modify dname_to_dirnum() to treat any negative return from choice_to_code() as D_UNKNOWN, restoring logic that warns about unknown directives (reported by Clark Morgan). + add sedmode, and corresponding syntax filter. + rename some functions (line_count, filename, cd, help, source) to use "vl_" prefix to avoid shadow-warnings from gcc. + indent'd eval.c + implement function &error, which returns true if its argument was an ERROR token (i.e., internally error_val). + add new TBUFF-oriented functions mlreply2(), kbd_string2() to wrap kbd_reply(). These are needed to support &error, but would be useful in making vile able to handle input data with nulls. + modify TBUFF functions to check if error_val is copied to a TBUFF. In that case, set a flag which makes tb_values() return error_val. + fixes to recover if a 'source' command results in runaway recursion, e.g., if foo.rc contains the line "source foo.rc". In perform_dobuf(), ensure that the line pointer we are using to restore the buffer/window current line is actually in them, and add a reference count in dofile() to avoid removing a buffer which is in use for sourcing. + corrected some places in makefilt.l and mms-filt.l which were writing via yyout, which caused spurious characters to be printed with builtin-filters. 20000820 (s) > Clark Morgan: + make Ian Jamison's change to w32pipe.c the default on all hosts, tested in W95 and NT. > Tom Dickey: + minor fixes to IDENT and VARIABLE definitions in bat-filt.l + modify win32 scripts to eliminate redirecting standard output as part of generating portions of makefiles, since that simply does not work on w95 (reported by Clark Morgan). + modify configure script to avoid using 'find', since OS/2 EMX's 'find' utility is a different program altogether (like grep). + add configure --with-ncurses option, mainly for OS/2 EMX which has an unusable termcap library. + updated config.guess, config.sub from lynx 2.8.4dev.7 (now on my ftp area as autoconf 2.13 patch 200000819, since I resync'd the OS/2 EMX patch as well). + refine fence-elif expression in shmode's "case" group, which allowed a right parenthesis with only spaces before it to match (reported by Clark Morgan). 20000816 (r) > Tom Dickey: + add logic to m4-filt.c to handle argument lists that span multiple lines. + highlight unbalanced quote in m4-filt.c as an error. + modify majormode suffix matching to use the ignorecase mode values for those systems that are normally case-sensitive, making this work for names such as "FOO.BAT" which happen to be uppercase. + suppress autocolor when doingsweep is true, e.g., in multimotion(). + add variable $filter-list to show all of the builtin-filters. + modify win32 scripts to avoid redirecting the output of 'echo', which apparently goes to stderr on w95 (reported by Clark Morgan). + minor fixes for configure script macro CF_CURSES_LIBS, CF_CURSES_TERMCAP, CF_SIZECHANGE, CF_TYPE_OUTCHAR, CF_UPPER, CF_X_ATHENA from lynx, xterm and tin. + newer config.guess, config.sub, from lynx 2.8.4dev.7 + fix starting condition of STRING in tc-filt.l + add pcmode, for printcap. + refine xresmode to require that mixed-case names match only in an app-defaults directory, to avoid matching things such as MD5sums. 20000809 (q) > J. Chris Coppick, with some advice from Brendan O'Dea: + cleanup of Vileserv.pm and vileget (version 1.2) + Vileserv now uses the registry, so 'perl "use Vileserv"' in your .vilerc automagically adds the commands startserv, stopserv, and vileserv-help. + Vileserv tries to be smarter about finding your perl binary. The Vile variable %vileserv-perl-path can be used for customization. + Vileserv tries to be smarter about the socket path that it uses. The env. variable VILESOCK, as well as the Vile variable %vileserv-socket-path can be used. Also, vileget supports an option for overriding the socket path. The default location is still ~/.vilesock. With a little scheming, you can now run and control multiple XVile sessions on one host, or use Vileserv on multiple hosts with a shared home dir. + Vileget now uses the -d option to change XVile's working directory. This is an interface change from version 1.1, where the -c option was used for this. + Vileget now uses the -c and -C options for passing arbitrary Vile commands to a running XVile. See the vileget manual page ('perldoc vileget') for more info on this. Please note the necessary Vile variable %vileserv-accept-commands. > Tom Dickey: + improve PATTERN definition in awk, lex and yacc to color unescaped blanks within a bracketed range. + fix logic in flt_puts(), which did not ensure that regionshape was set, and also remove spurious trailing blanks from attribute string. + initialize static variables in several filters to make them work properly in the builtin-filters configuration. + change indent.pro to line up parentheses. + add example macro AddError to vile.hlp which illustrates how to add a string to [Error Expressions] (request by Christian Lindig ) + modify win32 scripts which generate portions of makefile.wnt to not rely on WinNT's "enhanced" shell for-loop feature, using new utility program genmake. Adjust generated builtflt.h on win32 to allow for building C filters only, if no $(LEX) is specified. Also, modify makefile.wnt to avoid using && in recursion to work around limitations of w95 shell (reports by Clark Morgan). > Ian Jamison: + add workaround for broken DuplicateHandle() function on WIN2K, ifdef'd with DUP_HANDLE_BROKEN_ON_WIN2K. That caused w32_inout_popen() to fail. 20000728 (p) > Tom Dickey: + add a mode for the Standard ML language. There is also a minor tweak to cpp.key (patch by Felix Advantage ). + modify builtflt.c to treat record separators as newlines, consistent with filter logic. + rewrote filters/makefile.wnt to generate lists and rules using scripts reading genmake.mak, to facilitate building internal or external filters. + change 1-or-more blanks in one of the error-finder expresssions to 0-or-more to make this work with weblint. 20000725 (o) > Clark Morgan: + add example macro to vile.hlp from this-file-dir by Richard Hussong but renamed to cdcur like Alex Wetmore's variation as suggested by Paul Fox. + if an NT console's display and buffer geometry are not the same, then vile.exe's cursor defaults to the minimum size. Modify so that the editor's cursor size is inherited from the parent console window. + correct glob test for "~" which can be expanded as user's home directory for VMS and win32. The test allowed expansion of tilde at points other than the beginning of a path component, which can happen on win32. > Tom Dickey: + modify decode_exp() to skip over null pointers in the list of subexpressions in regexp struct which are set when a nested group was parsed, e.g., in the $filename-expr for hgrep on win32. The regular expresion code finds the proper number of \( \) atoms, but the array indices do not match, causing ^X^X to fail (reported by Clark Morgan). + correct missing check for backslash within a character range in regatom(), which caused patterns such as "[^\[\]]" to match any character other than left bracket which was followed by a right bracket. + implement 'highlight' mode, which when disabled prevents the corresponding buffers from being syntax-highlighted (request by Moo Kim ). + add newsrcmode to prevent ".newsrc" file from being treated as a shell script; otherwise every number in the file will be highlighted, which is very slow for long lines (reported by Clark Morgan). 20000710 (n) > Clark Morgan: + enable tilde-expansion for win32 in glob.c + modify spawncli() for win32 to ensure that a console window is created for the ":sh" command when winvile is invoked from a GUI rather than the command-line. + add -console command-line option to win32 console vile to provide workaround for make the mouse work when reading from stdin. + update some win32-specific features in help file. + copying to clipboard (via right mouse button) does not clear selection (mimics expected win32 application behavior). + undo/redo selections (via right mouse button) are context sensitive. > Tom Dickey: + move special case for literal ^A in syntax-highlighted text into flt_putc() so other filters that happen to find a control/A will echo it as two characters, to work with the logic in parse_attribute(). + add reset-majormode command, which tells vile to recompute the appropriate $majormode for the current buffer (suggested by a report by Shawn Halpenny who was constructing a temporary buffer which had no majormode associated -- setting the filename temporarily would allow this command to set the majormode). + revert binding change in editMinibuffer() so that vi-like commands such as B, e, $ will work again in ^G mode (reported by Jim Crigler ). + small fix to allow sccsfilt.l to build with flex 2.4, which did not define YYSTATE (on FreeBSD 2.1.5). 20000627 (m) + small fix for doc/macros.doc (Clark Morgan). + initialize $xshell-flags to empty string since xshell.sh does not accept a "-c" parameter. + modify manpage.rc to unset the filename associated with the buffer so it does not display. This ensures that the ruler is always visible. + add command unset-variable, which resets the given variable to a null or default value. This is useful only for the $-variables, since modes require a value. + modify color support in xvile to allow the pre-8.3s color scheme as a special case: setting bcolor to fcolor makes xvile use the bcolorN resources on syntax-highlighted text rather than the color selected by bcolor (which is actually taken from the fcolorN resource in this case). This uses a new function get_color_gc() to simplify caching of GC's (report by Dave Turner ) + remove some logic from x_fcol() from 8.3s (990914) which mirrored x_bcol(). That broke the behavior of "set fcolor" (noted while investigating Dave Turner's report). + adjust filters/mk-0th.awk to work with SGI's nawk. + fix typo in configure macro CF_CHECK_ERRNO (reported by John Coyne ). + translate soft hyphens to '-' in manfilt.c + treat leading (unary) backslash in perlfilt.l as an operator, not as an escape. + add makefile dependency so "make vile" works when --with-builtin-filters is used. 20000617 (l) + updates to config.guess and config.sub (patch by Kevin Buettner, and resync with version from PCRE 3.2). + update ftp and web-site pointers to reflect demise of ClarkNet (reminder by Clark Morgan). + use new function search_mode_list() to make binary search of the my_mode_list[] array, to make it faster, since strcmp calls when searching this array were the largest component in initializing majormodes. + correct length computation in finderr.c for %F token, which caused heap corruption on win32 (cf: 9.1d). + use $majormode rather than file suffix in manpage.rc to check for HTML files, since the suffix is too easily confused by double-dot suffixes. 20000609 (k) > Tom Dickey: + add command attribute-directly, to invoke internal filter on the current buffer. External files are still used for the keywords, but this can eliminate the subprocess and pipes for filters that are built-in. + add built-in function &filter, to tell if the given majormode has a built-in filter. + show majormode ordering in the subheaders of show-majormodes. + rewrite put_majormode_after() and put_majormode_before(), fixing a potential infinite loop. + modify manpage.rc to use lynx to render html files. This uses the development version of lynx (2.8.4dev.3, with the -stdin and -with_backspaces options). + check timode suffixes before shmode. 20000529 (j) > Tom Dickey: + fixes to make shell commands work properly with curses.c driver: remove unneeded term.kclose from one version of ttunclean + allow whitespace after '<<' that begins here-document in perl filter. + modify suffix qualifiers for shmode and vilemode to make most dot files that end in "rc" in shmode, unless the filename contains the string "vile". + add error-checks for init_pair() calls in curses.c (bug report by Brendan O'Dea). 20000519 (i) > Tom Dickey: + use $cmd-count in AlignToCol to align more than one line at the cursor's column. + modify logic of $cmd-count to increment only for the topmost level of dobuf() nesting. + update ifdef's for building with SMALLER defined. + add key binding for select mode, use that rather than insert mode binding. + correct parameter of bkgdset() in curses.c for Solaris curses. 20000517 (h) > Tom Dickey: + add key binding functions for insert-mode and command-mode, making it simpler to bind a space or tab to a given function without having it confused for a function while in insert mode. New commands: bind-cmdmode-key, bind-insmode-key, describe-cmdmode-bindings, describe-cmdmode-key, describe-insmode-bindings, describe-insmode-key, rebind-cmdmode-key, rebind-insmode-key, unbind-cmdmode-key and unbind-insmode-key. (fixes problems introduced in 9.1, reported by George Eccles and Sean Ahern) + implement a curses/ncurses terminal driver. Use --with-screen=curses or --with-screen=ncurses to configure this. No mouse is supported in this configuration. This version builds only with SVr4 curses or ncurses. + accept -i option as an alias for -I, which has the added benefit of allowing vile to be used as a $SHELL value for script, since that passes a -i option to the "shell". + change logic of dobuf() to implement the repeat-count there, rather than the callers. + add variable $cmd-count, which tracks the number of times a macro is repeated by prefixing it with a repeat-count. 20000501 (g) > Brendan O'Dea: + prefix the "source ~/.vilerc" in vile-pager with "~force" in case a user has no such file. > Tom Dickey: + add macros/shifts.rc, which implements left/right shifting of words in the current line to align with the cursor. + reset DOT.o after calling deltoeol() in lrepltext(). This fixes a problem with setting $line; the reinserted newline would fall after the first character of the following line. + save/restore window traits, setting DOT to the end of [Trace] when writing into it with tprintf(). Otherwise tracing was writing at the current location, and the buffer would scroll as data was written. + two fixes for vile_op(): correct parameter for no_such_function() when processing a macro, and consistently use f_godotplus to handle missing or unknown motion parameters in a macro. + set/clear reading_msg_line in pressreturn() to avoid autocolor repainting the screen just after a shell command. + add color-ls.rc, example using improved manfilt.c to display color ls output in a buffer. + improve decoding of ANSI escape sequences in manfilt.c, including parsing of foreground colors. + add $xshell-flags variable to allow customising $xshell (request by Ian Jamison). + remove $(LIBS) from filters/makefile.in to fix linking problem on Debian. The alternative is to add $(X_LIBS), which seems unneeded for ecrypt.c and manfilt.c, which use only standard C library functions. 20000425 (f) > Brendan O'Dea: + fix unquoted '^' character from 9.1e configure script changes. + mods to build with Perl 5.6.0, which now requires that all perl globals need a PL_ prefix (which affects `errgv', `na' and `sv_undef' in perl.xs/ptypemap). The change is backward compatible to 5.005 and *should* be to 5.004 (untested). > Clark Morgan: + modify joinregion() to refrain from modifying an empty region, i.e., where the start/end lines are the same. > Tom Dickey: + add reset-rgb-palette command for winvile. + add set-rgb-palette command for winvile (adapted from a patch by Ian Jamison ). + install Vileserv.pm without executable permissions (reported and suggested solution by Brendan O'Dea). + change an "ls -1" to "find" in configure script, to work around nonportability to SVr3 (reported by Brendan O'Dea). + add :g! and :v! as synonyms for :v and :g, respectively. + modify bat-filt.l to highlight variables that are set or used in a script. also, highlight quoted strings. + fix double-quotes with continuation lines in esqlfilt.l + corrected wildcard patterns for dos/win32 in vileinit.rc + add '#' to URL patterns in syntax filters. + implement abbreviations for syntax keywords, using '*' as the default delimiter. + add vimmode, for vim syntax files + implement $filename-ic, to use in filters.rc to avoid matching xresmode for systems that have case-independent matching for filenames. + make configure macros that search for header- and library-paths a little more general, e.g., searching under /usr/foo/lib or $HOME/foo, from tin updates (CF_FIND_LIBRARY, CF_HEADER_PATH, CF_LIBRARY_PATH, CF_NCURSES_LIBS). + update config.guess, config.sub + add a 'depend' rule to makefile.in + update ne*.h rules in makefile.blc 20000318 (e) > Tom Dickey: + add configure --with-builtin-filters option. This is only to test the build scripts; the builtin filters are stubs. + add cindent to awkmode. + correct awk-filt.l - it did not echo curly braces. + add '^' at beginning of pattern for hgrep in finderr.c + correct index for W_FILE in finderr.c for %F token, omitted in changes for 9.1d (reported by Clark Morgan). 20000314 (d) + Brendan O'Dea: + modify perl.xs to allow perl operators to be used with a range. Also clears the VIEWOK flag for operators. > Clark Morgan: + winvile: turn off cursor during menu-based cut/delete/paste ops (avoid stray cursor glyphs). + winvile: fix repaint bug that was introduced when "fixing" the occluded notepad update bug in 9.1a. + fix winvile ":sh" command, which used to pop up a separate window, but does not as of 9.1 In 9.1, ":sh" on a win32 host is executed as "$shell {-c|/c} $shell" . As it turns out, cmd.exe's intrepretation of the /c switch is to run the specified command and exit immediately. The fix is to simply launch $shell via CreateProcess(). > Tom Dickey: + modify SetVarValue() to make it handle mode values, which were being ignored. This makes ~local report work properly (reported by Clark Morgan). + add variable $filename-expr, to specify the actual pattern used for %F in [Error Expressions]. On DOS and Win32, this is initialized to a more complex pattern, to accommodate drive letters. + allow invisible buffers such as [Trace] to be the error-buffer. + add macro command "~trace", which sets or reports the value of the $debug variable. + modify treatment of $debug to trace into internal buffer [Trace]. + fix ifdef's in btree.c to disable assert's when not debugging. + improve sqlmode preamble, making it more distinct from batmode. + improve cshmode complex fence patterns for foreach and switch. + revert the change to ffgetline(). For some reason, fread() runs more slowly when vile is rendering a manpage than fgetc(). Change all fgetc() and fputc() calls to getc() and putc(), since as macros they generally will run faster than the functions, as noted by Clark Morgan. + correction to 9.1c's change for shpreamble: it omitted a '?' (0/1) around the options pattern. 20000228 (c) > Clark Morgan: + added cut-to-clipboard (windows Cut) and delete-text-selection (windows Delete) to [win]vile. The former is bound to Shift+Delete, the latter to Alt+Delete. Both commands require a current text selection. + bug fix: winvile geometry only shown when window is resized :-). Prior to bug fix, geometry also shown during a window move. + added a winvile `about' box (available from the System Menu). + winvile's right mouse menu includes these new commands: cmd name bound to txt slctn txt slctn must rqd? be in curbuf? -------- -------- --------- ------------- undo undo-changes-backward redo redo-changes-forward cut cut-to-clipboard X X copy copy-unnamed-reg-to-clipboard X paste paste-from-clipboard delete delete-text-selection X X All but undo and redo are context sensitive. + documented that ~local doesn't save/restore mode vars (this is an assumption on my part). + beefed up example vile.rc with more macros and removed outdated color syntax macro. + optimize ffgetline(), buffering data read from fread() rather than via fgetc(). + add to vile.hlp more information about installing vile, particularly the effect of $VILE_STARTUP_PATH and $VILE_LIBDIR_PATH + fix a redundant screen repaint for this scenario with the termcap configuration: $ vile /etc/termcap :stop $ fg %1 > Tom Dickey: + converted most occurrences of yyout in the filters to calls into filterio.c that do not specify a FILE*. + split-out main program and I/O from filters.c as filterio.c + modify filters.c to avoid concatenating $HOMEDRIVE when $HOME already specifies the device in home_dir() (reported by Richard Hussong ). + further narrow the scope of insert-exec by excluding all whitespace, to avoid interpreting tab and formfeed. + add mode insert-exec to control logic in ins_any_time() which interprets control characters which are bound to GOAL or MOTION commands rather than inserting them without quoting (see 9.0a and 9.0b changes). This restores the default behavior, since some users had control characters bound to a function which was then executed (reported by George Eccles and Christian Lindig). + modify which-source and which-exec to always show the places where vile searches, even if not found (suggested by Clark Morgan). + modify shmode prefix pattern to allow "-" alone as an option, rather than requiring it to be followed by a letter. This is done in Linux's MAKEDEV script. Also, corrected parenthesis in the pattern to make a ":" line recognized as a shell comment. + correct logic for &left and &middle functions, which returned one too many characters after 8.3d changes to use TBUFF's (reported by (William Yuan ) + correct modetbl entry for &sless function, which was returning a string rather than a boolean (this was broken between 8.2 and 8.3). + add a check for the base parameter of mk_to_vcol(), in case it is negative (reported by Clark Morgan). 20000210 (b) > Kevin Buettner: + x11.c (x_preparse_args): Set window manager resize hints. (x_configure_window): Removed code for setting window manager resize hints. Also added code to avoid BadMatch errors when window is too small. > Paul Fox: + implement a new mode, "unique-buffers", which does dev/inode checking to be sure files aren't edited more than once. this differs from "resolve-links" in that a) the "true" filename may never be discovered -- vile will use the first name its given for a given file, b) it detects hard links, and c) it's a lot faster. + shorten the confirmation questions/messages that result from modtime checking. with very long buffernames the current messages extend past the 80 column boundary, making the tail end of the question invisible in some cases. > Clark Morgan: + add a pin-tagstack mode, which prevents the editor from switching windows during a tag/push operation (i.e., all tag ops are pinned to the current window). By default, this mode is not enabled, which ensures backward compatibility with previous editor behavior. + modify ntwinio.c to continuously show the geometry during a resize. + ifdef'd use of auto_set_title to compile x11.c on VMS. + update README.PC's description of vile search-paths. > Tom Dickey: + annotate the verbose form of which-source and which-exec, showing the corresponding variable for each path which is tested, e.g., "$PATH" when checking items in $PATH. + add $exec-path variable + modify filter modules so they export only one variable (filter_def) to simplify building a library for built-in filters. + change ntscroll() to use RedrawWindow() to repaint the update-region after ScrollWindowEx() - works no worse on my home machine, will re-test at work: the problem to fix is incorrectly-shifted text when scrolling via repeat-keying j/k. + change position (^G) command to show "File is empty" if the current buffer is empty, rather than "Line 1 of 0 ..." (reported by Clark Morgan). + correct char_no() function to use record-separator length, so $curchar is evaluated properly for dos files (reported by Clark Morgan, for ^G command). 20000130 (a) > Kevin Buettner: + gdb.pm: New file. Runs gdb in a vile window and tracks changes in editor. (Must be used with shell.pm.) + shell.pm (terminal_emulation): Fixed bug which was preventing ESC [ Pn B from moving down lines. (shell, clean_resume_sub): Improve workaround for perl crasher. (dead): Fetch parameters. + estruct.h (OPT_LINE_ATTRS): Define. (LINE): Added new member l_attrs. (LINE_ATTR_ENTRY): New structure typedef. + edef.h (line_attr_tbl): Hash table for line-based attributes. + proto.h (lattr_shift): New function. + select.c (lattr_shift, free_line_attribs, add_line_attrib, purge_line_attribs, init_line_attr_tbl, find_line_attr_idx): New functions which implement the guts of the new line-based attribution mechanism. (free_attribs): Call free_line_attribs(). (attributeregion): Call add_line_attrib() and purge_line_attribs() as appropriate. Also reindented this function. [I thought I was going to have to make more extensive modifications than I did.] + file.c (quickreadf): Initialize l_attrs. + line.c (lalloc): Likewise. (linsert, ldelete): Call lattr_shift() to adjust l_attrs. (ltextfree, lnewline, ldelnewline): Free (and null) l_attrs. + undo.c (lineundo, repointstuff): Likewise. + api.c (lreplace): Likewise. + display.c (updattrs): Call updlineattrs(). Also split out code into which sets the attributes in vscreen into... (mergeattr): New function. (updlineattrs): New function which decodes attributes associated with the l_attr member of the LINE structure. + makefile.in (gdb.pm): New perl file to install. + select.c (attributeregion, add_line_attrib): Fix bugs preventing hypertext commands from working. + display.c (updlineattrs): Stop processing attributes if end of buffer is reached. > Clark Morgan: + fix the winvile repaint bug that I reported last week. Problem was caused by code in ntscroll() that was clearing 95% of the ClientRect after the scroll operation. I would never have figured this out except by looking at traces generated by the extremely useful TRACE facility (I find it impossible to debug paint problems using a local debugger). + additionally, unhandled/ignored scrollbar messages don't trigger an update(), thus precluding two updates for each scrollbar operation (e.g., one update for SB_LINEUP, followed immediately by another update for SB_ENDSCROLL). + implementation of term.typahead for ntwinio.c + remove apparently unused kbhit and khit functionality. in ntwinio.c (amended by Russ Schnapp). + clarify build instructions for win32+perl configuration in README.PC (from report by Russ Schnapp ). + documented some of the new 9.1 features (which included adding a new Debugging section) + fixed some typos in vile.hlp + expanded/corrected some old features in vile.hlp + integrated "Command files" topic a bit more with "Invocation" topic and streamlined the latter in vile.hlp + used more precise wording in Credits (which triggered a large change). + update buglist to reflect vms_ffexists() changes. + fix bogus comment in w32reg.c + win32 console vile now has "true" autoscroll support (this feature based on Ed Henderson's work). + win32 console vile's mouse-based text selection (via LMB) modified to fairly closely mirror winvile's features, except that a single click does not clear the current text selection (a la notepad). The most significant change is that text selection is not initiated until the mouse has moved at least one character cell in either the X or Y coordinate. This change precludes the editor from discarding the contents of the unnamed register due to a simple mouse click, as opposed to an actual mouse move. + fix: If the user releases the left mouse button (LMB) outside winvile's main window following an autoscroll operation, no text is copied to the unnamed register. This patch doesn't yank to the unnamed register if the user resizes a window via a mode line drag. In addition, this patch fixes another problem: if the mouse cursor is moved to the message line and then LMB is held down, autoscroll starts in the current window _and_ cursor glyphs are dropped in same during the scrolling. + document $error-buffer in macros.doc + update README for 9.1 release. > Tom Dickey + modify which-source, which-exec to be consistent with other commands that use the existence of a repeat count as a flag, not whether it it bigger than one (reported by Clark Morgan). + modify filters, eliminating write_string() function which accommodated pre-9.1 restriction of vile for completing each attribute on one line. Now, filters attribute multi-line regions when appropriate, e.g., multi-line comments in C. + correct a typo in txtmode's suffix qualifier for ChangeLog. Changes for vile 9.1 (released Sat Jan 15 2000) 20000115 (t) + Clark Morgan: + fix a file-descriptor leak in win32 pipes. > Tom Dickey: + small compiler warnings (using 'antic' and SGI's lint) 20000114 (s) > Kevin Buettner: + perl.xs (do_perl_cmd): Partially revert changes from 9.0p regarding the clexec/isnamedcmd/no_msgs flags. We (once again) set isnamedcmd to TRUE in order to cause mlreply_dir and mlreply_file to prompt the user when a perl command is invoked via a key binding. (mlreply_no_opts): Remove. (mlreply): Make mlreply_no_opts and mlreply_shell aliases with slightly different functionality. + perl/capture.pm: + New documentation. + New command, async-capture-command, for displaying the documentation. + Use mlreply_shell in order to provide the appropriate shell completions. [Requested by Paul Fox.] + Remember last command run. [Also requested by Paul Fox.] + Added work-around to prevent [Buffer not found] message from displaying when Vile::Buffer::edit is asked to find an internal buffer. (Does getfile2bp really need to call mlforce() to print this message out?) + perl/shell.pm: + New documentation. + New command, shell-help, for displaying the documentation. + Handle partial (incomplete) terminal control sequences. [Fixes bugs reported by Paul Fox.] + gdb annotation support. (Use --fullname with gdb to make use of this.) + Facilities for supporting upcoming gdb.pm. + Revise mechanism for escaping from shell. (Expect it to be revised even more though.) > Clark Morgan: + modify mailmode to support mutt's temporary file names + modify nttypahead() to exit immediately during an autocolor operation. + add section on 'Color Basics' to vile.hlp, integrated/revised with description of color syntax highlighting (with feedback from Brendan O'Dea and Paul Fox). > Tom Dickey: + modify suffix qualifiers of cshmode and mailmode to avoid matching directory names. + corrected status checks on return from prompt_scheme_name(), which may be ABORT (reported by Paul Fox). 20000112 (r) > Kevin Buettner: + correct two variables in perl.xs which were incorrectly typed as 'int', and passed by reference which is a problem on Tru64 Unix 5.0 (Alpha) where the prototype specified 'unsigned long' (reported by Larry Gensch ) > Clark Morgan: + update credits in vile.hlp (with additions from Paul Fox). + updated w32modes.doc + remove very stale documentation/comment from c-filt.c . + add -q switch to filters.c, which forces the filter to exit as soon as it reads its first line of input. Useful in conjunction with -v and -vv switches. Necessary for Unix vile (but not win32 vile) if you want to do this: ^X-!~/.vile/vile-c-filt -vvq without hanging the editor's keyboard and forcing the user to type ^C to kill the child process. + fix a 250 millisecond dead spot built into the winvile autoscrolling computations, and also throttle back the initial rate of scrolling so that the user has a chance to read the text as it moves up/down the screen. + reword/correct the description of searching for .keywords files in doc/filters.doc > Tom Dickey: + modify ins_anytime(), allowing undoable commands to be executed within an insertion (Clark Morgan stated that the winvile paste-from-clipboard used to work in insertion mode). + correct logic of gotoeosent(), which would skip past the end of the current sentence (which ended at the end of a line), over following blank lines, to the end of the next text line. Now it skips into the beginning of the first line following the sentence. A following call will skip the blank lines to the beginning of the next text line (reported by Clark Morgan). + add README*, CHANGES*, ChangeLog* and COPYING to txtmode suffix qualifier. + modify makefilt.l to flag as an error lines that start a quote but do not end it. Some make programs allow this. + modify suffix qualifiers for imake, mail, make, vile majormodes to ensure they do not match directory names such as /mail/. + modify directive_arg_eval() to expand "~/" expressions for non-UNIX systems, making "so ~/vile.rc" work within a source'd file on WinNT (reported by Clark Morgan). + modify install rule for Vileserv.pm to ensure we update the path of the perl program embedded in that script. + modify vileperl.rc so the terminfo/termcap version does not start the edit-server. + add a null-pointer check for wp in AutoScroll(). + modify previndent() to refrain from copying previous indent over a line beginning with '#' if cindent is disabled (reported by Clark Morgan). + change show-colors command to reflect limited number of colors if $ncolors is set to 2, 8 or 16. + modify set_colors() to allow initializing to white/black if termcap or terminfo has no color specified. This makes the list shown for visual-matches limited to the available colors (reported by Clark Morgan). 20000109 (q) > Ed Henderson : + implement autoscrolling feature for winvile, which makes the buffer scroll in the direction where the mouse leaves the window, automatically extending selection highlighting. + make the scroll speed increase over time, rather than distance above/below the window (suggested by Clark Morgan). > Clark Morgan: + fix build with dbg=1 for winvile (reported by Ed Henderson). + update doc/modes.doc, using ~with to simplify perlmode example, and adding cindent to cmode description. > Brendan O'Dea: + back out change that attempted to make the .pl files use "#!/bin/echo" to work around a warning from the Debian package checker - but it now adds a different warning. > Tom Dickey: + modify configure --with-xpm option to allow builder to specify path of Xpm library in the configure --with-xpm option (adapted from patch by Albert Chin-A-Young ). + modify sh-filt.c to mark ':' lines as Action (should be ':' statements, but we do not parse statements yet). + modify key-filt.c to show color codes in Action color rather than Literal, to make it simpler to distinguish special constants such as m4's LeftQuote. + document show-colors and show-color-schemes in vile.hlp + modify the [Color Palette] buffer created by show-colors to make it clearer that the internal codes used in the syntax filters are a single hexadecimal digit (suggested by Clark Morgan). + comment-out the perlmode "while" group, since perl's ambiguities make it not very useful. Retained the default (if) group, since there are usually more if/elsif/else statements than the others (feedback from Kevin Buettner). + add table entries to tcap.c for terminfo italic mode (sitm/ritm), with terminfo's termcap equivalences (ZH/ZR). If not found, we continue to fallback to underlining. 20000104 (p) > Kevin Buettner: + window.c (push_fake_win, pop_fake_win): Set curbp. + api.c, select.c: Change callers of push_fake_win and pop_fake_win to not set curbp. Actually, it wouldn't hurt, but you'd have to be careful to make sure the setting and restoring is done in the proper order. [Fixes bug reported by Clark Morgan in which only one dirty window would get colored at a time.] + perl.xs: Minor doc fixes. > Clark Morgan: + implement autocolor for win32 console and GUI. + fix some stale doc in doc/macros.doc + fix compiler warnings in ntwinio.c > Brendan O'Dea: + remove the clexec/isnamedcmd/no_msgs tweaking in perl.xs for perl commands. These flags were changed to allow mlreply* to work interactively when perl subs such as hgrep were called from a wrapper macro, although this makes using a registered perl extension non-interactively impossible. > Tom Dickey: + minor correction to perl filter, special cases of backslashing to handle perl5's MM_Win32.pm, which incidentally contains a syntax error right after "UNINSTALL =". + modify DrawMenuBar() to use HWND parameter rather than HMENU, as documented (reported by Rick Sladkey). + correct a couple of missing characters after backslashes in perl and sql modes (reported by Kevin Buettner). + add pattern to finderr.c for SGI 7.3 SGI MIPSpro 7.3 compilers (from Anton Koning ). + minor keyword additions for C and Java. 20000104 (o) > Kevin Buettner: + modify updattrs() and offs2col() to fix an extra highlighted character at the end of the line. + add a check to update() to ensure the current window is visible, fixes a case where autocoloring would pick up a buffer with negativa row value (reported by Clark Morgan). > Brendan O'Dea: + uncomment line in directory.pm which keeps vile's $cwd variable updated, so hypertext links will work better. + remove doc/hilite.doc, since the corresponding script is gone. > Clark Morgan: + miscellaneous updates to vile.hlp > Tom Dickey: + fix a null-pointer reference in make_current() (reported by Clark Morgan). + modify autocolor() to refrain from coloring buffers that are not associated with a majormode, e.g., [Buffer List] (reported by Clark Morgan). + minor optimization of offs2col(), moved expressions out of loop. + set/clear 'reading_msg_line' in mlyesno() and mlquickask() to make them behave more like mlreply(). This prevents autocolor from wiping out the highlighting set by substitutions such as :%s/pat/replacement/gc (reported by Kevin Buettner). 20000102 (n) > Kevin Buettner: + perl/shell.pm: Better terminal emulation; several bugs fixed. + perl.xs (do_perl_cmd): Make sure that curwp is visible on the way out. > Brendan O'Dea: + improve Manual.pm, getting highlighting as perldoc does, using nroff and vile-manfilt. + corrections to 9.0m changes to make directory.pm and dirlist.pm work on win32 (comparison for $os was not against proper types, besides Perl has $^O to identify the operating system) > Tom Dickey: + modify xvile so that if the -title option is given, xvile will not automatically set the window's title. Setting $title explicitly will still work (reported by Eric Krohn). + correct usage-message for xvile's options, i.e., -title is used rather than -wm and -T option is used to specify a tag. (kev) 991231 (m) + doc/macros.doc, macros/vileperl.rc, perl.xs, vile.hlp: Fix hgrep references; hgrep.pl is now hgrep.pm. Also, fixed usage examples. + makefile.in: Added perl modules Glob2re.pm, Vile/Manual.pm, Visit.pm, dirlist.pm. Removed glob2re.pl and visit.pl. + perl/Glob2re.pm, perl/Visit.pm: Renamed and revised from the .pl versions. + perl/glob2re.pl, perl/visit.pl: Removed these files. + perl/Vile/Manual.pm: New file for displaying embedded POD documentation. + perl/dirlist.pm: New file; creates a flat hierarchical directory listing. + perl/hgrep.pm: Moved introductory comments to end of file and rewrote in POD format. Added binding hgrep-help which will display the POD documenation. Fixed problem with backslashes in the buffer name given to the error-buffer command. + perl.xs: + (newVBrv): Revert change in "l" which was supposed to prevent circular structure from being created. + (perl_free_handle): Instead, break circular structure here so handle will get freed properly. [Analysis by Brendan O'Dea.] > Brendan O'Dea: + Vileserv now also works for vile. + registration commands are a bit more efficient when the module is already loaded. + hgrep now sets error-buffer internally. + add perl "use capture". > Tom Dickey: + modify Vile::get() method to accept functions, used to replace use of `pwd` in perl scripts to make them portable to win32 [Brendan O'Dea points out that there is Cwd.pm for this sort of thing]. + modify directory.pm and dirlist.pm to make them work on win32, i.e., by not executing portions that will not work (such as mime types) and using vile's builtin functions to workaround deficiencies in perl. + add check in vileperl.rc to avoid registering scripts that will not work on win32. (tom) 991229 (l) + save/restore selection highlighting in attribute-from-filter, so that autocolor does not clear the current selection. + add OS/2 EMX to list of platforms that must open text files in binary mode, to see trailing carriage-returns on a line in vileinit.rc + modify makefile.wnt to copy the .rc files to $VILE_STARTUP_PATH during build, as the Perl files already were. + update makefile.wnt to install renamed/new Perl scripts + modify tc-filt.l to flag as an error an unescaped newline within a description. + modify c-filt.c to flag as an error a multi-line literal which is missing a backslashed newline. This is allowed by gcc, but the C standard is explicit. + modify c-filt.c to not treat a line beginning with a '#' if the previous line ended with a backslash. This is needed to not flag as an error tokens in a macro which are quoted with '#'. + update vileperl.rc to work with Brendan's renaming/simplification. > Paul Fox: + add cc and reply-to to the list of recognized mail headers, and makes them all caseless. + also added '+' as a valid character in email names, since more and more people are using the user+foo style convention mail sorting. > Kevin Buettner: + buffer.c (killbuffer): When attempting to free more than one buffer by use of a glob expression, don't use recently freed memory after a buffer kill to obtain the next buffer to check. + perl/hgrep.pl: Change "rgrep" to "hgrep". Also, don't allow buffer to be autocolor'd. + perl.xs (PDEBUG): Added/revised code for debugging reference counts. + (newVBrv): Pass NULL for the obj (second) parameter to sv_magic(). This prevents a circular structure from being created which was quite difficult for Perl to free properly. (newVBrv): Removed extraneous calls to SvREFCNT_inc(). [Analysis by Brendan O'Dea.] + (do_perl_cmd, svcurbuf_set): Don't use sv_2mortal() on the new SV passed to newVBrv(). Instead, explicitly call SvREFCNT_dec() on it after svcurbuf assignment. [Analysis by Brendan O'Dea.] + (do_perl_cmd): Instead of doing an explicit SvREFCNT_dec() on svcurbuf, assign undef to this variable. This will still decrement the reference count. I think this is the reason we needed the extra SvREFCNT_inc() statements. We would decrement the reference count here without also removing the reference. As a result, when svcurbuf was assigned to again, the reference count was decremented again on the thing being replaced. + makefile.in: Look for perl .pm files in the perl subdirectory. + hgrep.pl: Set up the error finder. > Brendan O'Dea: + Deletes hilight.pl, manfilt.pl, syntax.pl and tailf.pl. + rename most .pl files to .pm (makefile.in). + add an Exporter-like mechanism to Perl5 interface, although instead of exposing a module's functions to the caller, it exposes them to vile as registered commands. By renaming the extensions as `.pm', and making some minor changes to use Vile::Exporter, an extension becomes visible by simply adding: use extension; to vileinit.pl. There is also provision for only including some commands provided by the extension, and for overriding the keybinding defined by the developer (documented in the attached module). Of course you can still say: require extension; and do the registering yourself if you so choose. (tom) 991226 (k) + disable autocolor in manpage.rc macros, which have txtmode set. + suppress autocolor when 'working...' message is active. + modify filters.c to always initialize predefined classes whenever a symbol table is created. It was done before only for the first symbol table, which meant that some filters using multiple symbol tables were not able to use class names for keyword attributes. + change cpp.key's inclusion of c.key to ".include" to avoid forcing cweb filter, which includes cpp.key, to keep track of C and C++ tables. + split-out cweb.key, install vile-cweb-filt + add syntax filter for embedded SQL (esqlfilt.l) + add syntax filter for REXX (rexxfilt.l) + minor fix to c-filt.l in write_number(): recognize "..." string. + correct some missing .key files in the install rule for makefile.wnt + correct some forward references from 9.0j (ntconio.c, ntwinio.c). (tom) 991224 (j) + add cygwin to list of platforms that must open text files in binary mode, to see trailing carriage-returns on a line in vileinit.rc + restore Kevin's change to main.c, which calls term.close() within tidy_exit() after perl_exit(), to ensure that ".vilesock" is removed. At the same time, call ExitProgram() directly from newprocessgroup() so that xvile does not exit prematurely when invoked w/o forking (analysis by Kevin Buettner). + more fixes for special case numbers in c-filt.c, e.g., ".1", "..1" (err), "0x.p1" (err). + implement special attribute code 'N' to allow users to disable syntax highlighting for a given class. + indent'd random.c + indent'd ntconio.c and ntwinio.c, reordering some chunks to eliminate forward-references. + correct an off-by-one in repaint_window() from 9.0g changes that left debris after an exposure event (ntwinio.c). + add rules to makefile.wnt for compiling all filters, not merely those which are normally installed. + correct a minor formatting error in describe-bindings for command names longer than 31 characters using new function quote_and_pad(). + change TRACE macro usage to put a ';' on the end, since it works better that way with 'indent'. + fix some places where K&R/unproto combination on SunOS could not compile, e.g., aggregate initialization in bind.c, termio.c. > Kevin Buettner: + buffer.c (swbuffer_lfl): Set MK to nullmark. Since we're switching buffers here, we want to make sure that MK doesn't refer to a line in a buffer different than curbp. This fixes the "BUG: hit buf end in getregion" message that would frequently pop up when using the perl facilities. + perl.xs (set_curwp0): New function. Use this instead of set_curwp() in many of the Vile::Window methods to prevent the buffer tracking list from getting updated. [Reported by Paul Fox.] + random.c (autocolor): Save/restore dotcmdactive. This fixes the bug with "." (repeat-last-cmd) in which an autocolor() call would shut off the dot recording. As a result, "." would replay some earlier command than the one you thought you were repeating. (kev) 991222 (i) + makefile.in (capture.pl, winops.pl): New files/targets. + perl.xs (perl_exit): Clear perl_interp variable so that we get out early if we're called twice. This won't presently happen, but we want to be prepared if it does. (stringify_coderef): Fixed situation in which the coderef was getting pushed on @Vile::CRs twice -- and also incrementing the reference count twice which was preventing the code ref from being freed up. (perl_free_deferred): New code to work around perl bug in which parts of the coderef are getting freed too early causing memory corruption. (perl_free_callback): Ditto. Also added a comment regarding a (now removed) call to SvREFCNT_dec() and why it shouldn't be there. Also, don't increment the reference count on a newly created integer (newSViv). It's already incremented when allocated. + proto.h (perl_free_deferred): Declared. (perl_free_callback): Change return type. This is so that the GROW macro may be used to increase the size of the vector of Sv's to deallocate in perl_free_deferred(). + api.c (api_command_cleanup): Call perl_free_deferred() in order to work around perl bug. I didn't ifdef it because we may someday find some other deferred allocations which need to be performed. + main.c (quit): Don't shut down X11's display here. (tidy_exit): Shut it down here instead. Fixes bug reported by Sean Ahern in which .vilesock was not getting removed properly. Thanks also to Brendan O'Dea for additional insight into the problem. + npopen.c (pipe_pid2): New static variable. (npclose): Wait on both pids associated with a filtering operation. This cleans up the zombies (and there were a lot of them) associated with automatic syntax coloring. (softfork): Set pipe_pid2 for callers who are too lazy to remember the pid. [Note: I consider this to be an ugly hack. Please feel free to improve upon it.] + modetbl (loading): New mode. + display.c (modeline_modes): Added code for "loading" mode. + capture.pl: Some improvements: + Error finder now hooked up + [loading] message on modeline when loading a file + New name for the binding: async-capture-command instead of perl-capture-command + New keybinding ^A-!. Think of the ^A as "asynchronous". + Prettier header + Dot reset to top of new buffer contents if appropriate (If you're browsing the buffer, it won't interfere with your browsing.) + Lots of new comments in the code + watch.c (dowatchcallback): Do not run watch callbacks when user is typing on the message line. (This cures a nasty abort that I encountered while using async-capture-command.) > Tom Dickey: + revert Kev's change to main.c - this made xvile not run when it forks on startup. + compiler warnings in x11.c (reported by Michael Finken ) + improve attribute_from_filter() by draining a pipe that has data; if the filter program incorrectly sends more data than vile expects, vile would not be able to close the pipe. + correct check in c-filt.c from 9.0g for nested comments; it flagged adjacent comments. + modify m4-filt.c to test multi-line attributes by writing Literal's as a single token rather than each piece split by lines. + improve attribute-from-filter and attribute-cntl_a-sequences-til to allow lengths beyond the end of the current line (Kevin & I were aware of this - report by Christian Lindig ). + modify c-filt.c to highlight C9X hexadecimal floating constants + add new C9X keywords to c.key: inline, restrict, _Bool, _Complex, _Imaginary, _Pragma, __STDC_VERSION__, __VA_ARGS__, __func__. + correction to c-filt.c's parsing of floating-point constants (missed a toupper). (kev) 991220 (h) + perl/capture.pl: New perl script which implements a perl version of capture-command. This version incrementally updates the window however. + perl/winops.pl: New perl script which implements various window related operations. Good for testing implementation of the Vile::Window API. + perl.xs: Documentation fixes. (package Vile::Window): Documentation and implementation of Vile::Window API. (perl_free_callback): Disable deallocation of the coderef since this causes problems when called from within the subroutine being deallocated. Added a FIXME comment noting the problem. (set_selection, selection_buffer): Fixed croak messages. (dotq): New Vile::Buffer method. + api.c (api_dotinsert): Set changed flag. This fixes a bug where perl would add characters to the buffer, but they wouldn't appear until the user did something else to force a hard update. (api_command_cleanup): Make sure results of unmark operation get propagated back to the editor. + api.h (VileWin): Declare. + buffer.c (swbuffer_lfl): Don't call undispbuff() unless all windows associated with the buffer are gone. + estruct.h (WINDOW): Added w_id as a new field to this structure. + window.c, proto.h (id2win, win2id, index2win, win2index): New functions. + window.c (w_id_next): New static global. (FAKE_WINDOW_ID): New define. (splitw, winit, push_fake_win): Set/initialize w_id field in WINDOW structure. + ptypemap (T_VileWin): New type in typemap. + x11.c (x_autocolor_timeout): Send a null message to ourselves to prevent stalling in the event loop. This fixes the bug in which a keypress while the filter was running would cause the keypress to be noticed at the next X event. (paste_from_primary): New function. + cmdtbl (paste-from-primary): New command. (Requested by Sean Ahern.) (kev) 991219 (g) + cmdtbl, buffer.c: Added binding / support for ^X-_ aka "historical-buffer-to-current-window". [Requested by Mike J. Bell.] + random.c (autocolor): Save/restore pre_op_dot. Fixes bug reported by Paul Fox: "if autocoloring kicks in between an operation and the motion that completes it (e.g. 'd' and 'w'), the operation acts on the wrong selected region -- i think it acts on 'dot to top of buffer'." + improve set-window (actually swbuffer()) by initializing a window's traits, e.g., position, from the buffer's traits. + buffer.c (swbuffer_lfl): Make sure window count gets decremented for the window being replaced even if buffer we're replacing it with is already on-screen (fixes a core dump in set-window, reported by Clark Morgan). + fileio.c (ffclose): Use mlwrite() instead of mlforce(). + edef.h (in_autocolor): New variable. + display.c (mlerase, mlwrite): Use in_autocolor to determine whether or not to position the cursor on the message line. + random.c (autocolor): Set autocolor as appropriate. + macros/vileinit.rc, vile.hlp: Revise so that autocolor timeouts are in milliseconds. + termio.c (ttgetc): Likewise. + x11.c (x_start_autocolor_timer): Ditto. > Clark Morgan: + ifdef'd autocolor mode and logic with OPT_COLOR to accommodate VMS, which does not support syntax highlighting anyway. + fix vmsbuild.com for the case of building xvile.exe with VAXC, adding menu.obj to vms_link.opt _before_ the CRT. That ensures that the linker looks for menu.obj in the cwd, not in sys$library. > Tom Dickey: + improve logic of repaint_window(), so it paints long chunks rather than single characters. This makes the screen paint properly when switching to an Italic font. + refine logic for gui_resize_in_progress in ntwinio.c so that it only affects the case where a font-sizechange is in progress. This restores the behavior of 8.3d, which allows a user to specify $pagewid and $pagelen in vile.rc to control the initial screensize (reported by George Young ). + add $brightness variable to winvile, allowing users to customize the overall intensity of colors, to accommodate different monitors (prompted by Chris Green ). + modify backspacelimit mode to allow backspacing through a newline when nobackspacelimit is specified (request by Todd Moody ). + change Kevin's use of in_autocolor which suppresses message-output to make that part of ~hidden behavior. + remove elif/else clauses from m4mode "do" group, since they interfere too much with balancing square brackets intermixed with parentheses. + implement poll()-based watchfd/autocolor support. + implement BeOS-specific watchfd/autocolor support, by rearranging logic used for catnap(): beos_has_input(), beos_can_output() and beos_napms(). + make repeat-count apply to @register commands. This repeats the entire command, and is not necessarily compatible with vi: some implementations do not recognize a repeat count, and other, e.g., SVr3 repeat the last command in the register contents. elvis does the former, nvi does the latter, and vim repeats the entire string. It's fortunate that the simpler implementation is more useful (requested by Ed Henderson). + modify vilefilt.l to recognize .vilemenu syntax. + modify menu.c to allow double-quote as comment-marker. + remove full-line behavior from goto-char command. + correct behavior of "Clear Highlighting (below)" menu entry in sample vilemenu.rc which did not clear the final line of a buffer (sorry - I misplaced the original report). + add some pointer checks to swbuffer(), getcol() and gocol(), so piping to vile works properly when trying to initialize window's traits. + add a note about set-window to vile.hlp + improve coloring of literals in vilefilt.l by interpreting strings beginning with ^A, ^X or escape. + modify c-filt.c show nested-comment as error. + fix c-filt.c to highlight properly a number immediately after a leading "#", to accommodate non-standard usage by GCC's preprocessor. (kev) 991214 (f) + buffer.c (chg_buff, unchg_buff): Set the "recently changed" flag for syntax coloring purposes. + edef.h (autocolorhook): Declare. + macros/vileinit.rc: Added example code for automatic syntax coloring. + main.c (global_val_init): Initialize VAL_AUTOCOLOR. + modetbl (AUTOCOLOR): New mode. (autocolor-hook): New hook. + perl/shell.pl: Revised to use IO:Pty instead of Comm.pl (which seems to be no longer maintained). + proto.h (autocolor, ttwatchfd, ttunwatchfd): New declarations. + random.c (run_a_hook): Return status from running the command instead of unconditionally returning TRUE. (autocolor): New function. + statevar.c (var_AUTOCOLORHOOK): New function. + tcap.c (term): Use ttwatchfd and ttunwatchfd instead of the nullterm versions. + termio.c (USE_SELECT): New alternative to USE_FCNTL and USE_FIONREAD. Preferred over both of these methods for determining if there are new characters to be read from the keyboard. (watchfd_read_fds, watchfd_write_fds, watchfd_maxfd): New static variables. (ttwatchfd, ttunwatchfd): New functions. (ttgetc): Added new USE_SELECT code for reading a character. This new code also watches for activity on file descriptors registered with watchfd() and will invoke the automatic syntax coloring function, autocolor, as appropriate. + vile.hlp: Documented new autocolor mechanism. + x11.c (x_start_autocolor_timer, x_autocolor_timeout, x_stop_autocolor_timer): New functions. (x_getc): Call x_start_autocolor_timer and x_stop_autocolor_timer as appropriate. (x_key_press): Call x_start_autocolor_timer to reset the timer on each keystroke. > patches by Tom Dickey: + color continued comment-lines in makemode. + correct c-filt.c parsing of numbers such as 0.0, from 9.0e rewrite. + correct display of termcap numbers, which were highlighted as errors after allowing '#' in capability-names. (tom) 991212 (e) + improve c-filt.c's parsing of numbers to flag spuriously-repeated suffixes as errors (request by Kevin Buettner). + indent'd word.c, add a special case to avoid putting two spaces after "i.e." or "e.g." to accommodate some European usage. + add several perl5 keywords to perl.key (listed by ) + remove "unsetl view" logic from :f command, since it is an obscure and not desirable side-effect. Appeared in filename() and commdlg_save_file() (reported by Clark Morgan). + modify HighlightFilter to check if user is trying to run this with winvile w/o w32pipes set. That combination does not work, so don't try it. + update CF_ANSI_CC_CHECK to match that in tin, which now uses -Ae option for HPUX (patch by Urs Jansen). + modify config.sub to recognize ia64 machine (patch by Kevin Buettner). + allow '_' and '.' in terminfo aliases. + correct a file-descriptor leak in npflush for win32, which showed up as undeleted temp-files. This would happen when opening read/write pipes, e.g., for syntax filtering, when now32pipe was specified. + remove obsolete/unused Win31 ifdef's (reported by Clark Morgan). > patch by Clark Morgan: + changed the VMS build document (README.VMS) to specify exclusive use of vmsbuild.com rather than MMS directly. + changed vmsbuild.com to accept a compiler specification on the command line, which is much more convenient than editing the build script by hand. compiler defaults to VAXC on Vax hosts and DECC on Alpha hosts. (tom) 991209 (d) + implement "before" and "after" qualifiers for majormodes. + add C++ majormode cppmode, + change prompt for majormode in procedure parameter lists to allow mixed case. + add ".table" and ".default" to filter interpreter. + add a syntax filter for vile's .key files, use that to fix some errors in make.key, tcl.key . + add a syntax filter for Lynx config file. + add '_' to URL patterns, used in txt and mail filters. + corrected DSTRINGS definition in awk syntax filter, which did not handle quoted backslash. + allow '+' in alias in termcap syntax filter. + add variable $error-buffer, use this in manpage.rc to avoid losing the setting when creating a manpage buffer. + add error-patterns for ncurses tic and atac. + implement ".merge" in filter keyword files, needed for C and HTML filters. + improve C syntax filter: + marking misspelled preprocessor keywords as an error. + marking numbers run-on to names as an error, + marking unexpected escapes as an error, + minor fixes of ifdef's for glob_match_leaf(), for building with configure --disable-extensions. > patches by Clark Morgan: + add the Win32 common dialog "save as" feature to both console vile and winvile. + update vile.hlp was updated to reflect recent questions about macros.doc + split-out the win32 command-specific code (e.g., winopen, winsave, etc) from w32misc.c to a new file called w32cmd.c + add a note about obscure "unsetl view" side-effect of the :f command + add special case to expand_wild_args() for VMS to handle +/string syntax. + update README.VMS for building xvile + fix for VAXC to include icons/vile.xbm (tom) 991202 (c) + modified vmsbuild.com and descrip.mms (untested) to build the Motif version with menus, the X toolkit version without (based on discussion with Clark Morgan and Jonathan Ridler). + fix ttclean() function for xvile on VMS (Clark Morgan, from problem report by Jonathan Ridler ). + add .Xdefaults to xresmode. + add backslashes as needed to digraph.rc, to work with the new single quote interpretation (reported by Paul Fox). + correct a place where expression evaluation result was overwritten with the nested result in a complex expression from 8.3d (reported by George Eccles). + highlight whitespace in makefiles between backspace and newline as an error. + define "Error" class for syntax filters. + correct make filter's handling of escaped newline: '.' does not match newline. (tom) 991127 (b) + add "case" and "do" groups to m4mode. + add ".ms" and ".me" suffixes for nrmode. + add ``quote'' quoting to txt filter. + refine treatment of double-quote in txt filter so it can be quoted by single-quote or parenthesis. + allow "~" in URL patterns for txt and mail filters, omitted in 9.0a. + correct some missing backslashes before vertical bar and parentheses in filters.rc, made apparent by the change to use single-quoted strings. + restore handling of special control characters such as ^D, ^T in insert mode which happened to be GOAL or MOTION commands (reported by Clark Morgan). (tom) 991124 (a) + add single-quoted strings, which eliminate the need for escaping backslash (suggested by Paul Fox). + modify logic in ins_any_time() to interpret control characters which are bound to GOAL or MOTION commands rather than inserting them without quoting. This allows ^E and ^Y as commands within an insert (request by Quang Ngo ). + change several commands to use GOAL flag, which tells vile that they may move to a new line, but try to keep the column constant. Doing this has the side-effect that they are usable in quoted-motion: grow-window, move-next-window-down, move-next-window-up, position-window (z), redraw-display, scroll-next-window-down, scroll-next-window-up and shrink-window, as well as api_motion(). + modify quoted-motion so that commands with the GOAL flag are allowed, since those do not change the buffer contents. + change handling of status return from readpattern() so that an abort is passed up to the caller. In execute-named-procedure, check for abort, and restore DOT to the value before evaluating addresses (reported by Clark Morgan). + correct bug in wrapmargin/fillcol logic which did not split a line when a newline was inserted into a string containing no blanks after the fillcol position. Instead, an empty line was inserted (reported by Clark Morgan). + correct missing allocation of default help-string for user-defined procedures, which could cause core dump if a procedure were redefined, e.g., by source'ing .vilerc (reported by Paul Fox). + add tags syntax filter and majormode tagsmode. + add X resource syntax filter and majormode xresmode. + improve URL pattern in mail and txt filters, to allow it to match ftp and other URL types, as well as limited the pattern to avoid picking up things like trailing '>' characters. + correct some syntax filters' expressions for REAL, which were expecting two digits after the decimal point, rather one. > patches by Clark Morgan: + enable "kill-buffer " on VMS. + fix to allow accessing multiple versions of DECNET-based files. That is, this now works: $ vile node::dir:log.txt;* <- open all copies of log.txt + eliminate stray cursor glyphs in the message buffer (most often happens when a Win32 dialog is dismissed at the "same time" that a winvile command writes status text).
