- YouCompleteMe is unnecessary since Nvim LSP works well.
- vim-addon-local-vimrc is not needed since we added `.editorconfig`.
- Inline flake8 arguments. Eventually we will remove all python code,
don't need a top-level `.flake8` file meanwhile.
Problem:
- The layout of the doxygen HTML "dev docs" has been broken for 1+ years.
- There is no evidence that anyone uses the doxygen HTML.
- In the meantime since we introduced the doxygen HTML pages, the Nvim
C docstrings have been surfaced in other ways:
- Nvim LSP client
- Generated :help docs like ":help api" and ":help ui".
Solution:
- Remove `contrib/doxygen/` from neovim repo.
- Note: keep `src/Doxyfile`, it is used by `scripts/gen_vimdoc.py`. ☠️
- Remove `doc/dev/` from website. https://github.com/neovim/neovim.github.io/pull/291
- Remove doxygen job from the neovim/doc repo. https://github.com/neovim/doc/pull/28
- Future/ongoing: ":help dev" and other :help docs will continue to be
improved as the "source of truth" for developer-related docs.

The Sumneko Lua language server has matured quite a bit and many
Neovim developers use it while working on Neovim. Having a default
configuration for Neovim development is a nice convenience (and
dovetails well with the auto-generated compile_command.json for C
development).
The file is shipped under `contrib` and users can make use of it by
symlinking to `.luarc.json` in the project root.
* refactor: disable formatting for attribute in macro
* fixup: disable/enable uncrustify with uncrustify:indent-off/on
* fixup: stop indenting contents inside braces in case
* fixup: remove case brace if no variable declaration
Updated inputs so no need to add tree-sitter ourselves anymore.
Added checks:
- for pylint/shlint
- distinguish the devolpment shell from the ASAN build (closure for ASAN
version is smaller). While in the devShell, functionaltests would fail
because bin/nvim could not load
outputs/out/share/nvim/syntax/syntax.vim
So we touch the file.
`flakes` is a feature available in the unstable version of the `nix` package manager
to ease the distribution of nix expressions see https://www.tweag.io/blog/2020-05-25-flakes/ .
Nix excels at software reproducibility and is available/can be
installed on different distributions (ubuntu/void/debian etc) as well
as macOS.
This flakes contains 3 packages that can be installed via for instance
`nix run 'github:neovim/neovim?dir=contrib#nvim-debug'`
or
`nix run 'github:neovim/neovim?dir=contrib'` for the default version.
you can register an alias
`nix registry add neovim 'github:neovim/neovim?dir=contrib'`
and the previous commands become:
`nix run neovim`
Using it takes 30+ additional seconds for me with a ccache-enabled build
(43s vs. 12s).
While it certainly makes sense to use DEBUG during development,
bisecting etc, it should be made clearer what causes this.
