Problem:
Linematch used to use strchr to navigate a string, however strchr does
not supoprt embedded NULs.
Solution:
Use `mmfile_t` instead of `char *` in linematch and introduce `strnchr()`.
Also remove heap allocations from `matching_char_iwhite()`
Fixes: #30505

On Windows, '{' is currently not treated as a wildcard char, so another
wildcard char is needed for the pattern to be treated as a wildcard.
It may be worth trying to make '{' always a wildcard char in the future,
but that'll be a bit harder as it'll be necessary to make sure '{' is
escaped at various places.

fix(comment): fall back to using trimmed comment markers (#28938)
Problem: Currently comment detection, addition, and removal are done
by matching 'commentstring' exactly. This has the downside when users
want to add comment markers with space (like with `-- %s`
commentstring) but also be able to uncomment lines that do not contain
space (like `--aaa`).
Solution: Use the following approach:
- Line is commented if it matches 'commentstring' with trimmed parts.
- Adding comment is 100% relying on 'commentstring' parts (as is now).
- Removing comment is first trying exact 'commentstring' parts with
fallback on trying its trimmed parts.

Problem:
- The test for vim.deprecate() has a "mock" which is outdated because
vim.deprecate() no longer uses that.
- The tests get confused after a version bump.
Solution:
Make the tests adapt to the current version.
Problem:
The nvim_win_xx_ns function family introduced in ba0370b1d7
needs more bake-time. Currently it's narrowly defined for windows, but
other scopes ("buffer") and features are likely in the future.
Solution:
- Rename the API with double-underscore to mark it as EXPERIMENTAL.
TODO/FUTURE:
- Rename and change the signature to support more than just "window"
scope, and for other flexibility.
- Open question: we could choose either:
- "store scopes on namespaces", or
- "store namespaces on scopes (w:/b:/…)"
reverts e0d92b9cc2#28502
Problem:
`vim.ui.open()` has a `pcall()` like signature, under the assumption
that this is the Lua idiom for returning result-or-error. However, the
`result|nil, errmsg|nil` pattern:
- has precedent in:
- `io.open`
- `vim.uv` (`:help luv-error-handling`)
- has these advantages:
- Can be used with `assert()`:
```
local result, err = assert(foobar())
```
- Allows LuaLS to infer the type of `result`:
```
local result, err = foobar()
if err then
...
elseif result then
...
end
```
Solution:
- Revert to the `result|nil, errmsg|nil` pattern.
- Document the pattern in our guidelines.
Problem: Calling :redraw from vim.ui_attach() callback results in
recursive cmdline/message events.
Solution: Avoid recursiveness where possible and replace global "call_buf"
with separate, temporary buffers for each event so that when a Lua
callback for one event fires another event, that does not result
in invalid memory access.
Follow-up to #28490
Problem:
The new behaviour of goto_next/prev() of navigating to the next highest
severity doesn't work well when diagnostic providers have different
interpretations of severities. E.g. the user may be blocked from
navigating to a useful LSP warning, due to some linter error.
Solution:
The behaviour of next highest severity is now a hidden option
`_highest = true`. We can revisit how to integrate this behaviour
during the 0.11 cycle.

LSP snippets typically do include tabs or spaces to add extra
indentation and don't rely on the client using `autoindent`
functionality.
For example:
public static void main(String[] args) {\n\t${0}\n}
Notice the `\t` after `{\n`
Adding spaces or tabs independent of that breaks snippets for languages
like Haskell where you can have snippets like:
${1:name} :: ${2}\n${1:name} ${3}= ${0:undefined}
To generate:
name ::
name = undefined
Problem: when line is blank link then there will got an invalid column number in math.min compare.
Solution: make sure the min column number is 0 not an illegal number.
Problem: Enabling ext_messages claims to set 'cmdheight' to zero, but
only does so for the current tabpage.
Solution: Set stored 'cmdheight' value to zero for all tabpages.
Problem:
vim.iter has both `rfind()` and various `*back()` methods, which work
in "reverse" or "backwards" order. It's inconsistent to have both kinds
of names, and "back" is fairly uncommon (rust) compared to python
(rfind, rstrip, rsplit, …).
Solution:
- Remove `nthback()` and let `nth()` take a negative index.
- Because `rnth()` looks pretty obscure, and because it's intuitive
for a function named `nth()` to take negative indexes.
- Rename `xxback()` methods to `rxx()`.
- This informally groups the "list-iterator" functions under a common
`r` prefix, which helps discoverability.
- Rename `peekback()` to `pop()`, in duality with the existing `peek`.
Problem:
`vim.ui.open` unnecessarily invents a different success/failure
convention. Its return type was changed in 57adf8c6e0, so we might as
well change it to have a more conventional form.
Solution:
Change the signature to use the `pcall` convention of `status, result`.
vim.fs.root() is a function for finding a project root relative to a
buffer using one or more "root markers". This is useful for LSP and
could be useful for other "projects" designs, as well as for any plugins
which work with a "projects" concept.
Specifically, functions that are run in the context of the test runner
are put in module `test/testutil.lua` while the functions that are run
in the context of the test session are put in
`test/functional/testnvim.lua`.

Problem: `vim.deprecate()` can be relatively significantly slower than
the deprecated function in "Nvim" plugin.
Solution: Optimize checks for "Nvim" plugin. This also results into not
distinguishing "xxx-dev" and "xxx" versions when doing checks, which
is essentially covered by the deprecation logic itself.
With this rewrite I get the times from #28459: `{ 0.024827, 0.003797, 0.002024, 0.001774, 0.001703 }`.
For quicker reference:
- On current Nightly it is something like `{ 3.72243, 0.918169, 0.968143, 0.763256, 0.783424 }`.
- On 0.9.5: `{ 0.002955, 0.000361, 0.000281, 0.000251, 0.00019 }`.
Problem:
We need to establish a pattern for `enable()`.
Solution:
- First `enable()` parameter is always `enable:boolean`.
- Update `vim.diagnostic.enable()`
- Update `vim.lsp.inlay_hint.enable()`.
- It was not released yet, so no deprecation is needed. But to help
HEAD users, it will show an informative error.
- vim.deprecate():
- Improve message when the "removal version" is a *current or older* version.
Problem:
vim.diagnostic.enable() does not match the signature of vim.lsp.inlay_hint.enable()
Solution:
- Change the signature so that the first 2 args are (bufnr, enable).
- Introduce a 3rd `opts` arg.
- Currently it only supports `opts.ns_id`.
Problem:
`vim.diagnostic.is_disabled` and `vim.diagnostic.disable` are unnecessary
and inconsistent with the "toggle" pattern (established starting with
`vim.lsp.inlay_hint`, see https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/25512#pullrequestreview-1676750276
As a reminder, the rationale is:
- we always need `enable()`
- we always end up needing `is_enabled()`
- "toggle" can be achieved via `enable(not is_enabled())`
- therefore,
- `toggle()` and `disable()` are redundant
- `is_disabled()` is a needless inconsistency
Solution:
- Introduce `vim.diagnostic.is_enabled`, and `vim.diagnostic.enable(…, enable:boolean)`
- Note: Future improvement would be to add an `enable()` overload `enable(enable:boolean, opts: table)`.
- Deprecate `vim.diagnostic.is_disabled`, `vim.diagnostic.disable`
Problem:
vim.ui.open "locks up" Nvim if the spawned process does not terminate. #27986
Solution:
- Change `vim.ui.open()`:
- Do not call `wait()`.
- Return a `SystemObj`. The caller can decide if it wants to `wait()`.
- Change `gx` to `wait()` only a short time.
- Allows `gx` to show a message if the command fails, without the
risk of waiting forever.
Also close Nvim instance before removing log file, otherwise the Nvim
instance will still write to the log file.
Also adjust log level in libuv_process_spawn(). Ref #27660
Design
- Enable commenting support only through `gc` mappings for simplicity.
No ability to configure, no Lua module, no user commands. Yet.
- Overall implementation is a simplified version of 'mini.comment'
module of 'echasnovski/mini.nvim' adapted to be a better suit for
core. It basically means reducing code paths which use only specific
fixed set of plugin config.
All used options are default except `pad_comment_parts = false`. This
means that 'commentstring' option is used as is without forcing single
space inner padding.
As 'tpope/vim-commentary' was considered for inclusion earlier, here is
a quick summary of how this commit differs from it:
- **User-facing features**. Both implement similar user-facing mappings.
This commit does not include `gcu` which is essentially a `gcgc`.
There are no commands, events, or configuration in this commit.
- **Size**. Both have reasonably comparable number of lines of code,
while this commit has more comments in tricky areas.
- **Maintainability**. This commit has (purely subjectively) better
readability, tests, and Lua types.
- **Configurability**. This commit has no user configuration, while
'vim-commentary' has some (partially as a counter-measure to possibly
modifying 'commentstring' option).
- **Extra features**:
- This commit supports tree-sitter by computing `'commentstring'`
option under cursor, which can matter in presence of tree-sitter
injected languages.
- This commit comments blank lines while 'tpope/vim-commentary' does
not. At the same time, blank lines are not taken into account when
deciding the toggle action.
- This commit has much better speed on larger chunks of lines (like
above 1000). This is thanks to using `nvim_buf_set_lines()` to set
all new lines at once, and not with `vim.fn.setline()`.
`exec_lua` makes code slighly harder to read, so it's beneficial to
remove it in cases where it's possible or convenient.
Not all `exec_lua` calls should be removed even if the test passes as it
changes the semantics of the test even if it happens to pass.
From https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/28155#discussion_r1548185779:
"Note for tests like this, which fundamentally are about conversion, you
end up changing what conversion you are testing. Even if the result
happens to be same (as they often are, as we like the rules to be
consistent if possible), you are now testing the RPC conversion rules
instead of the vim script to in-process lua conversion rules."
From https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/28155#discussion_r1548190152:
"A test like this specifies that the cursor is valid immediately and not
after a separate cycle of normal (or an other input-processing) mode."
