- 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.
There was never any investigation done to determine whether using
jemalloc was actually a net benefit for nvim. It has been a portability
limitation and adds another factor to consider when triaging issues.
