Backslashes are valid characters in unix style paths.
Fix the conversion of backslashes to forward slashes in several `vim.fs`
functions when not on Windows. On Windows, backslashes will still be converted
to forward slashes.
- Add :h fswatch-limitations that notifies user about default inotify
limitations on linux and how to adjust them
- Check for Event queue overflow message from fswatch and refer user to
new documentation

- Added `@inlinedoc` so single use Lua types can be inlined into the
functions docs. E.g.
```lua
--- @class myopts
--- @inlinedoc
---
--- Documentation for some field
--- @field somefield integer
--- @param opts myOpts
function foo(opts)
end
```
Will be rendered as
```
foo(opts)
Parameters:
- {opts} (table) Object with the fields:
- somefield (integer) Documentation
for some field
```
- Marked many classes with with `@nodoc` or `(private)`.
We can eventually introduce these when we want to.
Problem:
The documentation flow (`gen_vimdoc.py`) has several issues:
- it's not very versatile
- depends on doxygen
- doesn't work well with Lua code as it requires an awkward filter script to convert it into pseudo-C.
- The intermediate XML files and filters makes it too much like a rube goldberg machine.
Solution:
Re-implement the flow using Lua, LPEG and treesitter.
- `gen_vimdoc.py` is now replaced with `gen_vimdoc.lua` and replicates a portion of the logic.
- `lua2dox.lua` is gone!
- No more XML files.
- Doxygen is now longer used and instead we now use:
- LPEG for comment parsing (see `scripts/luacats_grammar.lua` and `scripts/cdoc_grammar.lua`).
- LPEG for C parsing (see `scripts/cdoc_parser.lua`)
- Lua patterns for Lua parsing (see `scripts/luacats_parser.lua`).
- Treesitter for Markdown parsing (see `scripts/text_utils.lua`).
- The generated `runtime/doc/*.mpack` files have been removed.
- `scripts/gen_eval_files.lua` now instead uses `scripts/cdoc_parser.lua` directly.
- Text wrapping is implemented in `scripts/text_utils.lua` and appears to produce more consistent results (the main contributer to the diff of this change).
- Problem: One cannot easily write something like, for example:
`version_current >= {0, 10, 0}`; writing like
`not vim.version.lt(version_current, {0, 10, 0})` is verbose.
- Solution: add {`le`,`ge`} in addition to {`lt`,`gt`}.
- Also improve typing on the operator methods: allow `string` as well.
- Update the example in `vim.version.range()` docs: `ge` in place of
`gt` better matches the semantics of `range:has`.
- Add section `VIM.LPEG` and `VIM.RE` to docs/lua.txt.
- Add `_meta/re.lua` which adds luadoc and type annotations, for the
vendored `vim.re` package.
- Fix minor style issues on `_meta/lpeg.lua` luadoc for better vimdocs
generation.
- Fix a bug on `gen_vimdoc` where non-helptags in verbatim code blocks
were parsed as helptags, affecting code examples on `vim.lpeg.Cf`,
etc.
- Also move the `vim.regex` section below so that it can be located
closer to `vim.lpeg` and `vim.re`.
Problem: Some lines in the generated vim doc are overflowing, not
correctly wrapped at 78 characters. This happens when docs body contains
several consecutive 'inline' elements generated by doxygen.
Solution: Take into account the current column offset of the last line,
and prepend some padding before doc_wrap().
Problem:
Currently `deepcopy` hashes every single tables it copies so it can be
reused. For tables of mostly unique items that are non recursive, this
hashing is unnecessarily expensive
Solution:
Port the `noref` argument from Vimscripts `deepcopy()`.
The below benchmark demonstrates the results for two extreme cases of
tables of different sizes. One table that uses the same table lots of
times and one with all unique tables.
| test | `noref=false` (ms) | `noref=true` (ms) |
| -------------------- | ------------------ | ----------------- |
| unique tables (50) | 6.59 | 2.62 |
| shared tables (50) | 3.24 | 6.40 |
| unique tables (2000) | 23381.48 | 2884.53 |
| shared tables (2000) | 3505.54 | 14038.80 |
The results are basically the inverse of each other where `noref` is
much more performance on tables with unique fields, and `not noref` is
more performant on tables that reuse fields.
- Remove the usage of the term "defer" to avoid confusion with
`vim.defer_fn`, which also calls `vim.schedule_wrap` internally.
- Explicitly state that `vim.schedule_wrap` returns a function in the
text.
- Mention that arguments are passed along.
- Include a usage example.
- Rename param to `fn`.
