As discussed in #694, vim encryption uses old,
obsolete algorithms that are poorly implemented.
Since insecure cryptography is worse than no
cryptgraphy, the community voted in favor of
removing all crypto.
Various alternatives to the old crypto is
being discussed in #701.
Closes#694.
When building nvim as a shared library for testing, environ is not
exposed. In order to gain access to the environment variables, you must
get a pointer to them from _NSGetEnviron().
It appears that this may affect the FreeBSD platform too.
cproto (http://invisible-island.net/cproto/) was used to do the bulk of
the work in batch; even the most recent version had some issues with
typedef'd parameters; a quick "patch" was to modify `lex.l` to
explicitly include all vim typedefs as known types. One example from
`vim.h` is
typedef unsigned char char_u;
which was added in `lex.l` as
<INITIAL>char_u { save_text_offset(); return T_CHAR; }
Even with these changes there were some problems:
* Two files (`mbyte.c` and `os_unix.c`) were not cleanly converted.
* Any function with the `UNUSED` macro in its parameter list was not converted.
Rather than spend more time fixing the automated approach, the two files
`mbyte.c` and `os_unix.c` were converted by hand.
The `UNUSED` macros were compiler specific, and the alternative, generic
version would require a different syntax, so in order to simplify the
conversion all uses of `UNUSED` were stripped, and then the sources were
run back through cproto. It is planned to reconsider each use of
`UNUSED` manually using a new macro definition.
- remove SELinux dependency for now
- OSX: find libintl.h
- OSX: fix compile errors
- OSX: use hack around gettext nonsense
- fix gettext on ubuntu
- work around Arch's lack of -ltermcap
- add README.md
- Cleanup source tree, leaving only files necessary for compilation/testing
- Process files through unifdef to remove tons of FEAT_* macros
- Process files through uncrustify to normalize source code formatting.
- Port the build system to cmake
