An implication of this current approach is that `NVIM_API_LEVEL` should be
bumped when a new Lua function is added.
TODO(future): add a lint check which requires `@since` on all new functions.
ref #25416
Some composite/compound types even as basic as `(string|number)[]` are
not currently supported by the luacats LPEG grammar used by gen_vimdoc.
It would be parsed & rendered as just `string|number`.
Changeset adds better support for these types.
Problem: quickfix list does not handle hardlinks well
Solution: store original file name with quickfix entry
(Austin Chang)
Quickfix list shows entries with duplicate name if the file is opened
with the path of hard links.
The major cause is that qflist assumed that the filename passed into
`qf_add_entry` matches the filename opened with the buffer.
This patch handles this case by introduce a `qf_fname` into `qfline_S`
structure. It stores the filename from `qf_add_entry` for each quickfix
line.

Ensure the screen is fully updated before blocking for input. This did
not always happen before, for example when setting `cursorline
scrolloff=9999`, which lead to jerky movement when using some GUI
applications.
Because of the duality of redraw_later, this can't be done in
command-line or when waiting for "Press ENTER". In many of those cases
the redraw is expected AFTER the key press, while normally it should
update the screen immediately. So, those special cases are excluded.
Problem: fixed order of items in insert-mode completion menu
Solution: Introduce the 'completeitemalign' option with default
value "abbr,kind,menu" (glepnir).
Adding an new option `completeitemalign` abbr is `cia` to custom
the complete-item order in popupmenu.

Problem:
The `_watch.watch()` strategy may fail if the given path does not exist:
…/vim/_watch.lua:101: ENOENT: no such file or directory
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'assert'
…/vim/_watch.lua:101: in function <…/vim/_watch.lua:61>
[string "<nvim>"]:5: in main chunk
- `_watch.watch()` actively asserts any error returned by `handle:start()`.
- whereas `_watch.watchdirs()` just ignores the result of `root_handle:start()`.
Servers may send "client/registerCapability" with "workspace/didChangeWatchedFiles"
item(s) (`baseUri`) which do not actually exist on the filesystem:
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/28058#issuecomment-2189929424
{
method = "client/registerCapability",
params = {
registrations = { {
method = "workspace/didChangeWatchedFiles",
registerOptions = {
watchers = { {
globPattern = {
baseUri = "file:///Users/does/not/exist",
pattern = "**/*.{ts,js,mts,mjs,cjs,cts,json,svelte}"
}
},
...
}
Solution:
- Remove the assert in `_watch.watch()`.
- Show a once-only message for both cases.
- More detailed logging is blocked until we have `nvim_log` / `vim.log`.

Problem: Wrong display when typing in diff mode with 'smoothscroll'.

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
Problem: No clear way to check whether parsers are available for a given
language.
Solution: Make `language.add()` return `true` if a parser was
successfully added and `nil` otherwise. Use explicit `assert` instead of
relying on thrown errors.

Problem:
Headings in :help do not stand out visually.
Solution:
Define a non-standard `@markup.heading.1.delimiter` group and
special-case it in `highlight_group.c`.
FUTURE:
This is a cheap workaround until we have #25718 which will enable:
- fully driven by `vimdoc/highlights.scm` instead of using highlight
tricks (`guibg=bg guifg=bg guisp=fg`)
- better support of "cterm" ('notermguicolors')
Problem: diff mode does not handle overlapping diffs correctly
Solution: correct the logic to handle overlapping blocks

Vim merges overlapped diff blocks and it doesn't work expectedly

**Problem:** `is_ancestor()` uses a slow, bottom-up parent lookup which
has performance pitfalls detailed in #28512.
**Solution:** Take `is_ancestor()` from $O(n^2)$ to $O(n)$ by
incorporating the use of the `child_containing_descendant()` function
Problem: When using nvim_paste in a mapping during a macro recording,
both the mapping and the paste are recorded, causing the paste
to be performed twice when replaying the macro.
Solution: Only record a paste when it is from RPC.
Unfortunately this means there is no way for a script to make a recorded
paste. A way to enable that can be discussed later if there is need.
Before this PR, the behavior of nvim_paste is:
- When vim.paste() returns false, return false to the client, but treat
following chunks normally (i.e. rely on the client cancelling the
paste as expected).
- When vim.paste() throws an error, still return true to the client, but
drain the following chunks in the stream without calling vim.paste().
There are two problems with such behavior:
- When vim.paste() errors, the client is still supposed to send the
remaining chunks of the stream, even though they do nothing.
- Having different code paths for two uncommon but similar situations
complicates maintenance.
This PR makes both the cancel case and the error case return false to
the client and drain the remaining chunks of the stream, which, apart
from sharing the same code path, is beneficial whether the client checks
the return value of nvim_paste or not:
- If the client checks the return value, it can avoid sending the
following chunks needlessly after an error.
- If the client doesn't check the return value, chunks following a
cancelled chunk won't be pasted on the server regardless, which leads
to less confusing behavior.
Problem:
`vim.fs.dirname([[C:\User\XXX\AppData\Local]])` returns "." on
mingw/msys2.
Solution:
- Check for "mingw" when deciding `iswin`.
- Use `has("win32")` where possible, it works in "fast" contexts since
b02eeb6a72.
In the api_info() output:
:new|put =map(filter(api_info().functions, '!has_key(v:val,''deprecated_since'')'), 'v:val')
...
{'return_type': 'ArrayOf(Integer, 2)', 'name': 'nvim_win_get_position', 'method': v:true, 'parameters': [['Window', 'window']], 'since': 1}
The `ArrayOf(Integer, 2)` return type didn't break clients when we added
it, which is evidence that clients don't use the `return_type` field,
thus renaming Dictionary => Dict in api_info() is not a breaking change.

Problem: When input immediately follows end of bracketed paste, the
nvim_input may be processed before the nvim_paste.
Solution: Ensure some waiting after the end of a bracketed paste.
Problem: incorrect internal diff with an empty file
Solution: Set pointer to NULL, instead of using an empty line file
(Yukihiro Nakadaira)
When using internal diff, empty file is read as one empty line file.
So result differs from external diff.
