Nvim note: intentionally did not include `--ttyfail` since its purpose
is not clear. (And it isn't used in any Vim test files/scripts).
---
Problem: When the input or output is not a tty Vim appears to hang.
Solution: Add the --ttyfail argument. Also add the "ttyin" and "ttyout"
features to be able to check in Vim script.

- Prefer "TUI" where possible to refer to the host terminal.
- Remove obsolete tags and ancient TTY exposition.
- Establish "terminal" to consistently mean "terminal emulator" in all
Nvim documentation. This removes the need for verbose qualifiers in
tags and prose.

Problem: Cannot get the number of the current quickfix or location list.
Solution: Use the current list if "nr" in "what" is zero. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan) Remove debug command from test.

Disable CommandLineToArgvW-standard quoting for cmd.exe.
libuv assumes spawned processes follow the convention expected by
CommandLineToArgvW(). But cmd.exe is non-conformant, so for cmd.exe:
- With system([]), the caller has full control (and responsibility) to
quote arguments correctly.
- With system(''), shell* options are used.
libuv quoting is disabled if argv[0] is:
- cmd.exe
- cmd
- $COMSPEC resolving to a path with filename cmd.exe

Problem: There is no easy way to stop all timers. There is no way to
temporary pause a timer.
Solution: Add timer_stopall() and timer_pause().

Problem: Man test fails when run with the GUI.
Solution: Adjust for different behavior of GUI. Add assert_inrange().
61c04493b0
Only changes related to assert_inrange() were included, since we have a
distinct man plugin.
Problem: Values for true and false can be confusing.
Solution: Update the documentation. Add a test. Make v:true evaluate to
TRUE for a non-zero-arg.

Problem: Using function() with a name will find another function when it is
redefined.
Solution: Add funcref(). Refer to lambda using a partial. Fix several
reference counting issues.

Problem: User defined functions can't be a closure.
Solution: Add the "closure" argument. Allow using :unlet on a bound
variable. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto, Ken Takata)

Problem: Using submatch() in a lambda passed to substitute() is verbose.
Solution: Use a static list and pass it as an optional argument to the
function. Fix memory leak.

Problem: filter() and map() either require a string or defining a function.
Solution: Support lambda, a short way to define a function that evaluates an
expression. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto, Ken Takata)

Problem: Cannot detect a crash in tests when caused by garbagecollect().
Solution: Add garbagecollect_for_testing(). Do not free a job if is still
useful.

This allows executables to be found by :!, system(), and executable() if
they live next to ("sibling" to) nvim.exe. This is what gvim on Windows
does, and also matches the behavior of Win32 SearchPath().

Problem: getwininfo() and getbufinfo() are inefficient.
Solution: Do not make a copy of all window/buffer-local options. Make it
possible to get them with gettabwinvar() or getbufvar().
3056735ae8
Problem: The field names used by getbufinfo(), gettabinfo() and
getwininfo() are not consistent.
Solution: Use bufnr, winnr and tabnr. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
3392883770
Problem: It's not easy to find out if a window is a quickfix or location
list window.
Solution: Add "loclist" and "quickfix" entries to the dict returnec by
getwininfo(). (Yegappan Lakshmanan)

Problem: It is not easy to get information about buffers, windows and
tabpages.
Solution: Add getbufinfo(), getwininfo() and gettabinfo(). (Yegappan

Problem: When using a partial on a dictionary it always gets bound to that
dictionary.
Solution: Make a difference between binding a function to a dictionary
explicitly or automatically.

Contains the exit value nvim will use.
Before exiting, it is v:null. That way jobs or autocmds (in VimLeavePre or
VimLeave) can check if Neovim is about to quit and with what exit value.
Closes#4666.
In order to not conflict with new error codes that Vim adds, all Neovim
error codes should be above 5000. The three existing sub-5000 error
codes (E926, E951, and E952) are now E50003, E5004, and E5005
respectively.
E953 was removed in 6167ce6df2, so just
remove it from the help.
Closes#3529Closes#5241
In Vim,
:echo system('cat - &', 'foo')
works because for both system() and :! Vim writes input to a temp file and uses
shell syntax to redirect the file to the backgrounded `cat` (get_cmd_output()
.. make_filter_cmd()).
In Nvim,
:echo system('cat - &', 'foo')
fails because we write the input directly via pipes (shell.c:do_os_system()),
but (per POSIX[1]) backgrounded process input stream is redirected from
/dev/null (unless overridden by shell redirection; supported only by some shells
[2]), so our writes are ignored, the process exits quickly, and if we are
writing data larger than the buffer size we'll see EPIPE.
This still works:
:%w !tee > foo1358.txt &
but this does not:
:%w !tee foo1358.txt &
though it *should* (why doesn't it?) because we still do the temp file dance
in do_bang() .. do_filter().

Problem: Cannot use a window ID where a window number is expected.
Solution: Add LOWEST_WIN_ID, so that the window ID can be used where a
number is expected.

`deprecated.txt` is a place for deprecated tags to live.
- Encourages aggressive documentation of deprecations without cluttering
the main help files.
- Provides a single browsable reference of all deprecations.
Other changes:
- Move tags to doc/vim_diff.txt.
- Remove doc/quotes.txt. It has little historical value, except maybe the
Larry Wall quote.

Problem: getcompletion() not well tested.
Solution: Add more testing.

Tighten our jargon, avoid mentioning "msgpack" everywhere we mention the
RPC API. Prefer "RPC API" when speaking about the remote API.
Though it's conceivable that we may one day support some protocol other
than msgpack, that isn't relevant to most of our discussion of the API,
including this document.
The file name msgpack_rpc.txt is preserved to avoid totally breaking
URLs.
Problem: Can only get the directory of the current window.
Solution: Add window and tab arguments to getcwd() and haslocaldir().

Updated runtime files.

Missing files in runtime/doc: todo.txt, tags. Patch to runtime/doc/syntax.txt
was applied manually in part, for no discernible reason.
test_cursor_func.vim hangs at the call to
disable_char_avail_for_testing(). The test does not actually need this
function (and it correctly fails if the fix from 7.4.1300 is reverted).
Given that disable_char_avail_for_testing is a gigantic hack, if we can
avoid it let's do so.
New ex commands: 'tcd', 'tchdir'
Changed Vimscript functions: 'haslocaldir', 'getcwd'
The ex-commands ':tcd' and ':tchdir' are the tab-local equivalents of
':lcd' and ':lchdir'. There are no new Vimscript functions introduced,
instead the functions 'haslocaldir' and 'getcwd' take in optional
arguments. See the documentation for details
Since there is now different levels of local directory a simple boolean
at source level is no longer sufficient; a new enumeration type is used
for the scope-level from now on.
The documentation has been accommodated for these new commands and
functional tests have been written to test the feature.
Problem: Vim can create a directory but not delete it.
Solution: Add an argument to delete() to make it possible to delete a
directory, also recursively.

Also removes a note regarding the performance of `empty(long_list)` vs
`len(long_list) == 0` because this has nothing to do with the actual state:
first checks that list is not NULL and pointer to its first element is also not
NULL, second gets length by comparing list with NULL and falls back to
`tv->vval.v_list->lv_len` if not. `len(long_list)` *may* still be *slightly*
slower, but the slow down has nothing to do with the length of the list, is
hardly noticeable and depends on how good compiler is at inlining and what
exactly have author of the plugin written (I mean `len(long_list) == 0` vs
`empty(long_list)` vs `!len(long_list)`).
