Asynchronous API functions are served immediately, which means pending
input could change the state of Nvim shortly after an async API function
result is returned.
nvim_get_mode() is different:
- If RPCs are known to be blocked, it responds immediately (without
flushing the input/event queue)
- else it is handled just-in-time before waiting for input, after
pending input was processed. This makes the result more reliable
(but not perfect).
Internally this is handled as a special case, but _semantically_ nothing
has changed: API users never know when input flushes, so this internal
special-case doesn't violate that. As far as API users are concerned,
nvim_get_mode() is just another asynchronous API function.
In all cases nvim_get_mode() never blocks for more than the time it
takes to flush the input/event queue (~µs).
Note: This doesn't address #6166; nvim_get_mode() will provoke #6166 if
e.g. `d` is operator-pending.

Also re-word some error messages:
- "Key does not exist: %s"
- "Invalid channel: %<PRIu64>"
- "Request array size must be 4 (request) or 3 (notification)"
- "String cannot contain newlines"

In #6221 there was a mistake in calculating which folds need to be
re-ordered. When there are no folds after those that have been adjusted,
then `move_end` remains 0. This results in reverse_fold_order()
swapping folds that have been adjusted with uninitialised folds in the
remainder of the grow array.
Add a check in foldMoveRange() to account for this case.
Not using enum{} because SIZE_MAX exceeds integer and I do not really like how
enum definition is described in C99:
1. Even though all values must fit into the chosen type (6.7.2.2, p 4) the type
to choose is still implementation-defined.
2. 6.4.4.3 explicitly states that “an identifier declared as an enumeration
constant has type `int`”. So it looks like “no matter what type was chosen
for enumeration, constants will be integers”. Yet the following simple
program:
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stddef.h>
enum { X=SIZE_MAX };
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
printf("x:%zu m:%zu t:%zu v:%zu",
sizeof(X), sizeof(SIZE_MAX), sizeof(size_t), (size_t)X);
}
yields one of the following using different compilers:
- clang/gcc/pathcc: `x:8 m:8 t:8 v:18446744073709551615`
- pcc/tcc: `x:4 m:8 t:8 v:1844674407370955161`
If I remove the cast of X to size_t then pcc/tcc both yield `x:4 m:8 t:8
v:4294967295`, other compilers’ output does not change.
All compilers were called with `$compiler -std=c99 -xc -` (feeding program
from echo), except for `tcc` which has missing `-std=c99`. `pcc` seems to
ignore the argument though: it is perfectly fine with `-std=c1000`.
Calling cmd.exe in Windows follows a very different pattern from Vim.
The primary difference is that Vim does a nested call to cmd.exe, e.g.
the following call in Vim
system('echo a 2>&1')
spawns the following processes
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim80\vimrun" -s C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c (echo a 2^>^&1
^>C:\Users\dummy\AppData\Local\Temp\VIoC169.tmp 2^>^&1)
C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c (echo a 2^>^&1
^>C:\Users\dummy\AppData\Local\Temp\VIo3C6C.tmp 2^>^&1)
C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c (echo a 2>&1
>C:\Users\dummy\AppData\Local\Temp\VIo3C6C.tmp 2>&1)
The escaping with ^ is needed because cmd.exe calls itself and needs to
preserve the special metacharacters for the last call. However in nvim
no nested call is made, system('') spawns a single cmd.exe process.
Setting shellxescape to "" disables escaping with ^.
The previous default for shellxquote=( wrapped any command in
parenthesis, in Vim this is more meaningful due to the use of tempfiles
to store the output and redirection (also see &shellquote). There is
a slight benefit in having the default be empty because some expressions
that run in console will not run within parens e.g. due to unbalanced
double quotes
system('echo "a b')
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

Lua has too many pitfalls here:
- os.execute() requires shell-escaping
- os.execute() has breaking changes between Lua 5.1 and 5.2
- No native way in Lua to handle "readonly" etc. on Windows
Before this commit it emitted e_spell_trunc in the first case and
treated file as completely valid on the second. While first is fine
(both errors are actually valid, though old error is probably better),
second results in incorrect regex used.
