- Problem: `^@` raises an error.
Solution: Store as `<Nul>`.
- Problem: `<t_xx` does not raise an error.
Solution: Raise an error if closing `>` is missing.
- Problem: Single `<` or `^` raises an error. It is inconvenient for users.
Solution: They are stored as a single character.

Problem:
- Some servers like LuaLS add unwanted blank lines after multiline
`@param` description.
- List items do not wrap nicely.
Solution:
- When rendering the LSP doc hover, remove blank lines in each `@param`
or `@return`.
- But ensure exactly one empty line before each.
- Set 'breakindent'.
Problem: `runtime/tools/emoji_list.vim` is a Lua script masquerading as
Vimscript, which is unnecessary now that `:source` works for Lua files.
Solution: Remove Vimscript wrapper.
Some commands don't accept "count" and only work with "range". It's not
clear why. The issue is tracked at [1], but this is a workaround for
now.

Problem: Lua accessors for
- global, local, and special variables (`vim.{g,t,w,b,v}.*`), and
- options (`vim.{o,bo,wo,opt,opt_local,opt_global}.*`),
do not have command-line completion, unlike their vimscript counterparts
(e.g., `g:`, `b:`, `:set`, `:setlocal`, `:call <fn>`, etc.).
Completion for vimscript functions (`vim.fn.*`) is incomplete and does
not list all the available functions.
Solution: Implement completion for vimscript function, variable and
option accessors in `vim._expand_pat` through:
- `getcompletion()` for variable and vimscript function accessors, and
- `nvim_get_all_options_info()` for option accessors.
Note/Remark:
- Short names for options are yet to be implemented.
- Completions for accessors with handles (e.g. `vim.b[0]`, `vim.wo[0]`)
are also yet to be implemented, and are left as future work, which
involves some refactoring of options.
- For performance reasons, we may want to introduce caching for
completing options, but this is not considered at this time since the
number of the available options is not very big (only ~350) and Lua
completion for option accessors appears to be pretty fast.
- Can we have a more "general" framework for customizing completions?
In the future, we may want to improve the implementation by moving the
core logic for generating completion candidates to each accessor (or
its metatable) or through some central interface, rather than writing
all the accessor-specific completion implementations in a single
function: `vim._expand_pat`.
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
**Problem:** The documentation for `TSNode` and `TSTree` methods is
incomplete from the LSP perspective. This is because they are written
directly to the vimdoc, rather than in Lua and generated to vimdoc.
**Solution:** Migrate the docs to Lua and generate them into the vimdoc.
This requires breaking up the `treesitter/_meta.lua` file into a
directory with a few different modules.
This commit also makes the vimdoc generator slightly more robust with
regard to sections that have multiple help tags (e.g. `*one* *two*`)
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: 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: For :InspectTree, indent size (`&shiftwidth`) for the tree
viewer may be incorrect.
This is because the tree viewer buffer with the filetype `query` does
not explicitly configures the tab size, which can mismatch with the
default indent size (2) assumed by TSTreeView's implementation.
Solution: Set shiftwidth to be the same as TSTreeViewOpts specifies,
which defaults to 2.
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: Language names are only registered for filetype<->language
lookups when parsers are actually loaded; this means users cannot rely
on `vim.treesitter.language.get_lang()` or `get_filetypes()` to return
the correct value when language and filetype coincide and always need to
add explicit fallbacks.
Solution: Always return the language name as valid filetype in
`get_filetypes()`, and default to the filetype in `get_lang()`. Document
this behavior.

**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
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:
fnamemodify with the :r flag will not strip extensions if the filename
starts with a ".". This means that files named ".in" could cause an
infinite loop.
Solution:
Add early return if the filename was not changed
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 (in practice)
a breaking change.

Problem: inconsistent case sensitive extension matching
Solution: unify case sensitive extension matching (Evgeni Chasnovski).
There are different approaches of how extensions are matched with
respect to case sensitivity. In particular, '\c' flag is used in pattern
whereas in most places case sensitive matching is guarded behind
`has("fname_case")` condition.
Replace all instances of '\c' with an explicit case sensitive pattern
variants guarded by `has("fname_case")`. Strictly speaking, this is a
breaking change because only two (most common and prevailingly tested)
variants are now matched: upper first letter and upper all letters.

Problem:
The LSP omnifunc can insert nil bytes, which when read in other places
(like semantic token) could cause an error:
semantic_tokens.lua:304: Vim:E976: Using a Blob as a String
Solution:
Use `#line` instead of `vim.fn.strlen(line)`. Both return UTF-8 bytes
but the latter can't handle nil bytes.
Completion candidates can currently insert nil bytes, if other parts of
Alternative fix to https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/30359
Note that https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/30315 will avoid the
insertion of nil bytes from the LSP omnifunc, but the change of this PR
can more easily be backported.
**Problem:** `vim.treesitter.get_parser` will throw an error if no parser
can be found.
- This means the caller is responsible for wrapping it in a `pcall`,
which is easy to forget
- It also makes it slightly harder to potentially memoize `get_parser`
in the future
- It's a bit unintuitive since many other `get_*` style functions
conventionally return `nil` if no object is found (e.g. `get_node`,
`get_lang`, `query.get`, etc.)
**Solution:** Return `nil` if no parser can be found or created
- This requires a function signature change, and some new assertions in
places where the parser will always (or should always) be found.
- This commit starts by making this change internally, since it is
breaking. Eventually it will be rolled out to the public API.
Ensure that the function `pick_call_hierarchy_item` correctly handles
the case where `call_hierarchy_items` is nil or an empty table. This
prevents potential errors when the function is called with no items.

Problem:
str_utfindex_enc could return an error if the index was longer than the
line length. This was handled in each of the calls to it individually
Solution:
* Fix the call at the source level so that if the index is higher than
the line length, utf length is returned
Problem: vim.tbl_deep_extend had an undocumented feature where arrays
(integer-indexed tables) were not merged but compared literally (used
for merging default and user config, where one list should overwrite the
other completely). Turns out this behavior was relied on in quite a
number of plugins (even though it wasn't a robust solution even for that
use case, since lists of tables (e.g., plugin specs) can be array-like
as well).
Solution: Revert the removal of this special feature. Check for
list-like (contiguous integer indices) instead, as this is closer to the
intent. Document this behavior.
Problem:
str_byteindex_enc could return an error if the index was longer than the
lline length. This was handled in each of the calls to it individually
Solution:
* Fix the call at the source level so that if the index is higher than
the line length, line length is returned as per LSP specification
* Remove pcalls on str_byteindex_enc calls. No longer needed now that
str_byteindex_enc has a bounds check.

Updated the `rpc.connect` function to support connecting to LSP servers
using hostnames, not just IP addresses. This change includes updates to
the documentation and additional test cases to verify the new
functionality.
- Modified `connect` function to resolve hostnames.
- Updated documentation to reflect the change.
- Added test case for connecting using hostname.
Added a TCP echo server utility function to the LSP test suite. This
server echoes the first message it receives and is used in tests to
verify LSP server connections via both IP address and hostname.
Refactored existing tests to use the new utility function.
For context, see https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/24738. Before
that PR, Nvim did not correctly handle captures with quantifiers. That
PR made the correct behavior opt-in to minimize breaking changes, with
the intention that the correct behavior would eventually become the
default. Users can still opt-in to the old (incorrect) behavior for now,
but this option will eventually be removed completely.
BREAKING CHANGE: Any plugin which uses `Query:iter_matches()` must
update their call sites to expect an array of nodes in the `match`
table, rather than a single node.

Problem: Installing treesitter parser is hard (harder than
climbing to heaven).
Solution: Add optional support for wasm parsers with `wasmtime`.
Notes:
* Needs to be enabled by setting `ENABLE_WASMTIME` for tree-sitter and
Neovim. Build with
`make CMAKE_EXTRA_FLAGS=-DENABLE_WASMTIME=ON
DEPS_CMAKE_FLAGS=-DENABLE_WASMTIME=ON`
* Adds optional Rust (obviously) and C11 dependencies.
* Wasmtime comes with a lot of features that can negatively affect
Neovim performance due to library and symbol table size. Make sure to
build with minimal features and full LTO.
* To reduce re-compilation times, install `sccache` and build with
`RUSTC_WRAPPER=<path/to/sccache> make ...`
Problem: Some items of completion results include function signatures that can
cause the pum to be very long when a function has many params, because pum
scales with the longest word/abbr.
Solution: add custom covert function that can customise abbr to remove params.
Problem: the autotrigger mechanism could fire completion requests despite
completion already being active from another completion mechanism or manual
trigger
Solution: add a condition to avoid an additional request.
Lua's string.byte has a maximum (undocumented) allowable length, so
vim.text.hencode fails on large strings with the error "string slice too
long".
Instead of converting the string to an array of bytes up front, convert
each character to a byte one at a time.
