If fish launches a program and that program marks stdin as O_ASYNC, then
fish will start receiving SIGIO events on Mac. This occurs even though
the file descriptor itself does not have the O_ASYNC flag set.
SIGIO is reported as interrupting select which then breaks multiple-key
bindings, especially in vi-mode.
As the SIGIO based universal notifier is disabled, remove it and the
SIGIO handler itself. This allows fish to ignore properly ignore SIGIO.
Fixes#7853
It doesn't work on WSL, Solaris and Archlinux (and presumably that
means future versions of other linux distros).
In its current state I don't trust it enough to enable it anywhere by
default, especially since I'm not aware of an actual issue with the
named pipe (other than that the code is ugly).
Fixes#7774
My bet is that the Illumos, Cygwin, and WSL are not the only Unix-like
systems where the SIGIO notifier won't work, and since we have a good
enough and portable alternative that we can use be default on other
platforms where we don't specifically know it'll work, it doesn't make
sense not to go with that one instead.
Even if this patch is reverted at some point and we go back to
blacklisting platforms that *don't* support the SIGIO strategy, this is
almost certainly the right choice for inclusion in a minor release like
3.2.0.
See discussion in #6585.
Those platforms should not be using the sigio notifier in the first
place, this just stops them from failing to be able to compile fish
altogether.
See #6585
This fixes up the SIGIO notifier in preparation for using it on BSD. It
removes the reliance on the signal's si_code, which is not available in
BSD, and it properly handles the BSD behavior where SIGIO is delivered on
a read even if the read returns EAGAIN.
On WSL1, fcntl(F_SETOWN) will fail and this would report an error.
Suppress this error message since it is not very interesting.
The effect is to disable real-time universal variable propagation.
Introduce a new strategy for notifying other fish processes of universal
variable changes, as a planned replacement for the complex
strategy_named_pipe. The new strategy still uses a named pipe, but instead
of select() on it, it arranges for SIGIO to be delivered when data is
available. If a SIGIO has been seen since the last check, it means the file
needs to be re-read.
Profiling revealed string comparison in variable lookups to be a
significant hotspot. This change causes `make test` to complete ~4.5%
faster per `hyperfine`.
Because an exported universal variable must be exported in all variable
stacks, explicit invalidation is infeasible. Switch the universal variables
to a generation count.
This sets the explicit path to the default one, which should be okay,
since the default path never changes (not even if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
does).
Then it saves a narrow version of that, which saves most of the time
needed to `sync` in most cases.
Fixes#5905.
This runs build_tools/style.fish, which runs clang-format on C++, fish_indent on fish and (new) black on python.
If anything is wrong with the formatting, we should fix the tools, but automated formatting is worth it.
