This concerns what happens if the user types e.g. `grep --i` and grep or
its completions have not yet been loaded. Previously we would "bounce to
the main thread" from within the autosuggestion thread to load grep's
completions. However under concurrent execution, this may deadlock as the
main thread is waiting for something else.
In the new implementation, complete simply records the commands that it
would autoload, and returns them back to the caller, where the caller can
decide how to handle them.
In general iothread_perform_on_main risks deadlock under concurrent
execution and we should try to get rid of it.
There should be no user-visible change from this fix.
This makes it so `complete -c foo -n test1 -n test2` registers *both*
conditions, and when it comes time to check the candidate, tries both,
in that order. If any fails it stops, if all succeed the completion is offered.
The reason for this is that it helps with caching - we have a
condition cache, but conditions like
```fish
test (count (commandline -opc)) -ge 2; and contains -- (commandline -opc)[2] length
test (count (commandline -opc)) -ge 2; and contains -- (commandline -opc)[2] sub
```
defeats it pretty easily, because the cache only looks at the entire
script as a string - it can't tell that the first `test` is the same
in both.
So this means we separate it into
```fish
complete -f -c string -n "test (count (commandline -opc)) -ge 2; and contains -- (commandline -opc)[2] length" -s V -l visible -d "Use the visible width, excluding escape sequences"
+complete -f -c string -n "test (count (commandline -opc)) -ge 2" -n "contains -- (commandline -opc)[2] length" -s V -l visible -d "Use the visible width, excluding escape sequences"
```
which allows the `test` to be cached.
In tests, this improves performance for the string completions by 30%
by reducing all the redundant `test` calls.
The `git` completions can also greatly benefit from this.
When fish expands a string that starts with a tilde, like `~/stuff/*`, it
first must resolve the tilde (e.g. to the user's home directory) before
passing it to wildcard expansion. The wildcard expansion will produce full
paths like `/home/user/stuff/file`. fish then "unexpands" the home directory
back to a tilde.
Previously this was only used during completions, but in the next commit
we plan to use it for string expansions as well.
Rationalize this behavior by adding an explicit flag to request it and
explain some subtleties about completions.
If we ever need any of these... they're in this commit:

status_cmd_opts_t::feature_name
completion_t::is_naturally_less_than()
parser_t::set_empty_var_and_fire()

If the user types something like `/**`, prior to this change we would
attempt to expand it in the background for both highlighting and
autosuggestions. This could thrash your disk and also consume a lot of
memory.
Add a a field to operation_context_t to allow specifying a limit, and add
a "default background" limit of 512 items.
This adds the ability to limit how many expansions are produced. For
example if $big contains 10 items, and is Cartesian-expanded as
$big$big$big$big... 10 times, we would naviely get 10^10 = 10 billion
results, which fish can't actually handle. Implement this in
completion_receiver_t, which now can return false to indicate an overflow.
The initial expansion limit 'k_default_expansion_limit' is set as 512k
items. There's no way for users to change this at present.
This switches certain uses from just appending to a list to using
completion_receiver_t, in preparation for limiting how many completions
may be produced. Perhaps in time this could also be used for "streaming"
completions.
completion_receiver_t wraps a completion list; it will centralize logic
around adding completions and most importantly it will enforce that we
do not exceed our expansion limit.
In preparation for introducing "smart case", refactor string fuzzy
matching. Specifically split out the case folding and match type into
separate fields, so that we can introduce more case folding types without
a combinatoric explosion.
Currently only `complete` will list completions, and it will list all
of them.
That's a bit ridiculous, especially since `complete -c foo` just does nothing.
So just make `complete -c foo` list all the completions for `foo`.
This commit recognizes an existing pattern: many operations need some
combination of a set of variables, a way to detect cancellation, and
sometimes a parser. For example, tab completion needs a parser to execute
custom completions, the variable set, should cancel on SIGINT. Background
autosuggestions don't need a parser, but they do need the variables and
should cancel if the user types something new. Etc.
This introduces a new triple operation_context_t that wraps these concepts
up. This simplifies many method signatures and argument passing.
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.
This enables some limited use of arguments for wrapping completions. The
simplest example is that complete gco -w 'git checkout' now works like
you would want: `gco <tab>` now invokes git's completions with the
`checkout` argument prepended.
Fixes#1976
Prior to this fix, autoloads like function and completion autoloads
would check their path variable (like fish_function_path) on every
autoload request. Switch to invalidating it in response to the variable
changing.
This improves time on a microbenchmark:
for i in (seq 50000)
setenv test_env val$i
end
from ~11 seconds to ~6.5 seconds.
