We don't need to know that it tried these five before finally getting
one, the list is *right there*.
It is also very unlikely that someone has "xterm" or "ansi" but not "xterm-256color"
For xterm-256color, we don't warn *at all* because we have that one hardcoded.
This allows us to get the terminfo information without linking against curses.
That means we can get by without a bunch of awkward C-API trickery.
There is no global "cur_term" kept by a library for us that we need to invalidate.
Note that it still requires a "unhashed terminfo database", and I don't know how well it handles termcap.
I am not actually sure if there are systems that *can't* have terminfo, everything I looked at
has the ncurses terminfo available to install at least.
... even if the file hasn't changed. This addresses an oddity in the following
case:
* Shell is started,
* function `foo` is sourced from foo.fish
* foo.fish is *externally* edited and saved
* <Loaded definition of `foo` is now stale, but fish is unaware>
* `funced foo` loads `type -p foo` showing changed definition, user exits
$EDITOR saving no changes (or with $status 0, more generally).
* Stale definition of `foo` remains
If a hostname starts with a dash `-` character, the prompt_hostname function
fails because the `string` function interprets it as an option instead
of an argument.
We still don't support tabs but as of the parent commit, there are no more
weird glitches, so it should be fine to recall those lines?
This reverts commit cc0e366037.
Inserting Tab or Backspace characters causes weird glitches. Sometimes it's
useful to paste tabs as part of a code block.
Render tabs as "␉" and so on for other ASCII control characters, see
https://unicode-table.com/en/blocks/control-pictures/. This fixes the
width-related glitches.
You can see it in action by inserting some control characters into the
command line:
set chars
for x in (seq 1 0x1F)
set -a chars (printf "%02x\\\\x%02x" $x $x)
end
eval set chars $chars
commandline -i "echo '" $chars
Fixes#6923Fixes#5274Closes#7295
We could extend this approach to display a fallback symbol for every unknown
nonprintable character, not just ASCII control characters.
In future we might want to support tab properly.
This reserved 64, which is *gigantic*.
Over all of share/**.fish, 75% of lists are empty, 99.97% are 16
elements or fewer.
Reducing this to 16 reduces memory usage for a gigantic example
script (git.fish pasted a bunch of times for a total of almost 100k
lines) by ~10% and speeds up "--no-execute" time by the same amount.
For smaller scripts it's less noticeable simply because parse time
matters less.
There are other options, like creating the vec ::with_capacity, or
using 8 instead of 16, or even letting the vec just grow
naturally (rust's vec currently grows from 0 to 4 and then doubles,
which isn't terrible for this use), but the point is that 64 is
wasteful and never comes out on top, always in the last two places
comparing a bunch of choices.
Makes it possible to use the sanitizers again.
Note that this requires RUSTFLAGS to be set when running CMake, and will not be
updated when running the build system if the environment variable changes.
