The tool subcommand had a "-f" flag to disallow file completions which is wrong: most of the tools there require a file/directory argument.
Since we're here, also limit "go tool compile" to only match Go source files.
From the discussion in #3802, handling spaces within braces more
gracefully. Leading and trailing whitespace that isn't quoted or escaped
is stripped, whitespace in the middle is preserved. Any whitespace
encountered within expansion tokens is treated as a single space,
similar to how programming languages that don't hard break tokens/quotes
on line endings would.
cmake can (and should) be used to invoke the build/install command,
instead of directly calling `ninja` or `make`, via the `--build DIR
[--target TARGET]` syntax.
This will use the native BSD bmake build system instead of the previous
hack which spawned an instance of `gmake` (GNU Make) if installed to
perform the build.
This addresses the discussion regarding the dependency on `hostname` and
the addition of a `$hostname` variable to replace it.
`$hostname` is a read-only, GLOBAL_ENV, non-electrified, lowercased,
non-exported variable that is read once at the start of a fish session.
The finer points of this can be debated endlessly, but this is a shared
starting point that any changes can build on (ref #4422).
Regarding performance: @krader1961 brought up some good points in #4422
regarding potential DNS timeouts (but they really don't apply except if
the host name is not hardcoded in resolv.conf, which quickly manifests
with a cascade of errors on most *nix systems in all cases), but note
that gethostname() was already being called by fish so that would be
more of a future optimization than a "must" at this point.
The value is not electrified or tied and is read-only. It isn't cached
in the get_hostname_identifier() function as the ENV_GLOBAL $hostname
will cache it for its duration.
The behavior of `gethostname` in case of an insufficient buffer is
library and version dependent. Work around this by using a big enough
buffer then truncating the output to our desired max length.
The 0th index of the array was tested inside the loop instead of just
once outside it.
Also explain `input_mapping_is_match` control code behavior and
reasoning and simplify control flow.
Removed misleading statement about read requiring an argument, as the
note about read's new behavior when no arguments are provided covers
that and is less confusing.
