Unlike other builtins, "{" is a separate token, not a keyword-string
token.
Allow the left brace token as command string; produce it when parsing
"{ -h"/"{ --help" (and nowhere else). By using a decorated statement,
we reuse logic for redirections etc.
Other syntax elements like "and" are in the builtin list, which
- adds highlighting logic
- adds it to "builtin --names"
- makes it runnable as builtin
(e.g. "builtin '{'" would hypothetically print the man page)
These don't seem very important (highlighting for '{' needs to match
'}' anyway).
Additionally, making it a real builtin would mean that we'd need to
deactivate a few places that unescape "{" to BRACE_BEGIN.
Let's not add it to the built in list. Instead, simply synthesize
builtin_generic in the right spot.
I'm assuming we want "{ -h" to print help, but '"{" -h' to run an
external command, since the latter is historical behavior. This works
naturally with the above fake builtin approach which never tries to
unescape the left brace.
Commit 798527d79a (completions: fix double evaluation of tokenized
commandline, 2024-01-06) fixed some completions such as the "watchexec"
ones by adding "string escape" here:
set argv (commandline -opc | string escape) (commandline -ct)
This fixed double evaluation when we later call `complete -C"$argv"`.
Unfortunately -- searching for "complete -C" and
"__fish_complete_subcommand" -- it seems like that commit missed some
completions such as sudo. Fix them the same way.
Alternatively, we could defer expansion of those arguments (via
--tokens-raw), since the recursive call to completion will expand
them anyway, and we don't really need to know their value.
But there are (contrived) examples where we do want to expand first,
to correctly figure out where the subcommand starts:
sudo {-u,someuser} make ins
By definition, the tokens returned by `commandline -opc` do not
contain the token at cursor (which we're currently completing).
So the expansion should not hurt us. There is an edge case where
cartesian product expansion would produce too many results, and we
pass on the unexpanded input. In that case the extra escaping is very
unlikely to have negative effects.

If a child program crashes with some text rendered below the cursor,
we fail to clear that text. For example run vim, "pkill -9 vim" and
observe that scrollback-push fails to clean up the leftover text.
Fix that.
Custom formats for --pretty/--format option can only be written in [pretty]
section, thus only this section is searched.

libc::getpid and getpgrp *cannot fail*, so an unsafe declaration here
is just noise.
I mean sure, if your libc is broken and these fail, but at that point
I'm comfortable declaring your computer a platypus that we do not need
to support.
Wgetopt needs a ":" at the beginning to turn on this type of error.
I'm not sure why that is now, and we might want to change it (but tbh
wgetopt could do with a replacement anyway).

Sorry, commit 51adba6ee0 (Restore autosuggestion after corrected
typo, 2025-01-10) was pushed too early. One issue is that it saves
autosuggestions also when we edit in the middle, where we can't
restore it. We'd still restore it in some cases, even though it
doesn't apply. This breaks invariants that may cause various problems
when interacting with the autosuggestion.
Fix it by only saving the autosuggestion when we will be able to
restore it correctly.
We capture the process already, and we use argv by reference for the
other cases.
argv can be big, and this reduces allocations and thereby memory usage
and speed.
E.g. `set -l foo **` with 200k matches has 25% reduced memory usage
and ~5% reduced runtime.
For compound commands we already have begin/end but
> it is long, which it is not convenient for the command line
> it is different than {} which shell users have been using for >50 years
The difference from {} can break muscle memory and add extra steps
when I'm trying to write simple commands that work in any shell.
Fix that by embracing the traditional style too.
---
Since { and } have always been special syntax in fish, we can also
allow
{ }
{ echo }
which I find intuitive even without having used a shell that supports
this (like zsh. The downside is that this doesn't work in some other
shells. The upside is in aesthetics and convenience (this is for
interactive use). Not completely sure about this.

This implementation adds a hack to the tokenizer: '{' is usually a
brace expansion. Make it compound command when in command position
(not something the tokenizer would normally know). We need to disable
this when parsing a freestanding argument lists (in "complete somecmd
-a "{true,false}"). It's not really clear what "read -t" should do.
For now, keep the existing behavior (don't parse compound statements).
Add another hack to increase backwards compatibility: parse something
like "{ foo }" as brace statement only if it has a space after
the opening brace. This style is less likely to be used for brace
expansion. Perhaps we can change this in future (I'll make a PR).
Use separate terminal token types for braces; we could make the
left brace an ordinary string token but since string tokens undergo
unescaping during expansion etc., every such place would need to know
whether it's dealing with a command or an argument. Certainly possible
but it seems simpler (especially for tab-completions) to strip braces
in the parser. We could change this.
---
In future we could allow the following alternative syntax (which is
invalid today).
if true {
}
if true; {
}

Commit bdfbdaafcc (Forbid subcommand keywords in variables-as-commands
(#10249), 2024-02-06) banned "set x command; $x foo" because the
parser will not recognize "$x" as decorator.
That means that we would execute only the builtin stub,
which usually exist only for the --help argument.
This scenario does not apply for keywords that are quoted or contain
line continuations. We should not treat «"command"» differently
from «command». Fix this inconsistency to reduce confusion.
UnLike other aliases (":.["), ! is special in the grammar but in the
few cases like "! -h" where we parse it as decorated statement they
are equals. Add it to the built in list, so the help argument works.
It can still be overridden, so this should not break anything.
Other sigil-aliases ('[' and '_') are reserved words that cannot be
redefined as function. Only '!' is not.
Whereas several users define "function !!", I
found only one public occurrence of "function !":
5c7f87ed07/fish/functions/!.fish
Note that "function !" only works if invoked as "!", "! -h" or
"! --help" or "foo | !". In most other cases we parse it as negation.
We should probably make it a reserved word to reduce confusion.
If we do that, we should also add it to __fish_print_help, to make
"! -h" work.
For now let's rearrange the code so we can recognize "!" as
super-command. This fixes completion-based autosuggestions on "! ".
The commandline "and fis" rightly gets command autosuggestions whereas
"'and' fis" wrongly gets file autosuggestions. The former works via
a hack. Extend it to quoted keywords.
This file has bitrotted; for example commit bc66921ac9 (Optimize
keyword detection, 2019-04-03) removed use of SKIP_KEYWORDS but
confusingly it's still around (even after 0118eafee1 (Remove unused
functions, members (and a variable), 2022-04-09).
Also some keywords appear in multiple lists; the separate lists are
not really used today; there is a comment stating they may be useful
in future.
It would be great to add an optimization back but either way we should
present the set of reserved words in source code as a contiguous list,
to make it easy for humans to see all relevant information.
StatementVariant needs an indirection because for example NotStatement
may contain another whole statement (error[E0072]: recursive type
has infinite size).
This is dealt with by putting each StatementVariant in a Box.
This Box was also used by the AST walk implementation to implement
tagged dispatched for all variant AST nodes (see "visit_union_field").
Because of this, all other variant AST are boxed the same way, even
though they may not by cyclic themselves.
Reduce confusion by boxing only around the nodes that are actually
recursive types, and use a different tag for static dispatch.
This means that simple nodes like most normal commands and arguments
need one fewer allocation.
