This turns a bunch of ifs on their heads.
We often see this pattern in te:
```c
if (s->type != SOME_TYPE) {
// error handling
} else {
// normal code
}
```
Only, since we want to return the first error, we do
```c
if (s->type == SOME_TYPE) {
// normal code
} else if (s->type != TOK_ERROR) {
// Add a new error - if it already has type error
// this should already be handled.
}
```
One big issue is the comma operator, that means arity-1 functions can
take an arbitrary number of arguments. E.g.
```fish
math "sin(5,9)"
```
will return the value of sin for _9_, since this is read as "5 COMMA
9".
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
Previously, in
ls ^a bcd
(with "^" as the cursor), kill-word would delete the "a" and then go
on, remove the space and the "bcd".
With this, it will only kill the "a".
Fixes#4747.
This is part of an effort to improve fish's Unicode handling. This commit
attempts to grapple with the fact that, certain characters (principally
emoji) were considered to have a wcwidth of 1 in Unicode 8, but a width of
2 in Unicode 9.
The system wcwidth() here cannot be trusted; terminal emulators do not
respect it. iTerm2 even allows this to be set in preferences.
This commit introduces a new function is_width_2_in_Uni9_but_1_in_Uni8() to
detect characters of version-ambiguous width. For these characters, it
returns a width guessed based on the value of TERM_PROGRAM and
TERM_VERSION, defaulting to 1. This value can be overridden by setting the
value of a new variable fish_emoji_width (presumably either to 1 or 2).
Fixes#4539, #2652.
`argparse`, `read`, `set`, `status`, `test` and `[` now can't be used
as function names anymore.
This is because (except for `test` and `[`) there is no way to wrap these properly, so any
function called that will be broken anyway.
For `test` (and `[`), there is nothing that can be added and there
have been confused users who created a function that then broke
everything.
Fixes#3000.
Prior to this fix, each redirection type was a separate token_type.
Unify these under a single type TOK_REDIRECT and break the redirection
type out into a new sub-type redirection_type_t.
Prior to this the tokenizer ran "one ahead", where tokenizer_t::next()
would in fact return the last-parsed token. Switch to parsing on demand
instead of running one ahead; this is simpler and prepares for tokenizer
changes.
Turns out the process-exit is only ever used in conjunction with
`%self`. Make that explicit by just adding a new "fish_exit" event,
and deprecate the general process-exit machinery.
Fixes#4700.
The previous attempt to support newlines after pipes changed the lexer to
swallow newlines after encountering a pipe. This has two problems that are
difficult to fix:
1. comments cannot be placed after the pipe
2. fish_indent won't know about the newlines, so it will erase them
Address these problems by removing the lexer behavior, and replacing it
with a new parser symbol "optional_newlines" allowing the newlines to be
reflected directly in the fish grammar.
Prior to this fix, if you attempt to complete from inside a quote and the
completion contained an entity that cannot be represented inside quotes
(i.e. \n \r \t \b), the result would be a broken mess of quotes. Rewrite
the implementation so that it exits the quotes, emits the correct unquoted
escape, and then re-enters the quotes.
Properly escape literal tildes in tab completion results. Currently we
always escape tildes in unquoted arguments; in the future we may escape
only leading tildes.
Fixes#2274
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.
The job control functions were a bit messy, in particular
`set_child_group`'s name would imply that all it does is set the child
group, but in reality it used to set the child group (via `setpgid`),
set the job's pgrp if it hasn't been set, and possibly assign control of
the terminal to the newly-created job.
These have been split into separate functions. Now `set_child_group`
does just (and only) that, `maybe_assign_terminal` might assign the
terminal to the new pgrp, and `on_process_created` is used to set the
job properties the first time an external process is created. This might
also speed things up (but probably not noticeably) as there are no more
repeated calls to `getpgrp()` if JOB_CONTROL is not set.
Additionally, this closes#4715 by no longer unconditionally calling
`setpgid` on all new processes, including those created by `posix_spawn`
which does not need this since the child's pgrep is set at in the
arguments to that API call.
