While supported by gcc and clang, \e is a gcc-specific extension and not
formally defined in the C or C++ standards.
See [0] for a list of valid escapes.

Turns out the segfaults we've been getting in our tests are because we set $TERM to "dumb".
So we only clear the line if the terminal isn't dumb.
This reverts commit 745a88f2f6.
Fixes#2320.
When the pager wants to use the full screen to show many options, it reserves
space at the top to see the command. Previously it pretended the command was a
prompt and engaged the prompt layout mechanism to compute these lines. Instead
let's juts count newlines since escape sequences within commands are very rare.
There were several issues with the way that the include tests for curses.h
were being done that were ultimately causing fish to use the headers from
ncurses but link against curses on platforms that provide an actual
libcurses.so that isn't just a symlink to libncurses.so
In particular, the old code was first testing for curses's cureses.h and then
falling back to libncurses's implementation of the same - but that logic was
reversed when it came to including term.h, in which case it was testing for
the ncurses term.h and falling back to the curses.h header. Long story short,
while cmake will link against libcurses.so if both libcurses.so and
libncurses.so are present (unless CURSES_NEED_NCURSES evaluates to TRUE, but
that makes ncurses a hard requirement), but we were brining in some of the
defines from the ncurses headers, causing SIGSEGV panics when fish ultimately
tried to access variables that weren't exported or were mapped to undefined
areas of memory in the other library.
Additionally it is an error to include termios.h prior to including the plain
Jane curses.h (not ncurses/curses.h), causing errors about unimplemented types
SGTTY/chtype. So far as I can tell, both curses.h and ncurses/curses.h pull in
termios.h themselves so it shouldn't even be necessary to manually include it,
but I have just moved its #include below that of curses.h
The type cached_esc_sequences_t caches escape sequences, and is tasked
with finding an escape sequence that prefixes a given string. Before
this fix, it did so by storing the lengths of cached escape sequences,
and searching for substrings of that length. The new implementation
instead stores all cached escape sequences in a sorted vector, and uses
binary search to find the shortest escape sequence that is a prefix of
the input. This is a substantial simplification that also reduces
allocations.
* Fix clearing abandoned line with VTE
With VTE-based terminals, resizing currently causes multi-line prompts
to go weird.
This changes the sequence we use to clear the line to one suggested by
a VTE
developer (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=763390#c4).
It changes nothing in konsole 17.04.3 and urxvt 9.22, but they already
work.
Note that this does not fix the case where output did not end in a
newline, but that doesn't seem to be up to us. Also, it only affects
those lines.
Fixes#2320.
* Use terminfo definition instead of hardcoding
Thanks to @ixjlyons.
This is the first step to implementing issue #4200 is to stop subclassing
env_var_t from wcstring. Not too surprisingly doing this identified
several places that were incorrectly treating env_var_t and wcstring as
interchangeable types. I'm not talking about those places that passed
an env_var_t instance to a function that takes a wcstring. I'm talking
about doing things like assigning the former to the latter type, relying
on the implicit conversion, and thus losing information.
We also rename `env_get_string()` to `env_get()` for symmetry with
`env_set()` and to make it clear the function does not return a string.
There should be just one place that calls `setupterm()`. While refactoring
the code I also decided to not make initializing the curses subsystem a
fatal error. We now try two fallback terminal names ("ansi" and "dumb")
and if those can't be used we still end up with a usable shell.
Fixes#3850
I recently upgraded the software on my macOS server and was dismayed to
see that cppcheck reported a huge number of format string errors due to
mismatches between the format string and its arguments from calls to
`assert()`. It turns out they are due to the macOS header using `%lu`
for the line number which is obviously wrong since it is using the C
preprocessor `__LINE__` symbol which evaluates to a signed int.
I also noticed that the macOS implementation writes to stdout, rather
than stderr. It also uses `printf()` which can be a problem on some
platforms if the stream is already in wide mode which is the normal case
for fish.
So implement our own `assert()` implementation. This also eliminates
double-negative warnings that we get from some of our calls to
`assert()` on some platforms by oclint.
Also reimplement the `DIE()` macro in terms of our internal
implementation.
Rewrite `assert(0 && msg)` statements to `DIE(msg)` for clarity and to
eliminate oclint warnings about constant expressions.
Fixes#3276, albeit not in the fashion I originally envisioned.
Cache the escape sequences we've seen when checking for those which
don't take any visual space when writing the prompt or similar strings.
This reduces the cost of determining the true cost of such strings by a
full order of magnitude if they include lots of such escape sequences.
Periodically sort the cached escape sequence lengths based on feedback
from cache hits so that we're always checking for the most likely
sequence lengths first.
Also cache the prompt layouts to avoid doing the calculations if the
prompt doesn't change.
Fixes#3793
We should never use stdio functions that use stdout implicitly. Saving a
few characters isn't worth the inconsistency. Too, using the forms such
as `fwprintf()` which take an explicit stream makes it easier to find
the places we write to stdout versus stderr.
Fixes#3728
On some platforms, notably GNU libc, you cannot mix narrow and wide
stdio functions on a stream like stdout or stderr. Doing so will drop
the output of one or the other. This change makes all output to the
stderr stream consistently use the wide forms.
This change also converts some fprintf(stderr,...) calls to debug()
calls where appropriate.
Fixes#3692
Using `\e` is clearer and shorter than `\x1b`. It's also consistent with how
we write related control chars; e.g., we don't write `\x0a` we write '\n'.
Update our implementation of the PROMPT_SP heuristic to match current
zsh behavior. This makes it behave better on terminals like ConEmu and
the native MS Windows console which automatically insert a newline when
writing to the last column of the line.
Fixes#789
This fixes some of the IWYU and cppcheck lint warnings. And only on
macOS (formerly OS X). Fixing these types of warnings on a broader set
of platforms should be done but this is a baby step to making `make
lint-all` have few, if any, warnings. This reduces the number of lines
in the `make lint-all` output on macOS by over 500 lines.
Taking a different approach here. I can't see why we'd only want to
recognize certain colors. Now, we'll just try all the colors fish might
use.
This could probably be optimized now that there are more
than 8 (or 16) colors fish can do.
It's the ninth color - on virtual consoles this was likely to
try a color that doesn't work because we checked if max_colors >= 8.
Add another way to reach that color on terminals with only 8 colors
by using bold mode to get a bright.
This has potential to fail by simply rendering as black which can cause
it to be invisible on a white-on-black terminal. Not bad as it's just
making this bell/whistle invisible:
We *really* want to set the omitted newline character apart by having
it appear grey. On (FreeBSD consoles, at least) VCs it's not uncommon
for it to render as a "?". It's particularly confusing if it doesn't
render in a darker color as it cannot be discerned from actual program
output.
Adds a color reset thing, to ensure fish tries to use hard colors during
testing.
Also, work on a discrepancy (not introduced by my changes, afaik) when
with some combinations of color settings, and usage of --bold, caused super
flakey color paninting in the pager. Downwards movements that trigger
scrolling vs. upwards movement in the pager would only apply bold to
selections when moving upwards. The bold state of the command completions in
the pager was flipping flops on and off, depending on if there is a description
on the preceding line.
Implement a lame fix by reseting the color to normal and applying a
different style on the rightmost ')' which seems to be what was influencing it.
Makes fish use terminfo for coloring the newline glich char.
The tty device timestamps on MS Windows aren't usable because they're always
the current time. So fish can't use them to decide if the entire prompt needs
to be repainted.
Fixes#2859
