The user-friendly command line shell.

I needed to rename some types already ported to rust so they don't clash with their still-extant cpp counterparts. Helper ffi functions added to avoid needing to dynamically allocate an FdMonitorItem for every fd (we use dozens per basic prompt). I ported some functions from cpp to rust that are used only in the backend but without removing their existing cpp counterparts so cpp code can continue to use their version of them (`wperror` and `make_detached_pthread`). I ran into issues porting line-by-line logic because rust inverts the behavior of `std::remove_if(..)` by making it (basically) `Vec::retain_if(..)` so I replaced bools with an explict enum to make everything clearer. I'll port the cpp tests for this separately, for now they're using ffi. Porting closures was ugly. It's nothing hard, but it's very ugly as now each capturing lambda has been changed into an explicit struct that contains its parameters (that needs to be dynamically allocated), a standalone callback (member) function to replace the lambda contents, and a separate trampoline function to call it from rust over the shared C abi (not really relevant to x86_64 w/ its single calling convention but probably needed on other platforms). I don't like that `fd_monitor.rs` has its own `c_void`. I couldn't find a way to move that to `ffi.rs` but still get cxx bridge to consider it a shared POD. Every time I moved it to a different module, it would consider it to be an opaque rust type instead. I worry this means we're going to have multiple `c_void1`, `c_void2`, etc. types as we continue to port code to use function pointers. Also, rust treats raw pointers as foreign so you can't do `impl Send for * const Foo` even if `Foo` is from the same module. That necessitated a wrapper type (`void_ptr`) that implements `Send` and `Sync` so we can move stuff between threads. The code in fd_monitor_t has been split into two objects, one that is used by the caller and a separate one associated with the background thread (this is made nice and clean by rust's ownership model). Objects not needed under the lock (i.e. accessed by the background thread exclusively) were moved to the separate `BackgroundFdMonitor` type. |

`fish <https://fishshell.com/>`__ - the friendly interactive shell |Build Status| |Cirrus CI|
=================================================================================
fish is a smart and user-friendly command line shell for macOS, Linux,
and the rest of the family. fish includes features like syntax
highlighting, autosuggest-as-you-type, and fancy tab completions that
just work, with no configuration required.
For downloads, screenshots and more, go to https://fishshell.com/.
Quick Start
-----------
fish generally works like other shells, like bash or zsh. A few
important differences can be found at
https://fishshell.com/docs/current/tutorial.html by searching for the
magic phrase “unlike other shells”.
Detailed user documentation is available by running ``help`` within
fish, and also at https://fishshell.com/docs/current/index.html
Getting fish
------------
macOS
~~~~~
fish can be installed:
- using `Homebrew <http://brew.sh/>`__: ``brew install fish``
- using `MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/>`__:
``sudo port install fish``
- using the `installer from fishshell.com <https://fishshell.com/>`__
- as a `standalone app from fishshell.com <https://fishshell.com/>`__
Note: The minimum supported macOS version is 10.10 "Yosemite".
Packages for Linux
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Packages for Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, and Red Hat Enterprise
Linux/CentOS are available from the `openSUSE Build
Service <https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=shells%3Afish&package=fish>`__.
Packages for Ubuntu are available from the `fish
PPA <https://launchpad.net/~fish-shell/+archive/ubuntu/release-3>`__,
and can be installed using the following commands:
::
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:fish-shell/release-3
sudo apt update
sudo apt install fish
Instructions for other distributions may be found at
`fishshell.com <https://fishshell.com>`__.
Windows
~~~~~~~
- On Windows 10, fish can be installed under the WSL Windows Subsystem
for Linux with the instructions for the appropriate distribution
listed above under “Packages for Linux”, or from source with the
instructions below.
- Fish can also be installed on all versions of Windows using
`Cygwin <https://cygwin.com/>`__ (from the **Shells** category).
Building from source
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If packages are not available for your platform, GPG-signed tarballs are
available from `fishshell.com <https://fishshell.com/>`__ and
`fish-shell on
GitHub <https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/releases>`__. See the
`Building <#building>`__ section for instructions.
Running fish
------------
Once installed, run ``fish`` from your current shell to try fish out!
Dependencies
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Running fish requires:
- curses or ncurses (preinstalled on most \*nix systems)
- some common \*nix system utilities (currently ``mktemp``), in
addition to the basic POSIX utilities (``cat``, ``cut``, ``dirname``,
``ls``, ``mkdir``, ``mkfifo``, ``rm``, ``sort``, ``tee``, ``tr``,
``uname`` and ``sed`` at least, but the full coreutils plus ``find`` and
``awk`` is preferred)
- The gettext library, if compiled with
translation support
The following optional features also have specific requirements:
- builtin commands that have the ``--help`` option or print usage
messages require ``nroff`` or ``mandoc`` for
display
- automated completion generation from manual pages requires Python 3.5+
- the ``fish_config`` web configuration tool requires Python 3.5+ and a web browser
- system clipboard integration (with the default Ctrl-V and Ctrl-X
bindings) require either the ``xsel``, ``xclip``,
``wl-copy``/``wl-paste`` or ``pbcopy``/``pbpaste`` utilities
- full completions for ``yarn`` and ``npm`` require the
``all-the-package-names`` NPM module
- ``colorls`` is used, if installed, to add color when running ``ls`` on platforms
that do not have color support (such as OpenBSD)
Switching to fish
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you wish to use fish as your default shell, use the following
command:
::
chsh -s /usr/local/bin/fish
``chsh`` will prompt you for your password and change your default
shell. (Substitute ``/usr/local/bin/fish`` with whatever path fish was
installed to, if it differs.) Log out, then log in again for the changes
to take effect.
Use the following command if fish isn’t already added to ``/etc/shells``
to permit fish to be your login shell:
::
echo /usr/local/bin/fish | sudo tee -a /etc/shells
To switch your default shell back, you can run ``chsh -s /bin/bash``
(substituting ``/bin/bash`` with ``/bin/tcsh`` or ``/bin/zsh`` as
appropriate).
Building
--------
.. _dependencies-1:
Dependencies
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Compiling fish requires:
- Rust (version 1.67 or later)
- a C++11 compiler (g++ 4.8 or later, or clang 3.3 or later)
- CMake (version 3.5 or later)
- a curses implementation such as ncurses (headers and libraries)
- PCRE2 (headers and libraries) - optional, this will be downloaded if missing
- gettext (headers and libraries) - optional, for translation support
Sphinx is also optionally required to build the documentation from a
cloned git repository.
Additionally, running the test suite requires Python 3.5+ and the pexpect package.
Building from source (all platforms) - Makefile generator
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To install into ``/usr/local``, run:
.. code:: bash
mkdir build; cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
The install directory can be changed using the
``-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`` parameter for ``cmake``.
Building from source (macOS) - Xcode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: The minimum supported macOS version is 10.10 "Yosemite".
.. code:: bash
mkdir build; cd build
cmake .. -G Xcode
An Xcode project will now be available in the ``build`` subdirectory.
You can open it with Xcode, or run the following to build and install in
``/usr/local``:
.. code:: bash
xcodebuild
xcodebuild -scheme install
The install directory can be changed using the
``-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`` parameter for ``cmake``.
Build options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition to the normal cmake build options (like ``CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX``), fish has some other options available to customize it.
- BUILD_DOCS=ON|OFF - whether to build the documentation. This is automatically set to OFF when sphinx isn't installed.
- INSTALL_DOCS=ON|OFF - whether to install the docs. This is automatically set to on when BUILD_DOCS is or prebuilt documentation is available (like when building in-tree from a tarball).
- FISH_USE_SYSTEM_PCRE2=ON|OFF - whether to use an installed pcre2. This is normally autodetected.
- MAC_CODESIGN_ID=String|OFF - the codesign ID to use on Mac, or "OFF" to disable codesigning.
- WITH_GETTEXT=ON|OFF - whether to build with gettext support for translations.
Note that fish does *not* support static linking and will attempt to error out if it detects it.
Help, it didn’t build!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If fish reports that it could not find curses, try installing a curses
development package and build again.
On Debian or Ubuntu you want:
::
sudo apt install build-essential cmake ncurses-dev libncurses5-dev libpcre2-dev gettext
On RedHat, CentOS, or Amazon EC2:
::
sudo yum install ncurses-devel
