rneovim.git/runtime/embedded_data.zig, branch master Neovim fork with Rahm's personal hacks. build: ship "_core/*" as bytecode (built-into Nvim binary) 2025-12-30T06:44:24+00:00 Justin M. Keyes justinkz@gmail.com 2025-08-29T03:43:10+00:00 20e77c5d886af54d1f7b6844cffc11129f579ad9 Problem: We want to encourage implementing core features in Lua instead of C, but it's clumsy because: - Core Lua code (built into `nvim` so it is available even if VIMRUNTIME is missing/invalid) requires manually updating CMakeLists.txt, or stuffing it into `_editor.lua`. - Core Lua modules are not organized similar to C modules, `_editor.lua` is getting too big. Solution: - Introduce `_core/` where core Lua code can live. All Lua modules added there will automatically be included as bytecode in the `nvim` binary. - Move these core modules into `_core/*`: ``` _defaults.lua _editor.lua _options.lua _system.lua shared.lua ``` TODO: - Move `_extui/ => _core/ui2/` 
Problem:
We want to encourage implementing core features in Lua instead of C, but
it's clumsy because:
- Core Lua code (built into `nvim` so it is available even if VIMRUNTIME
  is missing/invalid) requires manually updating CMakeLists.txt, or
  stuffing it into `_editor.lua`.
- Core Lua modules are not organized similar to C modules, `_editor.lua`
  is getting too big.

Solution:
- Introduce `_core/` where core Lua code can live. All Lua modules added
  there will automatically be included as bytecode in the `nvim` binary.
- Move these core modules into `_core/*`:
  ```
  _defaults.lua
  _editor.lua
  _options.lua
  _system.lua
  shared.lua
  ```

- Move `_extui/ => _core/ui2/`
feat(build): build.zig MVP: build and run functionaltests on linux 2025-05-02T07:28:50+00:00 bfredl bjorn.linse@gmail.com 2025-03-11T13:01:55+00:00 1f004970f00bd8ef7ad955b52857df136f82185b NEW BUILD SYSTEM! This is a MVP implementation which supports building the "nvim" binary, including cross-compilation for some targets.

NEW BUILD SYSTEM!

This is a MVP implementation which supports building the "nvim" binary,
including cross-compilation for some targets.
As an example, you can build a aarch64-macos binary from
an x86-64-linux-gnu host, or vice versa

Add CI target for build.zig currently for functionaltests on linux
x86_64 only

Follow up items:

-  praxis for version and dependency bumping
-  windows 💀
-  full integration of libintl and gettext (or a desicion not to)
-  update help and API metadata files
-  installation into a $PREFIX
-  more tests and linters
