rneovim.git/runtime/lua/vim/_core/log.lua, branch master Neovim fork with Rahm's personal hacks. feat(startup): warn if NVIM_LOG_FILE is inaccessible #38070 2026-03-12T08:40:07+00:00 anondeveg anondeveg@gmail.com 2026-03-12T08:40:07+00:00 32aee065a898aa125e5ae87dcce513606112398d Problem: If NVIM_LOG_FILE, or the default fallback, is inaccessible (e.g. directory is owned by root), users get confused. Solution: Show a warning when $NVIM_LOG_FILE or $XDG_STATE_HOME are inaccessible. Also fix a latent memory leak: `os_mkdir_recurse` returns a uv error code (int), but it was stored as `bool`, causing `os_strerror` to receive an invalid error code and leak memory.

Problem:
If NVIM_LOG_FILE, or the default fallback, is inaccessible (e.g.
directory is owned by root), users get confused.

Solution:
Show a warning when $NVIM_LOG_FILE or $XDG_STATE_HOME are inaccessible.

Also fix a latent memory leak: `os_mkdir_recurse` returns a uv error
code (int), but it was stored as `bool`, causing `os_strerror` to
receive an invalid error code and leak memory.
