| * Remove maxmem and maxmemtot optionsFelipe Oliveira Carvalho2017-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | > The option 'maxmem' ('mm') is used to set the maximum memory used for one > buffer (in kilobytes). 'maxmemtot' is used to set the maximum memory used for > all buffers (in kilobytes). The defaults depend on the system used. These > are not hard limits, but tell Vim when to move text into a swap file. If you > don't like Vim to swap to a file, set 'maxmem' and 'maxmemtot' to a very large > value. The swap file will then only be used for recovery. If you don't want > a swap file at all, set 'updatecount' to 0, or use the "-n" argument when > starting Vim. On today's systems these values are huge (4GB in my machine with 8GB of RAM since it's set as half the available memory by default) so the limits are never reached in practice, but Vim wastes a lot of time checking if the limit was reached. If the limit is reached Vim starts saving pieces of the swap file that were in memory to the disk. Said in a different way: Vim implements its own memory swapping mechanism. This is unnecessary and inefficient since the operating system already virtualized the memory and will swap to the disk if programs start using too much memory. This change does... 1. Reduce the number of config options and need for documentation. 2. Make the code more efficient as we don't have to keep track of memory usage nor check if the memory limits were reached to start swapping to disk every time we need memory for buffers. 3. Simplify the code. Once `memfile.c` is simple enough it could be replaced by actual operating system memory mapping (`mmap`, `MemoryViewOfFile`...). This change does not prevent Vim to recover changes from swap files since the swapping code is never triggered with the huge limits set by default.

| | | | | | | The relevant code was never actually in Neovim, most likely due to being unifdef(1)'d out during the initial import. see `:h hidden-options'

| | | | | | | | Presumably due to tarruda's unifdefing, it was already a no-op at the time of nvim's first commit. It's probably better to be clear that it doesn't exist, as opposed to users thinking `:set guipty` is doing something when it isn't.

* Interface cleanup: Symlink handling & docsMichael Reed2015-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes the ability to start nvim via the following aliases in favor of just using their command line arguments: ex vim -e exim vim -E view vim -R gvim vim -g gex vim -eg gview vim -Rg rvim vim -Z rview vim -RZ rgvim vim -gZ rgview vim -RgZ This also removes Vi mode (-v) for consistency. From ':help -v': -v Start Ex in Vi mode. Only makes a difference when the executable is called "ex" or "gvim". For gvim the GUI is not started if possible.
