* tui: Hint wrapped lines to terminals.Ricky Zhou2018-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, when neovim would wrap a line across multiple lines, terminal emulators could not detect that the lines represent a single wrapped line as opposed to several separate lines. As a result, many terminals' selection/copying functionality would treat a wrapped line as several newline-delimited lines. Fix this by reenabling a "special trick" from Vim. When a line is wrapped, write the last character of that line followed by the first character of the next line to the terminal. This hints to the terminal that the next line is a continuation of the current line. Extends the raw_line event with a "wrap" parameter which controls when to do wrap hinting.
* ui: use line-based rather than char-based updates in screen.cBjörn Linse2018-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add ext_newgrid and ext_hlstate extensions. These use predefined highlights and line-segment based updates, for efficiency and simplicity.. The ext_hlstate extension in addition allows semantic identification of builtin and syntax highlights. Reimplement the old char-based updates in the remote UI layer, for compatibility. For the moment, this is still the default. The bulitin TUI uses the new line-based protocol. cmdline uses curwin cursor position when ext_cmdline is active.

* | job-control: children_kill_cb(): do not check elapsed timeJustin M. Keyes2018-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. Don't check elapsed time in children_kill_cb(), it's already implied by the start-time of the timer itself. 2. Restart timer from children_kill_cb() for PTY jobs, to send SIGKILL after SIGTERM. There is an edge case where SIGKILL might follow SIGTERM too quickly, if jobstop() is called near the 2-second timer window. But this edge case is not worth code complication.
* | job-control: one-shot timer instead of repeatingJustin M. Keyes2018-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before f31c26f1afb5 the timer was used to try SIGTERM *and* SIGKILL, so a repeating timer was needed. After f31c26f1afb5 process_stop() sends SIGTERM immediately, and the timer only sends SIGKILL. So we don't need a repeating timer. - Simplifies the logic: don't need to call uv_timer_stop() explicitly. - Avoids a problem: if process_stop() is called more than once in the 2-second window, the first on_process_exit() would call uv_timer_stop() which stops the timer for all stopped processes.
* | job-control: mitigate process-kill raceJustin M. Keyes2018-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | children_kill_cb() is racey. One obvious problem is that process_close_handles() is *queued* by on_process_exit(), so when children_kill_cb() is invoked, the dead process might still be in the `loop->children` list. If the OS already reclaimed the dead PID, Nvim may try to SIGKILL it. Avoid that by checking `proc->status`. Vim doesn't have this problem because it doesn't attempt to kill processes that ignored SIGTERM after a timeout. closes #8269
* | loop: remove `children_stop_requests`Justin M. Keyes2018-04-15
|/ | | | | It serves no purpose because process_stop() is already guarded by `proc->stopped_time`.

* jobs: child proc must have a separate process-groupJustin M. Keyes2018-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | UV_PROCESS_DETACHED compels libuv:uv__process_child_init() to call setsid() in the child just after fork(). That ensures the process and its descendants are grouped in a separate session (and process group). The following jobstart() call correctly groups `sh` and `sleep` in a new session (and process-group), where `sh` is the "session leader" (and process-group leader): :call jobstart(['sh','-c','sleep 60']) SESN PGRP PID PPID Command 30383 30383 30383 3620 │ ├─ -bash 30383 31432 31432 30383 │ │ └─ nvim -u NORC 30383 31432 31433 30383 │ │ ├─ nvim -u NORC 8105 8105 8105 31432 │ │ └─ sh -c sleep 60 8105 8105 8106 8105 │ │ └─ sleep 60 closes #6530 ref: https://stackoverflow.com/q/1046933 ref: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/404065 Helped-by: Marco Hinz <mh.codebro+github@gmail.com> Discussion ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On my linux box before this patch, the termclose_spec.lua:'kills job trapping SIGTERM' test indirectly causes cmake/busted to wait for 60s. That's because the test spawns a `sleep 60` descendant process which hangs around even after nvim exits: nvim killed the parent PID, but not PGID (process-group), so the grandchild "reparented" to init (PID 1). Session contains processes (and process-groups) which are logically part of the same "login session". Process-group is a set of logically/informally-related processes within a session; for example, shells assign a process group to each "job". Session IDs and PGIDs both have type pid_t (like PIDs). These OS-level mechanisms are, as usual, legacy accidents whose purpose is upheld by convention and folklore. We can use session-level grouping (setsid), or we could use process-group-level grouping (setpgid). Vim uses setsid() if available, otherwise setpgid(0,0). Windows ------------------------------------------------------------------------ UV_PROCESS_DETACHED on win32 sets CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP flag. But uv_kill() does not kill the process-group: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3617 Ideas: - Set UV_PROCESS_DETACHED (CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP), then call GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent(CTRL_BREAK_EVENT, pid) - Maybe won't work because MSDN says "Only processes that share the same console as the calling process receive the signal." https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/generateconsolectrlevent But CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP creates a new console ... ref https://stackoverflow.com/q/1453520 - Group processes within a "job". libuv does that *globally* for non-detached processes: uv__init_global_job_handle. - Iterate through CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(). - https://stackoverflow.com/q/1173342 - Vim does this, see terminate_all()

* tui: fix use-after-free after UI `stop` event #7922Justin M. Keyes2018-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ui_bridge:ui_bridge_stop() calls ui_detach_impl() last, so the check for ui_active() in ui:ui_refresh() doesn't help: tui_main() already freed the `ui` object. There is a race between ui_bridge_stop (thread T0) and tui_main (thread T1). UIBridgeData.stopped could be set while ui_bridge_stop() is in the middle of loop_poll_events(), which may invoke tui_scheduler() on T0. The pointers in tui_scheduler() may be invalid by then. Solution(?): Use the `UI.data` field as a "stopped" flag and check it in tui_scheduler().

Keyes <justinkz@gmail.com> Date: Sat Jan 27 15:12:58 2018 +0100 tui: fix use-after-free: swap in empty scheduler This should make life easier for UIs like VimR which implement their own in-process bridged UI: they don't need to worry that their `scheduler` might receive an invalid pointer. To avoid that, ui_bridge_stopped() swaps in an empty scheduler.

* tui: rework deferred-termcodes ... againJustin M. Keyes2017-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Revert timer-based approach. - Instead, call loop_poll_events() with a timeout in an "active" loop, to infer that "TUI startup activity has mostly finished", but also to enforce a mininum time (100 ms) before emitting "enable focus reporting" termcode. (If TUI startup takes longer than that minimum time, it's probably a slow environment anyways.) - Tickle `main_loop` by sending a dummy event. Without this, the initial "focus-gained" response from the terminal may not get processed until the user hits a key. ref #7720 ref #7664 ref #7649 ref #7664 ref 27f9b1c7b029d8

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ref #7649 ref #7664 27f9b1c7b029d8 caused a regression: it uses loop_schedule_deferred() to defer emitting the "enable focus reporting" termcode. tui_main() never processes `tui_loop.events` (which loop_schedule_deferred() depends on), so the event was never actually processed. But fixing that (by processing `tui_loop.events`) would bring back the problem 27f9b1c7b029 tried to fix: it still emits the event too soon. Instead, do a little dance: schedule the event on `main_loop` and then forward it to `tui_loop`. NOTE: after this commit, in tmux 2.3 with `focus-events` enabled, FocusGained is fired on startup and when resuming from suspend.

* Server: Call uv_getaddrinfo with NULL service when no portJames McCoy2017-05-27
| | | | | | | | | | When using serverstart("ip.ad.d.r:") to listen on a random port, we need to abide by getaddrinfo()'s API and pass in a NULL service, rather than an empty string. When given an empty string, getaddrinfo() is free to search for a service by the given name (since the string isn't a number) which will fail. At least FreeBSD does perform this lookup.

* Server: use uv_getaddrinfo() for $NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESSMarco Hinz2017-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change implicitly adds IPv6 support. If the address contains ":", we try to use a TCP socket instead of a Unix domain socket. Everything in front of the last occurrence of ":" is the hostname and everything after it the port. If the hostname lookup fails, we fall back to using a Unix domain socket. If the port is empty ("localhost:"), a random port will be assigned. Examples: NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS=localhost:12345 -> TCP (IPv4 or IPv6), port: 12345 NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS=localhost: -> TCP (IPv4 or IPv6), port: random (> 1024) NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS=localhost:0 -> TCP (IPv4 or IPv6), port: random (> 1024) NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS=localhost -> Unix domain socket "localhost" in current dir

* Revert "event/process.c: send SIGTERM directly (#6644)"Justin M. Keyes2017-05-08
| | | | This reverts commit 34c3f03013375817d3d089e685793290eded553a.
* event/process.c: send SIGTERM directly (#6644)Daniel Hahler2017-05-04
| | | | | | | Send SIGTERM to processes directly, instead of waiting for ~1s. - removes TERM_TIMEOUT - changes KILL_TIMEOUT to milliseconds - removes Process.term_sent
* event: Remove "priority" concept.Justin M. Keyes2017-04-28
| | | | It was replaced by the "child queue" concept (MultiQueue).
* api/nvim_get_mode: Use child-queue instead of "priority".Justin M. Keyes2017-04-28

* input.c: Process only safe events before blocking.Justin M. Keyes2017-04-28
| | | | | Introduce multiqueue_process_priority() to process only events at or above a certain priority.
* api: nvim_get_mode()Justin M. Keyes2017-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Asynchronous API functions are served immediately, which means pending input could change the state of Nvim shortly after an async API function result is returned. nvim_get_mode() is different: - If RPCs are known to be blocked, it responds immediately (without flushing the input/event queue) - else it is handled just-in-time before waiting for input, after pending input was processed. This makes the result more reliable (but not perfect). Internally this is handled as a special case, but _semantically_ nothing has changed: API users never know when input flushes, so this internal special-case doesn't violate that. As far as API users are concerned, nvim_get_mode() is just another asynchronous API function. In all cases nvim_get_mode() never blocks for more than the time it takes to flush the input/event queue (~µs). Note: This doesn't address #6166; nvim_get_mode() will provoke #6166 if e.g. `d` is operator-pending. Closes #6159
