* refactor(exmode): Ex-mode as cmdwin + Lua #40991Justin M. Keyes2026-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: POSIX-compatible Ex-mode requires special-cases all over the codebase to match various quirks that don't actually matter to users. - The main utility of *interactive* Ex-mode is its REPL behavior, and that can be achieved with `cmdwin`, which also gains extra UX benefits. - The main utility of *non-interactive* `nvim -es` is for shell scripting, where Ex-mode quirks are mostly unhelpful (e.g. the "Entering Ex mode" message). Solution: - Reimplement *interactive* Ex-mode as a "persistent, insert-mode cmdwin" in Lua. - "nvim -e/-E" is simply an alias to "gQ". - Reframe *non-interactive* Ex-mode (`nvim -es`) as "script mode". - Drop POSIX Ex-mode quirks. Improvements: - "nvim -V1 -es" output ends with a final newline! - "nvim -V1 -es" no longer shows the "Entering Ex mode" msg. (This was pointless noise, unwanted for scripting purposes.) - stdin is no longer typeahead. Scripts (":lua io.read()") can read stdin as data. - Empty line is a no-op: a stray blank line no longer moves the cursor (deviates from POSIX ex "+1"), no longer exits 1 at EOF (E501). Preserved behavior: - cursor starts at "$" - mode()=="cv" (for non-interactive) - multiline commands (:append/:function/heredoc pull continuation lines) - bare-range print - :print=>stdout - -V1=>stderr - CRLF input - continue-after-error and exit codes Dropped (regressed) POSIX behavior (non-interactive): - Event loop only ticks while/between commands, not while blocked waiting for a stdin line. - ":g/pat/visual...Q" - input()/getchar()/":s/x/y/c" no longer consume stdin lines as answers: Nvim stops at end-of-input, skipping the rest of the script, exit 0. Use ":lua io.read()" instead. - If users care about this they should use interactive Ex-mode (`gQ`). - ":@r" stops at end of the register instead of continuing to read cmdline input from stdin.
* refactor(build): remove INCLUDE_GENERATED_DECLARATIONS guardsbfredl2025-08-14
| | | | | | | | | These are not needed after #35129 but making uncrustify still play nice with them was a bit tricky. Unfortunately `uncrustify --update-config-with-doc` breaks strings with backslashes. This issue has been reported upstream, and in the meanwhile auto-update on every single run has been disabled.
* refactor(build): don't use the preprocessor when generating headersbfredl2025-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using the preprocessor before generating prototypes provides some "niceties" but the places that rely on these are pretty few. Vastly simplifying the BUILD SYSTEM is a better trade-off. Unbalancing { } blocks due to the preprocessor is cringe anyway (think of the tree-sitter trees!), write these in a different way. Add some workarounds for plattform specific features. INCLUDE_GENERATED_DECLARATIONS flag is now technically redundant, but will be cleaned up in a follow-up PR as it is a big mess.
* refactor: iwyu #31637Justin M. Keyes2024-12-23
| | | Result of `make iwyu` (after some "fixups").
* refactor: run IWYU on entire repodundargoc2023-12-21
| | | | Reference: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/6371.
* refactor: replace manual header guards with #pragma oncedundargoc2023-11-12
| | | | | It is less error-prone than manually defining header guards. Pretty much all compilers support it even if it's not part of the C standard.
* fix(ui): re-organize tty fd handling and fix issuesbfredl2023-01-16
| | | | | | | - Use the correct fd to replace stdin on windows (CONIN) - Don't start the TUI if there are no tty fd (not a regression, but makes sense regardless) - De-mythologize "global input fd". it is just STDIN.
* feat(lua): send "--" literally to Lua "-l" scriptJustin M. Keyes2023-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: When "-l" is followed by "--", we stop sending args to the Lua script and treat "--" in the usual way. This was for flexibility but didn't have a strong use-case, and has these problems: - prevents Lua "-l" scripts from handling "--" in their own way. - complicates the startup logic (must call nlua_init before command_line_scan) Solution: Don't treat "--" specially if it follows "-l".
* feat(lua)!: execute Lua with "nvim -l"Justin M. Keyes2023-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: Nvim has Lua but the "nvim" CLI can't easily be used to execute Lua scripts, especially scripts that take arguments or produce output. Solution: - support "nvim -l [args...]" for running scripts. closes #15749 - exit without +q - remove lua2dox_filter - remove Doxyfile. This wasn't used anyway, because the doxygen config is inlined in gen_vimdoc.py (`Doxyfile` variable). - use "nvim -l" in docs-gen CI job Examples: $ nvim -l scripts/lua2dox.lua --help Lua2DoX (0.2 20130128) ... $ echo "print(vim.inspect(_G.arg))" | nvim -l - --arg1 --arg2 $ echo 'print(vim.inspect(vim.api.nvim_buf_get_text(1,0,0,-1,-1,{})))' | nvim +"put ='text'" -l - TODO? -e executes Lua code -l loads a module -i enters REPL _after running the other arguments_.

* refactor(params): open -s and -w script files after parsing commandsbfredl2022-12-16
| | | | | | | This will be needed for #18375 as only the server should open the. scriptfile, and redirected stdin fd will need to be used. Also executing actions in the middle of command_line_scan() is cringe.
* build: allow IWYU to fix includes for all .c filesdundargoc2022-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | Allow Include What You Use to remove unnecessary includes and only include what is necessary. This helps with reducing compilation times and makes it easier to visualise which dependencies are actually required. Work on https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/549, but doesn't close it since this only works fully for .c files and not headers.

* vim-patch:8.0.1554: custom plugins loaded with --cleanJan Edmund Lazo2020-06-18
| | | | | | Problem: Custom plugins loaded with --clean. Solution: Do not include the home directory in 'runtimepath'. https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/072687032683b1994d25a114893d9a6f8bc36612
* *: Rename main loop variable from loop to main_loopZyX2016-05-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current name is inappropriate for the following reasons: 1. It is often masked by local `loop` variables. 2. It cannot be searched for. There are many `loop` variables where `loop` is some local variable. There are many cases when “loop” word is used in a comment. 3. It is in any case bad idea to use a generic name as a name of the global variable. Best if global has module prefix: this is why it is in `main.h`: `main_loop` both stands for “a main loop” and “a loop defined in `main.*`”. Since I have no idea how to list every occurrence of this variable method used to rename it is “remove it from globals.h, try to compile, fix errors”. Thus if some occurrence was hidden under false `#if` branch it was not replaced.
* Add automatic generation of headersZyX2014-06-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - The 'stripdecls.py' script replaces declarations in all headers by includes to generated headers. `ag '#\s*if(?!ndef NEOVIM_).*((?!#\s*endif).*\n)*#ifdef INCLUDE_GENERATED'` was used for this. - Add and integrate gendeclarations.lua into the build system to generate the required includes. - Add -Wno-unused-function - Made a bunch of old-style definitions ANSI This adds a requirement: all type and structure definitions must be present before INCLUDE_GENERATED_DECLARATIONS-protected include. Warning: mch_expandpath (path.h.generated.h) was moved manually. So far it is the only exception.
* Introduce nvim namespace: Fix define guards.Eliseo Martínez2014-05-15
| | | | | | Change define guards from NEOVIM_XXX_H to NVIM_XXX_H: - Change header files. - Change clint correct guard name calculation.
* Introduce nvim namespace: Fix project-local includes.Eliseo Martínez2014-05-15
| | | | Prepend 'nvim/' in all project-local (non-system) includes.
* Introduce nvim namespace: Move files.Eliseo Martínez2014-05-15
Move files from src/ to src/nvim/. - src/nvim/ becomes the new root dir for nvim executable sources. - src/libnvim/ is planned to become root dir of the neovim library.
