* test(harness): migrate away from magic globalsJustin M. Keyes2026-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: The magic globals `it`, `describe`, etc., are more trouble than they are worth. - Hooking into `after_each` requires `getfenv()` hacks. - They confuse luals/emmylua, because the top-level `.luarc.json` isn't merged with `test/.luarc.json` (apparently a luals limitation?) - They totally defeat discoverability because the user just has to "know" about the various magic symbols. So they harm DX, which means they serve no purpose at all. Solution: - Expose the test API from `testutil`, so tests can call `t.it()`, `t.describe()`, etc., in the conventional way. - Drop `getfenv()` hacks. - Drop the `setfenv()` injection in `load_chunk`. - Drop `test/_meta.lua`.
* feat(diff): merge adjacent blocks using inline:word (#37085)Harsh Kapse2026-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | vim-patch:9.2.0174: diff: inline word-diffs can be fragmented Problem: When using 'diffopt=inline:word', lines were excessively fragmented with punctuation creating separate highlight blocks, making it harder to read the diffs. Solution: Added 'diff_refine_inline_word_highlight()' to merge adjacent diff blocks that are separated by small gaps of non-word characters (up to 5 bytes by default) (HarshK97). When using inline:word diff mode, adjacent changed words separated by punctuation or whitespace are now merged into a single highlight block if the gap between them contains fewer than 5 non-word characters. This creates more readable diffs and closely matches GitHub's own diff display. closes: vim/vim#19098 https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/42c6686c78d39843f71dba989a8ea59bc6975132

* vim-patch:9.1.2085: Use-after-free in winframe_remove()zeertzjq2026-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: Use-after-free in winframe_remove() (henices) Solution: Set window_layout_locked() inside winframe_remove() and check that writing diff files is disallowed when the window layout is locked. It can happen with a custom diff expression when removing a window: 1. Buffer was removed, so win_frame_remove() is called to remove the window. 2. win_frame_remove() → frame_new_height() → scroll_to_fraction() → diff_check_fill() (checks for filler lines) 3. diff_check_fill() ends up causing a diff_try_update, and because we are not using internal diff, it has to first write the file to a buffer using buf_write() 4. buf_write() is called for a buffer that is not contained within a window, so it first calls aucmd_prepbuf() to create a new temporary window before writing the buffer and then later calls aucmd_restbuf(), which restores the previous window layout, calling winframe_remove() again, which will free the window/frame structure, eventually freeing stuff that will still be accessed at step 2. closes: vim/vim#19064 https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/ead1dda74a485ef0470e7252d07c1a36b8cde517 Nvim doesn't have this bug as Nvim uses a floating window as autocommand window, and removing it doesn't need winframe_remove().

* vim-patch:9.1.1753: defaults: 'diffopt' option value can be improved (#35727)zeertzjq2025-09-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: defaults: 'diffopt' option value can be improved Solution: Update diffopt defaults to include "indent-heuristic" and "inline:char" (Yee Cheng Chin) The default diff options have not been updated much despite new functionality having been added to Vim. - indent-heurstic: This has been enabled by default in Git since 33de716387 in 2017. Given that Vim uses xdiff from Git, it makes sense to track the default configuration from Git. - inline:char: This turns on character-wise inline highlighting which is generally much better than the default inline:simple. It has been implemented since vim/vim#16881 and we have not seen reports of any issues with it, and it has received good feedbacks. closes: vim/vim#18255 https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/976b365305c2e9025813ff3c7fe52f8d927fafc3 Co-authored-by: Yee Cheng Chin <ychin.git@gmail.com>

* vim-patch:9.1.1567: crash when using inline diff mode (#35005)zeertzjq2025-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: Crash when using inline diff mode (Ilya Grigoriev) Solution: Set tp_diffbuf to NULL when skipping a diff block (Yee Cheng Chin). Fix an array out of bounds crash when using diffopt+=inline:char when 4 or more buffers are being diff'ed. This happens when one of the blocks is empty. The inline highlight logic skips using that buffer's block, but when another buffer is used later and calls diff_read() to merge the diff blocks together, it could erroneously consider the empty block's diff info which has not been initialized, leaving to diff numbers that are invalid. Later on the diff num is used without bounds checking which leads to the crash. Fix this by making sure to unset tp_diffbuf to NULL when we skip a block, so diff_read() will not consider this buffer to be used within inline diff. Also, add more bounds checking just to be safe. closes: vim/vim#17805 https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/c8b99e2d139cf72c567892e44939f2719f703fa8 Co-authored-by: Yee Cheng Chin <ychin.git@gmail.com>
* vim-patch:9.1.1557: not possible to anchor specific lines in diff mode (#34967)zeertzjq2025-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: not possible to anchor specific lines in diff mode Solution: Add support for the anchoring lines in diff mode using the 'diffanchor' option (Yee Cheng Chin). Adds support for anchoring specific lines to each other while viewing a diff. While lines are anchored, they are guaranteed to be aligned to each other in a diff view, allowing the user to control and inform the diff algorithm what the desired alignment is. Internally, this is done by splitting up the buffer at each anchor and run the diff algorithm on each split section separately, and then merge the results back for a logically consistent diff result. To do this, add a new "diffanchors" option that takes a list of `{address}`, and a new "diffopt" option value "anchor". Each address specified will be an anchor, and the user can choose to use any type of address, including marks, line numbers, or pattern search. Anchors are sorted by line number in each file, and it's possible to have multiple anchors on the same line (this is useful when doing multi-buffer diff). Update documentation to provide examples. This is similar to Git diff's `--anchored` flag. Other diff tools like Meld/Araxis Merge also have similar features (called "synchronization points" or "synchronization links"). We are not using Git/Xdiff's `--anchored` implementation here because it has a very limited API (it requires usage of the Patience algorithm, and can only anchor unique lines that are the same across both files). Because the user could anchor anywhere, diff anchors could result in adjacent diff blocks (one block is directly touching another without a gap), if there is a change right above the anchor point. We don't want to merge these diff blocks because we want to line up the change at the anchor. Adjacent diff blocks were first allowed when linematch was added, but the existing code had a lot of branched paths where line-matched diff blocks were handled differently. As a part of this change, refactor them to have a more unified code path that is generalized enough to handle adjacent diff blocks correctly and without needing to carve in exceptions all over the place. closes: vim/vim#17615 https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/0d9160e11ce4b921adff1e5621dd989ce96fb0f3 Co-authored-by: Yee Cheng Chin <ychin.git@gmail.com>

* vim-patch:9.1.1276: inline word diff treats multibyte chars as word char ↵zeertzjq2025-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (#33323) Problem: inline word diff treats multibyte chars as word char (after 9.1.1243) Solution: treat all non-alphanumeric characters as non-word characters (Yee Cheng Chin) Previously inline word diff simply used Vim's definition of keyword to determine what is a word, which leads to multi-byte character classes such as emojis and CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) characters all classifying as word characters, leading to entire sentences being grouped as a single word which does not provide meaningful information in a diff highlight. Fix this by treating all non-alphanumeric characters (with class number above 2) as non-word characters, as there is usually no benefit in using word diff on them. These include CJK characters, emojis, and also subscript/superscript numbers. Meanwhile, multi-byte characters like Cyrillic and Greek letters will still continue to considered as words. Note that this is slightly inconsistent with how words are defined elsewhere, as Vim usually considers any character with class >=2 to be a "word". related: vim/vim#16881 (diff inline highlight) closes: vim/vim#17050 https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/9aa120f7ada592ed03b37f4de8ee413c5385f123 Co-authored-by: Yee Cheng Chin <ychin.git@gmail.com>
* vim-patch:9.1.1243: diff mode is lacking for changes within lineszeertzjq2025-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: Diff mode's inline highlighting is lackluster. It only performs a line-by-line comparison, and calculates a single shortest range within a line that could encompass all the changes. In lines with multiple changes, or those that span multiple lines, this approach tends to end up highlighting much more than necessary. Solution: Implement new inline highlighting modes by doing per-character or per-word diff within the diff block, and highlight only the relevant parts, add "inline:simple" to the defaults (which is the old behaviour) This change introduces a new diffopt option "inline:<type>". Setting to "none" will disable all inline highlighting, "simple" (the default) will use the old behavior, "char" / "word" will perform a character/word-wise diff of the texts within each diff block and only highlight the differences. The new char/word inline diff only use the internal xdiff, and will respect diff options such as algorithm choice, icase, and misc iwhite options. indent-heuristics is always on to perform better sliding. For character highlight, a post-process of the diff results is first applied before we show the highlight. This is because a naive diff will create a result with a lot of small diff chunks and gaps, due to the repetitive nature of individual characters. The post-process is a heuristic-based refinement that attempts to merge adjacent diff blocks if they are separated by a short gap (1-3 characters), and can be further tuned in the future for better results. This process results in more characters than necessary being highlighted but overall less visual noise. For word highlight, always use first buffer's iskeyword definition. Otherwise if each buffer has different iskeyword settings we would not be able to group words properly. The char/word diffing is always per-diff block, not per line, meaning that changes that span multiple lines will show up correctly. Added/removed newlines are not shown by default, but if the user has 'list' set (with "eol" listchar defined), the eol character will be be highlighted correctly for the specific newline characters. Also, add a new "DiffTextAdd" highlight group linked to "DiffText" by default. It allows color schemes to use different colors for texts that have been added within a line versus modified. This doesn't interact with linematch perfectly currently. The linematch feature splits up diff blocks into multiple smaller blocks for better visual matching, which makes inline highlight less useful especially for multi-line change (e.g. a line is broken into two lines). This could be addressed in the future. As a side change, this also removes the bounds checking introduced to diff_read() as they were added to mask existing logic bugs that were properly fixed in vim/vim#16768. closes: vim/vim#16881 https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/9943d4790e42721a6777da9e12637aa595ba4965 Co-authored-by: Yee Cheng Chin <ychin.git@gmail.com>
* vim-patch:9.1.1165: diff: regression with multi-file diff blocks (#32702)zeertzjq2025-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: Vim's diff block merging algorithm when doing a multi-file diff is buggy when two different diff hunks overlap a single existing diff block (after v9.1.0743) Solution: fix a couple bugs in this logic: 1. Fix regression from v9.1.0743 where it's not correctly expanding the 2nd overlap correctly, where it always expands without taking into account that this was always taken care of when the first overlap happened. Instead, we should only grow the 2nd overlap if it overhangs outside the existing diff block, and if we encounter a new overlapping diff block (due to overlap chaining). 2. When we expand a diff block to match the hunk size on the orig side (when handling the first overlap), we expand the same amount of lines in the new side. This is not sound if there exists a second overlap hunk that we haven't processed yet, and that hunk has different number of lines in orig/new. Fix this by doing the corresponding counter adjustment when handling 2nd/3rd/etc overlap by calculating the difference in lines between orig and new side.

* refactor(change): do API changes to buffer without curbuf switchbfredl2023-08-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of the messy things when changing a non-current buffer is not about the buffer, it is about windows. In particular, it is about `curwin`. When editing a non-current buffer which is displayed in some other window in the current tabpage, one such window will be "borrowed" as the curwin. But this means if two or more non-current windows displayed the buffers, one of them will be treated differenty. this is not desirable. In particular, with nvim_buf_set_text, cursor _column_ position was only corrected for one single window. Two new tests are added: the test with just one non-current window passes, but the one with two didn't. Two corresponding such tests were also added for nvim_buf_set_lines. This already worked correctly on master, but make sure this is well-tested for future refactors. Also, nvim_create_buf no longer invokes autocmds just because you happened to use `scratch=true`. No option value was changed, therefore OptionSet must not be fired.
