sciteco/tests, branch v2.5.1 Scintilla-based Text Editor and COrrector Haiku is officially supported again from now on 2026-01-09T11:07:54+00:00 Robin Haberkorn rhaberkorn@fmsbw.de 2026-01-09T11:07:54+00:00 acc6f6e83b9cabdc78b6a4f331c510c69e5ff757 * Turns out that it works perfectly with the default --enable-malloc-replacement as malloc() is replaced globally. * Added note to configure.ac that malloc() replacement may be useful on platforms without a global symbol namespace - you just have to link statically (--enable-static-executables) as well. This wasn't necessary on Haiku, though. * Only the test suite required a minor fix since Haiku doesn't support `ulimit`. * The Gtk interface is broken though on Haiku: You cannot type dead keys, Ctrl and AltGr combinations. Doesn't appear to be SciTECO-specific though. The libraries simply doesn't report modifiers. Appears to be a bug in Haiku's GTK 3 port, at least in their Beta5 branch. It can be reproduced with gtk-demo as well. * This opens the door for contributing a port into HaikuPorts. This will probably be Curses-only for the time being (see above).

fixup: disabled the --detach test case again 2025-12-30T10:53:52+00:00 Robin Haberkorn rhaberkorn@fmsbw.de 2025-12-30T10:53:52+00:00 2d0c67e2e4d705276171e67aa81da8bf90b4d7d0 It causes build failures on OBS for several Linux distributions. It generally works on Linux, so it's probably related to Xvfb.

GTK: implemented --detach|-d option for detaching from controlling terminal 2025-12-29T23:42:34+00:00 Robin Haberkorn rhaberkorn@fmsbw.de 2025-12-29T11:01:38+00:00 a7202a1fb911f72c309380b42c0ff995c05ba94c This is useful to launch from a terminal without "blocking" this terminal. There are tools like nohup and daemonize (BSD) to do the same, but having it builtin is shorter to write.

fixed ^S/^Y for search-replacement commands 2025-12-25T21:55:32+00:00 Robin Haberkorn rhaberkorn@fmsbw.de 2025-12-25T21:55:32+00:00 44166f53d5923be4685a69b85166ada40dc1cc10 It was returning the range of the search, but not of the inserted text. Since the searched text is deleted, the range of the insertion is more useful. It's also what was documented and what DEC TECO does.

Revert "testsuite: disable testcases with Valgrind only when detecting the fmsbw.de CI runner" 2025-11-09T20:14:38+00:00 Robin Haberkorn rhaberkorn@fmsbw.de 2025-11-09T20:14:38+00:00 939134b87821a32b84a2f14a48ea705eb0d49d7c This reverts commit 092f7d9919d9572219b7bf516933c37180e6f400. Turns out that the "Memory limiting" test cases won't even successfully run on my PC under Valgrind.

throw an error immediately after nEB if n != 0 2025-10-06T21:58:11+00:00 Robin Haberkorn rhaberkorn@fmsbw.de 2025-10-06T21:58:11+00:00 a62323baa454b4a6ac698067043c8d4cf50c6561 * When typing nEBfilename$ (n != 0) you would find out that the construct is invalid only after typing out the entire command. We now throw an error immediately, ie. only Escape or string termination will be expected in interactive mode. * In batch mode, nothing should have changed.

./configure --with-launcher=LAUNCHER can be used to run SciTECO with a launcher command (e.g. wine or wine64) 2025-09-24T00:13:40+00:00 Robin Haberkorn rhaberkorn@fmsbw.de 2025-09-24T00:13:40+00:00 8159f5930df5cc8bde25c69e064a203dcbfdd6bf * This can be used for bootstrapping Windows binaries cross-compiled on FreeBSD or Linux without requiring a native build to be installed first. It will also allow running the test suite under Wine. While Linux allows registering Wine as the launcher via binfmt_misc, on FreeBSD we have no choice than to use --with-launcher. * Unfortunately, SciTECO cannot currently be properly built with versions running under Wine and the test suite also fails.
