* it is supposed to be mainstreamed, but this did not yet happen
* even if it will eventually become part of the ports tree, I won't
have access to this repo and could not keep it up to date.
But I can keep this copy here up to date and it can serve as an
upstream source for the ports tree maintainer.
* Also, it can be used to build FreeBSD binary packages even now
without being part of the official ports tree.

|
|
|
* This is supposed to allow new users without any prior exposure to SciTECO
to pick up the basics of practical usage of SciTECO as an editor.
It almost does not elaborate on scripting-side of things.
* This requires a full Groff installation, so the document is not built by default.
|
|
* dh_testdir would sometimes cause problems on the PPA servers,
so we replaced it with an empty rule.
* We need to define the binary-arch and binary-indep targets
in order to recurse into the correct subdirectories.
I do not understand why this always worked on the Github runner
and sometimes even on the PPA servers.
Unfortunately, we cannot just call `dh binary-arch -B... -p...`
since that would call `dh_install -a` which overrides any `-p` (package),
thus trying to install the curses binaries from the Gtk build directory
and vice versa.

|
* This resolves must lintian warnings and errors.

packages

|
|
* Useful for packaging on platforms where we can only build from tarballs (FreeBSD)
* I don't know whether it's always safe and correct to install this file into $DATADIR/applications,
so the file is only distributed but not installed yet.
* It contains a hardcoded binary name "gsciteco". This could actually differ
depending on the concrete --program-prefix and it would be good to include the exact
installation path.
This however is not possible as long as we do not install this file.
|
|
* This is also the base of $SCITECOPATH.
* Changing it is useful for packaging where it is not possible to factor out the common
files between Curses and Gtk builds into a "sciteco-common" package.
As an alternative, you can now create disjunct sciteco-curses and sciteco-gtk packages.
* You will most likely want to use this for Gtk builds as in:
--with-interface=gtk --program-prefix=g --with-scitecodatadir=/usr/local/share/gsciteco.
|
|
* The lexer.test.* macros don't work on the unnamed buffer,
so any per-language indention settings etc. could be accidentally
applied to the unnamed buffer.
|
|
* Since Scintilla no longer automatically scrolls the caret (see 941f48da6dde691a7800290cc729aaaacd051392),
the caret wouldn't always end up in the view on startup.
* Added teco_interface_refresh() which includes SCI_SCROLLCARET and
is invoked on startup. This helps with the Curses backend.
It also reduces code redundancies.
* On Gtk, the caret cannot be easily scrolled on startup as long as no size is allocated
to the window, so we also added a size-allocate callback to the
window's event box. Sizes are less often allocated to the event box than to the
window itself for some strange reason.
|
|
* This probably did not cause any bugs.
|
|
default now
* On FreeBSD both the dlmalloc replacement and poll-thread via sysctl() work
but the poll-thread has been benchmarked to be significantly faster,
at least on my machine.
You can still ./configure --enable-malloc-replacement of course.
* Interestingly, the RSS of the process visible via htop does not decrease
after OOMs or command-line terminations - with neither of the implementations.
|
|
* it appears to behave similar to Mac OS with regard to recursions
|
|
* This especially fixes spawning on 0,128ED-mode broken since
f557af9a9112955d3b65f6ad0d54c0791189f961.
* The process is added to a job object now, which allows us to
kill the entire process tree.
Previously we we were leaving around orphaned processes.
|
|
|
|
* teco_interrupt() turned out to be unsuitable to kill child processes (eg. when <EB> hangs).
Instead, we have Win32-specific code now.
* Since SIGINT can be ignored on UNIX, pressing CTRL+C was not guaranteed to kill the
child process (eg. when <EB> hangs).
At the same time, it makes sense to send SIGINT first, so programs can terminate gracefully.
The behaviour has therefore been adapted: Interrupting with CTRL+C the first time will kill
gracefully. The second time, a more agressive signal is sent to kill the child process.
Unfortunately, this would be relatively tricky and complicated to do on Windows, so CTRL+C will always
"hard-kill" the child process.
* Moreover, teco_interrupt() killed the entire process on Windows when called the second time.
This resulted in any interruption to terminate SciTECO unexpectedly when tried the second time on Gtk/Win32.
* teco_sigint_occurred renamed to teco_interrupted:
There may be several different sources for setting this flag.
* Checking for CTRL+C on Gtk involves driving the main event loop repeatedly.
This is a very expensive operation. We now do that only every 100ms. This is still sufficient since
keyboard input comes from humans.
This optimization saves 75% runtime on Windows and 90% on Linux.
* The same optimization turned out to be contraproductive on PDCurses/WinGUI.
|
|
* test case: ECwhile true; do true; done$
* Some platforms require polling via teco_interface_is_interrupted()
for detecting interruptions, so we added an idle watcher to the
Glib event loop in spawn.c.
* On platforms that do not require polling key presses (like Unix/ncurses),
the idle watcher won't do any harm.
|
|
* The caret wasn't always kept out of the UZ and at some point would totally leave the view.
This was apparently cause by executing two SCI_SCROLLCARETs per teco_interface_cmdline_update().
* Instead, we now use a CARET_EVEN scroll policy which also works sufficiently well.
|
|
* This is using an Input Method now.
* Entering dead keys has probably always been broken in Gtk which I only did not notice
because I use a keyboard layout without dead keys.
This affects the ^ and ` keys on a German layout.
* Once we support Unicode input, it would make sense to abuse Scintilla's already existing input method support.
Unfortunately, forwarding keyboard events to the Scintilla view breaks event freezing and results in flickering.
|
|
PDCurses/WinGUI
* we can neither display, nor parse Unicode characters properly, so this does not worsen anything
* makes it harder to confuse the parser as long as we do not support Unicode.
* behaves like on Gtk: pressing a non-ASCII char will simply be ignored
* Most importantly, this fixes crashes on PDCurses/WinGUI.
It apparently couldn't handle the negative integers that resulted from passing a value >= 0x80 <= 0xFF
into gchar (which is a signed integer).
Changing everything into guchar is not worth the effort - we need full Unicode support anyway.

|
g_object_unref()
* Turns out that using gtk_widget_destroy(), the finalize handler never gets called!?
This means we were leaking memory.
* Using g_object_unref() fixes that and the initial Scintilla patch is no longer necessary.
* There have previously been use-after-free bugs when *not* using gtk_widget_destroy().
This has apparently been fixed in the meantime in Scintilla.
|
|
* the GObject lifecycle was violated, resulting in use-after-free scenarios
|
|
* Turns out it is impossible - or at least very tricky - to avoid undo token emission
for insert_len.
I therefore opt for stability rather than saving memory.
* The old workaround introduced in a6b5394086260c262e393dd113057916fd14134b would actually
fail if you do not rub out the string argument completely after interruption. I.e.
You type <Ihello^J$>, interrupt - insert_len may be != 0 at this point - and _partially_
rubout the insert-command and continue typing.
This could still crash the editor.
|
|
Scintilla now
* The patch avoids all automatic scrolling consistently, including in SCI_UNDO.
This speads up Undo (especially after interruptions).
* Also, the patch disables a very costly and pointless (in SciTECO) algorithm that
effectively made <Ix$> uninterruptible.
* Effectively reverts large parts of 8ef010da59743fcc4927c790f585ba414ec7b129.
I have never liked using unintuitive Scintilla messages to avoid scrolling.

* actually everything is updated to their current HEADs but the aforementioned versions are close.
* Scintilla uses threads now, so we added checks for pthread.
To be on the safe side, we imported AX_PTHREAD from the Autoconf archives.
The flags are kept out of the ordinary build system, though and used only for compiling Scintilla
and for linking.
SciTECO may also use threads, but via Glib.
* Scinterm removed SCI_COLOR_PAIR(), so we re-added it to src/interface-curses/interface.c.
* There is an Asciidoc lexer now.
* The <Ix$> interruption bug (see TODO) is not fixed by this upgrade.
Perhaps the Mac OS version runs better now. Feedback is needed (refs #12).
|
|
* In order to provoke this bug, there must be a loop with a string command.
For instance <Ifoobar^J$>.
When interrupting this loop, ctx->expectstring.insert_len might end up > 0.
This breaks an optimization that avoids undo tokens for insert_len since it
is usually reset to 0 after every keypress.
Once you rubout everything and retype `I`, you can crash SciTECO.
* I am not sure if this solution is ideal.
An alternative might be adding teco_state_expectstring_initial(),
but we would have to chain to it from some child states that have their
own initial() callback.
Of course, we could also simply teco_undo_gsize(insert_len) at the cost
of undo tokens.
|
|
* This does not make sense for most SciTECO builds, but only when you
want to optimize for size as the lexers take up 50% of the compressed binary
size.
Without Lexilla, it should be possible get it compiled in about 500kb.
* It can be useful for instance when building for embedded distributions.
* When Lexilla is disabled, symbols-scilexer.c is also not generated
(we assume that the Lexilla sources are not available and it also doesn't serve any purpose).
* Consequently, most of the lexer configuration scripts are also not installed
under --without-lexilla.
|
|
* This would sometimes rub out more than expected due to
reading undefined memory.
Actually even crashes were not impossible.
* This is because SCI_GETWORDCHARS does not null-terminate the buffer
it writes but this was assumed.
In effect, we could easily read beyond the allocated memory in wchars
if there doesn't happen to be a null-char following the buffer.
* Consequently, null-chars in word chars were also not supported,
although this would hardly trouble anybody.
* Instead, we now store the word chars in a teco_string_t which
supports non-null-terminated strings natively.
Still we null-terminate the string to keep teco_string_t's promises
about degrading to null-terminated char *.
This is currently not necessary.
* teco_is_wordchar() has been replaced by teco_string_contains().
|
|
* We no longer need special NULL-values for teco_cmdline_insert(),
as teco_cmdline_rubin() will simply take a character from the rubbed-out
command line and is equivalent to typing a character from the rubbed-out
command-line.
|
|
* The rubbed out command line should not be discarded.
* This has been broken since 432ad24e382681f1c13b07e8486e91063dd96e2e
(C conversion).
|
|
* Disabled pyTooling/Actions/releaser composite on Ubuntu and use a container instead.
The composite step is obviously broken on Ubuntu 20.04.
|
|
* pyTooling/Actions/releaser/composite updated to v0.4.6
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The last digit of the year was cut off.
This was an artifact from the time that <EG> was used for inserting the date
as it was inserting a new line character as well.
This is no longer necessary as GNU Make is now executing the `date` tool.
|
|
* .SCITECO_TT should be before .EX, so that the indent is already monospaced.
.SCITECO_TT_END still needs to be before .EE however, so that the next
non-monospaced line is not "typeset" with a monospaced indent.
* naturally only affects the Gtk UI
|
|
* Courier has the quirk that letter sequences like "fi" are turned into ligatures
which breaks the monospaced nature of the display.
* We assume that "Monospace" is also more portable, although it hasn't yet been tested on Windows.
* only relevant for the Gtk UI of course
* It might be a good idea to set SCI_STYLESETCHECKMONOSPACED as well (FIXME?)
|
|
* Hopefully disables paragraph breaking in newer Groff versions,
but needs to be tested.
|
|
* The intermediate output of Groff will contain `t` commands before the
font 1 is defined which we interpret as the default font.
We therefore hardcode the default-font position to 1 by default - it won't change anyway.
|
|
* fixes test cases like 3<%a:>
* you can now use :F< in pass-through loops as well
* F> outside of loops will now exit the current macro level.
This is analogous to what TECO-11 did.
In interactive mode, F> is currently also equivalent to $$
(terminates command line).
|
|
* mingw-bundledlls apparently does not output MinGW-friendly filenames,
so we cannot use it to bundle files into a directory differing from the
executable's directory.
|
|
* make sure that all DLLs are packaged into the root directory even
those for the pixbuf loaders
|
|
* These are apparently "Microsoft DirectX Typography Services"
* patch should be contributed upstream
|
|
* mingw-bundledlls finds and copies transitive DLL dependencies.
* Like all external one-file sources, mingw-bundledlls has been copied into contrib/
instead of adding a submodule.
It's taken from here: https://github.com/mpreisler/mingw-bundledlls
* Packaging is more robust now if dependant DLLs are upgraded or if we
decide to link in more statically.
With the old scheme, we might also miss some DLL and break builds
without even noticing it.
|
|
* This is not easy to fix (show errors when encountering these constructs without
preceding if <"> statements) and would require complicating the parser only to
detect this.
On the other hand, keeping things as they are does not really harm anybody.
|
|
|
|
This is slightly less idiosyncratic than shipping a tarball of the installation root.
The pkg has been reported to be installable even via the graphic installer when providing
a password.
Or it can be installed via terminal with `sudo installer`.
So it no longer requires any manual dequarantining.

registers
* An empty but valid teco_string_t can contain NULL pointers.
More precisely, a state's done_cb() can be invoked with such empty strings
in case of empty string arguments.
Also a registers get_string() can return the NULL pointer
for existing registers with uninitialized string parts.
* In all of these cases, the language should treat "uninitialized" strings
exactly like empty strings.
* Not doing so, resulted in a number of vulnerabilities.
* EN$$ crashed if "_" was uninitialized
* The ^E@q and ^ENq string building constructs would crash for existing but
uninitialized registers q.
* ?$ would crash
* ESSETILEXER$$ would crash
* This is now fixed.
Test cases have been added.
* I cannot guarantee that I have found all such cases.
Generally, it might be wise to change our definitions and make sure that
every teco_string_t must have an associated heap object to be valid.
All functions returning pointer+length pairs should consequently also never
return NULL pointers.
