2015-03-18updated TODOv0.6.4Robin Haberkorn1-0/+4
2015-03-18bumped release version to v0.6.4, updated ChangeLog and clarify libglib ↵Robin Haberkorn4-8/+18
minimum version * it was necessary to increase the upstream version so I could upload new versions to launchpad while debugging PPA build issues. * ChangeLog finalized for v0.6.4 * SciTECO requires at least libglib v2.28 (but that's only a guess)
2015-03-18fixed Debian package: launchpad build servers have broken $TERM configurationsRobin Haberkorn3-2/+12
* it also sets the compatibility level to 7 which was required when building for Ubuntu Lucid. This version cannot be supported however since its libglib version is too old.
2015-03-18./distribute: recreate temporary directory each time a source or binary ↵Robin Haberkorn1-1/+19
package is built * you no longer have to make an entire clean when e.g. uploading for another Ubuntu release. Therefore, the source tar ball is preserved (it must be the same for all packages with the same upstream version). * also try to extract the SciTECO version from the ./configure script instead of hardcoding it in ./distribute
2015-03-18fixed compiling on G++ v4.4: It needs a more verbose syntax when calling ↵Robin Haberkorn1-2/+1
template base class constructors * v4.4 is still officially supported by SciTECO (see INSTALL) * Ubuntu Lucid appears to use v4.4 by default and lucid is till supported by PPA. So this should fix building SciTECO in its PPA for Ubuntu Lucid.
2015-03-18ncurses: fixed batch mode initialization for unset or broken $TERMRobin Haberkorn1-10/+56
* If TERM is set but wrong, it might still fail. Errors are reported now. * If $TERM is unset or empty, we refuse to start the interactive mode. Unfortunately, we cannot easily let curses decide this since newterm() does not work as expected. * However this solution should be quite good: Either $TERM is empty - then batch mode will work but not interactive mode. Or it is not empty, then it is checked by the first call to newterm() when initializing batch mode. The chance of starting up interactive mode with a wrong $TERM or in head-less environments is now quite low. * This is most likely responsible for the PPA build issues.
2015-03-17fixed invalid memory accesses in the expression stack and reworked ↵Robin Haberkorn5-83/+98
expression stack this was probably a regression from d94b18819ad4ee3237c46ad43a962d0121f0c3fe and should not be in v0.5. The return value of Expressions::find_op() must always be checked since it might not find the operator, returning 0 (it used to be 0). A zero index pointed to uninitialized memory - in the worst case it pointed to invalid memory resulting in segfaults. Too large indices were also not handled. This was probably responsible for recent PPA build issues. Valgrind/memcheck reports this error but I misread it as a bogus warning. I took the opportunity to clean up the ValueStack implementation and made it more robust by adding a few assertions. ValueStacks now grow from large to small addresses (like stack data structures usually do). This means, there is no need to work with negative indices into the stack pointer. To reduce the potential for invalid stack accesses, stack indices are now unsigned and have origin 0. Previously, all indices < 1 were faulty but weren't checked. Also, I added some minor optimizations.

2015-03-17updated Debian package and fixed ./distribute (for Debian packages)Robin Haberkorn3-7/+8
2015-03-17added PDCURSES_LIBS ./configure variable to overwrite the check for PDCursesRobin Haberkorn2-11/+17
* allows us to link against PDCurses/win32a statically. It requires additional Windows DLLs (gdi32 and comdlg32) and since there's no PDCurses configuration mechanism, it is easiest to set the PDCurses linker flags using a PDCURSES_LIBS env variable. * This is only possible since Scintilla links statically, we do the linking of the binary and can provide the linker flags. It is still not possible to overwrite the CFLAGS used for PDCurses without modifying the Scinterm Makefile. * Using PDCURSES_LIBS we can get rid of --with-interface=emcurses since if library checks fail with EMscripten, we can simply define PDCURSES_LIBS="-lpdcurses"
2015-03-17support for ncurses/win32Robin Haberkorn2-4/+18
Unfortunately, I cannot really test this curses port since it is not supported by Windows 2000 (missing AttachConsole() API) and it does not run very well in Wine. Under Wine, it does not require the LINES and COLS variable to be set. However, endwin() and the refresh later on result in a very unusable state of operation. I cannot currently check whether this is true on Windows XP or later.
2015-03-17always enable ^G modifier after tab completion in ^G mode.Robin Haberkorn1-0/+3
If there was a rubbed out command line and you tab completed a file name in a string argument (TAB in ^G mode), the immediate editing modifier was automatically reset. This still happens if nothing could be tab completed and you type a few characters and try to complete again (since ^G mode will be reset). If this feature is used often, the user should perhaps define a function key as ^G^I^G.

2015-03-16./distribute: updated recipes for building Windows releasesRobin Haberkorn1-11/+34
2015-03-16fixed tar ball creation for out-of-tree configurationsRobin Haberkorn1-1/+1
* Automake was trying to overwrite the submodule Scintilla (that should be distributed) with the local copy of Scintilla (perhaps because the directory had the same name). Instead, we now copy the submodule Scintilla manually into the distribution directory.
2015-03-16implemented function key masking (context-sensitive function key macros)Robin Haberkorn4-6/+78
* fnkeys.tes has been updated to enable the command line editing macros (cursor keys, etc.) only in the "start" state. This avoids the annoying effect of inserting the macros into string arguments where they have no effect and must be rubbed out again.
2015-03-16removed claim of no bugs in sciteco(1) ;-)Robin Haberkorn1-6/+0
2015-03-16clarify comment of why newterm() cannot be used on PDCursesRobin Haberkorn1-4/+6
2015-03-16fixed curses prog-mode reinitializationRobin Haberkorn1-4/+11
when SciTECO interactive mode is started, the curses prog mode is restored automatically. Therefore it should already be set up correctly (after SciTECO batch mode initialization). This fixes console glitches on MinGW/PDCurses. partial revert of commit 4dced2
2015-03-16removed check for glibc-compatible malloc and reallocRobin Haberkorn1-2/+0
the MSVCRT versions are not glibc-compatible and we do not actually need glibc compatible versions, as all allocations are done through the libglib wrappers.

2015-03-16added icon to README.mdRobin Haberkorn1-0/+2
2015-03-16documented the automatic EOL translation featureRobin Haberkorn3-7/+75
2015-03-16implemented automatic EOL translation supportRobin Haberkorn14-132/+603
* activated via bit 4 of the ED flag (enabled by default) * automatic EOL guessing on file loading and translation to LFs. * works with files that have inconsistent EOL sequences. * automatic translation to original EOL sequences on file saving * works with inconsistent EOL sequences in the buffer. This should usually not happen if the file was read in with automatic EOL translation enabled. * also works with the EC and EG commands * performance is OK, depending on the file being translated. When reading files with UNIX EOLs, the overhead is minimal typically-sized files. For DOS EOLs the overhead is larger but still acceptable. * Return (line feed) is now an immediate editing command. This centralizes EOL sequence insertion. Later, other features like auto-indent could be added to the editing command. * get_eol() has been moved to main.cpp (now called get_eol_seq() * Warn if file ownership could not be preserved when saving files. * IOView has been almost completely rewritten based on GIOChannels. The EOL translation code is also in IOView.
2015-03-16added EL command for setting/getting the EOL modeRobin Haberkorn2-0/+101
2015-03-16when initializing ncurses, make sure that the output stream is fully bufferedRobin Haberkorn1-0/+1

2015-03-12updated TODORobin Haberkorn1-7/+15
2015-03-12improved ncurses batch mode initializationRobin Haberkorn2-22/+65
* I now understand better why the old initialization worked ;-) By not calling initscr(), we could prevent some terminal setup and screen clearing usually performed which would interfere with with having a clean stdout stream. However the Curses screen was still basically attached to the terminal. * That's why there was screen flickering in urxvt when calling sciteco (even in batch mode). Also that's why calling batch-mode SciTECO did not work from other Curses programs (including SciTECO). * The new implementation directs Curses at /dev/null, so it will completely stay away from /dev/tty. * /dev/tty is associated with the Curses screen only when the interactive mode is initialized. This works elegantly via freopen() - there's no need to create a new Curses screen. * This does currently not work on PDCurses where the batch mode will still initscr() followed by endwin(). I should investigate how newterm() behaves there - especially on Windows.

2015-03-11fixed weird colors in rubbed-out command line on PDCurses/win32Robin Haberkorn1-13/+35
2015-03-11fixup: distribute sciteco.ico and sciteco-48.pngRobin Haberkorn1-0/+6
2015-03-10added SciTECO icon and compile it into Windows binariesRobin Haberkorn5-0/+24
* sciteco.ico contains a 16 color 16px, a 255 color 32px and a true color 48px version of the icon. The first ones are good for legacy Windows versions like 2000, while the latter one should be preferred by Windows >= 7. * Also added the 48px version as a PNG for Linux. But it is not installed currently, as there is no standardized place for it and it wouldn't do much good in /usr/share/sciteco.
2015-03-10added --no-profile command line optionRobin Haberkorn2-2/+21
2015-03-10added the <"I> conditional for checking a directory separatorRobin Haberkorn2-1/+16
* It is still useful to have this in macros since you may want to work with non-normalized file names. For instance, env variables (including $SCITECOPATH and $SCITECOCONFIG) may (and will probably) include backward-slash separators on Windows
2015-03-10always normalize directory separators to "/" in the "*" Q-RegisterRobin Haberkorn2-5/+32
* on Windows, this register contained backward slashes. This means that macros working with that register had to cope with both forward and backward slashes. * The file names are still displayed in the native style by the UI * This approach also has disadvantages: What if the user wants to insert the current file name somewhere where "\" is expected? However, this seems to be an unlikely case and the use can still replace the "/" with "\" again. * Avoid some virtual method calls in QRegisterBufferInfo
2015-03-10added ./configure --enable-static-executables optionRobin Haberkorn2-0/+19
* This adds the -all-static libtool option and can be used to link a static sciteco binary (or at least link in as few as possible dynamic libraries) * Esp. useful on MinGW to link in all dependant libraries (glib, libintl, libiconv, libpdcurses, ...) statically. A static .exe is much smaller than a dynamically linked plus all the DLLs and is easier to relocate. * This does not guarantee that ALL libraries are linked in dynamically. E.g. on MinGW, the sciteco.exe will still link to MSVCRT and the Windows system DLLs, but they already ship with Windows. * On MinGW, even a static build will still require the gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe which is used by glib to implement g_spawn with redirection. We cannot get around that. * It would be better to let this be decided by the package builder using the standard env variables like LDFLAGS. However, this does not seem to work well with libtool. It IS possible to define LDFLAGS="-all-static" when calling make but this approach sucks.
2015-03-10avoid frequent info line redraws in Curses and GTK+ UIsRobin Haberkorn3-20/+38
* it is now redrawn once after each key press, even if the info line has not changed. * This is because Interface::update_info() is called very often in interactive mode, so it makes more sense to redraw it after user interaction (where even unnecessary delays are not noticed so easily), than thousands of times in a macro. * This is especially important since InterfaceCurses::update_info() now also sets the Window title on PDCurses - this is a very costly operation. * The same optimization was applied to InterfaceGtk where it is probably greatly responsible for the sluggishness of the UI. The GTK+ changes are currently UNTESTED.
2015-03-10simplified and optimized filename_complete()Robin Haberkorn1-54/+31
* dirname and basename calculations can be done easier with the new file_get_dirname_len() * platform-dependant derive_dir_separator() function has been removed
2015-03-10dirname length calculation moved from glob.cpp to file_get_dirname_len() in ↵Robin Haberkorn2-5/+27
ioview.h this function is very useful in other places as well (e.g. command line tab completion)
2015-03-10optimized Interface::info_update() implementationsRobin Haberkorn2-15/+17
* use g_strconcat() instead of g_strdup_printf() * InterfaceGtk::info_update() now longer has an arbitrary 255 byte limit on the length of the info line.
2015-03-10fixed globbing (EN command) for pattern without directory and on WindowsRobin Haberkorn1-9/+28
* Globbing without directory (e.g. EN*.cpp$) introduced a "./" into the expanded file names. It no longer does that. * The expanded file names will have the exact same directory component (if any) as the glob pattern. So on Windows, the directory separators in the list of expanded files is exactly as the user requested. * Also fixes lexers.tes on Windows because the script assumes forward slashes.
2015-03-09improved error message when libpdcurses is not foundRobin Haberkorn1-1/+2
* PDCurses build system produces static libraries that cannot be found by Autoconf (pdcurses.a) and often files have the wrong permissions.
2015-03-09fixed displaying of control characters in the "info" line (and window title)Robin Haberkorn4-4/+60
* this relied on Curses' control character drawing on Curses. However it treats tab and line feed differently than other control characters, so registers like "^Mfoo" could not be displayed properly. Even if we can configure Curses to display them correctly, we need a "canonicalized", flat form of strings for other purposes (like setting window titles. This is form is different from the formatting used for command lines which may change anyway once we introduce Scintilla mini buffers. * therefore String::canonicalize_ctl() was introduced * also set window title on PDCurses

2015-03-07canonicalize $SCITECOCONFIG and $SCITECOPATH variablesRobin Haberkorn2-1/+23
* this makes them absolute and also resolves links on Unix * macros can now assume the corresponding Q-regs to be absolute * Currently this does not make a big difference since the working directory of the SciTECO process cannot be changed. Once I implement a command to change the working dir, this is essential.
