* this means that QRegSpecMachine::input() no longer has to return
a dummy QRegister in parse-only mode.
This saves an unnecessary QRegister table lookup and speeds up
parsing.
* QRegSpecMachine can now be easily extended to behave differently
when returning a Q-Register, e.g. simply returning NULL if a register
does not exist, or returning a register by prefix.
This is important for some planned commands.
* StateExpectQReg::got_register() now gets a QRegister *.
It can theoretically be NULL - still we don't have to check
for NULL in most cases since NULL is only passed in parse-only mode.

* expands to the value of $HOME (the env variable instead of
the register which currently makes a slight difference).
* supported for tab-completions
* supported for all file-name accepting commands.
The expansion is done centrally in StateExpectFile::done().
A new virtual method StateExpectFile::got_file() has been
introduced to pass the expanded/processed file name to
command implementations.
* sciteco(7) has been updated: There is now a separate section
on file name arguments and file name handling in SciTECO.
This information is important but has been scattered across
the document previously.
* optimized is_glob_pattern() in glob.h

working directory
* FG stands for "Folder Go"
* FG behaves similar to a Unix shell `cd`.
Without arguments, it changes to the $HOME directory.
* The $HOME directory was previously only used by $SCITECOCONFIG on Unix.
Now it is documented on its own, since the HOME directory should also
be configurable on Windows - e.g. to adapt SciTECO to a MinGW or Cygwin
installation.
HOME is initialized just like the other environment variables.
This also means that now, the $HOME Q-Register is always defined
and can be used by platform-agnostic macros.
* FG uses a new kind of tab-completion: for directories only.
It would be annoying to complete the FG command after every
directory, so this tab-completion does not close the command
automatically. Theoretically, it would be possible to close
the command after completing a directory with no subdirectories,
but this is not supported currently.
* Filename arguments are no longer completed with " " if {} escaping
is in place as this brings no benefit. Instead no completion character
is inserted for this escape mode.
* "$" was mapped to the current directory to support an elegant way to
insert/get the current directory.
Also this allows the idiom "[$ FG...new_dir...$ ]$" for changing
the current directory temporarily.
* The Q-Register stack was extended to support restoring the string
part of special Q-Registers (that overwrite the default functionality)
when using the "[$" and "]$" commands.
* fixed minor typos (american spelling)

cleanup/refactoring
* characters rubbed out are not totally removed from the command line,
but only from the *effective* command line.
* The rubbed out command line is displayed after the command line cursor.
On Curses it is grey and underlined.
* When characters are inserted that are on the rubbed out part of the command line,
the cursor simply moves forward.
NOTE: There's currently no immediate editing command for reinserting the
next character/word from the rubbed out command line.
* Characters resulting in errors are no longer simply discarded but rubbed out,
so they will stay in the rubbed out part of the command line, reminding you
which character caused the error.
* Improved Cmdline formatting on Curses UI:
* Asterisk is printed bold
* Control characters are printed in REVERSE style, similar to what
Scinterm does. The controll character formatting has thus been moved
from macro_echo() in cmdline.cpp to the UI implementations.
* Updated the GTK+ UI (UNTESTED): I did only, the most important API
adaptions. The command line still does not use any colors.
* Refactored entire command line handling:
* The command line is now a class (Cmdline), and most functions
in cmdline.cpp have been converted to methods.
* Esp. process_edit_cmd() (now Cmdline::process_edit_cmd()) has been
simplified. There is no longer the possibility of a buffer overflow
because of static insertion buffer sizes
* Cleaned up usage of the cmdline_pos variable (now Cmdline::pc) which
is really a program counter that used a different origin as macro_pc
which was really confusing.
* The new Cmdline class is theoretically 8-bit clean. However all of this
will change again when we introduce Scintilla views for the command line.
* Added 8-bit clean (null-byte aware) versions of QRegisterData::set_string()
and QRegisterData::append_string()

|
* also did some whitespace cleanup in SciTECO now that tabs are
displayed properly
|
|
|
|
* the ^I command was altered to insert indention characters
rather than plain tabs always.
* The <TAB> immediate editing command was added for all
insertion arguments (I, ^I but also FR and FS)
* documentation was extended for a discussion of indention
|
|
this is analoguous to EU as the string-build equivalent
of ^U.
|
|
* the GError expection has been renamed to GlibError, to avoid
nameclashes when working from the SciTECO namespace
|
|
normally, since SciTECO is not a library, this is not strictly
necessary since every library should use proper name prefixes
or namespaces for all global declarations to avoid name clashes.
However
* you cannot always rely on that
* Scintilla does violate the practice of using prefixes or namespaces.
The public APIs are OK, but it does define global functions/methods,
e.g. for "Document" that clashed with SciTECO's "TECODocument" class at
link-time.
Scintilla can put its definitions in a namespace, but this feature
cannot be easily enabled without patching Scintilla.
* a "SciTECO" namespace will be necessary if "SciTECO" is ever to be
turned into a library. Even if this library will have only a C-linkage
API, it must ensure it doesn't clutter the global namespace.
So the old "TECODocument" class was renamed back to "Document"
(SciTECO::Document).

* there is no reasonable default value for U
* omitting the parameter for U might be a frequent programming error
* U can be colon-modified now, in which case it may be used
* to check for the presence of arguments in macros

|
|
* results in better error messages, e.g. when opening files
* the case that a file to be opened (EB) exists but is not readably is handled for the first time
|
|
* might throw other exceptions that must be associated with the parent macro level's (stack frame)
* add position information to "label not found" errors
* Error copy constructors
|
|
* specifications resulted in runtime errors (unexpected exception) when bad_alloc ocurred
* specs should be used scarcely: only when the errors that may be thrown are all known
and for documentary purposes
|
|
* use to get line and column into a stack frame
|
|
* when an error is thrown, stack frames are collected on clean up, up to
the toplevel macro
* the toplevel macro decides how to display the error
* now errors in interactive and batch mode are displayed differently
* in batch mode, a backtrace is displayed as a sequence of messages
* Execute::file() forwards errors correctly
* the correct error in the file is displayed in interactive mode
* necessary to build the stack trace
|
|
by building with Emscripten support, SciTECO may be
embedded into web pages.
* sciteco.html is not a piece of documentation but a sample SciTECO embedding
|
|
* the warning itself makes sense but in the cases reportet they
were irrelevant

|
tab-completions
* StateExpectFile adds no functionality (currently), but is useful for checking state types
|
|
* storage size should always be 64 (gint64) to aid macro portability
* however, for performance reasons users compiling from source might
explicitly compile with 32 bit integers
|

string-building commands
* allows referring to long Q-Register names in string arguments
* currently, long names specified this way use their own string building char parsing
(I'm unsure whether this makes any sense)
|
|
base class
* uses label pointers instead of state-enum and switch case
(both faster and shorter to write)
* common interface for all micro state machines: makes them reusable
|

|
cmdline and cmdline_pos is no longer modified by code executed by step()
instead it is modified at the outermost macro level (commandline macro level)
|
|
* allows us to switch between buffers/registers when editing the
commandline
|
|
allows commandline editing scripted by macros
|
|
* simplified traditional commandline editing. no need to extend cmdline string one character
at a time when inserting multiple. instead there's a marker (cmdline_pos) specifying the macro
length to execute in a "step" and also the anchor for generating undo tokens
* implementation does not yet work in macro calls
* while editing the commandline, other buffers/registers may not be edited
(need push-down-list and auxiliary q-register)
|
|
* parser.cpp|h should be reserved for generic and misc. stuff.
the StateExpectQReg class is used almost exclusively by qregisters.cpp|h
* resolves a circular header dependency issue
