launcher command (e.g. wine or wine64)
* 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.
|
|
* DEC TECO had an <EO> command.
In contrast to DEC TECO's implementation, the value reported by
<EO> encodes a major.minor.micro semantic version.

* Test cases where hard to read since there was a layer of shell and M4 escaping -- sometimes
with the help of quadrigraphs -- to preserve the original TECO characters.
* We introduced TE_CHECK() and TE_CHECK_CMDLINE() M4 macros which care about shell escaping
automatically.
* If all TECO code is double quoted with [[ and ]], single square and round brackets
are preserved as well.
* Only in case of using *unbalanced* single square brackets, you have to take action
and add `![!` or `!]!` TECO comments to balance them out.
This is still better than quadrigraphs.
* The $ESCAPE and $RUBOUT environment variables are replaced by equivalent
M4 macros, so they can be used with TE_CHECK_CMDLINE().
* Other references to shell variables have been resolved by exporting them
into the environment (as in the case of $srcdir) or by introducing
new M4 macros (TE_MAXINTxx, TE_MININTxx).
* The $WORDS_EXAMPLE variable has been got rid of by writing it into a temporary
file instead. There is some redundancy -- in principle an M4 macro could have also been used.
* This leaves only 6 remaining usages of AT_CHECK() for invoking SciTECO,
mainly for testing opener.tes, where we have to pass in command line arguments.
In theory most of them could be avoided as well by preparing the unnamed buffer appropriately.
However the way that command line parameters are passed will be changed sooner or later.
* This uses GNU M4 extensions, but Autoconf requires that anyway.

* After detecting +line[,column] constructs, the next argument is not parsed as a potential
filename:line[:column] construct.
* This code turned out to be tricky to get right, so I added a test case.
Standard library modules can well be checked in the test suite since
we have $SCITECOPATH pointing to the source tree's lib/ directory.
* Make sure that relevant variables from atlocal.in are really exported into the
process environment.
This was also broken for the Glib debug options.

* In other words, fixed `-9223372036854775808\` on --with-teco-integer=64
(which is the default).
* The reason is that ABS(G_MININT64) == G_MININT64 since -G_MININT64 == G_MININT64.
It is therefore important not to call ABS() on arbitrary teco_int_t's.

* This was actually broken if the command is preceded by `@` and `:` characters, which
are __not__ modifiers.
E.g. `Q:@I/foo^W` would have rubbed out the `:` register as well.
* Also, since it was all done in teco_state_process_edit_cmd(),
it would also rub out modifier characters from within string arguments,
E.g. `@I/::^EQ^W`
* Real commands now have their own ^W rubout implementation, while the generic
fallback just rubs out until the start state is re-established.
This fails to rub out modifiers as in `@I/^W`, though.
* Real command characters now use the common TECO_DEFINE_STATE_COMMAND().
* Added test cases for CTRL+W rub out.
A few control characters are now portably available to tests
via environment variables `$ESCAPE`, `$RUBOUT` and `$RUBOUT_WORD`.

This became the default in later Valgrind versions.
With leak checking, the test suite does not currently run cleanly.
|
|
* <W> was also using keyboard movement commands.
* This fixes an inconsistency between the handling of punctuation characters,
e.g. "(word" followed by -W vs. Y.
|
|
* The program exit code will usually not signal failures since they are caught earlier.
* Therefore, we always have to capture and check stderr.
|
|
* Any memory error will let the test case fail with code 66.
* You can also call
make check TESTSUITEFLAGS="--valgrind"
* There is no program test for Valgrind in configure.ac for the time being.
`valgrind` must be in $PATH.
* All CI testsuite runs under Ubuntu are now with Valgrind.
|
|
* Supports all immediate editing commands.
Naturally it cannot emulate arbitrary key presses since there is no
canonic ASCII-encoding of function keys.
Key macros are not consequently also not testable.
The --fake-cmdline parameter is instead treated very similar to
a key macro expansion.
* Most importantly this allows adding test cases for rubout behavior
and bugs that are quite common.
* Added regression test cases for the last two rubout bugs.
* It's not easy to pass control codes in command line arguments in
a portable manner, so the test cases will often use { and }.
Control codes could be used e.g. by defining variables like
RUBOUT=`printf '\b'`
and referencing them with ${RUBOUT}.

|
* It wasn't failing on FreeBSD because there are different default
stacksize limits.
We now set it to 8MB everywhere.

hopefully fixes the Unicode test cases on Mac OS
|
|
|
|
* there is no /bin/true
* We cannot crash SciTECO using unlimited recursion, at least not
before the memory limit is reached.
Therefore, this test case is expected to succeed on Mac OS.

This is a total conversion of SciTECO to plain C (GNU C11).
The chance was taken to improve a lot of internal datastructures,
fix fundamental bugs and lay the foundations of future features.
The GTK user interface is now in an useable state!
All changes have been squashed together.
The language itself has almost not changed at all, except for:
* Detection of string terminators (usually Escape) now takes
the string building characters into account.
A string is only terminated outside of string building characters.
In other words, you can now for instance write
I^EQ[Hello$world]$
This removes one of the last bits of shellisms which is out of
place in SciTECO where no tokenization/lexing is performed.
Consequently, the current termination character can also be
escaped using ^Q/^R.
This is used by auto completions to make sure that strings
are inserted verbatim and without unwanted sideeffects.
* All strings can now safely contain null-characters
(see also: 8-bit cleanliness).
The null-character itself (^@) is not (yet) a valid SciTECO
command, though.
An incomplete list of changes:
* We got rid of the BSD headers for RB trees and lists/queues.
The problem with them was that they used a form of metaprogramming
only to gain a bit of type safety. It also resulted in less
readble code. This was a C++ desease.
The new code avoids metaprogramming only to gain type safety.
The BSD tree.h has been replaced by rb3ptr by Jens Stimpfle
(https://github.com/jstimpfle/rb3ptr).
This implementation is also more memory efficient than BSD's.
The BSD list.h and queue.h has been replaced with a custom
src/list.h.
* Fixed crashes, performance issues and compatibility issues with
the Gtk 3 User Interface.
It is now more or less ready for general use.
The GDK lock is no longer used to avoid using deprecated functions.
On the downside, the new implementation (driving the Gtk event loop
stepwise) is even slower than the old one.
A few glitches remain (see TODO), but it is hoped that they will
be resolved by the Scintilla update which will be performed soon.
* A lot of program units have been split up, so they are shorter
and easier to maintain: core-commands.c, qreg-commands.c,
goto-commands.c, file-utils.h.
* Parser states are simply structs of callbacks now.
They still use a kind of polymorphy using a preprocessor trick.
TECO_DEFINE_STATE() takes an initializer list that will be
merged with the default list of field initializers.
To "subclass" states, you can simply define new macros that add
initializers to existing macros.
* Parsers no longer have a "transitions" table but the input_cb()
may use switch-case statements.
There are also teco_machine_main_transition_t now which can
be used to implement simple transitions. Additionally, you
can specify functions to execute during transitions.
This largely avoids long switch-case-statements.
* Parsers are embeddable/reusable now, at least in parse-only mode.
This does not currently bring any advantages but may later
be used to write a Scintilla lexer for TECO syntax highlighting.
Once parsers are fully embeddable, it will also be possible
to run TECO macros in a kind of coroutine which would allow
them to process string arguments in real time.
* undo.[ch] still uses metaprogramming extensively but via
the C preprocessor of course. On the downside, most undo
token generators must be initiated explicitly (theoretically
we could have used embedded functions / trampolines to
instantiate automatically but this has turned out to be
dangereous).
There is a TECO_DEFINE_UNDO_CALL() to generate closures for
arbitrary functions now (ie. to call an arbitrary function
at undo-time). This simplified a lot of code and is much
shorter than manually pushing undo tokens in many cases.
* Instead of the ridiculous C++ Curiously Recurring Template
Pattern to achieve static polymorphy for user interface
implementations, we now simply declare all functions to
implement in interface.h and link in the implementations.
This is possible since we no longer hace to define
interface subclasses (all state is static variables in
the interface's *.c files).
* Headers are now significantly shorter than in C++ since
we can often hide more of our "class" implementations.
* Memory counting is based on dlmalloc for most platforms now.
Unfortunately, there is no malloc implementation that
provides an efficient constant-time memory counter that
is guaranteed to decrease when freeing memory.
But since we use a defined malloc implementation now,
malloc_usable_size() can be used safely for tracking memory use.
malloc() replacement is very tricky on Windows, so we
use a poll thread on Windows. This can also be enabled
on other supported platforms using --disable-malloc-replacement.
All in all, I'm still not pleased with the state of memory
limiting. It is a mess.
* Error handling uses GError now. This has the advantage that
the GError codes can be reused once we support error catching
in the SciTECO language.
* Added a few more test suite cases.
* Haiku is no longer supported as builds are instable and
I did not manage to debug them - quite possibly Haiku bugs
were responsible.
* Glib v2.44 or later are now required.
The GTK UI requires Gtk+ v3.12 or later now.
The GtkFlowBox fallback and sciteco-wrapper workaround are
no longer required.
* We now extensively use the GCC/Clang-specific g_auto
feature (automatic deallocations when leaving the current
code block).
* Updated copyright to 2021.
SciTECO has been in continuous development, even though there
have been no commits since 2018.
* Since these changes are so significant, the target release has
been set to v2.0.
It is planned that beginning with v3.0, the language will be
kept stable.

* Autotest ships with Autoconf, so it's available already
and relatively easy to integrate into an Autotools package.
* This is attached to `make check` using some Automake magic.
* The test suite will only call the built SciTECO for the time being.
But using tests/Makefile.am, custom programs could be easily
built.
* Since it uses the target sciteco, it cannot work in cross-compile
environments.
* The test suite tests/testsuite.at should be used for regression
tests at least: Whenever there is a bug, a test case should be
added to testsuite.at.
Later this might be split up into multiple includes for regressions
other tests.
