We identify when the universal variable file has changed out from under us by
comparing a bunch of fields from its stat: inode, device, size, high-precision
timestamp, generation. Linux aggressively reuses inodes, and the size may be
the same by coincidence (which is the case in the tests). Also, Linux
officially has nanosecond precision, but in practice it seems to only uses
millisecond precision for storing mtimes. Thus if there are three or more
updates within a millisecond, every field we check may be the same, and we are
vulnerable to the ABA problem. I believe this explains the occasional test
failures.
The solution is to manually set the nanosecond field of the mtime timestamp to
something unlikely to be duplicated, like a random number, or better yet, the
current time (with nanosecond precision). This is more in the spirit of the
timestamp, and it means we're around a million times less likely to collide.
This seems to fix the tests.
Currently if there is a conflict with two manpages having the same
name, one completion will override the other. But if one can be parsed
and the other can't the one with parsed results will always have a
higher priority.
It seems smart to only let files be parsed that are clearly
manpage files. Other files wouldn't be openend by man so
I think it is safe to guess that only these files are man
pages.
input_mapping_execute, when passed false for allow_commands, will return
R_NULL. However currently it does this unconditionally, even if we don't
have any commands. This defeats our read-ahead optimization, so we
always read and process one byte at a time. This caused pasting to be
much slower.

If we are cd'ing into a directory, and the directory has only one
child which is itself a directory, the autosuggestion should
descend as far as it can.
Fixes#2531
Allows the length of each shortened path component to be customized by setting the `fish_prompt_pwd_dir_length` variable to the number of characters to include (plus a leading dot because that's special). Maintains the default behavior of shortening path components to just one character. You can also set `fish_prompt_pwd_dir_length` to an empty or invalid value or 0 to disable shortening completely.
Previously 'set -ql' would only look for variables in the
immediate local scope. This was not very useful. It's also
arguably surprising, since a 'set -l' in a function, followed
by a 'set -ql' in a child block, would fail. There was also no
way to check for a function-scoped variable, since omitting the
scope would also pull in global variables.
We could revisit this and introduce an explicit function scope.
Fixes#2502
This isn't pretty, but it fails for, as far as I can see, no _real_
reason.
It doesn't seem to be possible to trigger the failure in real usage, no
matter how fast you press the ESC key followed by something else.
So now this is known and constant travis emails don't help it in any way.
New implementation of migration code within the history_t class will
copy the contents of the old fish_history found in the config directory
to its new location in the data directory. The old file is left intact.
This is done only in the event that a fish_history is not already found in
the data directory ($XDG_DATA_HOME/fish or ~/.local/share/fish).
The fish_history file is now located in the "data"
directory ($XDG_DATA_HOME/fish or ~/.local/share/fish),
accessible using the function `path_get_data`.
(This commit also cleans trailing whitespace in the source file.)
Add new functions path_get_data and path_create_data which parallel existing
functions path_get_config and path_create_data. The new functions refer to
XDG_DATA_HOME, if it is defined, or ./local/share if not.
Modify history_filename to use the new function path_get_data.
As a consequence, fish_history will now be located in XDG_DATA_HOME,
not XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
Note that these changes mirror what is already used in
fish-shell/share/tools/create_manpage_completions.py, which stores the
completions in XDG_DATA_HOME
This change matches recommendations in the xdg basedir spec at
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.7.html
($XDG_DATA_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user specific data
files should be stored. If $XDG_DATA_HOME is either not set or empty, a default
equal to $HOME/.local/share should be used.)
It addresses suggestions from the following issues:
1. Don't put history in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME (closes#744)
https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/744
2. Fish is placing non-config files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME #1257https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/1257
3. Move non-config data out of $XDG_CONFIG_HOME #1669https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/1669
This reduces code duplication and adds some previously unavailable
bindings that don't quite _violate_ the vi-principle (like
prevd-or-backward-word on alt-left) and matches other "impure" bindings
like \cf for forward-word (a quite emacs-ish binding) we already have.

For cygwin, you can't `cd C:`, so a prompt of "C:/Something" is
misleading.
For OSX, we dereference symlinks elsewhere
This also simplifies prompt_pwd quite a bit.
