Let's hope this doesn't causes build failures for e.g. musl: I just
know it's good on macOS and our Linux CI.
It's been a long time.
One fix this brings, is I discovered we #include assert.h or cassert
in a lot of places. If those ever happen to be in a file that doesn't
include common.h, or we are before common.h gets included, we're
unawaringly working with the system 'assert' macro again, which
may get disabled for debug builds or at least has different
behavior on crash. We undef 'assert' and redefine it in common.h.
Those were all eliminated, except in one catch-22 spot for
maybe.h: it can't include common.h. A fix might be to
make a fish_assert.h that *usually* common.h exports.
If the user types something like `/**`, prior to this change we would
attempt to expand it in the background for both highlighting and
autosuggestions. This could thrash your disk and also consume a lot of
memory.
Add a a field to operation_context_t to allow specifying a limit, and add
a "default background" limit of 512 items.
This commit recognizes an existing pattern: many operations need some
combination of a set of variables, a way to detect cancellation, and
sometimes a parser. For example, tab completion needs a parser to execute
custom completions, the variable set, should cancel on SIGINT. Background
autosuggestions don't need a parser, but they do need the variables and
should cancel if the user types something new. Etc.
This introduces a new triple operation_context_t that wraps these concepts
up. This simplifies many method signatures and argument passing.
