When building from source, there is a warning:
../doc_src/cmds/string-match.rst:13: WARNING: Inline emphasis
start-string without end-string.
One fix appears to be putting a space after the epmhasized 'n' character,
e.g., `*n* th` instead of `*n*th`.
When globbing, we have a base directory (typically $PWD) and a path
component relative to that. As PWD is "virtual" it may be a symlink. Prior
to this change we would use wrealpath to resolve symlinks before opening
the directory during a glob, but this call to wrealpath consumed roughly
half of the time during globbing, and is conceptually unnecessary as
opendir will resolve symlinks for us.
Remove it. This may have funny effects if the user's PWD is an unlinked
directory, but it roughly doubles the speed of a glob like `echo ~/**`.
This adds the ability to limit how many expansions are produced. For
example if $big contains 10 items, and is Cartesian-expanded as
$big$big$big$big... 10 times, we would naviely get 10^10 = 10 billion
results, which fish can't actually handle. Implement this in
completion_receiver_t, which now can return false to indicate an overflow.
The initial expansion limit 'k_default_expansion_limit' is set as 512k
items. There's no way for users to change this at present.
This switches certain uses from just appending to a list to using
completion_receiver_t, in preparation for limiting how many completions
may be produced. Perhaps in time this could also be used for "streaming"
completions.
completion_receiver_t wraps a completion list; it will centralize logic
around adding completions and most importantly it will enforce that we
do not exceed our expansion limit.
The pager cleanup missed that the existing token could already include active (as in unescaped) expansions, and just escaped them all.
This means things like `ls ~/<TAB>` would escape the `~`, which is obviously wrong and makes it awkward to use.
This reverts commit b38a23a46d.
I fully expect that we'll try again, but there's no use in keeping master broken while that happens.
Fixes#7526.
E.g. if we do `string match -q`, and we find a match, nothing about
the input can change anything, so we quit early.
This is mainly useful for performance, but it also allows `string`
with `-q` to be used with infinite input (e.g. `yes`).
Alternative to #7495.
warn_unused_result is the persistent one that won't go away with a
simple `(void)write(...)` and needs to be assigned to a variable (that
must then also be declared unused or else you'll get a warning about
_that_).
"smartcase" performs case-insensitive matching if the input string is all
lowercase, and case-sensitive matching otherwise. When completing e.g.
files, we will now show both case sensitive and insensitive completions if
the input string does not contain uppercase characters.
This is a delicate fix in an interactive component with low test coverage.
It's likely something will regress here.
Fixes#3978
This is an attempt to simplfy some completion logic. It mainly refactors
reader_data_t::handle_completions such that all completions have the token
prepended; this attempts to simplify the logic since now all completions
replace the token. It also changes how the pager prefix works. Previously
the pager prefix was an extra string that was prepended to all
completions. In the new model the completions already have the prefix
prepended and the prefix is used only for certain width calculations.
This is a somewhat frightening change in an interactive component with
low test coverage. It tweaks things like how long completions are
ellipsized. Buckle in!
In preparation for introducing "smart case", refactor string fuzzy
matching. Specifically split out the case folding and match type into
separate fields, so that we can introduce more case folding types without
a combinatoric explosion.
This is used to decide which fuzzy match is better, however it is used
only in wildcard expansion and not in actual completion ranking or
anywhere else where it could matter. Try removing the compare() call
and implementation.
What compare() did specially was compare distances, e.g. it ranks
lib as better than libexec when expanding /u/l/b. But the tests did not
exercise this so it's hard to know if it's working. In preparation for a
refactoring, remove it.
When fish presents an autosuggestion, there is some logic around whether
to retain it or discard it as the user types "into" it. Prior to this
change, we would retain the autosuggestion if the user's input text is a
case-insensitive prefix of the autosuggestion. This is reasonable for
certain case-insensitive autosuggestions like files, but it is confusing
especially for history items, e.g. `git branch -d ...` and `git branch -D
...` should not be considered a match.
With this change, when we compute the autosuggestion we record whether it
is "icase", and that controls whether the autosuggestion permits a
case-insensitive extension.
This addresses part of #3978.
Just copy that "find an executable" code we already have,
the one that was commented with "oh, btw, distutils.spawn.find_executable is bad",
and use it here as well.
Work towards #7514.
