Instead, attempt to extract the message that _would_ be displayed on
execution of `./configure --help` by relying on some markers present in
autoconf-generated configure files.
As measured with 'hyperfine' on a laptop running in reduced frequency
power savings mode, `fish -c "__fish_parse_configure ./configure"`
runtime dropped from ~1.25s to ~0.8ms, which is inline with the
previously observed ~350ms execution time for `./configure --help`.
fish's own startup time is approximately 75ms before parsing begins.
Still very slow, but much better.
This relies on the new `read --line/-L` support as an entire parser for
the output of `./configure --help` was written in fishscript. Also
doesn't work without 72f32e6d8a7905b064680ec4b578c41dea62bf84.
The completion script is slow... a function of both the autotools
configure script itself being written in a shell script combined with a
fishscript output parser.
fish's own `./configure --help` takes around 350ms to execute, while
`__fish_parse_configure ./configure` (which runs that behind the scenes)
takes around 660ms to run, all-in-all - a not insignificant overhead.
Output can be cached (based off of ./configure hash or mtime) in the
future if this is a big deal.
Now the description includes the variable scope, `set [-e] -[Ugl]`
completions only provide variables matching that scope, and completions
that shouldn't be modified are hidden from the user. Completions that
are often modified but rarely unset (`fish_*` variables) are omitted
from `set -e` completions.
A new helper function `__fish_seen_argument` has been added that makes
it easy to only provied completions for a specific flag.
Launch `cmd.exe /c "start URL"` under WSL for both `fish_config` and
`help`. This works around #4299 but does not address the underlying
issue (#1132).
no-op function for compatibility with sh, bash, and others.
Often used to insert a comment into a chain of commands without having
it eat up the remainder of the line, handy in Makefiles.
In similar vein to how fish_default_key_bindings works, parameters
passed to the function are automatically passed to bind upstream.
Additionally, -s is automatically added if no parameters had been
specified to prevent startup error messages. See 46d1334.
Closes#4494
Can be used to retrieve a list of parent paths, useful for searching
ancestors recursively via their absolute paths. Paths are returned from
deepest to shallowest, starting from the path passed in. Paths are not
validated for performance reasons. (Usually the input to
__fish_parent_directories would be (pwd) or (dir $file).)
* Add eopkg support
Add support for eopkg in __fish_print_packages function, and
add new completion eopkg.fish in share/completions
* Sorry for the empty file
* Sorry for the empty file again
* Use builtin function for checking subcommand and options
* Fix description
* Use string function to replace grep and cut
* Add completion for search command
This was caused by it prepending "-s" to argv always,
and later checking $argv[1].
As it turns out, that is kinda superfluous, so we can just add "-s" to
the `bind` calls.
Also adjust the tests so the vi-bindings are enabled via the function,
which would have caught this.
Fixes#4494.
