Internally fish should store vars as a vector of elements. The current
flat string representation is a holdover from when the code was written
in C.
Fixes#4200
Make the `env_var_t::missing_var()` object a singleton rather than a
dynamically constructed object. This requires some discipline in its use
since C++ doesn't directly support immutable objects. But it is slightly
more efficient and helps identify code that incorrectly mutates `env_var_t`
objects that should not be modified.
It's bugged me forever that the scope is the second arg to `env_get()`
but not `env_set()`. And since I'll be introducing some helper functions
that wrap `env_set()` now is a good time to change the order of its
arguments.
My previous change to eliminate `class var_entry_t` caused me to notice
that `env_get()` turned a set but empty var into a missing var. Which
is wrong. Fixing that brought to light several other pieces of code that
were wrong as a consequence of the aforementioned bug.
Another step to fixing issue #4200.
This is the first step to implementing issue #4200 is to stop subclassing
env_var_t from wcstring. Not too surprisingly doing this identified
several places that were incorrectly treating env_var_t and wcstring as
interchangeable types. I'm not talking about those places that passed
an env_var_t instance to a function that takes a wcstring. I'm talking
about doing things like assigning the former to the latter type, relying
on the implicit conversion, and thus losing information.
We also rename `env_get_string()` to `env_get()` for symmetry with
`env_set()` and to make it clear the function does not return a string.
Rewrite the `abbr` function to store each abbreviation in a separate
variable. This greatly improves the efficiency. For the common case
it is 5x faster. For pathological cases it is upwards of 100x faster.
Most people should be able to unconditionally define abbreviations in
their config.fish without a noticable slow down.
Fixes#4048
When executing a function, local-exported (`set -lx`) variables
previously were not accessible at all. This is weird e.g. in case of
aliases, since
```fish
set -lx PAGER cat
git something # which will call $PAGER
```
would not work if `git` were a function, even if that ends up calling
`command git`.
Now, we copy these variables, so functions get a local-exported copy.
```fish
function x
echo $var
set var wurst
echo $var
end
set -lx var banana
x # prints "banana" and "wurst"
echo $var # prints "banana"
```
One weirdness here is that, if a variable is both local and global,
the local-copy takes precedence:
```fish
set -gx var banana
set -lx var pineapple
echo $var # prints "pineapple"
x # from above, prints "pineapple" and "wurst"
echo $var # still prints "pineapple"
set -el var # deletes local version
echo $var # "banana" again
```
I don't think there is any more consistent way to handle this - the
local version is the one that is accessed first, so it should also be
written to first.
Global-exported variables are _not_ copied, instead they still offer
full read-write access.
In the rare case that we don't inherit $HOME _and_ can't read it from
/etc/passwd, this makes it so instead of triggering an assert() $HOME
is set to the empty list.
Tilde-expansion expands to nothing in such a case (and a string-empty
$HOME), `cd` errors out.
Fixes#4229.
Fish 2.6.0 introduced a regression that keeps setting
`fish_escape_delay_ms` as a uvar from working. This also fixes a related
problem: callbacks generated from the initial loading of universal vars
were not being acted on.
Fixes#4196
This fixes a stupid bug in my previous commit to standardize on a new
`list_to_array_val()` function. This adds a unit test to keep this from
regressing.
This is the first step in implementing a better abstraction for handling
fish script vars in the C++ code. It implements a new function (with two
signatures) to provide a standard method for construct the flag string
representation of a fish script array.
Partial fix for #4200
Don't import the bash history if the user has specified that a non-default
fish history file should be used. Also, rename the var that specifies
the fish history session ID from `FISH_HISTFILE` to `FISH_HISTORY`.
Fixes#4172
Using the FISH_HISTFILE variable will let people customise the session
to use for the history file. The resulting history file is:
`$XDG_DATA_HOME/fish/name_history`
Where `name` is the name of the session. The default value is `fish`
which results in the current history file.
If it's set to an empty string, the history will not be stored to a
file.
Fixes#102
Switch from null terminated arrays to `wcstring_list_t` for lists of
special env var names. Rename `list_contains_string` to `contains` and
modify the latter interface to not rely on a `#define`.
Rename `list_contains_string()` to `contains()` and eliminate the
current variadic implementation. Update all callers of the removed
version to use the string list version.
There are at least three env vars describing a sequence of paths to be
searched where an empty path element is implicitly equivalent to ".".
This change converts the implicit "." to explicit whenever the variable
is imported or set. This makes the variable much easier to use in fish
scripts.
Fixes#3914
There should be just one place that calls `setupterm()`. While refactoring
the code I also decided to not make initializing the curses subsystem a
fatal error. We now try two fallback terminal names ("ansi" and "dumb")
and if those can't be used we still end up with a usable shell.
Fixes#3850
I recently upgraded the software on my macOS server and was dismayed to
see that cppcheck reported a huge number of format string errors due to
mismatches between the format string and its arguments from calls to
`assert()`. It turns out they are due to the macOS header using `%lu`
for the line number which is obviously wrong since it is using the C
preprocessor `__LINE__` symbol which evaluates to a signed int.
I also noticed that the macOS implementation writes to stdout, rather
than stderr. It also uses `printf()` which can be a problem on some
platforms if the stream is already in wide mode which is the normal case
for fish.
So implement our own `assert()` implementation. This also eliminates
double-negative warnings that we get from some of our calls to
`assert()` on some platforms by oclint.
Also reimplement the `DIE()` macro in terms of our internal
implementation.
Rewrite `assert(0 && msg)` statements to `DIE(msg)` for clarity and to
eliminate oclint warnings about constant expressions.
Fixes#3276, albeit not in the fashion I originally envisioned.
This puts a hard upper bound of 10 MiB on the amount of data that read
will consume. This is to avoid having the shell consume an unreasonable
amount of memory, possibly causing the system to enter a OOM condition,
if the user does something non-sensical.
Fixes#3712
Cache the escape sequences we've seen when checking for those which
don't take any visual space when writing the prompt or similar strings.
This reduces the cost of determining the true cost of such strings by a
full order of magnitude if they include lots of such escape sequences.
Periodically sort the cached escape sequence lengths based on feedback
from cache hits so that we're always checking for the most likely
sequence lengths first.
Also cache the prompt layouts to avoid doing the calculations if the
prompt doesn't change.
Fixes#3793
If the kernel reports a size of zero for the rows or columns (i.e., what
`stty -a` reports) fall back to the `COLUMNS` and `LINES` variables. If
the resulting values are not reasonable fallback to using 80x24.
Fixes#3740
