We often want to format and print a string to a fd, usually stdout/stderr.
In general we can't use "format!", "print!", "eprint!" etc. because they don't
know about our use of WString where we encode of invalid Unicode characters
in the private use area.
Instead we use "wwrite_to_fd()".
Since we unfortunately don't have a "wformat!()" yet, we use "sprintf!()"
to create a formatted wstring to pass to "wwrite_to_fd()".
Add "printf!" and "eprintf!" to stand in for "print!" and "eprint!".
For printing to files other than stdout and stderr, keep "fwprintf!" but
drop the "w" since our "sprintf!" always produces wide strings.
Replace "fputws" with "fprintf" though we could also use "wwrite_to_fd"
if performance matters.
Unlike std::io::stdout(), we don't use locking yet.
Remaining work:
- There are more places where we use \be?print(ln)?!
Usually we print strings that are guaranteed to be valid UTF-8, but not
always. We should probably make all of them respect our WString semantics
but preferrably keep using the native Rust format strings (#9948).
- I think flog.rs currently uses String so it won't handle invalid Unicode
characters. We should probably fix this as well.
This test wants to generate a U+FDD2 to see it is not mishandled.
To do so, we tried to use sh, which on my system is bash and can do
`$'\ufdd2'`.
Unfortunately on other systems it might be dash, which won't do that.
Since I don't know of a good no-dependency portable way to generate
this (I dimly remember python3 being a shim on some systems, so I do
not want to invoke it here), we'll just use our own printf.
Which is a worse test, we control both parts, but it'll do.

These compile checks are expected to produce compiler errors on some systems.
The errors show up when there is an unrelated error, this is probably quite
confusing so fix that. Should revisit this later.
Like FLOGF!, this now needs at least one argument to format.
This avoids some issues with missing variables and broken format
strings - it is how I found 13ba5bd405 -
where disown had a format string, with two placeholders, but no
arguments to fill them with.
For use in e.g. macros, where it's otherwise hard to tell if we have
something to format or not, this adds a wgettext_maybe_fmt! version to
"maybe" format, if necessary.
In LastC++11, an empty history item means we either reached the end of history,
or the item is actually empty. The second meaning is still true. We never
append empty history items but the history file might have been modified.
Fixes#10129
Recall that universal notifiers are used to report changes to universal
variables to other shell instances. This adds a new strategy based on using
inotify to directly monitor the universal variables
file.
We have tried this in the past and abandoned it because it doesn't properly
work on some CI systems - let's try again.
This
1. Skips access() if we only have "special" permissions like the owner
that need stat
2. Does the geteuid()/getegid() *once* outside of filter_path, if we
need it
In the extreme case of `path filter --perm user,group` it will remove
3 syscalls per file.
This makes it easier to get *any pager* in the number of places we do.
Unfortunately:
1. It can't just execute the pager because that might block
2. We can't really set the necessary options for less here
so they still need to be set outside.
This
Fixes#10074
by falling back to `cat` in that case. We could also decide to abort
instead of using a non-pager, but for history that's probably fine.
