topic_monitor allows for querying changes posted to one or more topics,
initially sigchld. This will eventually replace the waitpid logic in
process_mark_finished_children().
Comment from the new header:
Topic monitoring support. Topics are conceptually "a thing that can
happen." For example, delivery of a SIGINT, a child process exits, etc. It
is possible to post to a topic, which means that that thing happened.
Associated with each topic is a current generation, which is a 64 bit
value. When you query a topic, you get back a generation. If on the next
query the generation has increased, then it indicates someone posted to
the topic.
For example, if you are monitoring a child process, you can query the
sigchld topic. If it has increased since your last query, it is possible
that your child process has exited.
Topic postings may be coalesced. That is there may be two posts to a given
topic, yet the generation only increases by 1. The only guarantee is that
after a topic post, the current generation value is larger than any value
previously queried.
Tying this all together is the topic_monitor_t. This provides the current
topic generations, and also provides the ability to perform a blocking
wait for any topic to change in a particular topic set. This is the real
power of topics: you can wait for a sigchld signal OR a thread exit.
This represents a "resolved" io_chain_t, where all of the different io_data_t
types have been reduced to a sequence of dup2() and close(). This will
eliminate a lot of the logic duplication around posix_spawn vs fork, and pave
the way for in-process redirections.

This introduces a new type features_t that exposes feature flags. The intent
is to allow a deprecation/incremental adoption path. This is not a general
purpose configuration mechanism, but instead allows for compatibility during
the transition as features are added/removed.
Each feature has a user-presentable short name and a short description. Their
values are tracked in a struct features_t.
We start with one feature stderr_nocaret, but it's not hooked up yet.
This fixes a variety of issues related to building the documentation
with CMake. In particular it cleans up the dependency management and
fixes some issues where the documentation build was using generated
files from the source directory.
As part of factoring out the documentation building parts of the fish
build, add a new file build_user_doc.sh that builds the user_doc directory.
Invoke it from both the Makefile and CMake build.
As part of factoring out the documentation building parts of the fish
build, add a new file build_index_hdr.sh that builds the index.hdr
file. Invoke it from both the Makefile and CMake build.

This adds a new script build_tools/build_lexicon_filter.sh
that builds the lexicon filter. It is factored out from the Makefile,
and both the Makefile and CMake build invoke it.
Decided to move doc_src/fish.lss to share/lynx.lss, which just makes
more sense all around. Accordingly, now using {$__fish_datadir} instead
of {$__fish_help_dir} in help.fish.
Makefile now installs the custom lss on make install
The MuParser supports the concept of multiple expressions separated by
commas. This implements support for that so that you can do things like
this:
set results (math '1+1, 4*2, 9^2')
First step in fixing issue #3157 is to check-in the source code and hook
it into our build system.
The inclusion of the MuParser source adds the MIT License to those that
apply to fish. Update our documentation to reflect that fact.
The MuParser documentation is at
http://beltoforion.de/article.php?a=muparser. The source was downloaded
from https://github.com/beltoforion/muparser/releases. It is also hosted
on Github, https://github.com/beltoforion/muparser/. I did not download
it from Github because that source contained just a couple of cleanup
changes which don't affect its behavior.
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
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.
We've needed a fishy way to parse flags and arguments given to scripts
and functions for a very long time. In particular a manner that provides
the same behavior implemented by builtin commands. The long term goal is
to support DocOpt. But since it is unclear when that will happen so this
implements a `argparse` command. So named as homage to the excellent
Python module of the same name.
Fixes#4190
The new '-C' initial command needs some tests, and as there are no
tests just yet for the command invocation, this change adds a harness
and calls it from the high-level tests in the Makefile.
The tests are similar in style to the other high level tests, in that
we capture the output and compare it to that which we expect. The
harness itself is written in bash - sorry - because we're testing the
fish shell's invocation, and trying to do that with the fish we've
just built wouldn't actually make for a very useful test when things
go wrong.
The 'tests/invocation.sh' script can be executed manually, or as part
of the 'make test' target, to make it easy to use both as part of the
development and as part of automation.
The harness has only been tested on linux with bash 4.3.11, and requires
grep and sed. Although not tested with OS X, I believe I have avoided
the syntax which is inconsistent.
The tests added here cover just the initial command's basic execution,
and when it is mixed with the regular '-c' command.
