Option lists and maps are specified using separate arguments, avoiding
the need for additional escaping of their separator and reusing the
existing command line spliting logic instead.
As discussed on #2087, this should make it much easier to work with
list options, and make the general option system feel cleaner.
Command line parsing now works as follow:
* Quoted strings ('...', "..." and %~...~ with '~' non nestable)
use 'doubling-up' for escaping their delimiter, if the delimiter
appears twice in a row, it is considered as part of the string and
represent one delimiter character. So 'abc''def' == "abc'def". No
other escaping takes place in those strings.
* Balanced strings (%{...}) do not support any kind of escaping, but
finds the matching closing delimiter by taking nesting into account.
So %{abc{def}} == "abc{def}".
* Non quoted words support escaping of `;` and whitespaces with `\`,
`%`, `'` and '"` can be escaped with `\` at the start of the word,
they do not need escaping (and will not be escaped) else where in
a word where they are treated literally. Any other use of '\' is a
literal '\'. So \%abc%\;\ def == "%abc%; def"
As discussed in #2046 this should make our command line syntax more
robust, provide a simple programmatic way to escape a string content
(s/<delim>/<delim><delim>/g), be well defined instead of ad-hoc
undocumented behaviour, and interact nicely with other common
escaping by avoiding escaping hell (:grep <regex> can in most case
be written with the regex unquoted).
Automatic reparsing of %sh{...}, while convenient in many cases,
can be surprising as well, and can lead to security problems:
'echo %sh{ printf "foo\necho bar" }' runs 'echo foo', then 'echo bar'.
we make this danger explicit, and we fix the 'nop %sh{...}' pattern.
To reparse %sh{...} strings, they can be passed to evaluate-commands,
which has been fixed to work in every cases where %sh{...} reparsing
was used..
Seems to work on openbsd 6.3-current but needs more testing. Had to
hardcode the binary path as openbsd considers getting the executable
path at runtime a security flaw.
Window can be resized with an "offset_pos" flag, which means that
the resize took place on the top left corner of the window, leading
to a change in current window position. This is treated as temporary
and the position change is stored in a m_position_offset field.
That allows the ncurses UI to offset the position when it displays
a Search menu, so that the window does not constantly scroll when
the search menu open/closes. The window will only scroll if it needs
to in order to keep the main selectin visible.
We cannot guarantee after an itersel that selections are going to
still be in ascending order, but we were calling a SelectionList
constructor that was assuming this was the case.
Pure clients never quitted when they got SIGHUP after recent changes
to add is_ok to UserInterface. run_client now tracks the UI state as
well and quits if the UI gets killed.
Doing that clears m_buffer_trash, deleting buffers contained there,
but we are not ready to have Buffer destructors running yet as we
did not clear the ClientManager, meaning we might have free windows
pointing to buffers in the buffer trash.
