patch 9.0.1979: Cirrus CI disabled Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/317468aaceb48e136ed7e3fa6d233345fd5360c6 Author: zeertzjq <zeertzjq@outlook.com> Date: Wed Oct 4 19:57:35 2023 +0200 patch 9.0.1979: Cirrus CI disabled Problem: Cirrus CI disabled Solution: re-enable Cirrus CI Ref patch 9.0.1912: > Perhaps at the beginning of the next month we can revisit and enable > just a build without testing it. Hopefully this is won't take too > many credits and we can at least verify that building works. Actually enabling testing should be fine. In the last month there were three Cirrus CI jobs and credits ran out on Sep 15, but now there is only one Cirrus CI job, so credits shouldn't run out. closes: #13261 Signed-off-by: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> Co-authored-by: zeertzjq <zeertzjq@outlook.com>

94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	11 ## 1. FASTER VIM SCRIPT
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	12
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	13 The third item on the poll results of 2018, after popup windows and text

cc751d944b7e Update runtime files. Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: 25700 diff changeset	15 So how do we do that?
19181 94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	16
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	17 I have been throwing some ideas around, and soon came to the conclusion
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	18 that the current way functions are called and executed, with
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	19 dictionaries for the arguments and local variables, is never going to be
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	20 very fast. We're lucky if we can make it twice as fast. The overhead
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	21 of a function call and executing every line is just too high.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	22
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	23 So what then? We can only make something fast by having a new way of
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	24 defining a function, with similar but different properties of the old
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	25 way:
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	26 * Arguments are only available by name, not through the a: dictionary or

94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	28 * Local variables are not available in an l: dictionary.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	29 * A few more things that slow us down, such as exception handling details.

94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	80 How does Vim9 script work? The function is first compiled into a sequence of
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	81 instructions. Each instruction has one or two parameters and a stack is
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	82 used to store intermediate results. Local variables are also on the
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	83 stack, space is reserved during compilation. This is a fairly normal
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	84 way of compilation into an intermediate format, specialized for Vim,
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	85 e.g. each stack item is a typeval_T. And one of the instructions is
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	86 "execute Ex command", for commands that are not compiled.

22565 17c4178f26ea Update runtime files. Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: 21825 diff changeset	89 ## 2. DEPRIORITIZE INTERFACES
19181 94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	90
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	91 Attempts have been made to implement functionality with built-in script
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	92 languages such as Python, Perl, Lua, Tcl and Ruby. This never gained much
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	93 foothold, for various reasons.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	94
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	95 Instead of using script language support in Vim:
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	96 * Encourage implementing external tools in any language and communicate
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	97 with them. The job and channel support already makes this possible.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	98 Really any language can be used, also Java and Go, which are not
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	99 available built-in.
21676 1b345fb68ae3 Update runtime files. Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: 19181 diff changeset	100 * No priority for the built-in language interfaces. They will have to be kept
1b345fb68ae3 Update runtime files. Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: 19181 diff changeset	101 for backwards compatibility, but many users won't need a Vim build with these
1b345fb68ae3 Update runtime files. Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: 19181 diff changeset	102 interfaces.
19181 94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	103 * Improve the Vim script language, it is used to communicate with the external
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	104 tool and implements the Vim side of the interface. Also, it can be used when
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	105 an external tool is undesired.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	106
21825 0db0640e16e0 Update runtime files. Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: 21676 diff changeset	107 Altogether this creates a clear situation: Vim with the +eval feature
19181 94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	108 will be sufficient for most plugins, while some plugins require
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	109 installing a tool that can be written in any language. No confusion
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	110 about having Vim but the plugin not working because some specific
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	111 language is missing. This is a good long term goal.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	112
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	113 Rationale: Why is it better to run a tool separately from Vim than using a
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	114 built-in interface and interpreter? Take for example something that is
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	115 written in Python:
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	116 * The built-in interface uses the embedded python interpreter. This is less
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	117 well maintained than the python command. Building Vim with it requires
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	118 installing developer packages. If loaded dynamically there can be a version
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	119 mismatch.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	120 * When running the tool externally the standard python command can be used,
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	121 which is quite often available by default or can be easily installed.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	122 * The built-in interface has an API that is unique for Vim with Python. This is
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	123 an extra API to learn.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	124 * A .py file can be compiled into a .pyc file and execute much faster.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	125 * Inside Vim multi-threading can cause problems, since the Vim core is single
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	126 threaded. In an external tool there are no such problems.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	127 * The Vim part is written in .vim files, the Python part is in .py files, this
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	128 is nicely separated.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	129 * Disadvantage: An interface needs to be made between Vim and Python.
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	130 JSON is available for this, and it's fairly easy to use. But it still

94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	139 In other words: "less weird". Making it work more like modern

94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	142 A good example is how in a function the arguments are prefixed with
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	143 "a:". No other language I know does that, so let's drop it.

19181 94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	152 It should be possible to convert code from other languages to Vim
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	153 script. We can add functionality to make this easier. This still needs
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	154 to be discussed, but we can consider adding type checking and a simple
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	155 form of classes. If you look at JavaScript for example, it has gone
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	156 through these stages over time, adding real class support and now
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	157 TypeScript adds type checking. But we'll have to see how much of that
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	158 we actually want to include in Vim script. Ideally a conversion tool
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	159 can take Python, JavaScript or TypeScript code and convert it to Vim

94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	163 mechanisms that are commonly known, ideally with the same syntax. One
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	164 thing I have been thinking of is assignments without ":let". I often
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	165 make that mistake (after writing JavaScript especially). I think it is
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	166 possible, if we make local variables shadow commands. That should be OK,
94eda51ba9ba patch 8.2.0149: maintaining a Vim9 branch separately is more work Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> parents: diff changeset	167 if you shadow a command you want to use, just rename the variable.
