patch 9.0.1871: Github CI does not run i386 job Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/a4245a10eacac614dc833a2721cd7c0376627ec8 Author: James McCoy <jamessan@jamessan.com> Date: Tue Sep 5 07:41:23 2023 +0200 patch 9.0.1871: Github CI does not run i386 job Problem: Github CI does not run i386 job Solution: Add a i386 architecture Add CI testing for i386 message_test recently failed on i386, which exposed a gap in the CI testing. Convert the shadowdir job to one that runs on i386 so we get 32-bit test coverage. Since the GHA runners are x86_64, we can enable the i386 architecture in dpkg and install i386 packages for the i386 CI jobs. However, this can't currently be done with features=huge since that would require installing python3-dev:i386, which breaks the CI environment. closes: #12975 Signed-off-by: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> Co-authored-by: James McCoy <jamessan@jamessan.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	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	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	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.
