patch 9.1.0142: getregion() can be improved Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/19b718828d8d5fab52d94c6cdba694641879ab38 Author: Shougo Matsushita <Shougo.Matsu@gmail.com> Date: Wed Feb 28 22:48:12 2024 +0100 patch 9.1.0142: getregion() can be improved Problem: getregion() can be improved (after v9.1.120) Solution: change getregion() implementation to use pos as lists and one optional {opt} dictionary (Shougo Matsushita) Note: The following is a breaking change! Currently, the getregion() function (included as of patch v9.1.120) takes 3 arguments: the first 2 arguments are strings, describing a position, arg3 is the type string. However, that is slightly inflexible, there is no way to specify additional arguments. So let's instead change the function signature to: getregion(pos1, pos2 [, {Dict}]) where both pos1 and pos2 are lists. This is slightly cleaner, and gives us the flexibility to specify additional arguments as key/value pairs to the optional Dict arg. Now it supports the "type" key to specify the selection type (characterwise, blockwise or linewise) and now in addition one can also define the selection type, independently of what the 'selection' option actually is. Technically, this is a breaking change, but since the getregion() Vimscript function is still quite new, this should be fine. closes: #14090 Co-authored-by: zeertzjq <zeertzjq@outlook.com> Signed-off-by: Shougo Matsushita <Shougo.Matsu@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org>

/////////////////////////////////////////
// Handling of the state stack cache.

/*
 * EXPLANATION OF THE SYNTAX STATE STACK CACHE
 *
 * To speed up syntax highlighting, the state stack for the start of some
 * lines is cached.  These entries can be used to start parsing at that point.
 *
 * The stack is kept in b_sst_array[] for each buffer.  There is a list of
 * valid entries.  b_sst_first points to the first one, then follow sst_next.
 * The entries are sorted on line number.  The first entry is often for line 2
 * (line 1 always starts with an empty stack).
 * There is also a list for free entries.  This construction is used to avoid
 * having to allocate and free memory blocks too often.
 *
 * When making changes to the buffer, this is logged in b_mod_*.  When calling
 * update_screen() to update the display, it will call
 * syn_stack_apply_changes() for each displayed buffer to adjust the cached
 * entries.  The entries which are inside the changed area are removed,
 * because they must be recomputed.  Entries below the changed have their line
 * number adjusted for deleted/inserted lines, and have their sst_change_lnum
 * set to indicate that a check must be made if the changed lines would change
 * the cached entry.
 *
 * When later displaying lines, an entry is stored for each line.  Displayed
 * lines are likely to be displayed again, in which case the state at the
 * start of the line is needed.
 * For not displayed lines, an entry is stored for every so many lines.  These
 * entries will be used e.g., when scrolling backwards.  The distance between
 * entries depends on the number of lines in the buffer.  For small buffers
 * the distance is fixed at SST_DIST, for large buffers there is a fixed
 * number of entries SST_MAX_ENTRIES, and the distance is computed.
