patch 9.0.1898: Vim9: restrict access to static vars Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/c30a90d9b2c029f794cea502f6b824f71e4876dd Author: Yegappan Lakshmanan <yegappan@yahoo.com> Date: Fri Sep 15 20:14:55 2023 +0200 patch 9.0.1898: Vim9: restrict access to static vars Problem: Vim9: restrict access to static vars and methods Solution: Class members are accesible only from the class where they are defined. Based on the #13004 discussion, the following changes are made: 1) Static variables and methods are accessible only using the class name and inside the class where they are defined. 2) Static variables and methods can be used without the class name in the class where they are defined. 3) Static variables of a super class are not copied to the sub class. 4) A sub class can declare a class variable with the same name as the super class. 5) When a method or member is found during compilation, use more specific error messages. This aligns the Vim9 class variable/method implementation with the Dart implementation. Also while at it, ignore duplicate class and object methods. The access level of an object method can however be changed in a subclass. For the tests, use the new CheckSourceFailure() function instead of the CheckScriptFailure() function in the tests. closes: #13086 Signed-off-by: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> Co-authored-by: Yegappan Lakshmanan <yegappan@yahoo.com>

README_ami.txt for version 9.0 of Vim: Vi IMproved.

This file explains the installation of Vim on Amiga systems.
See README.txt for general information about Vim.


Unpack the distributed files in the place where you want to keep them.  It is
wise to have a "vim" directory to keep your vimrc file and any other files you
change.  The distributed files go into a subdirectory.  This way you can
easily upgrade to a new version.  For example:

  dh0:editors/vim		contains your vimrc and modified files
  dh0:editors/vim/vim54		contains the Vim version 5.4 distributed files
  dh0:editors/vim/vim55		contains the Vim version 5.5 distributed files

You would then unpack the archives like this:

  cd dh0:editors
  tar xf t:vim90bin.tar
  tar xf t:vim90rt.tar

Set the $VIM environment variable to point to the top directory of your Vim
files.  For the above example:

  set VIM=dh0:editors/vim

Vim version 5.4 will look for your vimrc file in $VIM, and for the runtime
files in $VIM/vim54.  See ":help $VIM" for more information.

Make sure the Vim executable is in your search path.  Either copy the Vim
executable to a directory that is in your search path, or (preferred) modify
the search path to include the directory where the Vim executable is.
