patch 9.0.1835: Perl interface has problems with load PL_current_context Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/7a9d1aa878d8724e28893b968016b86a3a70c63f Author: Yee Cheng Chin <ychin.git@gmail.com> Date: Fri Sep 1 18:46:17 2023 +0200 patch 9.0.1835: Perl interface has problems with load PL_current_context Problem: Perl interface has problems with load PL_current_context Solution: Fix Perl interface to load PL_current_context from library In #12914, in order to fix an issue with Perl 5.36 dynamic builds, (that version introduced a thread-local `PL_current_context`), the file added the variable manually so we can satisfy the linker. However, the variable is a different one from the one in the library, so there could be unpredictable behavior. Instead, just use `dlsym` to load the context from the library. The fact that it's thread-local doesn't matter too much to us because Vim's interface is single-threaded so it will work properly. closes: #12996 Signed-off-by: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> Co-authored-by: Yee Cheng Chin <ychin.git@gmail.com>

The files in this directory come from the xdiff implementation in git.
You can find it here: https://github.com/git/git/tree/master/xdiff
The files were last updated March 17, 2023 from git release v.2.40.0

This is originally based on libxdiff, which can be found here:
http://www.xmailserver.org/xdiff-lib.html

The git version was used because it has been maintained and improved.
And since it's part of git it is expected to be reliable.

The code is distributed under the GNU LGPL license.  It is included in the
COPYING file.

Changes in these files were made to avoid compiler warnings.

The /* */ comments are kept to make syncing to a newer version easier, do not
change them to // comments!

The first work for including xdiff in Vim was done by Christian Brabandt.
