Problem: Command line history code is spread out.
Solution: Put the code in a new file. (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closes#4779)
Also graduate the +cmdline_hist feature.
Problem: ATTENTION prompt for a preview popup window.
Solution: Close the popup window if aborting the buffer load. Avoid getting
the ATTENTION dialog.
Problem: The preview popup window may be too far to the right.
Solution: Keep it inside the screen. Also keep the close button and
scrollbar visible if possible.
Problem: Viminfo support is spread out.
Solution: Move more viminfo code to viminfo.c. (Yegappan Lakshmanan,
closes#4717) Reorder code to make most functions static.
Problem: Alloc() returning "char_u *" causes a lot of type casts.
Solution: Have it return "void *". (Mike Williams) Define ALLOC_ONE() to
check the simple allocations.
Problem: Using "int" for alloc() often results in compiler warnings.
Solution: Use "size_t" and remove type casts. Remove alloc_check(), Vim
only works with 32 bit ints anyway.
Problem: Cannot recover from a swap file.
Solution: Do not expand environment variables in the swap file name.
Do not check the extension when we already know a file is a swap
file. (Ken Takata, closes 4415, closes#4369)
Problem: Buffer left 'nomodifiable' after :substitute. (Ingo Karkat)
Solution: Save the value of 'modifiable' earlier' (Christian Brabandt,
closes#4403)
Problem: Text properties don't always move after changes.
Solution: Update properties before reporting changes to listeners. Move text
property when splitting a line.
Problem: Borland support is outdated and doesn't work.
Solution: Remove Borland support, there are other (free) compilers
available. (Thomas Dziedzic, Ken Takata, closes#4364)
Problem: Ex command info contains confusing information.
Solution: When using the NOTADR flag use ADDR_OTHER for the address type.
Cleanup code using NOTADR. Check for errors in
create_cmdidxs.vim. Adjust Makefile to see the errors.
Problem: Asking about existing swap file unnecessarily.
Solution: When it is safe, delete the swap file. Remove
HAS_SWAP_EXISTS_ACTION, it is always defined. (closes#1237)
Problem: MS-Windows: No color in shell when using "!" in 'guioptions.
Solution: Don't stop termcap when using a terminal window for the shell.
(vim-jp, closes#4117)
Problem: Sorting large numbers is not tested and does not work properly.
Solution: Add test. Fix comparing lines with and without a number.
(Dominique Pelle, closes#4017)
Problem: Macros for MS-Windows are inconsistent, using "32", "3264 and
others.
Solution: Use MSWIN for all MS-Windows builds. Use FEAT_GUI_MSWIN for the
GUI build. (Hirohito Higashi, closes#3932)
Problem: Can execute shell commands in rvim through interfaces.
Solution: Disable using interfaces in restricted mode. Allow for writing
file with writefile(), histadd() and a few others.
Problem: Cannot have a local value for 'scrolloff' and 'sidescrolloff'.
(Gary Holloway)
Solution: Make 'scrolloff' and 'sidescrolloff' global-local. (mostly by
Aron Widforss, closes#3539)
Problem: Giving error messages is not flexible.
Solution: Add semsg(). Change argument from "char_u *" to "char *", also
for msg() and get rid of most MSG macros. (Ozaki Kiichi, closes
#3302) Also make emsg() accept a "char *" argument. Get rid of
an enormous number of type casts.
Problem: Functionality for signs is spread out over several files.
Solution: Move most of the sign functionality into sign.c. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closes#3751)
Problem: Deleting signs and completion for :sign is insufficient.
Solution: Add deleting signs in a specified or any group from the current
cursor location. Add group and priority to sign command
completion. Add tests for different sign unplace commands. Update
help text. Add tests for sign jump with group. Update help for
sign jump. (Yegappan Lakshmanan, closes#3731)
Problem: Using sign group names is inefficient.
Solution: Store group names in a hash table and use a reference to them.
Also remove unnecessary use of ":exe" from the tests. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closes#3715)
Problem: Placing signs can be complicated.
Solution: Add functions for defining and placing signs. Introduce a group
name to avoid different plugins using the same signs. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closes#3652)
