Problem: An error in a timer can make Vim unusable.
Solution: Don't set the error flag or exception from a timer. Stop a timer
if it causes an error 3 out of 3 times. Discard an exception
caused inside a timer.
Problem: No terminal emulator support. Cannot properly run commands in the
GUI. Cannot run a job interactively with an ssh connection.
Solution: Very early implementation of the :terminal command. Includes
libvterm converted to ANSI C. Many parts still missing.
Problem: When creating a bufref, then using :bwipe and :new it might get
the same memory and bufref_valid() returns true.
Solution: Add br_fnum to check the buffer number didn't change.
Problem: Saving the redo buffer only works one time, resulting in the "."
command not working well for a function call inside another
function call. (Ingo Karkat)
Solution: Save the redo buffer at every user function call. (closes#1619)
Problem: When a json message arrives in pieces, the start is dropped and
the decoding fails.
Solution: Do not drop the start when it is still needed. (Kay Zheng) Add a
test. Reset the timeout when something is received.
Problem: Ubsan reports errors for integer overflow.
Solution: Define macros for minimum and maximum values. Select an
expression based on the value. (Mike Williams)
Problem: 'formatprg' is a global option but the value may depend on the
type of buffer. (Sung Pae)
Solution: Make 'formatprg' global-local. (closes#1380)
Problem: When reading channel output in a timer, messages may go missing.
(Skywind)
Solution: Add the "drop" option. Write error messages in the channel log.
Don't have ch_canread() check for the channel being open.
Problem: When the input or output is not a tty Vim appears to hang.
Solution: Add the --ttyfail argument. Also add the "ttyin" and "ttyout"
features to be able to check in Vim script.
Problem: When the channel callback gets job info the job may already have
been deleted. (lifepillar)
Solution: Do not delete the job when the channel is still useful. (ichizok,
closes#1242, closes#1245)
Problem: On Windows job_stop() stops cmd.exe, not the processes it runs.
(Linwei)
Solution: Iterate over all processes and terminate the one where the parent
is the job process. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto, closes#1184)
Problem: A channel is closed when reading on stderr or stdout fails, but
there may still be something to read on another part.
Solution: Turn ch_to_be_closed into a bitfield. (Ozaki Kiichi)
Problem: The "Reading from channel output..." message can be unwanted.
Appending to a buffer leaves an empty first line behind.
Solution: Add the "out_msg" and "err_msg" options. Writing the first line
overwrites the first, empty line.
Problem: Crash when stop_timer() is called in a callback of a callback.
Vim hangs when the timer callback uses too much time.
Solution: Set tr_id to -1 when a timer is to be deleted. Don't keep calling
callbacks forever. (Ozaki Kiichi)
Problem: Crash when editing a new buffer and BufUnload autocommand wipes
out the new buffer. (Norio Takagi)
Solution: Don't allow wiping out this buffer. (partly by Hirohito Higashi)
Move old style test13 into test_autocmd. Avoid ml_get error when
editing a file.
Problem: :filter does not work for many commands. Can only get matching
messages.
Solution: Make :filter work for :command, :map, :list, :number and :print.
Make ":filter!" show non-matching lines.
Problem: Adding pattern to ":oldfiles" is not a generic solution.
Solution: Add the ":filter /pat/ cmd" command modifier. Only works for some
commands right now.
Problem: Warning for assigning negative value to unsigned. (Danek Duvall)
Solution: Make cterm_normal_fg_gui_color and _bg_ guicolor_T, cast to long_u
only when an unsigned is needed.
Problem: When using matchaddpos() a character after the end of the line can
be highlighted.
Solution: Only highlight existing characters. (Hirohito Higashi)
Problem: Leaking memory when redefining a function.
Solution: Don't increment the function reference count when it's found by
name. Don't remove the wrong function from the hashtab. More
reference counting fixes.
Problem: Using function() with a name will find another function when it is
redefined.
Solution: Add funcref(). Refer to lambda using a partial. Fix several
reference counting issues.
Problem: Using submatch() in a lambda passed to substitute() is verbose.
Solution: Use a static list and pass it as an optional argument to the
function. Fix memory leak.
Problem: When updating viminfo with file marks there is no time order.
Solution: Remember the time when a buffer was last used, store marks for
the most recently used buffers.
Problem: On MS-Windows large files (> 2Gbyte) cause problems.
Solution: Use "off_T" instead of "off_t". Use "stat_T" instead of "struct
stat". Use 64 bit system functions if available. (Ken Takata)
Problem: Using 32-bit Perl with 64-bit time_t causes memory corruption.
(Christian Brabandt)
Solution: Use time_T instead of time_t for global variables. (Ken Takata)
Problem: When writing viminfo merging current history with history in
viminfo may drop recent history entries.
Solution: Add new format for viminfo lines, use it for history entries. Use
a timestamp for ordering the entries. Add test_settime().
Add the viminfo version. Does not do merging on timestamp yet.
