Problem: The evalfunc.c file is still too big.
Solution: Move f_pathshorten() to filepath.c. Move f_cscope_connection() to
if_cscope.c. Move diff_ functions to diff.c. Move timer_
functions to ex_cmds2.c. move callback functions to evalvars.c.
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: 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: 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: FEAT_WINDOWS adds a lot of #ifdefs while it is nearly always
enabled and only adds 7% to the binary size of the tiny build.
Solution: Graduate FEAT_WINDOWS.
Problem: Cannot make Vim fail on an internal error.
Solution: Add IEMSG() and IEMSG2(). (Domenique Pelle) Avoid reporting an
internal error without mentioning where.
Problem: Checking did_throw after executing autocommands is wrong. (Daniel
Hahler)
Solution: Call aborting() instead, and only when autocommands were executed.
Problem: Code for MS-Windows is complicated because of the exceptions for
old systems.
Solution: Drop support for MS-Windows older than Windows XP. (Ken Takata)
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: When starting several Vim instances in diff mode, the temp files
used may not be unique. (Issue 353)
Solution: Add an argument to vim_tempname() to keep the file.
Problem: When using a cscope connection resizing the window may send
SIGWINCH to cscope and it quits.
Solution: Call setpgid(0, 0) in the child process. (Narendran Gopalakrishnan)
Problem: When current directory changes, path from cscope may no longer be
valid. (AS Budden)
Solution: Always store the absolute path. (Christian Brabandt)
Problem: MS-Windows: rename() might delete the file if the name differs but
it's actually the same file.
Solution: Use the file handle to check if it's the same file. (Yukihiro
Nakadaira)
