Problem: getregion() can be improved (after v9.1.120)
Solution: change getregion() implementation to use pos as lists and
one optional {opt} dictionary (Shougo Matsushita)
Note: The following is a breaking change!
Currently, the getregion() function (included as of patch v9.1.120) takes
3 arguments: the first 2 arguments are strings, describing a position,
arg3 is the type string.
However, that is slightly inflexible, there is no way to specify
additional arguments. So let's instead change the function signature to:
getregion(pos1, pos2 [, {Dict}]) where both pos1 and pos2 are lists.
This is slightly cleaner, and gives us the flexibility to specify
additional arguments as key/value pairs to the optional Dict arg.
Now it supports the "type" key to specify the selection type
(characterwise, blockwise or linewise) and now in addition one can also
define the selection type, independently of what the 'selection' option
actually is.
Technically, this is a breaking change, but since the getregion()
Vimscript function is still quite new, this should be fine.

Problem: Some minor issues with the getregion() function

```
:xnoremap <CR>

```
`echo` while in visual mode has no visible effect, thus people trying
example might be frustrated as it looks like nothing happens.
So the option is to change it to `echow` or `echom`.
With `echom` it is again has no visible effect but one can at least inspect `:messages`.
On the other hand `echow` showes selected text in a popup window.
```
Can also be used as a |method|: >
'.'->getregion("'a', 'v')
```

Problem: win_splitmove fires WinNewPre and possibly WinNew when moving
windows, even though no new windows are created.
Solution: don't fire WinNew and WinNewPre when inserting an existing
window, even if it isn't the current window. Improve the
accuracy of related documentation. (Sean Dewar)
Likewise, before this patch, WinClosed was not fired anyway (even for :wincmd
H/J/K/L, which also didn't fire WinNew, but did still fire WinNewPre), despite
documentation saying windows are "closed". Note that :wincmd T actually indeed
works by creating a new window (and closing the old one), unlike the others.
This also fixes issues where WinNewPre is fired when split-moving while curwin
doesn't yet have a frame or entry in the window list, causing many things to not
work (it's not considered valid at that point). This was guaranteed when using
:wincmd H/J/K/L.
Because WinNewPre is no longer fired when split-moving, this makes restoring the
previous window layout on failure easier, as we can be sure that frames are not
resized from WinNewPre autocommands if win_split_ins fails. This allows us to
use a different strategy in the following commit.
--
In my opinion, this leaves questions about the current usefulness of WinNewPre.
A motivation described in #10635 states how creating a new window can steal room
from other windows, and how WinNewPre will be useful for detecting that, but
this is also true when inserting an existing window, which now doesn't fire it.
Maybe the autocommand should be changed to have a better name?
There are also other issues I found with the current implementation of WinNewPre
that need addressing:
- it allows switching windows and tabpages, which can cause incorrect windows to
be split/moved, and big problems when switching tabpages.
- it fires before win_split_ins checks for room, before it makes any changes to
window sizes or before it considers allocating a new window. This should be
changed or documented.
I hope to address some of this stuff in a different PR, if possible.

Problem: E95 is possible if a buffer called "[Command Line]" already
exists when opening the cmdwin. This can also happen if the
cmdwin's buffer could not be deleted when closing.
Solution: Un-name the cmdwin buffer, and give it a special name instead,
similar to what's done for quickfix buffers and for unnamed
prompt and scratch buffers. As a result, BufFilePre/Post are
no longer fired when opening the cmdwin. Add a "command" key
to the dictionary returned by getbufinfo() to differentiate
the cmdwin buffer instead. (Sean Dewar)
NOTE: This is technically a breaking change... maybe this needs a different
solution? (Or maybe this issue can be ignored...)
A GitHub search reveals some plugins expect the old behaviour. However, many of
those plugins also do not seem to account for the string being translated, so
they are subtly broken anyway (not withstanding the fact that you can call any

Problem: trim(): hard to use default mask (partly revert v9.0.2040)
Solution: use default mask when it is empty
The default 'mask' value is pretty complex, as it includes many
characters. Yet, if one needs to specify the trimming direction, the
third argument, 'trim()' currently requires the 'mask' value to be

Currently, an empty 'mask' will make 'trim()' call return 'text' value
that is passed in unmodified. It is unlikely that someone is using it,
so the chances of scripts being broken by this change are low.
Also, this reverts commit 9.0.2040 (which uses v:none for the default

Problem: No support for writing extended attributes
Solution: Add extended attribute support for linux
It's been a long standing issue, that if you write a file with extended
attributes and backupcopy is set to no, the file will loose the extended
attributes.
So this patch adds support for retrieving the extended attributes and
copying it to the new file. It currently only works on linux, mainly
because I don't know the different APIs for other systems (BSD, MacOSX and
Solaris). On linux, this should be supported since Kernel 2.4 or
something, so this should be pretty safe to use now.
Enable the extended attribute support with normal builds.
I also added it explicitly to the :version output as well as make it
able to check using `:echo has("xattr")`, to have users easily check
that this is available.
In contrast to the similar support for SELINUX and SMACK support (which
also internally uses extended attributes), I have made this a FEAT_XATTR
define, instead of the similar HAVE_XATTR.
Add a test and change CI to include relevant packages so that CI can
test that extended attributes are correctly written.

Problem: No support for stable Python 3 ABI
Solution: Support Python 3 stable ABI
Commits:
1) Support Python 3 stable ABI to allow mixed version interoperatbility
Vim currently supports embedding Python for use with plugins, and the
"dynamic" linking option allows the user to specify a locally installed
version of Python by setting `pythonthreedll`. However, one caveat is
that the Python 3 libs are not binary compatible across minor versions,
and mixing versions can potentially be dangerous (e.g. let's say Vim was
linked against the Python 3.10 SDK, but the user sets `pythonthreedll`
to a 3.11 lib). Usually, nothing bad happens, but in theory this could
lead to crashes, memory corruption, and other unpredictable behaviors.
It's also difficult for the user to tell something is wrong because Vim
has no way of reporting what Python 3 version Vim was linked with.
For Vim installed via a package manager, this usually isn't an issue
because all the dependencies would already be figured out. For prebuilt
Vim binaries like MacVim (my motivation for working on this), AppImage,
and Win32 installer this could potentially be an issue as usually a
single binary is distributed. This is more tricky when a new Python
version is released, as there's a chicken-and-egg issue with deciding
what Python version to build against and hard to keep in sync when a new
Python version just drops and we have a mix of users of different Python
versions, and a user just blindly upgrading to a new Python could lead to
bad interactions with Vim.
Python 3 does have a solution for this problem: stable ABI / limited API
(see https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/stable.html). The C SDK limits the
API to a set of functions that are promised to be stable across
versions. This pull request adds an ifdef config that allows us to turn
it on when building Vim. Vim binaries built with this option should be
safe to freely link with any Python 3 libraies without having the
constraint of having to use the same minor version.
Note: Python 2 has no such concept and this doesn't change how Python 2
integration works (not that there is going to be a new version of Python
2 that would cause compatibility issues in the future anyway).
---
Technical details:
======
The stable ABI can be accessed when we compile with the Python 3 limited
API (by defining `Py_LIMITED_API`). The Python 3 code (in `if_python3.c`
and `if_py_both.h`) would now handle this and switch to limited API
mode. Without it set, Vim will still use the full API as before so this
is an opt-in change.
The main difference is that `PyType_Object` is now an opaque struct that
we can't directly create "static types" out of, and we have to create
type objects as "heap types" instead. This is because the struct is not
stable and changes from version to version (e.g. 3.8 added a
`tp_vectorcall` field to it). I had to change all the types to be
allocated on the heap instead with just a pointer to them.
Other functions are also simply missing in limited API, or they are
introduced too late (e.g. `PyUnicode_AsUTF8AndSize` in 3.10) to it that
we need some other ways to do the same thing, so I had to abstract a few
things into macros, and sometimes re-implement functions like
`PyObject_NEW`.
One caveat is that in limited API, `OutputType` (used for replacing
`sys.stdout`) no longer inherits from `PyStdPrinter_Type` which I don't
think has any real issue other than minor differences in how they
convert to a string and missing a couple functions like `mode()` and
`fileno()`.
Also fixed an existing bug where `tp_basicsize` was set incorrectly for
`BufferObject`, `TabListObject, `WinListObject`.
Technically, there could be a small performance drop, there is a little
more indirection with accessing type objects, and some APIs like
`PyUnicode_AsUTF8AndSize` are missing, but in practice I didn't see any
difference, and any well-written Python plugin should try to avoid
excessing callbacks to the `vim` module in Python anyway.
I only tested limited API mode down to Python 3.7, which seemes to
compile and work fine. I haven't tried earlier Python versions.
2) Fix PyIter_Check on older Python vers / type##Ptr unused warning
For PyIter_Check, older versions exposed them as either macros (used in
full API), or a function (for use in limited API). A previous change
exposed PyIter_Check to the dynamic build because Python just moved it
to function-only in 3.10 anyway. Because of that, just make sure we
always grab the function in dynamic builds in earlier versions since
that's what Python eventually did anyway.
3) Move Py_LIMITED_API define to configure script
Can now use --with-python-stable-abi flag to customize what stable ABI
version to target. Can also use an env var to do so as well.
4) Show +python/dyn-stable in :version, and allow has() feature query
Not sure if the "/dyn-stable" suffix would break things, or whether we
should do it another way. Or just don't show it in version and rely on
has() feature checking.
5) Documentation first draft. Still need to implement v:python3_version
6) Fix PyIter_Check build breaks when compiling against Python 3.8
7) Add CI coverage stable ABI on Linux/Windows / make configurable on Windows
This adds configurable options for Windows make files (both MinGW and
MSVC). CI will also now exercise both traditional full API and stable
ABI for Linux and Windows in the matrix for coverage.
Also added a "dynamic" option to Linux matrix as a drive-by change to
make other scripting languages like Ruby / Perl testable under both
static and dynamic builds.
8) Fix inaccuracy in Windows docs
Python's own docs are confusing but you don't actually want to use
`python3.dll` for the dynamic linkage.
9) Add generated autoconf file
10) Add v:python3_version support
This variable indicates the version of Python3 that Vim was built
against (PY_VERSION_HEX), and will be useful to check whether the Python
library you are loading in dynamically actually fits it. When built with
stable ABI, it will be the limited ABI version instead
(`Py_LIMITED_API`), which indicates the minimum version of Python 3 the
user should have, rather than the exact match. When stable ABI is used,
we won't be exposing PY_VERSION_HEX in this var because it just doesn't
seem necessary to do so (the whole point of stable ABI is the promise
that it will work across versions), and I don't want to confuse the user
with too many variables.
Also, cleaned up some documentation, and added help tags.
11) Fix Python 3.7 compat issues
Fix a couple issues when using limited API < 3.8
- Crash on exit: In Python 3.7, if a heap-allocated type is destroyed
before all instances are, it would cause a crash later. This happens
when we destroyed `OptionsType` before calling `Py_Finalize` when
using the limited API. To make it worse, later versions changed the
semantics and now each instance has a strong reference to its own type
and the recommendation has changed to have each instance de-ref its
own type and have its type in GC traversal. To avoid dealing with
these cross-version variations, we just don't free the heap type. They
are static types in non-limited-API anyway and are designed to last
through the entirety of the app, and we also don't restart the Python
runtime and therefore do not need it to have absolutely 0 leaks.
See:
- https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.8.html#changes-in-the-c-api
- https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.9.html#changes-in-the-c-api
- PyIter_Check: This function is not provided in limited APIs older than
3.8. Previously I was trying to mock it out using manual
PyType_GetSlot() but it was brittle and also does not actually work
properly for static types (it will generate a Python error). Just
return false. It does mean using limited API < 3.8 is not recommended
as you lose the functionality to handle iterators, but from playing
with plugins I couldn't find it to be an issue.
- Fix loading of PyIter_Check so it will be done when limited API < 3.8.
Otherwise loading a 3.7 Python lib will fail even if limited API was
specified to use it.
12) Make sure to only load `PyUnicode_AsUTF8AndSize` in needed in limited API
We don't use this function unless limited API >= 3.10, but we were
loading it regardless. Usually it's ok in Unix-like systems where Python
just has a single lib that we load from, but in Windows where there is a
separate python3.dll this would not work as the symbol would not have
been exposed in this more limited DLL file. This makes it much clearer
under what condition is this function needed.
