Problem: too many strlen() calls when adding strings to dicts
Solution: Refactor code to use string_T, use dict_add_string_len()
instead of dict_add_string() (John Marriott)
Additionally:
- In textprop.c, in function prop_fill_dict() use a string_T to store
local variable text_align.
- In popupwin.c, use a string_T to store struct member pp_name in struct
poppos_entry_T.
- In mark.c, refactor function add_mark() to pass in the length of
argument mname.
- In insexpand.c:
->Use a string_T to store the elements of static array
ctrl_x_mode_names.
->Refactor function trigger_complete_done_event():
->->change type of argument char_u *word to string_T *word.
->->make one access of array ctrl_x_mode_names instead of two.
->Refactor function ins_compl_mode() to accept a string_T to return the
resulting string.
- In fileio.c:
->Refactor function getftypewfd() to accept a string_T to return the
resulting string.
->In function create_readdirex_item() use a string_T to store local
variable q.
- In cmdexpand.c, store global cmdline_orig as a string_T.
- In autocmd.c, in function f_autocmd_get() use a string_T to store local
variables event_name and group_name. Measure their lengths once when
they are assigned so they are not remeasured on each call to
dict_add_string() in the subsequent for loop.
- In channel.c, in function channel_part_info() drop local variable status
and use s instead. Make s a string_T.

vim-patch:9.2.0362: division by zero with smoothscroll and small windows
Problem: Resizing a smoothscrolled wrapped window to its textoff width
with 'showbreak' can leave wrapped continuation lines with
zero text width. win_lbr_chartabsize() still runs the partial max_head_vcol calculation in
that state and divides by width2, crashing during redraw.
Solution: Skip that partial head calculation when the wrapped
continuation width is zero, matching the other width2 guards
in charset.c (Jaehwang Jung)

Problem: using int as bool
Solution: refactor: use bool type for internal flags in buf_T
(Hirohito Higashi)
Change the type of 23 internal state flag fields in buf_T from int
to bool for improved type clarity and code readability.
These fields are pure boolean flags that are never accessed via the
option system's varp (which uses *(int *)varp = value), never compared
with int fields holding non-0/1 values, and never use tristate values.
Converted fields:
- State flags: b_dev_valid, b_saving, b_mod_set, b_new_change,
b_marks_read, b_modified_was_set, b_did_filetype, b_keep_filetype,
b_au_did_filetype, b_u_synced, b_scanned, b_p_initialized
- Characteristic flags: b_has_textprop, b_may_swap, b_did_warn,
b_help, b_spell, b_shortname, b_has_sign_column, b_netbeans_file,
b_was_netbeans_file, b_write_to_channel, b_diff_failed
All TRUE/FALSE assignments to these fields have been updated to
true/false accordingly. The type of temporary save variables
(e.g. help_save in tag.c) has also been adjusted to bool.
Option value fields (b_p_XXX) are kept as int because they are
accessed via the option system and some use tristate (-1) semantics.
Fields compared with int option values (b_start_eof, b_start_eol,
b_start_bomb) are also kept as int to preserve comparison integrity.

Problem:
- Unable to "pin" a window to prevent closing without specifically
being targeted.
- :fclose closes hidden windows (even before visible windows).
Solution:
- Add 'winpinned' window-local option. When set, window is skipped by
:fclose and :only. Pin the ui2 cmdline window (which should always be
visible), so that it is not closed by :only/fclose.
- Skip over hidden (and pinned) windows with :fclose.

Problem:
win_line() falls into infinite loop when a diff window has top filler
above its first visible buffer line, that first visible buffer line is a
closed fold, and the folded line uses normal non-empty foldtext.
Solution:
Allow flushing pending diff filler rows even when the underlying buffer
line is folded with foldtext.

Problem:
`api.nvim_buf_del_mark` already emits a `MarkSet` event with `col` and `line` set to 0. However, `:delmarks` currently emits no events.
Solution:
Change `:delmarks` to emit the same `col==line==0` event.
Problem:
Codelens virtual lines remain on stale rows after an external file
change and buffer reload.
Solution:
Clear codelens extmarks and cached row/version state in `on_reload`
before requesting fresh code lenses.
Problem: completionItem/resolve response's `detail` field is silently
dropped. Only `documentation` is shown in the popup.
Solution: Prepend `detail` as a fenced code block before `documentation`
in the info popup, skipping if documentation already contains it.
Problem:
After on_refresh() sends a textDocument/codeLens request, the buffer may
be deleted before the response arrives. The response callback then tries
to redraw that deleted buffer and raises Invalid buffer id error.
Solution:
Check buffer validity before redrawing.

Problem:
No LuaLS types for event-data fields (ev.data). Types are only
documented ad hoc in scattered locations.
Solution:
Add runtime/lua/vim/_meta/events.lua defining vim.event.<name>.data
classes for events that provide ev.data. Reference the types from
each event's help in autocmd.txt, lsp.txt, and pack.txt.
Problem: Using `buf=0`/`win=0` context in `vim._with` should be
equivalent to using explicit buffer/window identifier respectively.
Solution: Explicitly adjust context in case of `buf=0` or `win=0`.
Problem:
Too much boilerplate needed to use Lua to impl an excmd or f_xx
function.
Solution:
- Add `nlua_call_vimfn` which takes the args typval, executes
Lua, and returns a typval.
- refactor(excmd): lua impl for :log, :lsp
Problem: Marks are not adjusted unloading a buffer that doesn't exist
on disk. E.g. extmarks are still valid (and will be beyond the
end of the buffer if the buffer is reloaded), even though the
text is lost.
Solution: Adjust marks for a cleared buffer when unloading a buffer that
doesn't exist on disk.
Problem: Calling `vim.filetype.match({ filename = '...', buf = ... })`
during startup results in an error due to not yet defined
`g:ft_ignore_pat`.
Solution: Add a guard to check `g:ft_ignore_pat` related properties only
if the variable is defined. This also allows to simplify other tests
which did not depend on `g:ft_ignore_pat` but required it explicitly
set to work.
Problem: MS-Windows: If a directory with a single character name is
included in the PATH environment variable without a trailing
path separator, executable() will not be able to find the
executable file under it.
Solution: The second argument of the after_pathsep() function is now
passed the next pointer where a path separator may exist
(Muraoka Taro).
As a specific example, the default installation path for PowerShell v7
is "C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7", but if you set this as is in the
PATH environment variable, Vim will not be able to find the pwsh.exe
command. In this case, Vim will try to search for "C:\Program
Files\PowerShell\7pwsh.exe".
Cause: The after_pathsep() function determines whether the location
passed as its second argument immediately follows a path separator.
However, in the code where the problem occurred, the second argument was
passed a location that might contain a path separator. As a result, it
was mistakenly determined that a path separator was present in cases
where the final directory name was a single character and not followed
by a path separator, and the path to search was incorrect.

* fix(api): allow silencing "Too many highlight groups" error
Problem: Using Lua's `vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'New', {...})` can fail if
there are too many existing highlight groups. However, this error can
not be silenced with `pcall`.
Solution: Make it possible to silence in `nvim_set_hl` and
`nvim_get_hl_id_by_name`.
* fix(lsp): limit number of groups created by `document_color()`
Problem: A file can contain many string colors that would be highlighted
by an LSP server. If this number crosses 19999 (maximum number of
allowed highlight groups), there are general issues with creating
other highlight groups, which can break functionality outside of
`vim.lsp.document_color`.
Solution: Limit number of highlight groups that are created by
`vim.lsp.document_color` to 10000 (half of allowed maximum).
This is not a 100% solution (since there can exist more than 10000
other highlight groups), but explicitly checking number of groups is
slow and 10000 should (hopefully) be enough for most use cases.
Problem:
- Builtin "Vimscript" functions (f_xx) are mostly implemented in C.
Partly that's because there is some boilerplate required to call out
to Lua.
- Calls to `vim.fn.foo()` always marshall over the Lua <=> Vimscript
("typval") bridge, even if `fn.foo()` is implemented entirely in Lua:
```
Lua => typval => Object => Lua => Object => typval => Lua.
```
Solution:
Functions declared in eval.lua with `func_lua` are implemented in
entirely in Lua (`_core/vimfn.lua`).
- `gen_eval.lua` wires `func_lua` entries to `lua_wrapper`, which handles
the typval conversion for Vimscript callers (slow path).
- `nlua_call()` detects `func_lua` functions and calls the Lua
implementation directly. This eliminates all conversion overhead for
Lua callers (fast path).
- Validate at build-time that `func`, `func_float`, and `func_lua` are
mutually exclusive.
- Migrate `hostname()` as a toy example, to show the idea.
Problem:
`test/functional/plugin/lsp_spec.lua` had grown into a large catch-all file that mixed core LSP client lifecycle coverage, `vim.lsp.buf.*` behavior, and `vim.lsp.util.*` behavior in one place.
Solution:
Split the large tests into more focused test files without changing test coverage or intended behavior.
After this change, `lsp_spec.lua` is more focused on core LSP client/config/dynamic-registration behavior.
Problem: - Paging keys in the dialog window consume input when the user
may not expect it. The dismissable title hint intended to
mitigate that results in having to press Escape twice to
abandon the prompt.
- Mimicked "msgsep" float border is taking up unnecessary
space when window takes up the entire screen.
Solution: - Use (conventional, albeit less convenient) keys intended
for scrolling to page the dialog window:
<(Mousewheel/Page)Up/Down>, <Home/End>.
- Only set the float top border when separation is actually
necessary, i.e. window does not reach the first row.
Problem:
Difficult for us to provide default handlers for functions like
`vim.lsp.buf.definition`. When users wanted to fine-tune the default behavior,
they don't know how.
Solution:
- Document an example providing `on_list` boilerplate to make it easier for
users to modify and override.
- Also, considering that the parameters of the previous
`on_list`(`vim.lsp.ListOpts.OnList`) are compatible with the parameters of
`setqflist`, remove that custom type in favor of passing
`vim.fn.setqflist.what`.
Problem:
`TSNode:id()` returns the underlying c pointer as a string, which may include
NUL bytes. In PUC Lua, `('%s'):format('\0a\0')` returns `''` and not `'\0a\0'`
(i.e. treats the string as a c-string (which terminates at the NUL byte)).
This resulted in two different nodes being able to have the same id.
Solution:
Use concatenation `..` instead of `string.format()`.
Problem:
- Choosing a new EXX error code is tedious.
- It's possible to accidentally use an EXX error code for different
purposes.
Solution:
Add a lint check which requires EXX error codes to have a :help tag.
This also avoids duplicates because `make doc` does `:helptags ++t doc`
which fails if duplicates are found.
Problem: Sometimes automatic lockfile synchronization after `:restart`
might fail, like due to bad/absent Internet connection. This would
remove failed to install entries from the lockfile (since they are not
on disk and lockfile is meant to lock the latest plugin version on
disk).
Solution: Document that this should be treated as an unwanted update and
use steps similar to "Revert plugin after an update" use case.
