Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability

Problem: [security]: autocmd cause use-after-free in set_curbuf()
(kawarimidoll)
Solution: check side-effect of BufLeave autocommand, when the number
of windows changed, close windows containing buffers that will
be wiped, if curbuf changed unexpectedly make sure b_nwindows
is decremented otherwise it cannot be wiped
set_curbuf() already makes some efforts to ensure the BufLeave
autocommands do not cause issues. However there are still 2 issues
that are not taken care of:
1) If a BufLeave autocommand opens a new window containing the same
buffer as that is going got be closed in close_buffer() a bit later,
we suddenly have another window open, containing a free'd buffer. So we
must check if the number of windows changed and if it does (and the
current buffer is going to be wiped (according to the 'bufhidden'
setting), let's immediately close all windows containing the current
buffer using close_windows()
2) If a BufLeave autocommand changes our current buffer (displays it in
the current window), buf->b_nwindow will be incremented. As part of
set_curbuf() we will however enter another buffer soon, which means, the
newly created curbuf will have b_nwindows still have set, even so the
buffer is no longer displayed in a window. This causes later problems,
because it will no longer be possible to wipe such a buffer. So just
before entering the final buffer, check if the curbuf changed when
calling the BufLeave autocommand and if it does (and curbuf is still
valid), decrement curbuf->b_nwindows.
Both issues can be verified using the provided test (however the second
issue only because such an impacted buffer won't be wiped, causing
futher issues in later tests).

Install from package
Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are found on the Releases page.
Managed packages are in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, Void Linux, Gentoo, and more!
Install from source
See BUILD.md and supported platforms for details.
The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience. After installing the dependencies, run the following command.
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install
To install to a non-default location:
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install
CMake hints for inspecting the build:
cmake --build build --target helplists all build targets.build/CMakeCache.txt(orcmake -LAH build/) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.build/compile_commands.jsonshows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.
Transitioning from Vim
