runtime(syntax-tests): Support "wait-free" test failure
When certain changes guarantee failure for old syntax tests,
opt for faster failure by reducing the number of screendumps
made for each file "page" to be no greater than the assigned
value of a VIM_SYNTAX_TEST_WAIT_TIME environment variable.
(This variable will be ignored and more screendumps may be
made when Make is GNU Make and a parent Makefile is used.)
Barring regressions, and assuming that v9.1.1163~1 succeeds
in providing a correct synchronisation mechanism outside of
"VerifyScreenDump()", and assuming that "readfile()" always
obtains the latest contents written by "term_dumpwrite()" in
"VerifyScreenDump()"; making a single screendump of a file
"page" and following it with a single reading of the written
screendump file should be enough to decide whether to pass
or fail a syntax test.
In addition, re-enable self testing after v9.1.1183~2.

patch 9.1.1212: too many strlen() calls in edit.c
Problem: too many strlen() calls in edit.c
Solution: refactor edit.c and remove strlen() calls
(John Marriott)
This commit attempts to make edit.c more efficient by:
- in truncate_spaces() pass in the length of the string.
- return a string_T from get_last_insert(), so that the length of the
string is available to the caller.
- refactor stuff_insert():
- replace calls to stuffReadbuff() (which calls STRLEN() on it's
string argument) with stuffReadbuffLen() (which gets the length of
it's string argument passed in).
- replace call to vim_strrchr() which searches from the start of the
string with a loop which searches from end of the string to find the
last ESC character.
- change get_last_insert_save() to call get_last_insert() to get the
last_insert string (the logic is in one place).

patch 9.1.1209: colorcolumn not drawn after virtual text lines
Problem: colorcolumn not drawn after virtual text lines
Solution: show colorcolumn on correct line with virtual text by adding
the size of p_extra to virtual column offset (Matthias)
When a line has two or more lines of virtual text above it, the color
column used to appear on the line of the second virtual text line, while
the first virtual text line and the "real" text line did not have a
color column.
The color column for "above" virtual text is positioned by taking the
offset of the size of the virtual text lines and subtracting it from the
"virtual column" that we are in. If the result equals the color column,
this column is colored.
The "virtual column" is calculated from the beginning of the first
virtual text line and continues over the newlines up to the end of the
"real" text. However, the offset from the virtual text was reset at
every line.
Adding all those offsets together leads to the color column being placed
consistently at the line of the "real" text.

Problem: matchparen plugin wrong highlights shell case statement

Solution: return early, if we are in a shSnglCase syntax element
The shell syntax element "case $var in foobar)" uses closing parenthesis
but there is no corresponding opening parenthesis for that syntax
element. However matchparen is not aware of such things and will happily
try to match just the next opening parenthesis.
So let's just add a way to opt out for such cases. In this case, use the
syntax state to check if the closing parenthesis belongs to the syntax
item "shSnglCase" and if it is, do not try to find a corresponding
opening parenthesis.
Since inspecting the syntax state might be expensive, put the whole
check behind a filetype test, so that matchparen will only perform this
particular check, when it knows the current buffer is a "sh" filetype.

Problem: too many strlen() calls in misc2.c
Solution: refactor misc2.c and use bsearch() instead of a linear search
to find matches in the key_names_table array (John Marriott).
This commit changes misc2.c to use bsearch() to perform string searches of
the key_names_table array.
Implementation detail:
- Some entries in this array have alternate names. Add field alt_name to
point to the alternate name.
- Some entries in this array are only available if a given feature is
defined. Keep them in the array, but add a boolean field enabled to
indicate if the record can be used or not. If the feature is not
available, the corresponding enabled field is set to FALSE.
In my measurements running the test suite on a huge non-gui build on
linux, the number of string comparisons in get_special_key_code():
Before (linear search): 2,214,957
After (binary search): 297,770
A side effect of this is 1477 calls to STRLEN() in
get_special_key_name() for the same test run are no longer necessary.

I tried to figure out what was the most common using modelines. Note
that there are 2401 vim files, and the numbers in the other command
outputs below add up to significantly less than that, so it's possible
that my estimate of what's most common is way off.
```
$ find . -name \*.vim | wc -l
2401
```
It looks like 2 is the most common value by far for shiftwidth and
softtabstop, so I used that for indent_size.
And expandtab is significantly more common than noexpandtab. Taking that
in combination with the common shiftwidth and softtabstop of 2 but
tabstop of 8, I set indent_style to space.
I did try to look at a few of the less common values for those options
to see if there was any obvious pattern, like all *.vim files in one
directory having a different setting. The only real pattern I noticed
was in runtime/pack/dist/opt/netrw, but that looks like it's imported
from a separate repository? So I think it might make more sense for them
to create their own .editorconfig file rather than putting settings for
that directory in this one.

beginning. This is especially useful for custom completion, where menu items
may not always start with the typed pattern.
For specific use cases, refer to the two examples in
https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/16759
A sliding window approach is used with direct string comparison. Performance
is not a concern, as highlighting is applied only to displayed lines, even if
the menu list is arbitrarily long.

patch 9.1.1169: using global variable for get_insert()/get_lambda_name()
Problem: using global variable for get_insert()/get_lambda_name()
(after v9.1.1151)
Solution: let the functions return a string_T object instead
(Yee Cheng Chin)
In #16720, `get_insert()` was modified to store a string length in a
global variable to be queried immediately by another `get_insert_len()`
function, which is somewhat fragile. Instead, just have the function
itself return a `string_T` object instead. Also do the same for
`get_lambda_name()` which has similar issues.

patch 9.1.1168: wrong flags passed down to nextwild()
Problem: wrong flags passed down to nextwild()
(zeertzjq, after v9.1.1166)
Solution: only pass options flags (Girish Palya)
`options` needs to be passed into nextwild() since it may contain
WILD_KEEP_SOLE_ITEM which prevents the menu items list from getting
freed if there is only 1 item left (if `noselect` is set).

patch 9.1.1166: command-line auto-completion hard with wildmenu
Problem: command-line auto-completion hard with wildmenu
Solution: implement "noselect" wildoption value (Girish Palya)
When `noselect` is present in `wildmode` and 'wildmenu' is enabled, the
completion menu appears without pre-selecting the first item.
This change makes it easier to implement command-line auto-completion,
where the menu dynamically appears as characters are typed, and `<Tab>`
can be used to manually select an item. This can be achieved by
leveraging the `CmdlineChanged` event to insert `wildchar(m)`,
triggering completion menu.
Without this change, auto-completion using the 'wildmenu' mechanism is
not feasible, as it automatically inserts the first match, preventing
dynamic selection.
The following Vimscript snippet demonstrates how to configure
auto-completion using `noselect`:
def CmdComplete(cur_cmdline: string, timer: number)
var [cmdline, curpos] = [getcmdline(), getcmdpos()]
if cur_cmdline ==# cmdline # Avoid completing each character in keymaps and pasted text
&& !pumvisible() && curpos == cmdline->len() + 1
if cmdline[curpos - 2] =~ '[\w*/:]' # Reduce noise by completing only selected characters
feedkeys("\<C-@>", "ti")
set eventignore+=CmdlineChanged # Suppress redundant completion attempts
timer_start(0, (_) => {
getcmdline()->substitute('\%x00$', '', '')->setcmdline() # Remove <C-@> if no completion items exist
set eventignore-=CmdlineChanged
})
endif
endif
