Simplifies and uniformize the logic on the Lua side for the
setting of directories' watches. Now we always use the methods:
systems.watch_dir_add / rm
on all the project's directories at any depth when we are not
in files limit mode.
In files limited mode the functions systems.watch_dir_add/rm are
called only on the expanded folders. The shown_subdir table is also
updated only in files limited mode.
On the C side, using the dmon library, we remove the recursive argument
from the system.watch_dir and we always call it recursively except on
Linux. At the same time the functions:
systems.watch_dir_add / rm
are provided but as dummy functions that does nothing except on Linux
where they work as before to add / remove sub-directories in the inotify
watch.
In this was on the Lua side we always act we if the watches needed to be
set for each sub-directory explicitly, independently of the system.
The important improvement introduced is that we always avoid calling
dmon_watch recursively on Linux. This latter thing is problematic with
inotify and is therefore avoided on Linux.
On the other side we simplifies the logic on the Lua side and remove
conditions based on the OS used.
Fix a conspicuous omission to call the dmon_unwatch function
when changing project directory.
This uncovered a bug or a quirk of the dmon library where the watch_ids
can change as a result of calling dmon_unwatch because they are just
indexes on a contiguous array. Use a workaround to always unwatch the
first valid watch_id N times.
The last column of pixel on the window's right side isn't correctly
drawn and pixels appear dirty and more noticeably when the a NagView
message was previously shown, a stripe of red pixels remains on the right.
We use now a more souding roundig scheme. Now the rectangles to clip or to
draw are passed around as Lua numbers without any rounding. In turns, when
the rect coordinates are passed to the renderer we ensure the border of the
rect are correctly snapped to the pixel's grid. It works by computing the
coordinates of the edges, round them to integers and then compute the rect's
width based on the rounded coordinates values.
something went wrong in snprintf that it skips the first character of
the library name. Not only that, the signature is actually luaopen and
not lua_open.
It is reported that the built-in lua function os.remove(path) does
not removes empty directories on windows. To fix this a system.rmdir
function is introduced that calls a native win32 function.
Also common.rm(path, recursively) was added which wraps system.rmdir()
to easily delete an entire folder with all its contents.
Add a renderer.font's method "copy" to clone the font object
by specifying an optional new size. In the size is not given
the size of the original object is used.
Should fulfill the request from issue #288.
Groups together consecutive mouse move events like done in core.step()
lua function but on the C side.
It does not introduce any meaningful speedup but it theory is more efficient and
simplifies the Lua code.
The simplification of the Lua code alone is enough to justify this change?
* Retrieve scale plugin from lite-plugins
* New implementation of scale plugin and font C API
Introduce two new C API functions, renderer.font.get_size and set_size
respectively to get the font size and to set the size to a new value.
Using these functions we don't need to know the name of the font but
we can just change their size.
Adapt the scale plugin to use the new C API function with minor adaptations
in the logic.
Use smaller step to scale fonts.
Rename font_desc_free function, previous name was misleading as only the cached
resources are freed.
* Add contextmenu plugin from takase
From https://github.com/takase1121/lite-contextmenu
Adapted to show font scaling commands and find/replace commands.
i# testing.lua
* Fix the cursor flickering with contextmenu
To avoid flickering of the cursor when using the context menu
we add a new function `core.request_cursor` that just take note
of the cursor requested.
The cursor will be actually changed only in root_view:draw() method
only when all the drawing operations are done. This means the cursor
will be changed only once per frame and only the most recent cursor
change request will take effect.
* Remove unneeded scale plugin return functions
On macos 11.2.3 with sdl 2.0.14 the keyup handler for cmd+w was not
enough. Maybe the quit event started to be triggered from the keydown
handler? In any case, flushing the quit event there too helped.
Use regular expressions instead of Lua patterns for find and replace editor commands.
Syntax files can now use regex or Lua patterns as before keeping backward compatibility for plugins.
In some cases rencache was using a FontDesc pointer that was actually freed by
Lua giving segfaults errors.
In addition, some FontDesc object were not freed in some cases if the
rencache_end_frame was not called when performing the "restart" command.
The invalid access problem can happen because rencache keep some pointers to
FontDesc object but these are Lua userdata that Lua can dispose of. This
situation is prone to hard errors and we should avoid to keep pointers to
objects managed by Lua.
To this purpose we use luaL_ref/unref to bind the FontDesc into the Lua's
registry while rencache need them. We still keeps pointer to FontDesc object but
using luaL_ref we are assured they will not be disposed by Lua.
Since we are using luaL_ref/unref to inform the GC about when the objects are in
use we can now finalize the objects directly when Lua collects them. Previously
the GC metamethods was issuing a FREE command to rencache and the font was
actually freed only from the rencache_end_frame function.
Introduce a new approach that discriminate coordinates in
points and pixels. Now all the logic from the Lua side and in
rencache is to always use points. The coordinates are converted
to pixels only within the renderer, in the file renderer.c.
In this way the application logic does not need to care about the
scaling of the retina displays.
For non-retina display the scaling between points and pixels is
equal to one so nothing will change.
There is nevertheless a change that leak into the Lua side. The
subpixel coordinates are in sub-pixel, not sub-points so they are
scaled by the retina scaling factor. But no change in the code is
required because the subpixel scaling factor take into account the
retina scaling, when present.
Because the retina scaling factor is not know when the application
starts but only when a window is actually available we introduce a
mechanism to render the font with a given scaling factor only from
the renderer when they are needed. We use therefore FontDesc to
describe the font information but without actually rasterizing the
font at a given scale.
Useful to draw whitespaces with alternate characters and colors
without slowing down the text rendering.
A new API is implemented. A renderer.replacements object can be created
to list the replacements.
In turns the function renderer.draw_text and draw_text_subpixel now accept
two optional arguments for replacements.
In order to fix the issue with cursor positioning a subpixel-aware draw
text operation within rencache was required.
With this modification the cursor positioning problem is completely
resolved.
A new function renderer.draw_text_subpixel is introduced to perform
consecutive, inline, text drawings with subpixel accuracy.
