It is a waste of time to first fully clear a row when right afterward
text will be written to it (for most of the row, on average). So...
just clear the part of the row after the written text. Curses has the
perfect function for this: clrtoeol().
The edit window has been fully cleared just before the list-drawing
loop has started, so there is no need to wipe anything. Only for the
highlighting bar all its characters need to be drawn with the correct
attributes.
Where the row needs to be filled with spaces with the attributes that
were set (title bar, prompt bar, and browser highlight), use printw().
But when the row needs to be actually cleared, use the much faster
clrtoeol().
This reduces the time needed to clear a full row with 95 percent.
Since commit 7028adf2 from three days ago, also the color commands of
syntaxes that are defined in a main nanorc will get parsed during a
second pass, so it is perfectly possible to extend such syntaxes
later on in the same (or another) nanorc file.
'opensyntax' is relevant only during the first pass through all the
nanorc files (intros_only == TRUE) when it is checked that syntax
commands are grouped properly and not mixed with others. And
'lastcolor' is relevant only during the second pass of a specific
syntax, because only then the color commands are actually parsed.
Whenever, in an rcfile, a command is encountered that is not part of a
syntax definition, a currently open syntax should be closed, but only
after checking that the syntax contains at least one color command.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56501.
Bug existed since version 2.3.3.
The 'color' commands of a syntax definition should not be allowed to
be interspersed with other, non-syntax commands.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56498.
Bug existed since before version 2.6.0.
As 'extendsyntax' commands are no longer interpreted immediately when
the rcfiles are read, there is no need to set 'opensyntax' to FALSE
after interpreting such a command -- for a single syntax they are all
interpreted in a row.
An included file can contain multiple syntaxes. If reading would stop
as soon as a command different from 'syntax' and 'header' and 'magic'
is found, any later syntaxes would not be seen. So each nanorc file
needs to be fully scanned -- it's just the interpretation of all the
color commands that we want to delay until the syntax gets actually
used.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56478.
Bug existed since commit cba9d8d0 from a month ago.
Also, don't use mblen() directly, to not get stuck when it returns -1,
which it will when running a non-UTF-8 build in a UTF-8 locale.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56472.
Bug existed since commit cd094822 from yesterday.
The majority of characters in the files that get edited with nano will
be single-byte printable ASCII characters, so their case should come
first in the main loop of display_string().
In addition, the function was used just once, had a weird return value,
and now some more code can be excluded from a non-UTF8 build.
Make use of the fact that any single-byte character always occupies
just one column, and call the costly mbtowc() and wcwidth() only for
characters that actually are multibyte.
