When a line is marked as NOTHING, then the existence or the appearance
of an end match is irrelevant: there is no unpaired start match, so no
recoloring would occur, so there is no need to refresh.
When a line is marked as WOULDBE, then the existence or the appearance
of a start match is irrelevant (for the lines after the first WOULDBE
line): there already is an unpaired start match, so another one will
not change anything, so no refresh is needed. Only the appearance of
an end match would recolor things and thus require a refresh. However,
start and end regexes could match the same thing, so an end might get
misinterpreted as a start. So the rule has to check for the absence
of both a start and an end match, like for WHOLELINE.
This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60072.
A step forward needs to be forced not when both start match and
end match have zero length, but when the "full match" (all text
from the start of the start match to the end of the end match)
covers zero bytes. In other words: the start and end match are
both of zero length AND are at the same spot.
Now that a search match gets highlighted, the unsuspecting user might
think that the text is selected, because it is colorized the same way
as selected text. Avoid this by colorizing a highlighted search match
with its own specific color, black on yellow by default.
In addition, suppress the feedback for M-C also when --minibar
isn't used, as the feedback obscures the effect of the toggle:
showing information about the cursor position on the status bar.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60019.
Bug existed since commit 7545eb5b from one week ago.
Highlighting an occurrence is so much clearer than just putting the
cursor on it. People seem to like it. So let's make this how nano
behaves by default.
Take two conditions that are relevant only for a rather unlikely case
(a start match without a corresponding end match) out of an inner loop.
Give the case its own, dedicated loop.
When leaving the multidata unset (as was done until now) and the
end match is offscreen, then this could lead to miscolorings later
when jumping over this end match instead of scrolling past it.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60012.
Bug existed since before version 2.1.10.
When a large piece of text or code is pasted or inserted, it could
contain matches for start= and end= regexes, and backtracking from
the current screen could mistake an end for a start and could thus
miscolor things. Avoid this by recalculating the multiline cache
for pastes and insertions that cover more than a screenful.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59982.
Bug existed since version 2.6.0, but existed also before 2.4.3.
This allows having an even leaner interface, and gives the M-C toggle
an appropriate function (instead of leaving it a "dead" keystroke).

If a paste (or insertion) is more than a screenful, it will not set
'focusing' to FALSE. In that case, and when line numbers are already
active, then 'focusing' should be kept set to TRUE, despite it getting
set to FALSE by ensure_firstcolumn_is_aligned(). That latter action
is meant to cushion size changes of the edit window, but in this case
the large paste (or insertion) should trump the size change.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59981.
Bug existed since version 2.8.3, commit 2b385478.
Commit 43d94692 fixed a miscoloring bug [1] by doing proper backtracking
for multiline regexes. But this change also solves an older miscoloring
issue [2] without needing to recalculate all the multiline data. So...
just drop the old fix. (This isn't perfect: it's probably possible to
cook up a replacement scheme where things get miscolored, but... until
then, this is good enough.)

Also, there is no need to set 'refresh_needed' in do_replace_loop(),
because each replacement prompt will call edit_refresh() anyway, and
the functions that call do_replace_loop() will set it afterward.
The precalc_multicolorinfo() routine will assign a value to every
element for every line without looking at any current value, so
wiping the data first is a waste of time.
After having been allocated, the multidata will get computed
immediately, in precalc_multicolorinfo() and draw_row(), so
first setting each element to -1 is a small waste of time.
The initialization of -1 cannot possibly match with NOTHING or
WHOLELINE or the other available values.
(Also, put in a warning, as I don't think an onscreen line without
a multidata cache can occur at all.)
Backtracking from the first row is needed in case a start match was
added recently somewhere offscreen and the user jumped to the current
location (instead of scrolling) so that the CWOULDBE markings did not
reach the current lines.
Also, search for an end match only for the first screen row. For the
other rows, rely on the CENDAFTER, CWHOLELINE, and CWOULDBE values to
indicate whether there *is* an end match (the first two values) or not.
This saves considerable time when there is no end match in the large
remainder of a buffer: it will search in vain for the end match just
once, instead of for every row of the screen.
This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59948,
and addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59945.
Bug existed since version 2.7.5, commit b3bcc8ee.
Like the other two fragments that advance over a zero-length match,
also this fragment should avoid the possibility of stepping beyond
the end of the line.
When a zero-length match is beyond the width of the screen, there
is no point in continuing evaluating the rule, so the check for
"offscreen to the right" needs to come first. The check for a
zero-width match needs to come second because otherwise we would
get stuck on such a match when it is offscreen to the left.
When the match of a coloring regex is beyond the width of the screen,
there is no point in continuing to evaluate the regex for the rest of
the line, because any other matches will be offscreen too.
This will save some time when there are several overlong lines.
A syntax has on average a dozen coloring rules, but on average maybe
three or four pieces of text (rough estimate) in a line get painted.
So, on average, it is cheaper to call wattron() and wattroff() only
when actually coloring a piece of text, instead of calling wattron()
before starting to evaluate each rule and wattroff() after finishing
its evaluation.
When reaching end-of-line after having found a zero-width end match,
nano should not continue at 'seek-an-end' but instead at 'step_two':
going on to seek a start match in the current line.
(There is no bug report, because I cannot figure out how to trigger
this issue and cause nano to misbehave. The problem was found while
reviewing the comments.)
Bug existed since commit 9a4a5454 from four years ago,
but the behavior was poorer before that commit.
When the filename, header-line, and magic regexes are first compiled
while reading in the rc files (to check their validity), REG_NOSUB is
used, but for some reason this wasn't done when each of these regexes
gets recompiled in order to be used. Fix this oversight. It shaves
some twenty percent off of each of these regexes' compiling time.
