- Implement `loop_schedule` method for queueing events from other threads
- Make `loop_poll_events` `recursive` static variable a field of the Loop
structure
The new event processing architecture changed `jobwait()` semantics: Only one
job is processed at time since process_wait only focuses on one queue.
This fixes the problem with a few changes:
- Allow the event queue polled by `process_wait` to be overriden by a new
argument.
- Allow the parent queue to be overriden with `queue_replace_parent`
- Create a temporary queue that serves as the parent for all jobs passed to
`jobwait()`
- Improve the implementation of deferred/immediate events.
- Use the new queue module to change how/when events are queued/processed by
giving a private queue to each emitter.
- Immediate events(which only exist to break uv_run recursion) are now
represented in the `loop->fast_events` queue.
- Events pushed to child queues are propagated to the event loop main queue and
processed as K_EVENT keys.
- New libuv/pty process abstraction with simplified API and no globals.
- Remove nvim/os/job*. Jobs are now a concept that apply only to programs
spawned by vimscript job* functions.
- Refactor shell.c/channel.c to use the new module, which brings a number of
advantages:
- Simplified API, less code
- No slots in the user job table are used
- Not possible to acidentally receive data from vimscript
- Implement job table in eval.c, which is now a hash table with unilimited job
slots and unique job ids.
- Add event loop abstraction module under src/nvim/event. The
src/nvim/event/loop module replaces src/nvim/os/event
- Remove direct dependency on libuv signal/timer API and use the new abstraction
instead.
- Replace all references to uv_default_loop() by &loop.uv, a new global variable
that wraps libuv main event loop but allows the event loop functions to be
reused in other contexts.
