These were issues that I found while porting that I fixed upstream. :^)
Very little of the patch can be exactly ported as we're a bit behind on
dependant patches (we also can't use the exact :for emsg, as we don't
support iterating over Strings yet), so just translate the fixes as best
as we can for now.
Include latest relevant doc changes from:
- v8.1.0815
- v8.2.2658
Problem: Crash when reading a blob fails.
Solution: Avoid keeping a pointer to a freed blob object. (Dominique Pelle,
closesvim/vim#5890) Adjust error messages.
15352dc6ec
Problem: Blob test fails.
Solution: Check for different error when float feature is missing.
92be6e3f46
Nvim always has the float feature, but include the changes to the test
anyway.
Problem: Negative index doesn't work for Blob.
Solution: Make it work, add a test. (closesvim/vim#3856)
a5be9b6248
Leave tv_blob_get()'s return type untouched.
Problem: Incorrect error messages for functions that now take a Blob
argument.
Solution: Adjust the error messages. (Dominique Pelle, closesvim/vim#3846)
0d17f0d1c0
Problem: Code for Blob not sufficiently tested.
Solution: Add more tests. Fix uncovered crash. Add test_null_blob().
c0f5a78c15
eval0 and ex_echo's emsg-specific changes have already been ported.
These tests uncover another crash that was fixed in v8.1.0738.
Problem: Cannot handle binary data.
Solution: Add the Blob type. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto, closesvim/vim#3638)
6e5ea8d2a9
Nvim-specific Blob conversions are implemented in future commits.
Refactor write_blob() to use a FileDescriptor, as f_writefile() was
refactored to use one (does not apply to read_blob()).
Use var_check_lock() in f_add() for Blobs from v8.1.0897.
Add a modeline to test_blob.vim and fix some doc typos.
Include if_perl.txt's VIM::Blob() documentation. Interestingly, this
function already worked before this port, as it just returns a Blob
string literal, not an actual Blob object.
N/A patches for version.c:
vim-patch:8.1.0741: viminfo with Blob is not tested
Problem: Viminfo with Blob is not tested.
Solution: Extend the viminfo test. Fix reading a blob. Fixed storing a
special variable value.
8c8b8bb56c
vim-patch:8.1.1022: may use NULL pointer when out of memory
Problem: May use NULL pointer when out of memory. (Coverity)
Solution: Check for blob_alloc() returning NULL.
