ja: the motivation for our own crate is
1. the tempfile crate is probably overkill for such a small
piece of functionality (given that we already assume Unix)
2. we want to have full control over the few temp files we
do create
Closes#12028
Today, this file is only supported in CMake builds. This is the only
place where CMake builds currently need $__fish_data_dir as opposed
to using "status get-file".
Let's embed __fish_build_paths so we can treat it like other assets.
This enables users of "embed-data" to do "rm -rf $__fish_data_dir"
(though that might break plugins).
This completely removes our runtime dependency on gettext. As a
replacement, we have our own code for runtime localization in
`src/wutil/gettext.rs`. It considers the relevant locale variables to
decide which message catalogs to take localizations from. The use of
locale variables is mostly the same as in gettext, with the notable
exception that we do not support "default dialects". If `LANGUAGE=ll` is
set and we don't have a `ll` catalog but a `ll_CC` catalog, we will use
the catalog with the country code suffix. If multiple such catalogs
exist, we use an arbitrary one. (At the moment we have at most one
catalog per language, so this is not particularly relevant.)
By using an `EnvStack` to pass variables to gettext at runtime, we now
respect locale variables which are not exported.
For early output, we don't have an `EnvStack` to pass, so we add an
initialization function which constructs an `EnvStack` containing the
relevant locale variables from the corresponding Environment variables.
Treat `LANGUAGE` as path variable. This add automatic colon-splitting.
The sourcing of catalogs is completely reworked. Instead of looking for
MO files at runtime, we create catalogs as Rust maps at build time, by
converting PO files into MO data, which is not stored, but immediately
parsed to extract the mappings. From the mappings, we create Rust source
code as a build artifact, which is then macro-included in the crate's
library, i.e. `crates/gettext-maps/src/lib.rs`. The code in
`src/wutil/gettext.rs` includes the message catalogs from this library,
resulting in the message catalogs being built into the executable.
The `localize-messages` feature can now be used to control whether to
build with gettext support. By default, it is enabled. If `msgfmt` is
not available at build time, and `gettext` is enabled, a warning will be
emitted and fish is built with gettext support, but without any message
catalogs, so localization will not work then.
As a performance optimization, for each language we cache a separate
Rust source file containing its catalog as a map. This allows us to
reuse parsing results if the corresponding PO files have not changed
since we cached the parsing result.
Note that this approach does not eliminate our build-time dependency on
gettext. The process for generating PO files (which uses `msguniq` and
`msgmerge`) is unchanged, and we still need `msgfmt` to translate from
PO to MO. We could parse PO files directly, but these are significantly
more complex to parse, so we use `msgfmt` to do it for us and parse the
resulting MO data.
Advantages of the new approach:
- We have no runtime dependency on gettext anymore.
- The implementation has the same behavior everywhere.
- Our implementation is significantly simpler than GNU gettext.
- We can have localization in cargo-only builds by embedding
localizations into the code.
Previously, localization in such builds could only work reliably as
long as the binary was not moved from the build directory.
- We no longer have to take care of building and installing MO files in
build systems; everything we need for localization to work happens
automatically when building fish.
- Reduced overhead when disabling localization, both in compilation time
and binary size.
Disadvantages of this approach:
- Our own runtime implementation of gettext needs to be maintained.
- The implementation has a more limited feature set (but I don't think
it lacks any features which have been in use by fish).

Building man pages takes significant time due to Sphinx running for several
seconds, even when no updates are required. Previously, we added custom logic to
avoid calling `sphinx-build` if the inputs to `sphinx-build` had not changed
since a cached timestamp.
By moving this into its own crate, we can tell cargo to rebuild when the input
files changed and unrelated changes will have no effect on this crate. This
allows us to get rid of the custom code for tracking whether to recompile, while
keeping the effect of only calling `sphinx-build` when appropriate.
In order to avoid code duplication, a new `build-helper` crate is added,
which contains some functionality for use in `build.rs`.
Closes#11737
This new wrapper type can be constructed via macros which invoke the
`gettext_extract` proc macro to extract the string literals for PO file
generation.
The type checking enabled by this wrapper should prevent trying to obtain
translations for a string for which none exist.
Because some strings (e.g. for completions) are not defined in Rust, but rather
in fish scripts, the `LocalizableString` type can also be constructed from
non-literals, in which case no extraction happens.
In such cases, it is the programmer's responsibility to only construct the type
for strings which are available for localization.
This approach is a replacement for the `cargo-expand`-based extraction.
When building with the `FISH_GETTEXT_EXTRACTION_FILE` environment variable set,
the `gettext_extract` proc macro will write the messages marked for extraction
to a file in the directory specified by the variable.
Updates to the po files:
- This is the result of running the `update_translations.fish` script using the
new proc_macro extraction. It finds additional messages compared to the
`cargo-expand` based approach.
- Messages IDs corresponding to paths are removed. The do not have localizations
in any language and localizing paths would not make sense. I have not
investigated how they made it into the po files in the first place.
- Some messages are reordered due to `msguniq` sorting differing from `sort`.
Remove docs about installing `cargo-expand`
These are no longer needed due to the switch to our extraction macro.
After nix updated to 0.30, all functions related to file descriptor accepts impl AsFd, e.g., BorrowedFd. This PR is a minimal update. It tries to use impl AsFd as long as possible, but uses BorrowedFd in some places. Yes it introduces unsafe, but doesn't introduce new unsafe code.
Specifically, the width and precision format specifiers are interpreted as
referring to the width of the grapheme clusters rather than the byte count of
the string. Note that grapheme clusters can differ in width.
If a precision is specified for a string, meaning its "maximum number of
characters", we consider this to limit the width displayed.
If there is a grapheme cluster whose width is greater than 1,
it might not be possible to get precisely the desired width.
In such cases, this last grapheme cluster is excluded from the output.
Note that the definitions used here are not consistent with the `string length`
builtin at the moment, but this has already been the case.
When built with the default "installable" feature, the data files (share/) are
included in the fish binary itself.
Run `fish --install` or `fish --install=noconfirm` (for
non-interactive use) to install fish's data files into ~/.local/share/fish/install
To figure out if the data files are out of date, we write the current version
to a file on install, and read it on start.
CMake disables the default features so nothing changes for that, but this allows installing via `cargo install`,
and even making a static binary that you can then just upload and have extract itself.
We set $__fish_help_dir to empty for installable builds, because we do not have
a way to generate html docs (because we need fish_indent for highlighting).
The man pages are found via $__fish_data_dir/man
Make fish-printf no longer depend on the widestring crate, as other clients
won't use it; instead this is an optional feature.
Make format strings a generic type, so that both narrow and wide strings can
serve. This removes a lot of the complexity around converting from narrow to
wide.
Add a README.md to this crate.
This adds a crate containing a new implementation of printf, ported from musl.
This has some advantages:
- locale support is direct instead of being "applied after".
- No dependencies on libc printf. No unsafe code at all.
- No more WideWrite - just uses std::fmt::Write.
- Rounding is handled directly in all cases, instead of relying on Rust and/or
libc.
- No essential dependency on WString.
- Supports %n.
- Implementation is more likely to be correct since it's based on a widely used
printf, instead of a low-traffic Rust crate.
- Significantly faster.
