Recently, I have been looking into different methods for using Vim to syntax highlight small blocks of code. In the process, I found runtime/tools/xcmdsrv_client.c, which worked but seemed a little outdated. So, after working with this a bit, I decided to create a Ruby extension from src/if_xcmdsrv.c. https://github.com/burns/vim_client-ruby This is the most I've ever done in C, so it was quite the learning experience. So, comments/suggestions are certainly welcome :)
While working with this, I found a few things I wanted to submit for changes in if_xcmdsrv.c. I've attached 3 patches, which include my comments. if_xcmdsrv.patch.1 was a duplicate call to ga_init2. if_xcmdsrv.patch.2 deals with the fact that the server is actually sending a response to clients making input key requests (--remote-send), even though they don't expect one, and some other thoughts. if_xcmdsrv.patch.3 suggests some changes to the ServerWait() function, which speeds up response time, handles an issue where the XEvent queue is not being checked when 'localLoop' is true, and a few other thoughts. I appreciate your time - and Vim! :) - Brian -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
