Hi, I've been having problems with dead key behavior under Windows since Vim v7.3 (gVim only, the console version does not seem to be affected). In insert mode, when I type ' followed by space, it's supposed to insert a ', but since 7.3 it just seems to add the ' to the buffer and does not insert it.
If I read the thread right, this is the same problem that was described there : https://groups.google.com/d/topic/vim_dev/uRgvH5dtAkM/discussion Anyway, I researched the problem for a while, built vim myself, and got to the conclusion that the problem was related to a Microsoft compiler bug (http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/792598/msvc-10-11-compiler-optimizations-may-produce-incorrect-code ) where the compiler that ships with Visual Studio 2010 (cl.exe v16, if I recall correctly) can produce incorrect code when optimizing. And, indeed, gVim behaves correctly when compiled without optimizations ("OPTIMIZE=SPACE"). So I upgraded my compiler, and managed to build a working gVim with optimizations using the compiler shipped with Visual Studio Express 2013 (cl.exe v18). So my question is : are the official Windows releases of Vim built using cl.exe v16, and if so is it possible to upgrade the compiler ? I'm fine with building Vim myself, but shipping an official version without the dead keys problem would be nice too :) -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
