I finally got round to building Vim with the cdo.diff patch and I'm currently
test-driving it.
First thing I tried was populating the quickfix list using :Ggrep (a wrapper
for git-grep supplied by the fugitive.vim plugin). Then I made a change to
every line in the quickfix list:
:cdo normal A -- it works!
Then I updated each of the files listed in the quickfix list:
:cfdo update
Both commands worked as expected.
I did notice one oddity: after running :cdo, the syntax highlighting is
disabled for each file listed in the quickfix list with the exception of the
last file, which has syntax highlighting enabled. The documentation says that
disabling syntax highlighting gives a performance boost, which is good to know.
My guess is that syntax highlighting is supposed to be re-enabled after running
:cdo, but there's some bug that causes it to be re-enabled only for the last
file in the list. I have observed similar behaviour when using the :argdo
command, so perhaps this bug (if it is a bug) is out of scope for this
particular patch.
These are my initial observations. I'll keep on using my build with the
cdo.diff patch and report back with any further findings.
Thanks,
Drew
