I was in the source and accidentally bumped into the code that does
this. Here is the comment above that function:
/*
* Check for: [r][e][g][vi|vim|view][diff][ex[im]]
* If the executable name starts with "r" we disable shell commands.
* If the next character is "e" we run in Easy mode.
* If the next character is "g" we run the GUI version.
* If the next characters are "view" we start in readonly mode.
* If the next characters are "diff" or "vimdiff" we start in diff mode.
* If the next characters are "ex" we start in Ex mode. If it's followed
* by "im" use improved Ex mode.
*/
The code walks through the command name that invoked vim, and the [g]
is indeed only checked at that point. So, the 'g' in huge does not
automatically trigger a GUI, or at least, should not...
Not sure where your problem comes from, but not from this part of the code...
I see that the comment does not specify what it does with the [vi] and
[vim] parts of the command name, but these are implied, I guess.
Hey, weird... according to the spec above, I _should_ be able to start
with 'viex' or 'viexim', but that is not caught at all!
if (STRNICMP(initstr, "view", 4) == 0)
{
readonlymode = TRUE;
curbuf->b_p_ro = TRUE;
p_uc = 10000; /* don't update very often */
initstr += 4;
}
else if (STRNICMP(initstr, "vim", 3) == 0)
initstr += 3;
(I would expect to have a check for "vi" and an "initstr += 2;" as wel...)
Bram, should the pattern at the top of this function be changed to
note that these names for the executable are not recognized? Not sure
if 'viex' or 'viexim' would make sense...
