Reduce the time spent to build the request when there are a lot of buffers by:
- using the options property on the buffer object to get the mod variable
instead of evaluating getbufvar;
- not computing the buffer filepath if the buffer is not modified;
- passing the number of the unloaded buffer instead of its filepath on the
BufferUnload event. Getting the Python buffer object from its number is
easier than from its filepath.
On non-Windows platforms, a ConnectionError exception is raised instead
of a ConnectTimeout one when the connection cannot be established (e.g.
the server crashed). Since the latter is a subclass of the former, we
only need to catch ConnectionError.
Send the request as the unloaded buffer instead of the current buffer
for the BufferUnload event notification. This fixes the issue where
the filetype of the current buffer is not the same as the unloaded
buffer one, making the ycmd server uses the wrong completer when
handling the request.
When an error occurs during completions, a message is displayed on
the status line. If this message is longer than the width of the
current window, Vim will prompt the user to press enter or type a
command to hide the message, interrupting user workflow. We prevent
that by truncating the message to window width.
Merge PostMultiLineNotice, EchoText, and EchoTextVimWidth functions
into PostVimMessage.
Previously, we'd just use json.dumps() to dump out JSON. By default,
ensure_ascii is set to true and non-ASCII chars are encoded as \uXXXX.
Problems seem to happen with other text in the data then not being utf8. I'm not
sure why, still can't repro. This should go away now that we explicitly build a
unicode string which we then encode as utf8.
Hopefully fixes#821.
If it takes a while to compile the user's C++ file, the YCM client/server may
run out of threads. Vim gets laggy then.
This is a stopgap measure until I think of something better.
When I initially released this project, I released it under my own copyright. I
have since then worked on it in my 20% time at Google (and want to continue
doing this) and my life becomes much simpler if the copyright is Google's.
From the perspective of how this project is run and managed, **NOTHING**
changes. YCM is not a Google product, merely a project run by someone who just
happens to work for Google.
Please note that the license of the project is **NOT** changing.
People sending in future pull requests will have to sign the Google
[CLA](https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual) (you can sign
online at the bottom of that page) before those pull requests could be merged
in. People who sent in pull requests that were merged in the past will get an
email from me asking them to sign the CLA as well.
This option existed so that the user can tweak it if they found the default idle
timeout too short, for instance if they leave their machine on over the weekend.
This use case is now covered by the new YcmdKeepalive system that pings ycmd
every 10 minutes as long as Vim is running. This prevents ycmd shutting down if
one leaves their Vim instance alone for a long time.
Thus the old option is useless now; ycmd now shuts down after 3 hours of
inactivity, which should only ever happen when its corresponding Vim instance
has shut down abnormally.
By default, a ThreadPoolExecutor will wait at Python interpreter shutdown for
all the threads to stop by themselves before letting the interpreter shut down.
We don't want that for the network requests thread pool, it causes a shutdown
latency if there are outstanding requests. Killing the threads in our pool is
perfectly safe so we can avoid the latency by introducing an
UnsafeThreadPoolExecutor.
It appears that the issue comes from sending a None timeout to Requests. It
seems it's a bug in Requests/urllib3. So we just pick an arbitrary long timeout
of 30s as the default.
Vim still loves to block the main GUI thread on occasion when asking for
completions... to counteract this stupidity, we enforce a hard budget of 0.5s
for all completion requests. If the server doesn't respond by then (it should,
unless something really bad happened), we give up.
The problem was that when you start vim like "vim foo.cc", the FileReadyToParse
event is sent to the server before it's actually started up. Basically, a race
condition.
We _really_ don't want to miss that event. For C++ files, it tells the server to
start compiling the file.
So now PostDataToHandlerAsync in BaseRequest will retry the request 3 times
(with exponential backoff) before failing, thus giving the server time to boot.
