Problem: New resolve() implementation causes problem for plugins.
Solution: Only resolve a resparse point after checking it is needed. (Ken
Takata, closes#4492)
Problem: MS-Windows: resolve() does not resolve all components of the path.
(David Briscoe)
Solution: Do not bail out for a reparse point. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto,
closes#4211, closes#4447)
Problem: Alloc() returning "char_u *" causes a lot of type casts.
Solution: Have it return "void *". (Mike Williams) Define ALLOC_ONE() to
check the simple allocations.
Problem: Using "int" for alloc() often results in compiler warnings.
Solution: Use "size_t" and remove type casts. Remove alloc_check(), Vim
only works with 32 bit ints anyway.
Problem: Borland support is outdated and doesn't work.
Solution: Remove Borland support, there are other (free) compilers
available. (Thomas Dziedzic, Ken Takata, closes#4364)
Problem: MS-Windows: cannot specify font weight.
Solution: Add the "W" option to 'guifont'. (closes#4309) Move GUI font
explanation out of options.txt.
Problem: MS-Windows: cannot use fonts whose name cannot be represented in
the current code page.
Solution: Use wide font functions. (Ken Takata, closes#4000)
Problem: Macros for MS-Windows are inconsistent, using "32", "3264 and
others.
Solution: Use MSWIN for all MS-Windows builds. Use FEAT_GUI_MSWIN for the
GUI build. (Hirohito Higashi, closes#3932)
Problem: MS-Windows: startup messages are not converted.
Solution: Convert messages when the current codepage differs from
'encoding'. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto, closes#3914)
Problem: Giving error messages is not flexible.
Solution: Add semsg(). Change argument from "char_u *" to "char *", also
for msg() and get rid of most MSG macros. (Ozaki Kiichi, closes
#3302) Also make emsg() accept a "char *" argument. Get rid of
an enormous number of type casts.
Problem: When using ConPTY Vim can be a child process.
Solution: To find a Vim window use both EnumWindows() and
EnumChildWindows(). (Nobuhiro Takasaki, closes#3521)
Problem: With cp932 font names might be misinterpreted.
Solution: Do not see "_" as a space when it is the second byte of a double
byte character. (Ken Takata)
Problem: MS-Windows: Backslashes and wildcards in backticks don't work.
Solution: Do not handle backslashes inside backticks in the wrong place.
(Yasuhiro Matsumoto, closes#1942)
Problem: No redraw after terminal was closed.
Solution: Set typebuf_was_filled. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto, closes#1925, closes
#1924) Add function to check for messages even when input is
available.
Problem: The remote_peek() test fails on MS-Windows.
Solution: Check for pending messages. Also report errors in the first run if
a flaky test fails twice.
Problem: Not enough testing for the client-server feature.
Solution: Add more tests. Add the remote_startserver() function. Fix that
a locally evaluated expression uses function-local variables.
Problem: Asan detects a memory error when EXITFREE is defined. (Dominique
Pelle)
Solution: In getvcol() check for ml_get_buf() returning an empty string.
Also skip adjusting the scroll position. Set "exiting" in
mch_exit() for all systems.
Problem: Code for MS-Windows is complicated because of the exceptions for
old systems.
Solution: Drop support for MS-Windows older than Windows XP. (Ken Takata)
Problem: On MS-Windows large files (> 2Gbyte) cause problems.
Solution: Use "off_T" instead of "off_t". Use "stat_T" instead of "struct
stat". Use 64 bit system functions if available. (Ken Takata)
