msteveb / linenoise Goto Github PK

From arangodb/arangodb#1187:

1. If you hit backspace with no character entered, arangosh [...]> disappears, and re-appears if you type something in
2. If you delete characters and the code wraps to a 2nd line past the length of the string
   arangosh [...]>, the last character won't be cleared and will thus appear as many times as you hit Backspace / Del. The superfluous chars are removed as soon as the line length drops low enough (around character 80 of the entered code).

AFAIK ArangoDB uses https://github.com/antirez/linenoise, so I wonder if it's fixed in this fork?

I noticed that stringbuf.h has a copyright statement but no license statement, and stringbuf.c has neither... to be sure, are they using the same license as the rest of linenoise?

As I'm sure you figured out, I use your fork in a project that has Windows building in CI. Today I updated the repo and compilation broke. I narrowed it down to 7109cc6. I'm unable to make a PR fixing this right now, as I'm not sure if this block should be exclusive to non-Windows, or if it should be handled appropriately on both operating systems somehow.

ETA: The reason compilation breaks is that the fd field is not defined on Windows.

./linenoise_utf8_example --multiline
[paste several lines of text]
result isn't what I expect (i expected
echo 'a1
a2
a3'

but insead i just get echo 'a1'

Is there another way to enter multiple lines of text?
(i was hoping for somehing like shift enter etc)

Several of the files (like this) refer to a LICENSE file which does not exist.

If I run the example, I can paste CR or CR+LF lines:

$ ./linenoise_example
hello> expr 5 + 2
echo: 'expr 5 + 2'
hello> expr 5 - 2
echo: 'expr 5 - 2'

but if I try to paste LF lines, I get unexpected result:

$ ./linenoise_example
hello> expr 5 + 2expr 5 - 2
echo: 'expr 5 + 2expr 5 - 2'
