Problem: Although patch 9.1.0990 fixed a real problem/inconsistency,
it also introduced new behavior that may break BWC and/or be
unexpected. Before 9.1.0990, window commands could make the
topframe smaller (without changing 'cmdheight'; quirk that is
now fixed), but did not allow extending the topframe beyond
the 'cmdheight' set by the user. After 9.1.0990, the user can
reduce the 'cmdheight' below the value they set explicitly,
through window commands, which may lead to confusion.
(aftere v9.1.0990)
Solution: Store the value explicitly set by the user and clamp the
'cmdheight' when resizing the topframe. This also applies to
dragging laststatus, which in contrast to window commands
_did_ allow reducing the 'cmdheight' to values below the one
set by the user. So with this patch there is still new
behavior, but I think in a way that is less surprising.
While at it, also fix a Coverity warning, introduced in
v9.1.0990 (Luuk van Baal)

vim-patch:9.0.0187: command line height changes when maximizing window height
Problem: Command line height changes when maximizing window height.
Solution: Do not change the command line height. (closesvim/vim#10885)

Problem:
- API functions using `try_start` directly instead of `TRY_WRAP`, do not
surface the underlying error message, and instead show generic things
like "Failed to set buffer".
- Error handling code is duplicated in the API impl, instead of
delegating to the vim buffer/window handling logic.
Solution:
- Use `TRY_WRAP`.
"wininfo" is going to be my next victim. The main problem with wininfo
is that it is "all or nothing", i e either all state about a buffer in a
window is considered valid or none of it is. This needs to be fixed to
address some long running grievances.
For now this is just a warmup: refactor it from a linked list to a
vector.
Problem: the max value of 'cmdheight' is limited by other tabpages
Solution: Limit the maximum value of 'cmdheight' to the current tabpage only.
(Milly)
The Help says that cmdheight is local to the tab page, but says nothing
about the maximum value depending on the state of all tab pages. Users
may wonder why they can't increase cmdheight when there are still rows
available on the current tab page. This PR changes the behavior of
cmdheight so that its maximum value depends only on the state of the
current tab page.
Also, since magic numbers were embedded in various places with the
minimum value of cmdheight being 1, we defined a constant to make it
easier to understand.

Problem: Option metadata like list of valid values for an option and
option flags are not listed in the `options.lua` file and are instead
manually defined in C, which means option metadata is split between
several places.
Solution: Put metadata such as list of valid values for an option and
option flags in `options.lua`, and autogenerate the corresponding C
variables and enums.
Supersedes #28659
Co-authored-by: glepnir <glephunter@gmail.com>
Problem:
The way option scopes currently work is inflexible and does not allow for nested
option scopes or easily finding the value of an option at any arbitrary scope
without having to do long handwritten switch-case statements like in
`get_varp()`. `.indir` is also confusing and redundant since option indices for
each scope can be autogenerated.
Solution:
Expand option scopes in such a way that an option can support any amount of
scopes using a set of scope flags, similarly to how it's already done for option
types. Also make options contain information about its index at each scope it
supports. This allows for massively simplifying `get_varp()` and
`get_varp_scope()` in the future by just using a struct for options at each
scope. This would be done by creating a table that stores the offset of an
option's variable at a scope by using the option's index at that scope as a key.
This PR also autogenerates enums for option indices at each scope to remove the
need for `.indir` entirely, and also to allow easily iterating over options all
options that support any scope.

which prevents a use-after-free by setting those pointers

Problem:
Variables are often assigned multiple places in common patterns.
Solution:
Replace these common patterns with different patterns that reduce the
number of assignments.
Use `MAX` and `MIN`:
```c
if (x < y) {
x = y;
}
// -->
x = MAX(x, y);
```
```c
if (x > y) {
x = y;
}
// -->
x = MIN(x, y);
```
Use ternary:
```c
int a;
if (cond) {
a = b;
} els {
a = c;
}
// -->
int a = cond ? b : c;
```
Problem: When :edit an existing buffer, line('w$') may return a
wrong result.
Solution: Reset w_valid in curwin_init() (Jaehwang Jung)
`do_ecmd()` reinitializes the current window (`curwin_init()`) whose
`w_valid` field may have `VALID_BOTLINE` set. Resetting `w_botline`
without marking it as invalid makes subsequent `validate_botline()`
calls a no-op, thus resulting in wrong `line('w$')` value.

Problem: Renaming non-current buffer changes working directory when
'autochdir' is set.
Solution: Temporarily disable 'autochdir'. Add more tests for the
win_set_buf change.
Problem: noautocmd is confusing; despite its name, it doesn't block all
autocommands (instead it blocks only those related to setting the buffer), and
is commonly used by plugins to open windows while producing minimal
side-effects.
Solution: be consistent and block all autocommands when noautocmd is set.
This includes WinNew (again), plus autocommands from entering the window (if
enter is set) like WinEnter, WinLeave, TabEnter, .etc.
See the discussion at https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/14659#issuecomment-2040029517
for more information.
Remove win_set_buf's noautocmd argument, as it's no longer needed.
NOTE: pum_create_float_preview sets noautocmd for win_set_buf, but all its
callers already use block_autocmds.
Despite that, pum_create_float_preview doesn't actually properly handle
autocommands (it has no checks for whether those from win_enter or
nvim_create_buf free the window).
For now, ensure autocommands are blocked within it for correctness (in case it's
ever called outside of a block_autocmds context; the function seems to have been
refactored in #26739 anyway).
Problem: Autocommand may change currect directory after :tcd and :lcd.
Solution: Also clear tp_localdir and w_localdir when using aucmd_win.

Problem: using win_viewport for implementing smooth scrolling in an external
UI might run into problems when winbar or borders is used, as there is
no indication that the entire grid is not used for scrolled buffer text.
Solution: add `win_viewport_margins` event.
Problem: winframe functions incorrectly recompute window positions if
the altframe wasn't adjacent to the closed frame, which is
possible if adjacent windows had 'winfix{width,height}' set.
Solution: recompute for windows within the parent of the altframe and
closed frame. Skip this (as before) if the altframe was
top/left, but only if adjacent to the closed frame, as
positions won't change in that case. Also correct the return
value documentation for win_screenpos. (Sean Dewar)
The issue revealed itself after removing the win_comp_pos call below
winframe_restore in win_splitmove. Similarly, wrong positions could result from
windows closed in other tabpages, as win_free_mem uses winframe_remove (at least
until it is entered later, where enter_tabpage calls win_comp_pos).
NOTE: As win_comp_pos handles only curtab, it's possible via other means for
positions in non-current tabpages to be wrong (e.g: after changing 'laststatus',
'showtabline', etc.). Given enter_tabpage recomputes it, maybe it's intentional
as an optimization? Should probably be documented in win_screenpos then, but I
won't address that here.

Nvim: don't reuse "wp" for "topleft" in winframe_remove, so the change

Problem: small improvements can be made to split-move related
functions.
Solution: apply them (Sean Dewar):
Some of these changes were already applied to Nvim.
Here are the ones which were missing:
- Improve some doc comments (frame_flatten should still work for non-current
tabpages, despite the topframe check, which looks benign, though I'm unsure if
it's still needed; see vim/vim#2467).
- f_win_splitmove should check_split_disallowed on wp, not targetwin, as that's
what win_splitmove checks (though it's probably unnecessary to check
b_locked_split at all; see vim/vim#14109, which I hope to get around to
finishing at some point).
- Apply the winframe_restore comment changes, and remove win_comp_pos from after
winframe_restore in win_splitmove, as it shouldn't be necessary (no need to
remove it from nvim_win_set_config too, as it was already omitted).
Move win_append after winframe_restore in win_splitmove to match Vim.

Problem: more places exist where curwin == prevwin, and it may even be
expected in some cases.
Solution: revert v9.1.0001, but document that it's possible instead.
(Sean Dewar)
I've had a change of heart for the following reasons:
- A quick 'n dirty [GitHub code search](https://github.com/search?q=%2F%28winnr%5C%28%5C%29%5Cs*%3D%3D%5Cs*winnr%5C%28%5B%27%22%5D%23%5B%27%22%5D%5C%29%7Cwinnr%5C%28%5B%27%22%5D%23%5B%27%22%5D%5C%29%5Cs*%3D%3D%5Cs*winnr%5C%28%5C%29%29%2F&type=code)
reveals some cases where it's expected in the wild.
Particularly, it made me aware `winnr() == winnr('#')` is possible when curwin
is changed temporarily during the evaluation of a &statusline expression item
(`%{...}`), and is used to show something different on the statusline
belonging to the previous window; that behaviour wasn't changed in v9.1.0001,
but it means curwin == prevwin makes sense in some cases.
- The definition and call sites of back_to_prevwin imply some expectation that
prevwin == wp (== curwin) is possible, as it's used to skip entering the
prevwin in that case.
- Prior to v9.1.0001, `:wincmd p` would not beep in the case that was patched in
v9.1.0001, but now does. That resulted in vim/vim#14047 being opened, as it affected
the CtrlP plugin.
I find it odd that `:wincmd p` had cases where it wouldn't beep despite doing
nothing, but it may be preferable to keep things that way (or instead also
beep if curwin == prevwin, if that's preferred).
- After more digging, I found cases in win_free_mem, enter_tabpage,
aucmd_restbuf and qf_open_new_cwindow where curwin == prevwin is possible
(many of them from autocommands). Others probably exist too, especially in
places where curwin is changed temporarily.

Problem: several minor 'winfixbuf' issues exist, mostly relating to the
quickfix list
Solution: address them and adjust tests. Retab and reflow a few things too.
(Sean Dewar)
Things touched include:
- Replace the semsgs with gettext'd emsgs.
- Handle window switching in ex_listdo properly, so curbuf and curwin
are kept in-sync and trigger autocommands; handle those properly.
- Don't change the list entry index in qf_jump_edit_buffer if we fail
due to 'wfb' (achieved by returning FAIL; QF_ABORT should only be used
if the list was changed).
- Make qf_jump_edit_buffer actually switch to prevwin when using `:cXX`
commands **outside** of the list window if 'wfb' is set in curwin.
Handle autocommands properly in case they mess with the list.
NOTE: previously, it seemed to split if 'wfb' was set, but do nothing
and fail if prevwin is *valid*. This behaviour seemed strange, and maybe
unintentional? Now it aligns more with what's described for the `:cXX`
commands in the original PR description when used outside a list window,
I think.
- In both functions, only consider prevwin if 'wfb' isn't set for it;
fallback to splitting otherwise.
- Use win_split to split. Not sure if there was a specific reason for
using ex_splitview. win_split is simpler and respects modifiers like
:vertical that may have been used. Plus, its return value can be checked
for setting opened_window in qf code (technically win_split_ins autocmds
could immediately close it or change windows, in which the qf code might
close some other window on failure; it's already the case elsewhere,
though).

This reverts PR #27793.
On second thought, this solution may still crash, because it can leave a
window with a NULL buffer if there are autocommand windows or if closing
a floating window fails. It also makes close_last_window_tabpage() more
complicated, so revert it.
Problem: Crash in WinClosed after BufUnload closes other windows
Solution: Don't trigger WinClosed if the buffer is NULL (zeertzjq)
Now win_close_othertab() doesn't trigger any autocommands if the buffer
is NULL, so remove the autocmd blocking above (which was added not long
ago in patch v9.0.0550) for consistency.
Also remove an unreachable close_last_window_tabpage() above:
- It is only reached if only_one_window() returns TRUE and last_window()
returns FALSE.
- If only_one_window() returns TRUE, there is only one tabpage.
- If there is only one tabpage and last_window() returns FALSE, the
one_window() in last_window() must return FALSE, and the ONE_WINDOW
in close_last_window_tabpage() must also be FALSE.
- So close_last_window_tabpage() doesn't do anything and returns FALSE.
Then the curtab != prev_curtab check also doesn't make much sense, and
the only_one_window() can be replaced with a check for popup and a call
to last_window() since this is a stricter check than only_one_window().
