This allows us to notice and report any regressions that have occured on
nightly, without requiring tests to pass on nightly for the entire build
to succeed.
The `fast_finish` flag will cause Travis to mark the build as successful
if the only builds still running are allowed to fail (e.g. `nightly`).
This allows us to manually inspect builds (or implement some form of
notifications) to see if any nightly regressions have occured, without
slowing down the overall build time.
Notable about this implementation is it takes a different approach for
managing cursor cells that previously. The terminal Grid is now
borrowed *immutably*. Instead of mutating Cells in the Grid, a list is
managed within the RenderableCellsIter. The cell at the cursor location
is skipped over, and instead cells are popped off a list of cursor
cells.
It would be good in the future to share some more code between the
different cursor style implementations for populating the cursor cells
list.
Supercedes #349.
Previously, the fallback symbol font copied the style of the font from
the config. However, the only available style for the fallback symbol
font is Normal slant, Normal weight.
* Parse cli arguments before configuration file
Parsing the cli arguments before the configuration file allows `--help`
and `--version` to be used even if the configuration file is broken.
* Add configuration file to command line arguments
This commit adds a new command line flag `--config-file` to override the default
configuration file location. If the specified file is unavailable,
Alacritty will quit instead of generating a fallback. If the specified
file is invalid, i.e. /dev/null, the compiled in defaults will be loaded
instead.
As it turns out, FreeType does not always provide glyph data in LCD mode
as we requested. We now correctly handle several common modes returned
from FreeType including Lcd, Mono, and Gray.
Note that we don't check number of grays at this time since it's
1. Almost always 256, according to FreeType docs
2. Not available in the Rust FreeType bindings being used

Ownership of the slave file descriptor is passed to the process::Stdio
structs and will be closed when they are dropped. If the slave fd is
closed explicitly then the next fd that is opened during the same scope
will get silently closed by the Stdio structs when they are dropped.
Based on option `command` in key binding section in config, e.g.
- { key: N, mods: Control|Shift, command: alacritty }
# or
- {
key: N,
mods: Control|Shift,
command: {
program: "alacritty",
args: ["-e", "vttest"],
}}
specified command will be run in the background on key press. Alacritty
doesn't wait for its result nor block IO.
Background:
If a shell process exits with children still alive (typically due to the
`disown` shell builtin), POLLHUP will not be sent to the master PTY file
descriptor. This is due to the fact that the disowned process still has
the slave PTY open as its STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR.
If a disowned process never reads or writes from its file descriptors
(which is often the case for graphical applications), the event loop
will end up blocking on poll()/select() when not handling user input
received over the mio channel. When Alacritty shuts down and joins on the
event loop thread, there can never be any more input on the mio channel -
the main thread is no longer handling user keystrokes from the window. Unless
a disowned process happens to access its slave PTY file descriptors, the
event loop will never get the chance to deetect that it should exit.
This commit extends the `Msg` enum to include an explicit `Shutdown`
message, which ensures a clean shutdown (e.g. closing the 'recording'
file). This allows the select()/poll() call to remain blocking, instead
of needing to periodically check the shutdown state in between
timed-out calls.
Fixes#339
Any action that results in 0 bytes, such as pasting 0 bytes
from the clipboard hangs the terminal (`pbcopy </dev/null`
followed by ctrl-v), hangs the terminal on both macOS and
Linux. This ensures we never send 0 bytes.
Padding can be configured by using the `padding` field in the config
file, like so:
padding:
x: 2
y: 2
which would result in a 2px padding within each side of the window.
The two structs are very similar, so there is no reason for them to be
separate. Instead combine them into a single Delta struct, which can be
used to shift a point in a two dimensional plane.
The font metrics function was using freetype metrics in an ineffective
way, improve the use of those metrics and remove the now unnecessary
separate default values for font offset in linux.
