2020-07-08Better handle asynchronous Eldoc sourcesJoão Távora2-7/+10
This is a backward compatible redesign of significant parts of the eldoc.el library. Previously, Eldoc clients (major/minor modes setting its documentation gathering variables) needed to directly call eldoc-message, an internal function, to display the docstring to the user. When more asynchronous sources are involved, this is hard to do or even breaks down. Now, an Eldoc backend may return any non-nil, non-string value and call a callback afterwards. This restores power to Eldoc over how (and crucially also when) to display the docstrings to the user. Among other things, this fixes so called "doc blinking", or the very short-lived display of a lower priority Eldoc message. This would happen if a particular producer of documentation finishes shortly before a higher priority one, like in the LSP engine Eglot as reported by Andrii Kolomoiets <andreyk.mad@gmail.com> and Dmitry Gutov <dgutov@yandex.ru>. Gathering docstrings is now delegated to the variable eldoc-documentation-strategy, which is the new name for the now-obsolete eldoc-documentation-function, and still accepts the so-called "old protocol". Examples of the new strategies enabled are codified in functions such as eldoc-documentation-enthusiast, eldoc-documentation-compose-eagerly, along with the existing eldoc-documentation-compose and eldoc-documentation-default. The work of displaying and formatting docstrings is shifted almost fully to Eldoc itself and is delegated to the internal function eldoc--handle-docs. Among other improvements, it handles most of eldoc-echo-area-use-multiline-p and outputs documentation to a temporary *eldoc* buffer. The manual and NEWS are updated to mention the new Eldoc features. * lisp/emacs-lisp/eldoc.el (eldoc-documentation-functions): Overhaul docstring. (eldoc-documentation-compose, eldoc-documentation-default): Handle non-nil, non-string values of elements of eldoc-documentation-functions. Use eldoc--handle-multiline.

2020-06-27Use getrandom syscall for noncesPaul Eggert1-5/+3
* admin/merge-gnulib (GNULIB_MODULES): Add getrandom. * doc/lispref/text.texi (Format of GnuTLS Cryptography Inputs): Don’t say that iv-auto uses GNUTLS_RND_NONCE. Also, don’t say that it returns the IV’s actual value, as it never has done that. * src/fns.c, src/sysdep.c: Include sys/random.h, for getrandom. * src/fns.c (Fsecure_hash_algorithms): Use getrandom so that this function does not depend on HAVE_GNUTLS3. * src/sysdep.c: Do not include <gnutls/crypto.h>. (random_seed) [HAVE_LRAND48]: Can be long int now. (init_random) [!WINDOWSNT]: Use getrandom syscall instead of opening /dev/urandom, as this works even on GNU/Linux hosts that lack /dev/urandom. Don’t bother with gnutls_rnd as it’s not needed now that we have getrandom.
