||||
Repeating commands, Vim scripts and debugging *repeating*
|
||||
|
||||
Chapter 26 of the user manual introduces repeating |usr_26.txt|.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Single repeats |single-repeat|
|
||||
2. Multiple repeats |multi-repeat|
|
||||
3. Complex repeats |complex-repeat|
|
||||
4. Using Vim scripts |using-scripts|
|
||||
5. Debugging scripts |debug-scripts|
|
||||
6. Profiling |profiling|
|
||||
|
||||
==============================================================================
|
||||
1. Single repeats *single-repeat*
|
||||
|
||||
*.*
|
||||
. Repeat last change, with count replaced with [count].
|
||||
Also repeat a yank command, when the 'y' flag is
|
||||
included in 'cpoptions'. Does not repeat a
|
||||
command-line command.
|
||||
|
||||
Simple changes can be repeated with the "." command. Without a count, the
|
||||
count of the last change is used. If you enter a count, it will replace the
|
||||
last one. If the last change included a specification of a numbered register,
|
||||
the register number will be incremented. See |redo-register| for an example
|
||||
how to use this. Note that when repeating a command that used a Visual
|
||||
selection, the same SIZE of area is used, see |visual-repeat|.
|
||||
|
||||
*@:*
|
||||
@: Repeat last command-line [count] times.
|
||||
{not available when compiled without the
|
||||
|+cmdline_hist| feature}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
==============================================================================
|
||||
2. Multiple repeats *multi-repeat*
|
||||
|
||||
*:g* *:global* *E147* *E148*
|
||||
:[range]g[lobal]/{pattern}/[cmd]
|
||||
Execute the Ex command [cmd] (default ":p") on the
|
||||
lines within [range] where {pattern} matches.
|
||||
|
||||
:[range]g[lobal]!/{pattern}/[cmd]
|
||||
Execute the Ex command [cmd] (default ":p") on the
|
||||
lines within [range] where {pattern} does NOT match.
|
||||
|
||||
*:v* *:vglobal*
|
||||
:[range]v[global]/{pattern}/[cmd]
|
||||
Same as :g!.
|
||||
|
||||
Instead of the '/' which surrounds the {pattern}, you can use any other
|
||||
single byte character, but not an alphabetic character, '\', '"' or '|'.
|
||||
This is useful if you want to include a '/' in the search pattern or
|
||||
replacement string.
|
||||
|
||||
For the definition of a pattern, see |pattern|.
|
||||
|
||||
The global commands work by first scanning through the [range] lines and
|
||||
marking each line where a match occurs (for a multi-line pattern, only the
|
||||
start of the match matters).
|
||||
In a second scan the [cmd] is executed for each marked line with its line
|
||||
number prepended. For ":v" and ":g!" the command is executed for each not
|
||||
marked line. If a line is deleted its mark disappears.
|
||||
The default for [range] is the whole buffer (1,$). Use "CTRL-C" to interrupt
|
||||
the command. If an error message is given for a line, the command for that
|
||||
line is aborted and the global command continues with the next marked or
|
||||
unmarked line.
|
||||
|
||||
To repeat a non-Ex command, you can use the ":normal" command: >
|
||||
:g/pat/normal {commands}
|
||||
Make sure that {commands} ends with a whole command, otherwise Vim will wait
|
||||
for you to type the rest of the command for each match. The screen will not
|
||||
have been updated, so you don't know what you are doing. See |:normal|.
|
||||
|
||||
The undo/redo command will undo/redo the whole global command at once.
|
||||
The previous context mark will only be set once (with "''" you go back to
|
||||
where the cursor was before the global command).
|
||||
|
||||
The global command sets both the last used search pattern and the last used
|
||||
substitute pattern (this is vi compatible). This makes it easy to globally
|
||||
replace a string:
|
||||
:g/pat/s//PAT/g
|
||||
This replaces all occurrences of "pat" with "PAT". The same can be done with:
|
||||
:%s/pat/PAT/g
|
||||
Which is two characters shorter!
|
||||
|
||||
When using "global" in Ex mode, a special case is using ":visual" as a
|
||||
command. This will move to a matching line, go to Normal mode to let you
|
||||
execute commands there until you use |Q| to return to Ex mode. This will be
|
||||
repeated for each matching line. While doing this you cannot use ":global".
|
||||
To abort this type CTRL-C twice.
|
||||
|
||||
==============================================================================
|
||||
3. Complex repeats *complex-repeat*
|
||||
|
||||
*q* *recording*
|
||||
q{0-9a-zA-Z"} Record typed characters into register {0-9a-zA-Z"}
|
||||
(uppercase to append). The 'q' command is disabled
|
||||
while executing a register, and it doesn't work inside
|
||||
a mapping and |:normal|. {Vi: no recording}
|
||||
|
||||
q Stops recording. (Implementation note: The 'q' that
|
||||
stops recording is not stored in the register, unless
|
||||
it was the result of a mapping) {Vi: no recording}
|
||||
|
||||
*@*
|
||||
@{0-9a-z".=*+} Execute the contents of register {0-9a-z".=*+} [count]
|
||||
times. Note that register '%' (name of the current
|
||||
file) and '#' (name of the alternate file) cannot be
|
||||
used.
|
||||
The register is executed like a mapping, that means
|
||||
that the difference between 'wildchar' and 'wildcharm'
|
||||
applies.
|
||||
For "@=" you are prompted to enter an expression. The
|
||||
result of the expression is then executed.
|
||||
See also |@:|. {Vi: only named registers}
|
||||
|
||||
*@@* *E748*
|
||||
@@ Repeat the previous @{0-9a-z":*} [count] times.
|
||||
|
||||
:[addr]*{0-9a-z".=+} *:@* *:star*
|
||||
:[addr]@{0-9a-z".=*+} Execute the contents of register {0-9a-z".=*+} as an Ex
|
||||
command. First set cursor at line [addr] (default is
|
||||
current line). When the last line in the register does
|
||||
not have a <CR> it will be added automatically when
|
||||
the 'e' flag is present in 'cpoptions'.
|
||||
Note that the ":*" command is only recognized when the
|
||||
'*' flag is present in 'cpoptions'. This is NOT the
|
||||
default when 'nocompatible' is used.
|
||||
For ":@=" the last used expression is used. The
|
||||
result of evaluating the expression is executed as an
|
||||
Ex command.
|
||||
Mappings are not recognized in these commands.
|
||||
{Vi: only in some versions} Future: Will execute the
|
||||
register for each line in the address range.
|
||||
|
||||
*:@:*
|
||||
:[addr]@: Repeat last command-line. First set cursor at line
|
||||
[addr] (default is current line). {not in Vi}
|
||||
|
||||
*:@@*
|
||||
:[addr]@@ Repeat the previous :@{0-9a-z"}. First set cursor at
|
||||
line [addr] (default is current line). {Vi: only in
|
||||
some versions}
|
||||
|
||||
==============================================================================
|
||||
4. Using Vim scripts *using-scripts*
|
||||
|
||||
For writing a Vim script, see chapter 41 of the user manual |usr_41.txt|.
|
||||
|
||||
*:so* *:source* *load-vim-script*
|
||||
:so[urce] {file} Read Ex commands from {file}. These are commands that
|
||||
start with a ":".
|
||||
Triggers the |SourcePre| autocommand.
|
||||
|
||||
:so[urce]! {file} Read Vim commands from {file}. These are commands
|
||||
that are executed from Normal mode, like you type
|
||||
them.
|
||||
When used after |:global|, |:argdo|, |:windo|,
|
||||
|:bufdo|, in a loop or when another command follows
|
||||
the display won't be updated while executing the
|
||||
commands.
|
||||
{not in Vi}
|
||||
|
||||
*:ru* *:runtime*
|
||||
:ru[ntime][!] {file} ..
|
||||
Read Ex commands from {file} in each directory given
|
||||
by 'runtimepath'. There is no error for non-existing
|
||||
files. Example: >
|
||||
:runtime syntax/c.vim
|
||||
|
||||
< There can be multiple {file} arguments, separated by
|
||||
spaces. Each {file} is searched for in the first
|
||||
directory from 'runtimepath', then in the second
|
||||
directory, etc. Use a backslash to include a space
|
||||
inside {file} (although it's better not to use spaces
|
||||
in file names, it causes trouble).
|
||||
|
||||
When [!] is included, all found files are sourced.
|
||||
When it is not included only the first found file is
|
||||
sourced.
|
||||
|
||||
When {file} contains wildcards it is expanded to all
|
||||
matching files. Example: >
|
||||
:runtime! plugin/*.vim
|
||||
< This is what Vim uses to load the plugin files when
|
||||
starting up. This similar command: >
|
||||
:runtime plugin/*.vim
|
||||
< would source the first file only.
|
||||
|
||||
When 'verbose' is one or higher, there is a message
|
||||
when no file could be found.
|
||||
When 'verbose' is two or higher, there is a message
|
||||
about each searched file.
|
||||
{not in Vi}
|
||||
|
||||
:scripte[ncoding] [encoding] *:scripte* *:scriptencoding* *E167*
|
||||
Specify the character encoding used in the script.
|
||||
The following lines will be converted from [encoding]
|
||||
to the value of the 'encoding' option, if they are
|
||||
different. Examples: >
|
||||
scriptencoding iso-8859-5
|
||||
scriptencoding cp932
|
||||
<
|
||||
When [encoding] is empty, no conversion is done. This
|
||||
can be used to restrict conversion to a sequence of
|
||||
lines: >
|
||||
scriptencoding euc-jp
|
||||
... lines to be converted ...
|
||||
scriptencoding
|
||||
... not converted ...
|
||||
|
||||
< When conversion isn't supported by the system, there
|
||||
is no error message and no conversion is done.
|
||||
|
||||
Don't use "ucs-2" or "ucs-4", scripts cannot be in
|
||||
these encodings (they would contain NUL bytes).
|
||||
When a sourced script starts with a BOM (Byte Order
|
||||
Mark) in utf-8 format Vim will recognize it, no need
|
||||
to use ":scriptencoding utf-8" then.
|
||||
|
||||
When compiled without the |+multi_byte| feature this
|
||||
command is ignored.
|
||||
{not in Vi}
|
||||
|
||||
*:scrip* *:scriptnames*
|
||||
:scrip[tnames] List all sourced script names, in the order they were
|
||||
first sourced. The number is used for the script ID
|
||||
|<SID>|.
|
||||
{not in Vi} {not available when compiled without the
|
||||
|+eval| feature}
|
||||
|
||||
*:fini* *:finish* *E168*
|
||||
:fini[sh] Stop sourcing a script. Can only be used in a Vim
|
||||
script file. This is a quick way to skip the rest of
|
||||
the file. If it is used after a |:try| but before the
|
||||
matching |:finally| (if present), the commands
|
||||
following the ":finally" up to the matching |:endtry|
|
||||
are executed first. This process applies to all
|
||||
nested ":try"s in the script. The outermost ":endtry"
|
||||
then stops sourcing the script. {not in Vi}
|
||||
|
||||
All commands and command sequences can be repeated by putting them in a named
|
||||
register and then executing it. There are two ways to get the commands in the
|
||||
register:
|
||||
- Use the record command "q". You type the commands once, and while they are
|
||||
being executed they are stored in a register. Easy, because you can see
|
||||
what you are doing. If you make a mistake, "p"ut the register into the
|
||||
file, edit the command sequence, and then delete it into the register
|
||||
again. You can continue recording by appending to the register (use an
|
||||
uppercase letter).
|
||||
- Delete or yank the command sequence into the register.
|
||||
|
||||
Often used command sequences can be put under a function key with the ':map'
|
||||
command.
|
||||
|
||||
An alternative is to put the commands in a file, and execute them with the
|
||||
':source!' command. Useful for long command sequences. Can be combined with
|
||||
the ':map' command to put complicated commands under a function key.
|
||||
|
||||
The ':source' command reads Ex commands from a file line by line. You will
|
||||
have to type any needed keyboard input. The ':source!' command reads from a
|
||||
script file character by character, interpreting each character as if you
|
||||
typed it.
|
||||
|
||||
Example: When you give the ":!ls" command you get the |hit-enter| prompt. If
|
||||
you ':source' a file with the line "!ls" in it, you will have to type the
|
||||
<Enter> yourself. But if you ':source!' a file with the line ":!ls" in it,
|
||||
the next characters from that file are read until a <CR> is found. You will
|
||||
not have to type <CR> yourself, unless ":!ls" was the last line in the file.
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible to put ':source[!]' commands in the script file, so you can
|
||||
make a top-down hierarchy of script files. The ':source' command can be
|
||||
nested as deep as the number of files that can be opened at one time (about
|
||||
15). The ':source!' command can be nested up to 15 levels deep.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use the "<sfile>" string (literally, this is not a special key) inside
|
||||
of the sourced file, in places where a file name is expected. It will be
|
||||
replaced by the file name of the sourced file. For example, if you have a
|
||||
"other.vimrc" file in the same directory as your ".vimrc" file, you can source
|
||||
it from your ".vimrc" file with this command: >
|
||||
:source <sfile>:h/other.vimrc
|
||||
|
||||
In script files terminal-dependent key codes are represented by
|
||||
terminal-independent two character codes. This means that they can be used
|
||||
in the same way on different kinds of terminals. The first character of a
|
||||
key code is 0x80 or 128, shown on the screen as "~@". The second one can be
|
||||
found in the list |key-notation|. Any of these codes can also be entered
|
||||
with CTRL-V followed by the three digit decimal code. This does NOT work for
|
||||
the <t_xx> termcap codes, these can only be used in mappings.
|
||||
|
||||
*:source_crnl* *W15*
|
||||
MS-DOS, Win32 and OS/2: Files that are read with ":source" normally have
|
||||
<CR><NL> <EOL>s. These always work. If you are using a file with <NL> <EOL>s
|
||||
(for example, a file made on Unix), this will be recognized if 'fileformats'
|
||||
is not empty and the first line does not end in a <CR>. This fails if the
|
||||
first line has something like ":map <F1> :help^M", where "^M" is a <CR>. If
|
||||
the first line ends in a <CR>, but following ones don't, you will get an error
|
||||
message, because the <CR> from the first lines will be lost.
|
||||
|
||||
Mac Classic: Files that are read with ":source" normally have <CR> <EOL>s.
|
||||
These always work. If you are using a file with <NL> <EOL>s (for example, a
|
||||
file made on Unix), this will be recognized if 'fileformats' is not empty and
|
||||
the first line does not end in a <CR>. Be careful not to use a file with <NL>
|
||||
linebreaks which has a <CR> in first line.
|
||||
|
||||
On other systems, Vim expects ":source"ed files to end in a <NL>. These
|
||||
always work. If you are using a file with <CR><NL> <EOL>s (for example, a
|
||||
file made on MS-DOS), all lines will have a trailing <CR>. This may cause
|
||||
problems for some commands (e.g., mappings). There is no automatic <EOL>
|
||||
detection, because it's common to start with a line that defines a mapping
|
||||
that ends in a <CR>, which will confuse the automaton.
|
||||
|
||||
*line-continuation*
|
||||
Long lines in a ":source"d Ex command script file can be split by inserting
|
||||
a line continuation symbol "\" (backslash) at the start of the next line.
|
||||
There can be white space before the backslash, which is ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
Example: the lines >
|
||||
:set comments=sr:/*,mb:*,el:*/,
|
||||
\://,
|
||||
\b:#,
|
||||
\:%,
|
||||
\n:>,
|
||||
\fb:-
|
||||
are interpreted as if they were given in one line:
|
||||
:set comments=sr:/*,mb:*,el:*/,://,b:#,:%,n:>,fb:-
|
||||
|
||||
All leading whitespace characters in the line before a backslash are ignored.
|
||||
Note however that trailing whitespace in the line before it cannot be
|
||||
inserted freely; it depends on the position where a command is split up
|
||||
whether additional whitespace is allowed or not.
|
||||
|
||||
When a space is required it's best to put it right after the backslash. A
|
||||
space at the end of a line is hard to see and may be accidentally deleted. >
|
||||
:syn match Comment
|
||||
\ "very long regexp"
|
||||
\ keepend
|
||||
|
||||
There is a problem with the ":append" and ":insert" commands: >
|
||||
:1append
|
||||
\asdf
|
||||
.
|
||||
The backslash is seen as a line-continuation symbol, thus this results in the
|
||||
command: >
|
||||
:1appendasdf
|
||||
.
|
||||
To avoid this, add the 'C' flag to the 'cpoptions' option: >
|
||||
:set cpo+=C
|
||||
:1append
|
||||
\asdf
|
||||
.
|
||||
:set cpo-=C
|
||||
|
||||
Note that when the commands are inside a function, you need to add the 'C'
|
||||
flag when defining the function, it is not relevant when executing it. >
|
||||
:set cpo+=C
|
||||
:function Foo()
|
||||
:1append
|
||||
\asdf
|
||||
.
|
||||
:endfunction
|
||||
:set cpo-=C
|
||||
|
||||
Rationale:
|
||||
Most programs work with a trailing backslash to indicate line
|
||||
continuation. Using this in Vim would cause incompatibility with Vi.
|
||||
For example for this Vi mapping: >
|
||||
:map xx asdf\
|
||||
< Therefore the unusual leading backslash is used.
|
||||
|
||||
==============================================================================
|
||||
5. Debugging scripts *debug-scripts*
|
||||
|
||||
Besides the obvious messages that you can add to your scripts to find out what
|
||||
they are doing, Vim offers a debug mode. This allows you to step through a
|
||||
sourced file or user function and set breakpoints.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: The debugging mode is far from perfect. Debugging will have side
|
||||
effects on how Vim works. You cannot use it to debug everything. For
|
||||
example, the display is messed up by the debugging messages.
|
||||
{Vi does not have a debug mode}
|
||||
|
||||
An alternative to debug mode is setting the 'verbose' option. With a bigger
|
||||
number it will give more verbose messages about what Vim is doing.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
STARTING DEBUG MODE *debug-mode*
|
||||
|
||||
To enter debugging mode use one of these methods:
|
||||
1. Start Vim with the |-D| argument: >
|
||||
vim -D file.txt
|
||||
< Debugging will start as soon as the first vimrc file is sourced. This is
|
||||
useful to find out what is happening when Vim is starting up. A side
|
||||
effect is that Vim will switch the terminal mode before initialisations
|
||||
have finished, with unpredictable results.
|
||||
For a GUI-only version (Windows, Macintosh) the debugging will start as
|
||||
soon as the GUI window has been opened. To make this happen early, add a
|
||||
":gui" command in the vimrc file.
|
||||
*:debug*
|
||||
2. Run a command with ":debug" prepended. Debugging will only be done while
|
||||
this command executes. Useful for debugging a specific script or user
|
||||
function. And for scripts and functions used by autocommands. Example: >
|
||||
:debug edit test.txt.gz
|
||||
|
||||
3. Set a breakpoint in a sourced file or user function. You could do this in
|
||||
the command line: >
|
||||
vim -c "breakadd file */explorer.vim" .
|
||||
< This will run Vim and stop in the first line of the "explorer.vim" script.
|
||||
Breakpoints can also be set while in debugging mode.
|
||||
|
||||
In debugging mode every executed command is displayed before it is executed.
|
||||
Comment lines, empty lines and lines that are not executed are skipped. When
|
||||
a line contains two commands, separated by "|", each command will be displayed
|
||||
separately.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
DEBUG MODE
|
||||
|
||||
Once in debugging mode, the usual Ex commands can be used. For example, to
|
||||
inspect the value of a variable: >
|
||||
echo idx
|
||||
When inside a user function, this will print the value of the local variable
|
||||
"idx". Prepend "g:" to get the value of a global variable: >
|
||||
echo g:idx
|
||||
All commands are executed in the context of the current function or script.
|
||||
You can also set options, for example setting or resetting 'verbose' will show
|
||||
what happens, but you might want to set it just before executing the lines you
|
||||
are interested in: >
|
||||
:set verbose=20
|
||||
|
||||
Commands that require updating the screen should be avoided, because their
|
||||
effect won't be noticed until after leaving debug mode. For example: >
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
There is a separate command-line history for debug mode.
|
||||
|
||||
The line number for a function line is relative to the start of the function.
|
||||
If you have trouble figuring out where you are, edit the file that defines
|
||||
the function in another Vim, search for the start of the function and do
|
||||
"99j". Replace "99" with the line number.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, these commands can be used:
|
||||
*>cont*
|
||||
cont Continue execution until the next breakpoint is hit.
|
||||
*>quit*
|
||||
quit Abort execution. This is like using CTRL-C, some
|
||||
things might still be executed, doesn't abort
|
||||
everything. Still stops at the next breakpoint.
|
||||
*>next*
|
||||
next Execute the command and come back to debug mode when
|
||||
it's finished. This steps over user function calls
|
||||
and sourced files.
|
||||
*>step*
|
||||
step Execute the command and come back to debug mode for
|
||||
the next command. This steps into called user
|
||||
functions and sourced files.
|
||||
*>interrupt*
|
||||
interrupt This is like using CTRL-C, but unlike ">quit" comes
|
||||
back to debug mode for the next command that is
|
||||
executed. Useful for testing |:finally| and |:catch|
|
||||
on interrupt exceptions.
|
||||
*>finish*
|
||||
finish Finish the current script or user function and come
|
||||
back to debug mode for the command after the one that
|
||||
sourced or called it.
|
||||
|
||||
About the additional commands in debug mode:
|
||||
- There is no command-line completion for them, you get the completion for the
|
||||
normal Ex commands only.
|
||||
- You can shorten them, up to a single character: "c", "n", "s" and "f".
|
||||
- Hitting <CR> will repeat the previous one. When doing another command, this
|
||||
is reset (because it's not clear what you want to repeat).
|
||||
- When you want to use the Ex command with the same name, prepend a colon:
|
||||
":cont", ":next", ":finish" (or shorter).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
DEFINING BREAKPOINTS
|
||||
*:breaka* *:breakadd*
|
||||
:breaka[dd] func [lnum] {name}
|
||||
Set a breakpoint in a function. Example: >
|
||||
:breakadd func Explore
|
||||
< Doesn't check for a valid function name, thus the breakpoint
|
||||
can be set before the function is defined.
|
||||
|
||||
:breaka[dd] file [lnum] {name}
|
||||
Set a breakpoint in a sourced file. Example: >
|
||||
:breakadd file 43 .vimrc
|
||||
|
||||
:breaka[dd] here
|
||||
Set a breakpoint in the current line of the current file.
|
||||
Like doing: >
|
||||
:breakadd file <cursor-line> <current-file>
|
||||
< Note that this only works for commands that are executed when
|
||||
sourcing the file, not for a function defined in that file.
|
||||
|
||||
The [lnum] is the line number of the breakpoint. Vim will stop at or after
|
||||
this line. When omitted line 1 is used.
|
||||
|
||||
*:debug-name*
|
||||
{name} is a pattern that is matched with the file or function name. The
|
||||
pattern is like what is used for autocommands. There must be a full match (as
|
||||
if the pattern starts with "^" and ends in "$"). A "*" matches any sequence
|
||||
of characters. 'ignorecase' is not used, but "\c" can be used in the pattern
|
||||
to ignore case |/\c|. Don't include the () for the function name!
|
||||
|
||||
The match for sourced scripts is done against the full file name. If no path
|
||||
is specified the current directory is used. Examples: >
|
||||
breakadd file explorer.vim
|
||||
matches "explorer.vim" in the current directory. >
|
||||
breakadd file *explorer.vim
|
||||
matches ".../plugin/explorer.vim", ".../plugin/iexplorer.vim", etc. >
|
||||
breakadd file */explorer.vim
|
||||
matches ".../plugin/explorer.vim" and "explorer.vim" in any other directory.
|
||||
|
||||
The match for functions is done against the name as it's shown in the output
|
||||
of ":function". For local functions this means that something like "<SNR>99_"
|
||||
is prepended.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that functions are first loaded and later executed. When they are loaded
|
||||
the "file" breakpoints are checked, when they are executed the "func"
|
||||
breakpoints.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
DELETING BREAKPOINTS
|
||||
*:breakd* *:breakdel* *E161*
|
||||
:breakd[el] {nr}
|
||||
Delete breakpoint {nr}. Use |:breaklist| to see the number of
|
||||
each breakpoint.
|
||||
|
||||
:breakd[el] *
|
||||
Delete all breakpoints.
|
||||
|
||||
:breakd[el] func [lnum] {name}
|
||||
Delete a breakpoint in a function.
|
||||
|
||||
:breakd[el] file [lnum] {name}
|
||||
Delete a breakpoint in a sourced file.
|
||||
|
||||
:breakd[el] here
|
||||
Delete a breakpoint at the current line of the current file.
|
||||
|
||||
When [lnum] is omitted, the first breakpoint in the function or file is
|
||||
deleted.
|
||||
The {name} must be exactly the same as what was typed for the ":breakadd"
|
||||
command. "explorer", "*explorer.vim" and "*explorer*" are different.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
LISTING BREAKPOINTS
|
||||
*:breakl* *:breaklist*
|
||||
:breakl[ist]
|
||||
List all breakpoints.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
OBSCURE
|
||||
|
||||
*:debugg* *:debuggreedy*
|
||||
:debugg[reedy]
|
||||
Read debug mode commands from the normal input stream, instead
|
||||
of getting them directly from the user. Only useful for test
|
||||
scripts. Example: >
|
||||
echo 'q^Mq' | vim -e -s -c debuggreedy -c 'breakadd file script.vim' -S script.vim
|
||||
|
||||
:0debugg[reedy]
|
||||
Undo ":debuggreedy": get debug mode commands directly from the
|
||||
user, don't use typeahead for debug commands.

||||

6. Profiling *profile* *profiling*
|
||||
|
||||
Profiling means that Vim measures the time that is spent on executing
|
||||
functions and/or scripts. The |+profile| feature is required for this.
|
||||
It is only included when Vim was compiled with "huge" features.
|
||||
{Vi does not have profiling}
|
||||
|
||||
You can also use the |reltime()| function to measure time. This only requires
|
||||
the |+reltime| feature, which is present more often.
|
||||
|
||||
For profiling syntax highlighting see |:syntime|.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
:prof[ile] start {fname} *:prof* *:profile* *E750*
|
||||
Start profiling, write the output in {fname} upon exit.
|
||||
If {fname} already exists it will be silently overwritten.
|
||||
The variable |v:profiling| is set to one.
|
||||
|
||||
:prof[ile] pause
|
||||
Don't profile until the following ":profile continue". Can be
|
||||
used when doing something that should not be counted (e.g., an
|
||||
external command). Does not nest.
|
||||
|
||||
:prof[ile] continue
|
||||
Continue profiling after ":profile pause".
|
||||
|
||||
:prof[ile] func {pattern}
|
||||
Profile function that matches the pattern {pattern}.
|
||||
See |:debug-name| for how {pattern} is used.
|
||||
|
||||
:prof[ile][!] file {pattern}
|
||||
Profile script file that matches the pattern {pattern}.
|
||||
See |:debug-name| for how {pattern} is used.
|
||||
This only profiles the script itself, not the functions
|
||||
defined in it.
|
||||
When the [!] is added then all functions defined in the script
|
||||
will also be profiled. But only if the script is loaded after
|
||||
this command.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
:profd[el] ... *:profd* *:profdel*
|
||||
Stop profiling for the arguments specified. See |:breakdel|
|
||||
for the arguments.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You must always start with a ":profile start fname" command. The resulting
|
||||
file is written when Vim exits. Here is an example of the output, with line
|
||||
numbers prepended for the explanation:
|
||||
|
||||
1 FUNCTION Test2() ~
|
||||
2 Called 1 time ~
|
||||
3 Total time: 0.155251 ~
|
||||
4 Self time: 0.002006 ~
|
||||
5 ~
|
||||
6 count total (s) self (s) ~
|
||||
7 9 0.000096 for i in range(8) ~
|
||||
8 8 0.153655 0.000410 call Test3() ~
|
||||
9 8 0.000070 endfor ~
|
||||
10 " Ask a question ~
|
||||
11 1 0.001341 echo input("give me an answer: ") ~
|
||||
|
||||
The header (lines 1-4) gives the time for the whole function. The "Total"
|
||||
time is the time passed while the function was executing. The "Self" time is
|
||||
the "Total" time reduced by time spent in:
|
||||
- other user defined functions
|
||||
- sourced scripts
|
||||
- executed autocommands
|
||||
- external (shell) commands
|
||||
|
||||
Lines 7-11 show the time spent in each executed line. Lines that are not
|
||||
executed do not count. Thus a comment line is never counted.
|
||||
|
||||
The Count column shows how many times a line was executed. Note that the
|
||||
"for" command in line 7 is executed one more time as the following lines.
|
||||
That is because the line is also executed to detect the end of the loop.
|
||||
|
||||
The time Vim spends waiting for user input isn't counted at all. Thus how
|
||||
long you take to respond to the input() prompt is irrelevant.
|
||||
|
||||
Profiling should give a good indication of where time is spent, but keep in
|
||||
mind there are various things that may clobber the results:
|
||||
|
||||
- The accuracy of the time measured depends on the gettimeofday() system
|
||||
function. It may only be as accurate as 1/100 second, even though the times
|
||||
are displayed in micro seconds.
|
||||
|
||||
- Real elapsed time is measured, if other processes are busy they may cause
|
||||
delays at unpredictable moments. You may want to run the profiling several
|
||||
times and use the lowest results.
|
||||
|
||||
- If you have several commands in one line you only get one time. Split the
|
||||
line to see the time for the individual commands.
|
||||
|
||||
- The time of the lines added up is mostly less than the time of the whole
|
||||
function. There is some overhead in between.
|
||||
|
||||
- Functions that are deleted before Vim exits will not produce profiling
|
||||
information. You can check the |v:profiling| variable if needed: >
|
||||
:if !v:profiling
|
||||
: delfunc MyFunc
|
||||
:endif
|
||||
<
|
||||
- Profiling may give weird results on multi-processor systems, when sleep
|
||||
mode kicks in or the processor frequency is reduced to save power.
|
||||
|
||||
- The "self" time is wrong when a function is used recursively.
