Traditional vi is mostly silent about the results of yank, delete,
change, undo or substitution commands. Vim reports some details
about undo and substitution. BusyBox vi is positively verbose in
comparison.
Make some improvements to BusyBox vi:
- Add vim-like reporting of changes caused by substitutions, of
the form '64 substitutions on 53 lines'. This replaces a fairly
useless report of the result of the last change made.
- Ensure that the report about put operations correctly reflects the
newly introduced repetition count.
- Commit 25d2592640 tried to limit status updates for delete and
yank operations by detecting whether the register had changed.
This didn't always work because the previously allocated memory
could be reused for the new register contents. Fix this by
delaying freeing the old register until after the new one has
been allocated.
- Add a configuration option to control verbose status reporting.
This is on by default. Turning it off make BusyBox vi as taciturn
as traditional vi and saves 435 bytes.

An example in my vi book presents different ways to fix the spelling

With the cursor on the 'e' the command 'cway' should do the job.
Since commit 776b56d77, though, 'cw' incorrectly includes the full

(Prior to commit 776b56d77 BusyBox vi got 'cw' right in this case but
'cW' wrong: it *didn't* delete the full stop.)

The motion that determines the range of a change, delete, yank
or shift operation can have its own count. Thus the commands
'5dd' and 'd5d' are equivalent: both delete 5 lines.
When the command itself also has a count the two values are
multiplied. Thus the command '2d3w' deletes 6 words and '2D3G'
deletes from the current line to line 6.
(When dealing with structured data it might make sense to think in
units of 3 words so '2d3w' is deleting 2 such units. It doesn't
seem quite as sensible to express 'delete from current line to line 6'
as '2D3G' but vi permits it.)

Vi places text affected by change/delete/yank operations into a
buffer. The contents of such buffers can be restored with the put
commands, 'p' or 'P'. These behave differently depending on whether
the buffer contains whole lines or partial lines. For whole lines
the text is copied into the file on the line before (P) or after
(p) the current line. For partial lines the text is copied before
or after the current cursor position.
Whether an operation results in whole or partial lines depends on
the command used.
BusyBox vi treats any buffer with a newline as though it contained
whole lines. This is incorrect. Deleting multiple words across
a line boundary results in a buffer with a newline but not having
whole lines.
Rework how buffers are handled to behave more like vi.

I was puzzled by code in find_range() which handles forward word
movement. It included a test to see if we're at the start of a
word. Since these are forward word movements surely we'd expect to
be at the start of a word? In fact, the test was intended to fix a
problem with changes to the last word in a file, as discussed in the
thread starting here:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2004-January/044552.html
The code can be simplified by testing directly for end of file instead
of indirectly for not being at the start of a word. Since trailing
whitespace is now handled in do_cmd() the code to back up off a newline
is no longer required.

Selection of ranges for change/delete/yank by forward character
motion commands (SPACE or 'l') was incorrect. The range was
always one character whereas vi allows the size of the range to
be specified.
Fix this by executing the motion command the required number of times.
There is a complication when the range is at the end of a line. We need
to distinguish between a range which excludes the last character and
one which includes it. This requires comparing the actual range with
that expected from the command count. (With the additional quirk that
a command count of zero is equivalent to a command count of one.)

differ from standard vi:
- As reported in bug 10321 such searches can't be repeated using the

- The search also can't be repeated using the command '://' because
an empty search pattern doesn't imply the use of the last search
pattern.
- Such searches should start on the line after the current line,
otherwise '://' never moves to the next occurrence of the pattern.
This can also affect other cases where line ranges are specified

Back in 2007, commit 0c97c9d437 ("'simple' error message functions by
Loic Grenie") introduced bb_simple_perror_msg() to allow for a lower
overhead call to bb_perror_msg() when only a string was being printed
with no parameters. This saves space for some CPU architectures because
it avoids the overhead of a call to a variadic function. However there
has never been a simple version of bb_error_msg(), and since 2007 many
new calls to bb_perror_msg() have been added that only take a single
parameter and so could have been using bb_simple_perror_message().
This changeset introduces 'simple' versions of bb_info_msg(),
bb_error_msg(), bb_error_msg_and_die(), bb_herror_msg() and
bb_herror_msg_and_die(), and replaces all calls that only take a
single parameter, or use something like ("%s", arg), with calls to the
corresponding 'simple' version.
Since it is likely that single parameter calls to the variadic functions
may be accidentally reintroduced in the future a new debugging config
option WARN_SIMPLE_MSG has been introduced. This uses some macro magic
which will cause any such calls to generate a warning, but this is
turned off by default to avoid use of the unpleasant macros in normal
circumstances.
This is a large changeset due to the number of calls that have been
replaced. The only files that contain changes other than simple
substitution of function calls are libbb.h, libbb/herror_msg.c,
libbb/verror_msg.c and libbb/xfuncs_printf.c. In miscutils/devfsd.c,
networking/udhcp/common.h and util-linux/mdev.c additonal macros have
been added for logging so that single parameter and multiple parameter
logging variants exist.
The amount of space saved varies considerably by architecture, and was
found to be as follows (for 'defconfig' using GCC 7.4):
Arm: -92 bytes
MIPS: -52 bytes
PPC: -1836 bytes
x86_64: -938 bytes
Note that for the MIPS architecture only an exception had to be made
disabling the 'simple' calls for 'udhcp' (in networking/udhcp/common.h)
because it made these files larger on MIPS.

As reported in bug 11796 BusyBox vi incorrectly handles changes
to a word at the end of a line. If the following line starts
with whitespace changing or deleting the last word of a line
with the 'cw' or 'dw' commands causes the lines to be joined.
This happens because the range for the change returned by
find_range() covers all whitespace after the word, including
newlines. The problem can be fixed by setting 'ml' to zero
to indicate to yank_delete() that processing should stop at
the end of the current line.
However, this results in a new problem. 'dw' correctly deletes
all whitespace following the word but so does 'cw', which should
preserve the trailing whitespace. To fix this the code to omit
whitespace from the change is modified to include all whitespace
not just blanks.
