If you project has two patterns and one is very big, switching providers
while the big file is being highlighted makes the small one skip its own
coloring. The error was caused by a failure to interrupt the ongoing
lengthy highlighting process in a timely manner. It appears that calling
task interrupt allows the task to run to completion and when the task
runs to completion then the retrying mechanism is not trigger and the
small pattern never has a task assigned for coloring.
This was fixed by creating a variable that signals the intention to
interrupt the current highlighting process. The most used function in
the highlighter (used to update the current token) checks the variable
and throws an out of range exception causing the interruption of the
current highlighter and triggering the retry mechanic.
Reorganized source code into files named in the fashion of imhex and
split large functions into smaller ones. Moved all function definitions
out of the header except for one-liners. All variable types were
switched to use imHex standard (u8,...) and removed duplicated functions
that were needed when the text editor was isolated.
Minor improvements to find/replace while making sure they still worked
with utf-8 chars.
### Problem description
Messages in the TCP tool were only visible as a text string in the
messages list and unable to be opened in the hex view.
There was also no way to send data other than as a typed in text string
in the input field.
### Implementation description
* Added the ability to double-click on a message in the messages list to
open it in a provider tab.
* Added a new button to the client tab to send the current provider to
the connected server.
* Updated the list look to show the message index in a column

This PR implements a neat little feature I missed - the ability to jump
to the next/previous differing byte, skipping the chunk of repeating
bytes. Very useful when you analyze a raw flash dump and want to skip
the large sections of `0x00`s/`0xFF`s.
Some implementation details worth validating:
- I wasn't sure what is the correct place to put the new menu entries
into. The possible candidates were `File -> Go to address...` and `Edit
-> Follow selection`. I chose the former, although the latter may be a
better fit since it already states that the action is related to the
selection. Overall, it may be a good moment to refine these menu entries
in general.
- I didn't add any tests since I'm not sure what is the project's policy
for those. Please let me know if I need to add some!
- I added the machine-generated translations for the new menu entries
which may be considered a questionable thing. Please let me know if
you're unhappy with those, I'll drop the commit.
Also, thanks for such a nice tool, I use it a lot and was glad to build
a new feature for it!
Added the ui namespace and broke the main rendering function into a set
of smaller functions. Reorganized the header code separating functions
into rough groups that eventually will be in separate files.
Also fixes two bugs:
1) error messages not staying visible
2) uncaught exception when struct name is duplicated.
A lot of the code using coordinates for start and end has been moved to
use Selections instead. Created more string manipulation code that uses
utf8 indices aka Coordinates directly. This makes implementing editing
functions easier by not having to go back and forth from string indices
to char indices and back. Currently, the substring, erase and []
operator support coordinates and str indices.
