Users can now synchronize the content of the pattern editor with a file
on disk when exporting a pattern. Any modifications made in the pattern
editor are automatically saved to the file and when the pattern editor
gains focus it will automatically load any changes to the file on disk.
This feature is brand new and can have unforeseen problems so test it
fully before risking losing work.
Added major changes to how the text editor handles utf8 characters with
the added ability to obtain them using the [] operator and column
coordinates as indices. Sanitize coordinates was renamed to Set
Coordinates and can be used instead of the constructor to guarantee no
out of range asserts and/or exceptions. Improved move left and right
readability and cursor accuracy when clicking. Fixed single character
selection by double-clicking it. Deleted old and unused code and other
changes that I can't remember about atm.
These changes are part of an effort aimed at removing tabs from ImHex
that started some time ago. Here text preprocessing is removed from all
the places were it was done before and moved to the places where files
are read that go in the pattern editor with two notable exceptions.
1) Pattern import reads patterns in order to present a list that can be
filtered.That can safely ignore preprocessing since only needs to get
information needed to filter.
2) The pattern editor can incorporate text from the clipboard so that
needs to be preprocessed as well.
find/replace is unable to add tabs or carriage returns so this should
cover all angles.
Added clion-like bracket matching feature with shortcut to go to the
other one. Also improved some cumbersome repeated function call.
Added support for using negative indices in coordinates so -1 is the last
line or column, -2 the previous, etc..
Pattern library has fixes for column errors being incorrectly set for lines
containing tabs that are not replaced by 4 spaces.
allows the ability to assign colors to global placed and non-placed
variables, pattern, local and calculated pointer variables, template
arguments, function variables and arguments, etc etc etc. It
accomplishes this using the parser and the token sequence generated by
the lexer. It still uses the original colorizing code but the underlying
data holding the pattern has been updated to be easier to use and to
debug. The changes are too numerous to cite here.It is a big but
necessary step to bring the pattern editor to a somewhat useful state.
There may be one commit in the pattern language repo needed to be able
to run this code
### Problem description
While working with the section view, I noticed the window wasn't
resizable.
### Implementation description
This simply removes the `ImGuiWindowFlags_NoResize` flag, and then when
drawing the section window sets the hex editor to 70% of the available
window, leaving 30% to the pattern data. This is not ideal, but I think
before a full rewrite of the section window system this would probably
be a simple change to make it a lot more usable.

This pr aims at fixing for negative values in advanced search for
numerical values. For a simple example try searching for -1 for int32_t
which is 0xFFFFFFFF. With the changes you can now find -1 for 1,2,4 or 8
byte integers.
Internal types are bigger than or equal to the types selected in the
options. Search keys are converted to the bigger type, but the values
read from the input file are not. This works ok for positive numbers,
but for negatives it needs some casting.
The casting is performed inside a newly added function that takes the
value returned by read, the size in bytes of the selected type in the
options and a template argument for the 64 bit type the value is stored
into.
I have tested positive and negative values for several different sizes
of signed integers. Also tested unsigned integers both in the low range
(near lowest limit) and in the high range (near largest possible value
for that type)
The recent update that made importing patterns undoable had the side
effect of undoing tab changes as well. When working on a fix for that it
became clear that the undo/redo stacks were being shared by all
providers so that you could undo changes done in a separate file. The
problem was fixed by making the text editors (and the console editors as
well) to be per provider which gives better control on things like
breakpoints and selections and a more robust focusing system that
preserves the cursor positions and removes the need to click on a
pattern to start editing. There are a lot of changes, but they are
mostly all the uses of text editors being now coded differently to
manage the providers. File imports are still undoable, but switching
providers is not.
Further changes suggested by reviewer were implemented namely a mull provider was being used and there was a get function missing which prevented the use of the preferred syntax.
The recent changes to the text editor to fix the longest line length
problems broke the console horizontal scrollbar. The code that displays
the console editor was more complicated that it needed be, and it had
the bad side effect of resetting the cursor which prevented horizontal
scrolling. Adding a function that appends lines to the text editor fixes
all problems and makes the code clearer. To accommodate for strings
containing zeros, the code that inserts text was changed to print a '.'
when zeros are encountered thus keeping the line length the same.
This was caused by the variable that holds the bar location not being
updated when window was resized.
The bar can be moved until only one line is shown in the smaller window.
When ImJex window is resized, the proportion of editor/console height is
maintained.
### Problem description
It is possible for the maximum and minimum value arguments to std::clamp to be swapped which is defined in the standard as undefined behavior
### Implementation description
Swap the values if necessary.

The horizontal scroll bar length is set using the maximum line length across the input file. The original setup had the lengths of imported and included files added so changes are made to insure that only changes from the input file are taken. This required changes to the Pattern Language library so the library is updated to the latest version as well.
This change is to fix a bug reported in discord by berkus and Naheulf
about the console missing output lines. The bug was caused by using
SetText which replaces the existing text with the text in the argument.
To fix it use InsertText which puts the text at the current cursor
position that was already set to the end of the current contents.
Code was tested with pattern used to reproduce the bug and seemed to
work when evaluated repeatedly.
The pattern editor was resetting the flag that marked text changes on
every frame, but resolving a text change may take more than one frame,
so instead I created a function that allows the resetting of the text
changed boolean from view pattern editor.
Currently, when a pattern is evaluated the pattern editor will lose
focus regardless of how evaluation was triggered. This is specially
annoying when using f5 or auto-evaluate. Now whenever a pattern is
evaluated, focus is given to the pattern editor when evaluation ends.
JumptoLine didn't work for empty lines.
