Support POSIX, bashism and mixed function declarations, all four
compound command types, trailing comments and mixed whitespace.
Even though Bash allows locale-dependent characters in function names
<https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/245336/3645>, only detect function
names with characters allowed by POSIX.1-2017
<https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap03.html#tag_03_235>
for simplicity. This should cover the vast majority of use cases, and
produces system-agnostic results.
Since a word pattern has to be specified, but there is no easy way to
know the default word pattern, use the default `IFS` characters for a
starter. A later patch can improve this.

The regex used for the CSS builtin diff driver in git is only
able to show chunk headers for lines that start with a number,
a letter or an underscore.
However, the regex fails to detect classes (starts with a .), ids
(starts with a #), :root and attribute-value based selectors (for
example [class*="col-"]), as well as @based block-level statements
like @page,@keyframes and @media since all of them, start with a
special character.
Allow the selectors and block level statements to begin with these
special characters.

The third part of the Fortran xfuncname regex wants to match the
beginning of a subroutine or function, so it allows for all characters
except `'`, `"` or whitespace before the keyword 'function' or
'subroutine'. This is meant to match the 'recursive', 'elemental' or
'pure' keywords, as well as function return types, and to prevent
matches inside strings.
However, the negated set does not contain the `!` comment character,
so a line with an end-of-line comment containing the keyword 'function' or
'subroutine' followed by another word is mistakenly chosen as a hunk header.
Improve the regex by adding `!` to the negated set.

It's typical to find Markdown documentation alongside source code, and
having better context for documentation changes is useful; see also
commit 69f9c87d4 (userdiff: add support for Fountain documents,
2015-07-21).
The pattern is based on the CommonMark specification 0.29, section 4.2
<https://spec.commonmark.org/> but doesn't match empty headings, as
seeing them in a hunk header is unlikely to be useful.
Only ATX headings are supported, as detecting setext headings would
require printing the line before a pattern matches, or matching a
multiline pattern. The word-diff pattern is the same as the pattern for
HTML, because many Markdown parsers accept inline HTML.

While reviewing some dts diffs recently I noticed that the hunk header
logic was failing to find the containing node. This is because the regex
doesn't consider properties that may span multiple lines, i.e.
property = <something>,
<something_else>;
and it got hung up on comments inside nodes that look like the root node
because they start with '/*'. Add tests for these cases and update the
regex to find them. Maybe detecting the root node is too complicated but
forcing it to be a backslash with any amount of whitespace up to an open
bracket seemed OK. I tried to detect that a comment is in-between the
two parts but I wasn't happy so I just dropped it.

The Linux kernel receives many patches to the devicetree files each
release. The hunk header for those patches typically show nothing,
making it difficult to figure out what node is being modified without
applying the patch or opening the file and seeking to the context. Let's
add a builtin 'dts' pattern to git so that users can get better diff
output on dts files when they use the diff=dts driver.
The regex has been constructed based on the spec at devicetree.org[1]
and with some help from Johannes Sixt.

CSS is widely used, motivating it being included as a built-in pattern.
It must be noted that the word_regex for CSS (i.e. the regex defining
what is a word in the language) does not consider '.' and '#' characters
(in CSS selectors) to be part of the word. This behavior is documented
by the test t/t4018/css-rule.
The logic behind this behavior is the following: identifiers in CSS
selectors are identifiers in a HTML/XML document. Therefore, the '.'/'#'
character are not part of the identifier, but an indicator of the nature
of the identifier in HTML/XML (class or id). Diffing ".class1" and
".class2" must show that the class name is changed, but we still are
selecting a class.
Logic behind the "pattern" regex is:
1. reject lines ending with a colon/semicolon (properties)
2. if a line begins with a name in column 1, pick the whole line

facilitates not just programming specifically, but creative writing
in general, so it makes sense to also support other plain text

In the structure of a screenplay specifically, scenes are roughly
analogous to functions, in the sense that it makes your job easier
if you can see which ones were changed in a given range of patches.

The hunk header pattern 'cpp' is intended for C and C++ source code, but
it is actually not particularly useful for the latter, and even misses
some use-cases for the former.
The parts of the pattern have the following flaws:
- The first part matches an identifier followed immediately by a colon
and arbitrary text and is intended to reject goto labels and C++
access specifiers (public, private, protected). But this pattern also
rejects C++ constructs, which look like this:
MyClass::MyClass()
MyClass::~MyClass()
MyClass::Item MyClass::Find(...
- The second part matches an identifier followed by a list of qualified
names (i.e. identifiers separated by the C++ scope operator '::')
separated by space or '*' followed by an opening parenthesis (with
space between the tokens). It matches function declarations like
struct item* get_head(...
int Outer::Inner::Func(...
Since the pattern requires at least two identifiers, GNU-style
function definitions are ignored:
void
func(...
Moreover, since the pattern does not allow punctuation other than '*',
the following C++ constructs are not recognized:
. template definitions:
template<class T> int func(T arg)
. functions returning references:
const string& get_message()
. functions returning templated types:
vector<int> foo()
. operator definitions:
Value operator+(Value l, Value r)
- The third part of the pattern finally matches compound definitions.
But it forgets about unions and namespaces, and also skips single-line
definitions
struct random_iterator_tag {};
because no semicolon can occur on the line.
Change the first pattern to require a colon at the end of the line
(except for trailing space and comments), so that it does not reject
constructor or destructor definitions.
Notice that all interesting anchor points begin with an identifier or
keyword. But since there is a large variety of syntactical constructs
after the first "word", the simplest is to require only this word and
accept everything else. Therefore, this boils down to a line that begins
with a letter or underscore (optionally preceded by the C++ scope
operator '::' to accept functions returning a type anchored at the
global namespace). Replace the second and third part by a single pattern
that picks such a line.
This has the following desirable consequence:
- All constructs mentioned above are recognized.
and the following likely desirable consequences:
- Definitions of global variables and typedefs are recognized:
int num_entries = 0;
extern const char* help_text;
typedef basic_string<wchar_t> wstring;
- Commonly used marco-ized boilerplate code is recognized:
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CCanvas,CWnd)
Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(MyStruct)
PATTERNS("tex",...)
(The last one is from this very patch.)
but also the following possibly undesirable consequence:
- When a label is not on a line by itself (except for a comment) it is
no longer rejected, but can appear as a hunk header if it occurs at
the beginning of a line:
next:;
IMO, the benefits of the change outweigh the (possible) regressions by a
large margin.
