Problem: Several gui_T fields are declared as "int" or "char" but are
used strictly as boolean flags with TRUE/FALSE values. The
integer types obscure the boolean intent and are wider than
needed.
Solution: Change the following gui_T members to bool (stdbool.h) and
update their assignments from TRUE/FALSE to true/false
accordingly (Hirohito Higashi)
The following conversions have been done:
- int -> bool (11 members):
in_focus, in_use, starting, dying, dofork, dospawn,
pointer_hidden, force_redraw, directx_enabled, font_can_bold,
which_scrollbars[3]
- char -> bool (2 members):
cursor_is_valid, menu_is_active
No existing code compares these members against TRUE/FALSE explicitly
(e.g. "== TRUE"), so only plain assignments are affected.
gui_init() used counter-style "--gui.starting" / "++gui.starting" to
temporarily clear the flag across a call to gui_mch_enable_menu().
With gui.starting now bool this triggers -Werror=bool-operation, so
replace it with an explicit save/restore.
X11 Bool members (rsrc_rev_video, color_approx) are intentionally left
unchanged: rsrc_rev_video is registered as an X Toolkit resource with
XtRBool / sizeof(Bool) and must keep the int-sized X11 Bool type.

Problem: Vim still supports compiling on NeXTSTEP
Solution: Drop Support (Damien Lejay)
The NeXTSTEP operating system has been obsolete for decades. The
special-case code required to support it adds unnecessary complexity,
preprocessor conditionals, and non-standard workarounds to the codebase.
This commit removes all support for NeXTSTEP, simplifying the code and
build system in several ways:
- Replaced custom configure checks for `union wait` with a standard `AC_CHECK_FUNCS` call for `waitpid`.
- Removed all conditional code that used the non-standard `union wait` for process status, relying solely on a standard `int`.
- Replaced calls to the non-standard `wait4()` function with the POSIX-standard `waitpid()`.
- Cleaned up headers (`os_unix.h`, `os_unixx.h`) to remove NeXT-specific workarounds and macros.
- Removed obsolete NeXT compilation instructions from the INSTALL file.
This change improves maintainability and makes the Unix process handling code more linear and compliant with modern POSIX standards.

Problem: Using the Wayland backend in GTK, rendering remains slow due
to per-line redraws, unnecessary Cairo push/pop groups, and
scroll operations that allocate new surfaces repeatedly.
Solution: Improve rendering performance (Christoffer Aasted).
This commit does the following:
- Add gui.is_wayland to detect Wayland backend
- Avoid blocking the input loop
- Skip early redraws; let the compositor handle full-screen redraws
- Use CAIRO_OPERATOR_SOURCE to overwrite instead of blend
- Reuse scroll source region for destination scroll region
- Optimize fast scroll-up
- Remove cairo_push_group/pop_group and cairo_clip in scroll path
to reduce allocations (~50MB saved on 4K fractional scale)
Since Wayland redraws the entire screen between updates (unlike X11),
further performance gains are possible by batching drawing in other code
paths, e.g.:
- message.c: batch lines to avoid scroll
- term.c: batch terminal redraws
These could be refactored later to deferred redraw with Wayland.

Solution: Don't clear the ligatures_map, if the guiligatures

If guiligatures is set from a .vimrc it's possible
that it will be cleared on start-up (e.g. in Win32
that's what happens).
So don't clear the ligatures map if gui_set_ligatures()
has already been called (e.g. after setting 'ligatures'
from .vimrc)

Problem: font ligatures don't render correctly in the Win32 GUI-version
of gvim even when set rop=type:directx is used. Setting
guiligatures also doesn't make any difference. This leads to
broken font ligatures when the cursor passes through them. It
does not recover from this, and they remain broken until you
re-render the whole buffer (e.g. by using Ctrl+L).
Solution: the problem is that we only re-draw the current and previous
character in gui_undraw_cursor() and only have the special case
for GTK when it comes to rendering ligatures. So let's enable
gui_adjust_undraw_cursor_for_ligatures() to also happen for
Win32 GUI if guiligatures is setup correctly (all this does is
expand the range of gui_undraw_cursor() with ligature characters).

Problem: Things that temporarily change/restore curwin/buf (e.g:
win_execute, some autocmds) may break assumptions that
curwin/buf is the cmdwin when "cmdwin_type != 0", causing
issues.
Solution: Expose the cmdwin's real win/buf and check that instead. Also
try to ensure these variables are NULL if "cmdwin_type == 0",
allowing them to be used directly in most cases without
checking cmdwin_type. (Sean Dewar)
Alternatively, we could ban win_execute in the cmdwin and audit all places that
temporarily change/restore curwin/buf, but I didn't notice any problems arising
from allowing this (standard cmdwin restrictions still apply, so things that may
actually break the cmdwin are still forbidden).

Problem: is*() and to*() function may be unsafe
Solution: Add SAFE_* macros and start using those instead
(Keith Thompson)
Use SAFE_() macros for is*() and to*() functions
The standard is*() and to*() functions declared in <ctype.h> have
undefined behavior for negative arguments other than EOF. If plain char
is signed, passing an unchecked value from argv for from user input
to one of these functions has undefined behavior.
Solution: Add SAFE_*() macros that cast the argument to unsigned char.
Most implementations behave sanely for negative arguments, and most
character values in practice are non-negative, but it's still best
to avoid undefined behavior.
