Updated Win64 binaries for Vim 7.0.195
195 patches have been issued for Vim 7.0. I have updated the x64 (amd64) binaries for Win64. These allow you to run Vim natively on Win64. I have also fixed the installer and the "Edit with Vim" shell extension. The shell extension allows you to right-click on a file in Windows Explorer and be able to open it in Gvim. To install Vim, first visit http://www.georgevreilly.com/vim/ and download the latest zipfile. This 17MB file contains all the files you need for a full installation, including the latest Vim runtime. Unzip the zipfile into a directory whose name ends in |vim|, such as |C:\Program Files\Vim|, |D:\vim|, or |C:\mytools\vim|. This will create a |vim70| subdirectory, containing all the files. Start a |cmd.exe| window, |cd ...\vim\vim70|, then run |install|, the command-line installer. This will offer you a series of choices. You can probably just type |"d"| to "do it". To uninstall Vim, use |uninstall.exe| in the same directory. I will not supply IA64 binaries unless specifically requested. -- Hello, I must be going. -- Groucho Marx (1890-1977) (Get Witty Auto-Generated Signatures from http://SmartBee.org) George V.

That's why I thought that it's reasonable to benchmark malloc() relative to the time it takes to memset() that same area. (When benchmarking, you need to know what to compare it to). If you compare time it takes to malloc N bytes to the time it takes to memset() same N bytes, you can tell the speed of malloc *relative* to the time of memset()ting same size. So you will automatically know which one is realtively more expensive, the memset() or the malloc(). And then maybe the optimal initial size will be size where memset() time is equal to the malloc() time ? The break-even, so to say, in which neither of two time dominates the other ? memset() is an O(N) operation. Its running time has to be proportional to N because it has to touch every single byte. If the pagefile gets involved, it's still O(N), but with a much larger constant. malloc()'s running time is much harder to say anything about. Not only can it vary widely between different implementations, it also depends upon the state of the system. Is the heap fragmented? Is it suffering from lock contention? (Not a problem with single-threaded apps like Vim.) Is the memory already in the process's working set, or does malloc have to ask the OS for more pages? Is the system under intense memory pressure and will the malloc() operation cause paging to disk? Finally, malloc(N) is probably independent of N. It has to find a free entry of size N in its data structures, which is very dependent on both the implementation and the preceding factors. Benchmarking malloc() in ./configure is not likely to tell you very much about its performance in a workload you care about. -- /George V.

Trying to use it on Windows XP. I am primarily a novelist, but a recent convert to Python, also. I intend to use gvim mainly as a text editor. Two things: (1) Is there a way to have a "soft" border or offset on the left, so that the text is not flush against the left window border? I've searched for hours with no luck. Autoindent would put an actual space in there (which I wouldn't want). I don't know of anything that will do exactly what you want, but ":set number" might help. (2) Is there a plug-in file especially for text? Already configured for 79 spaces with linebreak etc already set. I'm sure there must be something useful out there at vim.org. I have " In text files, always limit the width of text to 75 characters autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.txt,*.htm,*.html setlocal tw=75 in my _vimrc. Thank you so much for any help.

clipboard + unnamed register under X11
On Windows, I've long been used to having clipboard=unnamed, which ensures that all deletes, yanks, and puts go to or come from the clipboard by default. Is it possible to achieve this effect under X? I keep forgetting to prefix commands with "+, which is awkward to type. I'd prefer not to remap a ton of commands. -- /George V.
