 * When writing messages to the screen, there are many different situations.
 * A number of variables is used to remember the current state:
 * msg_didany       TRUE when messages were written since the last time the
 *                  user reacted to a prompt.
 *                  Reset: After hitting a key for the hit-return prompt,
 *                  hitting <CR> for the command line or input().
 *                  Set: When any message is written to the screen.
 * msg_didout       TRUE when something was written to the current line.
 *                  Reset: When advancing to the next line, when the current
 *                  text can be overwritten.
 *                  Set: When any message is written to the screen.
 * msg_nowait       No extra delay for the last drawn message.
 *                  Used in normal_cmd() before the mode message is drawn.
 * emsg_on_display  There was an error message recently.  Indicates that there
 *                  should be a delay before redrawing.
 * msg_scroll       The next message should not overwrite the current one.
 * msg_scrolled     How many lines the screen has been scrolled (because of
 *                  messages).  Used in update_screen() to scroll the screen
 *                  back.  Incremented each time the screen scrolls a line.
 * msg_scrolled_ign  TRUE when msg_scrolled is non-zero and msg_puts_attr()
 *                  writes something without scrolling should not make
 *                  need_wait_return to be set.  This is a hack to make ":ts"
 *                  work without an extra prompt.
 * lines_left       Number of lines available for messages before the
 *                  more-prompt is to be given.
 * need_wait_return TRUE when the hit-return prompt is needed.
 *                  Reset: After giving the hit-return prompt, when the user
 *                  has answered some other prompt.
 *                  Set: When the ruler or typeahead display is overwritten,
 *                  scrolling the screen for some message.
 * keep_msg         Message to be displayed after redrawing the screen, in
 *                  main_loop().
 *                  This is an allocated string or NULL when not used.

/*
 * This code was included to provide a portable vsnprintf() and snprintf().
 * Some systems may provide their own, but we always use this one for
 * consistency.
 *
 * This code is based on snprintf.c - a portable implementation of snprintf
 * by Mark Martinec <mark.martinec@ijs.si>, Version 2.2, 2000-10-06.
 * Included with permission.  It was heavily modified to fit in Vim.
 * The original code, including useful comments, can be found here:
 *      http://www.ijs.si/software/snprintf/
 *
 * This snprintf() only supports the following conversion specifiers:
 * s, c, d, u, o, x, X, p  (and synonyms: i, D, U, O - see below)
 * with flags: '-', '+', ' ', '0' and '#'.
 * An asterisk is supported for field width as well as precision.
 *
 * Limited support for floating point was added: 'f', 'e', 'E', 'g', 'G'.
 *
 * Length modifiers 'h' (short int) and 'l' (long int) are supported.
 * 'll' (long long int) is not supported.
 *
 * The locale is not used, the string is used as a byte string.  This is only
 * relevant for double-byte encodings where the second byte may be '%'.
 *
 * It is permitted for "str_m" to be zero, and it is permitted to specify NULL
 * pointer for resulting string argument if "str_m" is zero (as per ISO C99).
 *
 * The return value is the number of characters which would be generated
 * for the given input, excluding the trailing null. If this value
 * is greater or equal to "str_m", not all characters from the result
 * have been stored in str, output bytes beyond the ("str_m"-1) -th character
 * are discarded. If "str_m" is greater than zero it is guaranteed
 * the resulting string will be null-terminated.
 */

/*
 * When va_list is not supported we only define vim_snprintf().
 *
 * vim_vsnprintf() can be invoked with either "va_list" or a list of
 * "typval_T".  When the latter is not used it must be NULL.
