There's a gotcha where pagespec_match_list is used with a dependency type
that is not a full content dependency, and so ikiwiki does not know that
a content change to a page that sorted too low to match needs to trigger
a rebuild, since its sort order may have changed.
Inline is mostly ok re this, as it does use content dependencies. Except
for in the case of raw mode. But then, page metadata is documented to not
be loaded, so it doesn't make sense to use sortspecs that depend on
metadata. I hope. :)
As I was adding ngettext support, I realized I could optimize the gettext
functions by memoizing the creation of the gettext object. Note that
the object creation is still deferred until a gettext function is called,
to avoid unnecessary startup penalties on code paths that do not need
gettext.
A side benefit is that separate stub functions are no longer needed to
handle the C language case.
I made match_* functions whose influences can vary depending on the page
matched set a special "" influence to indicate this.
Then add_depends can try just one page, and if static influences are found,
stop there.
This is sorta an optimisation, and sorta a bug fix. In one
test case I have available, it can speed a page build up from 3
minutes to 3 seconds.
The root of the problem is that $links{$page} contains arrays of
links, rather than hashes of links. And when a link is found,
it is just pushed onto the array, without checking for dups.
Now, the array is emptied before scanning a page, so there
should not be a lot of opportunity for lots of duplicate links
to pile up in it. But, in some cases, they can, and if there
are hundreds of duplicate links in the array, then scanning it
for matching links, as match_link and some other code does,
becomes much more expensive than it needs to be.
Perhaps the real right fix would be to change the data structure
to a hash. But, the list of links is never accessed like that,
you always want to iterate through it.
I also looked at deduping the list in saveindex, but that does
a lot of unnecessary work, and doesn't completly solve the problem.
So, finally, I decided to add an add_link function that handles deduping,
and make ikiwiki-transition remove the old dup links.
* pagespec_match_list: New API function, matches pages in a list
and throws an error if the pagespec is bad.
* inline, brokenlinks, calendar, linkmap, map, orphans, pagecount,
pagestate, postsparkline: Display a handy error message if the pagespec
is erronious.
* Add IkiWiki::ErrorReason objects, and modify pagespecs to return
them in cases where they fail to match due to a configuration or syntax
error.
* inline: Display a handy error message if the inline cannot display any
pages due to such an error.
This is perhaps somewhat incomplete, as other users of pagespecs do not
display the error, and will eventually need similar modifications to inline.
I should probably factor out a pagespec_match_all function and make it throw
ErrorReasons.
... as Joey suggested on todo/need_global_renamepage_hook
This hook is applied recursively to returned additional rename
hashes, so that it handles the case where two plugins use the hook:
plugin A would see when plugin B adds a new file to be renamed.
The full set of rename hashes can no longer be changed by hook functions, that
are only allowed to return any additional rename hashes it wants to add.
Rationale: the correct behavior of the recursion would be hard, if not
impossible, to define, if already considered pages were changing on the run.

This is intended to solve Joey's concerns expressed on
http://ikiwiki.info/todo/need_global_renamepage_hook/, i.e. the need to make it
possible to use this hook from external plugins.
A plugin using this hook still can add/modify/remove elements of the
@torename array.
