The addon does have 3 settings:
- maxHighlightLineLength is for the current line where the
cursor is. Bracket matching is simply not done when the
current line is longer. The default is 1000, which is rather
low.
- maxScanLineLength is for every other line that is scanned in
the process. I don't understand why, but this limit is 10x
higher.
- maxScanLines is the number of lines that can be scanned.
Simply raising the first to be 10000 as well fixes our issue.
Note that CodeMirror does have a limit of 10000 anyway. It's
called maxHighlightLength there. Lines that are longer get
syntax highlighting only for the first 10000 characters. The
rest of the line is black. Using the same limit in the addon
makes it's behavior consistent. Means: The user can see when
the syntax highlighting stops, and bracket matching stops
working the same time.
I benchmarked with both settings. It doesn't have a measurable
effect. Bracket matching is done in <1ms in both cases.

Less ambiguous variable names. Less duplication. The minor
issues have been introduced in T270317.

I continued profiling the matchbrackets addon for T270237 and run into
performance issues that turned out to be unrelated to the addon. The
flame graph highlighted a "match" function. Note this is not the
String.match() from JavaScript, but something in the CodeMirror lib:
StringStream.prototype.match = function (pattern) {
var match = this.string.match(pattern);
if (match && match.index > 0) {
return null;
}
return match;
}
(Note: I simplified this code so we can focus on the bug.)
When the pattern is a regular expression, it's executed via
JavaScript's String.match(). The function then checks if there was a
match and if it's at the start of the string. If not, it's not a
match and doesn't return one.
In other words: Even if there is a match somewhere in the string, the
function acts as if there was no match.
When we change all patterns to be anchored via ^, they don't scan the
entire string any more but return much ealier when there is no match
at the start of the string. We are effectively replacing nested loops
(hidden in the patterns) with single calls.
This bug exists since 2014.
The disabled line in the matchbrackets addon is just dead code. I
don't remove it to document the fact that we disabled it.

The addon does support some configuration options. These are passed
as properties of the `matchBrackets` CodeMirror option. Just passing
the boolean there hides that fact.

This patch also removes all remaining FIXMEs. This code is not
a bottleneck. There is nothing to do.

Basic tests to show that the highlighting classes have been attached
to the expected elements.

Optimizations for the code introduced in Ic403e0a:
* Skip this entirely when something is selected (as discussed
in Ic403e0a).
* Use a combination of existing methods. I benchmarked these
again. This approach is "significantly" slower compared to
the custom code from before. However, "significantly" here
means something like 1 nanosecond vs. 4 nanoseconds. Both
is effectively nothing.
* Use the same approach in another place. This one is triggered
every time a change is made, e.g. a character typed. I
benchmarked this as well. The new code is about 500x faster
(yes, seriously).

This is a convenient way to propagate alternate configuration during

The fallback technique makes the whole edit surface semi-transparent,
so reset native selections to full opacity.

I had to make some CSS selectors more specific, because the
library changed
.CodeMirror pre
to
.CodeMirror pre.CodeMirror-line,
.CodeMirror pre.CodeMirror-line-like
This is only relevant for entire lines (implemented as <pre>
elements). Most of the custom CSS is for characters, not lines.
In my tests in the Wikitext editor as well as VisualEditor I
could not spot any difference between the old and new version.
