Auto scroll from assembly results in "Cursor position outside buffer" about compiler-explorer.nvim HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi. I've noticed this behavior before but I did not have the time to investigate. It seems that the problem comes from what the godbolt REST API sends back in the asm field when making an /api/compiler/g113/compile POST request. Some of the entries in the asm field that are used for line highlighting/jumping are lines that are outside the source buffer (eg: 616, 880). This means that we are either not setting a necessary config option in the compile body or there is a problem with the REST API itself. In the latter case, we should probably open an issue upstream. Either way, I think that wrapping the api.nvim_win_set_cursor() with a pcall might fix this temporarily until we find out what botches the REST API response.

The lines that are outside the buffer seem to be corresponding to library header files. Check lines 67 or 68 from the REST API response using dev tools here: https://godbolt.org/z/6nvch3aPh . I'll make sure to filter them before adding them to the highlights table.

This should be fixed. Feel free to reopen this if it still happens.

Thanks for the insights.

I don't think it fixed the bug, because the underlying problem is that the highlighter uses line number from other files than the buffer.
When the imported file has a line number which is smaller than the current buffers line number, it is going to highlight false lines.

Feel free to cherry-pick it
