Struct Cell 

pub struct Cell {
    pub ch: char,
    pub fg: Color,
    pub bg: Color,
    pub attrs: CellAttrs,
    pub width: u8,
    pub combining: u16,
}

One cell in a snapshotted pane. Carries the rendered character

• foreground / background colors + attrs + display width. Hyperlink / combining-char fields stay mado-side until a later phase ports mado’s full Cell wholesale.

Fields

ch: char

fg: Color

bg: Color

attrs: CellAttrs

width: u8

Display columns this cell occupies: 1 normal, 2 the LEAD of a double-width glyph, 0 the CONTINUATION cell owned by the lead to its left.

#[serde(default = "width_one")] and NOT a bare #[serde(default)]: bare default is 0, which means continuation, so an old daemon’s snapshot would decode as a grid of continuation cells and a renderer that skips width-0 would draw a completely blank pane. This is the highest-consequence default in the type.

combining: u16

Combining marks attached to this cell, as a 1-based index into PaneSnapshot::combining. 0 means none — the overwhelmingly common case, and why this is an index rather than an inline box.

Why interned and not Option<Box<Vec<char>>>

mado stores marks inline on the cell, and copying that shape here would cost Cell its Copy. That matters because PaneGrid::snapshot clones the entire scrollback, whose default cap is usize::MAX rows: with Copy those clones are a memcpy, while a boxed field turns every one into a per-cell branch plus drop glue over potentially millions of cells.

Interning keeps the hot path a memcpy and moves the rare data to the side, at the cost of one extra u16 per cell (Cell is 16 bytes, still under mado’s 24-byte budget).

Implementations

impl Cell

pub const BLANK: Self

pub const fn is_continuation(&self) -> bool

True when this cell is the second half of a double-width glyph and therefore owns no character of its own.

pub fn marks<'a>(&self, table: &'a [Vec<char>]) -> &'a [char]

The combining marks attached to this cell, resolved against a snapshot’s PaneSnapshot::combining table.

Empty for the common case. An index that outruns the table also yields empty rather than panicking — a truncated or mismatched table is a wire-level defect that must not take the renderer down.
