[vim/vim] getloclist does not return an empty dictionary when there is no location list (#6990)
Nate Bosch
The documentation for getloclist states:
Returns an empty Dictionary if there is no location list for the window {nr} or the window is not present.
However there is either always an empty location list to start, or a non-empty dictionary is returned when there is no list.
Reproduction steps:
vim -u NONE
:echo getloclist(1, {'all': 0})
Expected: {}
Actual: {'changedtick': 0, 'context': '', 'quickfixtextfunc': '', 'filewinid': 0, 'qfbufnr': 0, 'items': [], 'id': 0, 'nr': 0, 'winid': 0, 'idx': 0, 'title': '', 'size': 0}
The same result if I add a location list and then call setloclist(1, [], 'f'), I expect that getloclist would then return an empty dictionary.

present, then returns an
empty dictionary. If the location list is not present, then returns default
values for all the items.
This is to be consistent with the quickfix stack which cannot be deleted
unlike the location list stack.

Fixed by 8.2.1727. The commit fixed another issue – hence why the message seems irrelevant – but the documentation was still updated in it.
