Doc refs no longer introduce new dependencies into files. Instead,
they're parsed globally, and any doc ref lookup is also made
globally. This allows unit based dependencies to correspond more
to what files actually really need at compile time/runtime, with
docs being irrelevant to that; it also simplifies the API.
The doc resolution API now takes Eolian_State instead of
Eolian_Unit, too.
Eolian doc objects now bundle debug information necessary to
provide correct line/column numbers. It is not possible to get
this information cirectly from the text, as it's reformatted and
contains no extra whitespace or newlines beyond paragraph
separators.
Fixes T6701.
This change finally introduces deferred parsing of inherits to
Eolian, after a long time and many iterations. That means instead
of parsing inherits directly as part of the main file's parse pass,
they're pushed into a queue and parsed later. The validation engine
was modified to properly fill in the remaining info afterwards.
This may introduce breakages but I haven't noticed any. It also
properly unlocks cyclic dependency support in Eolian.
Additionally, this also introduces checks for duplicates in class
inherits (class Foo(Bar, Bar) is no longer possible) and it adds
stricter name checks, so you can no longer have a class Foo.Bar
and refer to it as Foo_Bar in implements. This was actually never
meant to be supported, but the check was previously broken.
@feature
For one, the hash has to be populated once per inheritance tree
and the skipping on already-validated funcs was interfering with
that as the function might have been validated in another
inheritance tree already.
Also, if a class appeared multiple times in an inheritance tree,
as is common with e.g. Efl.Object, it would get added into the
hash the first time and then checked against the second time,
which would result in a strange error message about the
function being redefined in its own class.
So now we prevent both cases from happening.
This makes sure that duplicate method/part/etc checks are done on
every database update, removing the need for clunky toplevel
checks and improving reliability. It also sacrifices some
performance but it shouldn't be too bad (if a class is already
validated, some checks are avoided to speed things up).
The check was only done on one of the two functions, resulting in some
unwanted warnings.
EOLIAN_WARN_FUNC_DUPLICATES=1 will show non-beta warnings.
EOLIAN_WARN_FUNC_DUPLICATES=2 will still show all warnings.
This disallows deeply nested pointers, you can only explicitly
ptr() on types that are strictly value types.
For a few cases where it was necessary to override this behavior,
you can use legacy(ptr(x)) as a temporary measure.
No warnings:
export EOLIAN_WARN_FUNC_DUPLICATES=0
No beta warnings:
export EOLIAN_WARN_FUNC_DUPLICATES=1
All warnings including beta:
export EOLIAN_WARN_FUNC_DUPLICATES=2
EOLIAN_WARN_FUNC_DUPLICATES is not an API and may change in the future
as we improve the tool :)
Most of the time you need to retrieve the class from the string
anyway, so remove this relic of old Eolian and gain some small
performance benefits and extra convenience.
Subtly breaks API but everything should be updated.
These types are of questionable value and the API was not entirely
thought out - remove for now, and if a legitimate use is found
later, they may be readded (with a better API), but typically it
seems best to redesign the bad APIs around safe containers...
First steps toward explicit function pointer support in eolian.
To declare a function pointer type, use the following syntax, similar to
a regular eolian method declaration.
function FunctionName {
params {
...
}
return: Return type
}
This allows us to unify retrieval of docs for both regular and
overridden funcs without having two separate APIs. It's currently
missing validation and docgen is still not adjusted properly for
it either, but at least there's this. Enables retrieval of docs
for overridden funcs by default as well.
Adds two new type types, STATIC_ARRAY and TERMINATED_ARRAY. Static arrays are
only allowed as struct members right now - they translate to regular C static
arrays (allowing them elsewhere wouldn't be good, as C isn't very good at
working with the size information). Terminated arrays are basically sequences
of data terminated at the end. The base type of static arrays can be any type
that is not marked ref (explicit ref may get allowed later). The base type of
terminated arrays has the same restriction plus that it has to be either
implicitly reference type (i.e. translating to pointer in C), integer type
or a character. In case of ref types, the terminator is NULL. In case of
integer types, the terminator is a zero. In case of character types, the
terminator is also a zero (null terminator like C strings).
@feature
This allows generators to silence type errors in validation in order
to reduce duplicate error messages when generating multiple files.
Also adjusted the C generator to only emit type errors when generating
Eo header files.
@feature
Sometimes it is necessary to specify a different set of values for a
getter or a setter. This commit allows such specializations. This also
renders @const_get and @const_set useless (soon to be removed).
To function correctly, this required adjustment of several public APIs
as well as deprecation of eolian_function_parameter_get_by_name.
This function was not used in any generator and was pretty much
useless in the first place, so it was removed.
