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.
@fix
Also disable typed expression validation for now. The interfaces are not
finished yet so some things will fail validation because of unexistent
type definitions.
Fixes T2064.
@fix
From now on, there are 5 builtin complex types, particularly accessor, array,
iterator, hash and list. All other types are simple - they can't have a complex
part. Also, the <> now binds to the type itself, not the pointer. More builtin
complex types will be added as needed.
