Units are Eolian files (eo/eot). Each unit contains information
about its class, dependencies, variables and types. This allows
for saner checking to be done.
New API function eolian_doc_token_ref_get will resolve the kind of
reference in the given token and extract the necessary data you
might need for further use, for example class and function for
methods, or struct and field for struct field. It also supports
event references that will be added into Eolian later.
EFL will be switched to the new resolver (by changing the validator
code) during the next step.
This provides an API to tokenize Eolian docstrings. It does not
yet switch the rest of the infra to it, but it does have tests.
It doesn't verify correctness of references, as that's Eolian's
job. Therefore it's also your job to provide it with strings that
do not contain invalid references. Lua bindings are to come and
a complete switch will be done later.
@feature
Because of this the cyclic check would occasionally have false positives.
By moving deferred eo parsing to the end of the whole parse process, it
can no longer affect the cyclic checker.
@fix
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
This doesn't quite work yet as path sanitization needs to be done for it to
work correctly. For now this code path is disabled and will be enabled once
all paths are correctly sanitized.
Sorry for last minute new API, but this one is necessary to implement
proper verification of references in docs, which I would like to have
in 1.15. It allows you to retrieve any kind of declaration by full
namespace, so that you can check for an existence of an Eolian decl,
rather than checking every type individually.
@feature
This is kind of ugly, but I didn't see a better way to do it without turning
this into a much more complicated parser. So this will have to do unless we
find something else to add, in which case a new doc parser will be required.
@feature
This adds new APIs that deal with the new documentation syntax
provided by Eolian. The old doc comment APIs are considered
deprecated from now on and will be removed.
@feature
Eo files will now fail to compile if a cycle is detected.
This required some temporary changes in existing eo files
(we had 2 cycles) for which I added a FIXME (they do not
affect C generation).
@feature
If the class is not found, we retrieve its full path if it has already
been scanned.
This patch is needed by Espion so Eolian can find the full path of a
class by its name. Espion has no way to determine it by itself.
