This was meant to happen but did not previously happen. It is not
ideal to do it now but better do it while we still can.
In short, this removes one half of the variables API (keeps
constants as they are) and repurposes the API to be only for
constants. This is also better for consistency to match errors.
This is unnecessary because for all contexts where type is
relevant the validator already makes sure the type and expression
match correctly, so you don't ever need to re-validate it. If you
are doing a generic case and are not sure, just use MASK_ALL.
Binbuf is like strbuf and allows not using the Eina opaque wrapper
now, which will remove some ptr(). And event translates to
Efl.Event because otherwise there would be no way to get rid
of void_ptr.
@warn_unused in syntax is now called @no_unused - this is because
"warning about unused" is a C thing (or rather, an extension to C)
and various languages might want to use stricter behavior for this.
Its associated API does the reverse now - it lets you query whether
being unused is allowed at all. This is to match future behavior
of Eolian (once it supports versioning) that will likely reverse it.
@feature
This has been deprecated for a while and is not strictly necessary
- as a part of an effort to stabilize Eolian, remove this. Eolian
will eventually gain support for versioning and use a reversed
behavior (i.e. no NULL by default), but the API it wlll use for
that will be very different. Features can always be added, it's
much harder to drop them.
@feature
This was an experiment that never properly took off and was never
used by any generator. Its use was highly variable, so it could
not be relied upon. We will still want to reverse the current
behavior eventually (no null by default), but that will be
done with eo file versioning in the future.
@feature
This is for consistency with the new eolian_class_c_macro_get
as well as for better clarity, as c_name_get is already provided
by Object and refers to something else.
This is to prepare for type/class renaming support. This adds
the necessary API to retrieve C-specific names. Other refactoring
is necessary elsewhere for now.
This also renames the old API eolian_class_c_name_get to
eolian_class_c_macro_get to avoid conflict as well as clarify
the intention.
This splits the eolian_file_parse API into two, one for parsing
files already present in the database (always by filename) and
one for parsing paths.
It fixes several bugs/leaks on the way (incorrect use of
stringshare etc.) as well as adds checking for whether there
are no conflicting filenames at scan time, for free. That means
it is now no longer possible to scan two paths which have an eo
or eot file of the same name in them.
It should also be faster now.
It also fixes T7820.
@fix
Summary:
This removes all Eolian API that deals with handling of legacy
code. It also removes the code using it in the generator as well
as bindings, but for now keeps generation of .eo.legacy.h types,
as there are still instances in our codebase where things are
otherwise broken. We can remove the rest once that is resolved.

Summary:
This also simplifies the beta checking API by unifying it under
objects (makes much more sense that way) and reworks the validator
to have betaness support within its context state, allowing checks
to be done easily in any place.
The betaness checks are disabled for types for the time being,
because otherwise there are too many errors (types are assumed
to be stable as they are not tagged beta, but they reference beta
classes all over the place). Set EOLIAN_TYPEDECL_BETA_WARN to 1
in your environment to force enable the checks.

This feature was kind of ill-conceived and never worked properly.
Since there isn't enough time to make it work right at this point
and there are no users of it in the API, remove it for now.
It might get added in the next release cycle, in a proper form.
@feature
Summary:
This adds two new complex types, slice<T> and rw_slice<T>. This
is necessary to make the type useful to bindings, as Eina_Slice
on its own says nothing about what it's carrying and that prevents
useful code from being generated outside of C.

Eolian now separates 'parent' and 'extensions'. For regular
classes, parent is the first item in the inherits list and
extesions is the rest. For interfaces and mixins, parent is
NULL and extends is the inherits list.
The reason for this is the separation of them in syntax in near
future. It also slightly changes the behavior; since for interfaces
and mixins, parent is always NULL now, you can freely inherit from
all types of classes without needing to manually put an interface
type as the first item of the inherits list.
This information has been stored and used in Eolian until now
but not exposed to the API user. While there are roundabout ways
to retrieve the class for an event, this one is direct and costs
us nothing.
This will make it easier for generators and utilities to retrieve
the class that implemented a method/property/etc rather than the
class the implement was originally defined for. Thanks to this
it will no longer be necessary to carry the class pointer around
the place.

meson was taken because it went quite good for enlightenment, and is a traction gaining system that is also used by other mayor projects. Additionally, the DSL that is defined my meson makes the configuration of the builds a lot easier to read.
Further informations can be gathered from the README.meson
Right now, bindings & windows support are missing.
It is highly recommented to use meson 0.48 due to optimizations in meson
that reduced the time the meson call would need.

Depends on D7011
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.
Added support for Eolian_Object, made other luaified types
"inherited" from Eolian_Object, removed type-specific file_get
as it was replaced by Object's file_get, declarations API still
in place
