@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
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.

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.

Each regular class can now have a section called 'composite',
which can contain interfaces and interfaces only. This defines
a list of interfaces that are allowed to be unimplemented on the
class, as it is assumed the class will be composited with some
other class implementing those interfaces.
Only regular classes can have this, as only regular classes can
be instantiated.
It will also be necessary to check whether the classes in the
section appear somewhere within the inheritance tree. For now,
this testing is not being done.
Example of usage:
composite {
Some.Magic.Interface;
Another.Magic.Interface;
}
directly in the class body.
This introduces a new keyword called required. It only works on mixins.
You can specify a list of regular/abstract classes in there.
Classes specified after the required keyword are later used to verify
the usage of the mixin. With this feature a mixin can define a list of
types that the inheriting object (the object that inherits from a mixin)
needs to fullfill, if one class that is required is not in the
implemented classes, then eolian will bail out.

This new syntax separates the parent class from extensions, in
a familiar way to similar to e.g. Java. Since changing everything
at once is a lot of effort, implement it alongside for the time
being.
Summary:
This tagging keyword explicitly asks, for bindings that support it,
that the constructor's parameters are added to the class constructor.
Allowing the user to instantiate the class and call the constructor in
a straightforward way.

This is much like 'import' but doesn't add the imported file into
the dependency list for the current file. This is to enable doc
reference validation to remain functional without needlessly
introducing file dependencies just to satisfy it.
This is a "pass by reference to const" equivalent. There is no explicit pointer
and currently it's the same as ptr(const(x)) on the type. However, it is also
usable on properties.
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...
This is a new type representing a mutable string (no const).
Regular strings cannot be made mutable with @owned because
they might be hidden behind typedefs.
This is the new ownership system for Eolian, working on params,
returns, struct fields or events directly rather than specifying
ownership at type level. As the new system will evolve it will
gain missing features and necessary checks.
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
}
We don't need to keep this in eo files anymore because the APIs
using them are now fully in C. This also allows removal of the
event callback builtin from Eolian.
Future is the read only side of a Promise. For now, I am not removing
Eina_Promise until everything is in place, but eventually the promise
type of eolian will be gone.
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 implements a new builtin, stringshare, which is replaced with the right
pointer to Eina_Strinshare as necessary. This allows simplifying binding code
(it can call the proper eina APIs, deal with lifetime etc).
It also removes the extern Eina.Stringshare typedef from eina_types.eot, which
was actually incorrect and would generate invalid code in binding generators.
@feature @fix
Previously, multi-char tokens (such as strings, docs etc) always put the error
cursor to the end of the token. That was confusing, so now the cursor always
appears at the beginning of the token instead (for multiline tokens, currently
only docs, the line number is also adjusted to point to the first line of the
doc token).
@fix
It's now possible to mark struct fields and function params as "references",
which causes them to become pointers in C (in bindings, they become whatever
is necessary). They're not a part of the type and are much more restricted
than pointers, allowing bindings to be easier. This system will be gradually
utilized and expanded as required.
