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.
@feature
It's now generalized to work properly with legacy functions
as well as correctly append suffixes. Thus, it can be easily
used with the documentation generator and in other places.
@feature
This commit adds the necessary generator logic to emit doc
comments from the new doc syntax. Old doc comments are kept
in for the time being as they're used within the EFL but they
will be removed eventually. This new generator focuses all the
important code in one place, making usage easy.
@feature
Because of Eina_Value being less than optimal in our usage, we're dropping it in Eolian.
This simplifies the code and makes it easier to bind to other languages, which
will aid new generators. Also, we're dropping long double support from eo files
and expressions as it causes an ABI breakage in gcc 4.4.
This commit also does several side (related) changes. Particularly, it updates
the Eolian C generator to use the new API, it adds missing expr types (null, char)
and masks, updates the API dealing with default return values to use expressions
instead of strings and does several fixes (mainly in lexer) around the place.
It also disallows single quoted strings as those are reserved for characters.
This new API supports function pointer types, multiple type subtypes, const attribute without parsing
the name string, own attribute for any partial type and more. This commit also updates the C and C++
generators so that they compile and generate correct code.
@feature
This patch:
- removes the @def from Doxygen, as it is not correct for API
functions.
- fixes the generation of class comments. When no class description is
supplied, no comment should be added.
place.
Instead of having the calculation (class name + function name + set/get)
in many places in the code, it is now in one place and accessible via a
function environment structure.
Until now, the functions giving access to class information were taking
the class name as parameter.
Except the fact that we needed to search into a hash table for the internal
class structure, no flexibility is possible.
This change consists in modifying most of the APIs using the class name
with a new Eolian_Class type and adapt the code of the C and C++
generators accordingly.
