If struct field doesn't explicitly sets since information, then since
is inherited from struct documentation if it is available.

In the specific case where you had "class A extends B composites C"
the correct composites branch was ignored and instead the implements
branch was used. This was entirely wrong/an oversight that did not
appear until now. Other combinations were handled correctly.
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.
The @by_ref qualifier is now allowed on parameters, returns and
struct fields in the usual qualifier section. It will mean that
this type is passed around by reference, and will only be allowed
on types that are not already pointer-like.
The @move qualifier will replace @owned as one with a clearer
meaning. It means "transfer of ownership". It has the same semantics
as the current @owned, i.e. on return values it transfers ownership
of the value to the caller, on parameters it transfers ownership
to the callee (the inverse is the default when not specified).
On struct fields, it means the field will transfer together with
the struct that contains it.
In the end this was just a failed experiment that didn't turn
out to be practical. For now, revert back to ptr(const(T)) until
a proper replacement for pointer syntax is added.
This restricts disallowing value types to containers that can own
them.
It also disallows usage of @owned on those view-only containers,
as that makes no sense.
You can now declare errors like this:
error Foo = "message"; [[documentation]]
Then you can use them as types like this:
foo {
return: error(Error1, Error2, ...);
}
They have a separate type category and storage. They are checked
for redefinitions the same as anything else though. This does
not add any generator support nor it adds any advanced checking.
Ref T6890
This adds a new unified syntax for giving declarations C names.
Classes: class @c_name(Foo) Foo ...
Types: type @c_name(Foo) Foo: Bar ...
Structs: struct @c_name(Foo) Foo ...
and so on. Type instances properly inherit those. This also cleans
up some other parts of the source code.
Fixes T6716.
This implements initial support for specifying unit versions.
The default version is 1, specifying the basic feature level.
If you want to specify another version, you need to specify
something like `#version 2` at the beginning of the .eo or
.eot file; the version number must be higher than 0 and lower
than USHRT_MAX (typically 65536).
The beginning of the file is now called the "header section";
other things may be added into the header section later.
Version cannot be specified twice, and it cannot be specified
once other contents (like types or class definition) appear.
Comments do not count as other contents, so those are fine
to appear before #version.
@feature
@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 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.
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
This adds support for inlist structs, a special type of struct
that can only be used with inlists. This differs from regular
structs in a couple ways:
1) They are stored separately. Just like structs, enums, aliases
have their own storage, so do inlist structs.
2) They can't be @extern, nor they can be opaque.
3) They are their own type of typedecl.
4) When they contain only one field, this field must be a value
type always, cannot be a pointer.
Like regular structs, they can have arbitrary fields, and they
can have a pre-set free function via @free().
In C, the inlist structs will be generated exactly like ordinary
ones, except they will have EINA_INLIST before the first field.
Other binding generators can deal with them as they wish, for
example to provide high level interfaces to them.
This does not yet do the plumbing necessary to hook these into
the type system, nor it adds generator support.
@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.

That means, it can only now be used on parameters and struct
fields, never aliased within typedefs. This simplifies the
logic so that we don't have ptr metadata buried several layers
deep.
