- Leave src as include dir (for includes to recognize 'nvim/' prefix).
- Change subdirectory from src to src/nvim.
- Fix msgpack generation.
- Fix some other paths to new locations.
- Split functions with multiple files in the 'api' subdirectory
- Move/Add more types in the 'api/defs.h' header
- Add more prototypes
- Refactor scripts/msgpack-gen.lua
- Move msgpack modules to 'os' subdirectory
This adds a lua script which parses the contents of 'api.h'. After the api is
parsed into a metadata table. After that, it will generate:
- A msgpack blob for the metadata table. This msgpack object contains everything
scripting engines need to generate their own wrappers for the remote API.
- The `msgpack_rpc_dispatch` function, which takes care of validating msgpack
requests, converting arguments to C types and passing control to the
appropriate 'api.h' function. The result is then serialized back to msgpack
and returned to the client.
This approach was used because:
- It automatically modifies `msgpack_rpc_dispatch` to reflect API changes.
- Scripting engines that generate remote call wrappers using the msgpack
metadata will also adapt automatically to API changes
