- The data member of String's can now be passed directly to functions
expecting C strings, as we now guarantee that they are NUL-terminated.
This obviates the need to use xstrndup and free, simplifying code and
enhancing performance.
- Use xmemdupz instead of xstrndup for converting String's into C strings.
It's faster because it doesn't calculate strlen(string.data) (which is
unnecesary as that information is already provided in string.size anyway).
- Use cstr_to_string to convert from C strings to String, it is both shorter
and faster than the usual strlen/xstrndup combo, which calls strlen twice.
cstr_to_string internally calls strlen and then xmemdupz.
- The 'stripdecls.py' script replaces declarations in all headers by includes to
generated headers.
`ag '#\s*if(?!ndef NEOVIM_).*((?!#\s*endif).*\n)*#ifdef INCLUDE_GENERATED'`
was used for this.
- Add and integrate gendeclarations.lua into the build system to generate the
required includes.
- Add -Wno-unused-function
- Made a bunch of old-style definitions ANSI
This adds a requirement: all type and structure definitions must be present
before INCLUDE_GENERATED_DECLARATIONS-protected include.
Warning: mch_expandpath (path.h.generated.h) was moved manually. So far it is
the only exception.
When receiving strings *from* msgpack, we don't need to duplicate/free since
the data only lives in the msgpack parse buffer until the end of the call.
But in order to reuse `msgpack_rpc_free_object` when sending event data(which is
sent *to* msgpack), Strings must be freed, which means they must also be
allocated separately.
Instead of exposing native C types to a public API that can be consumed by other
platforms, we are now using the following translation:
int64_t -> Integer
double -> Float
bool -> Boolean
Problem: Some newly introduced files used includes relative to the
current file, both of the form `include "../XXX.h"` and
`include "XXX.h"`.
Preferred form is relative to include root (src/ in our case).
Solution: Change includes to preferred form.
Note: This is also done to ease next commit (prepend 'nvim/ to all
project-local includes).
Move files from src/ to src/nvim/.
- src/nvim/ becomes the new root dir for nvim executable sources.
- src/libnvim/ is planned to become root dir of the neovim library.
