As only a few API functions make use of explicit freeing of the return
value, make it opt-in instead. The arena is always present under the
hood, so `Arena *arena` arg now doesn't mean anything other than getting
access to this arena. Also it is in principle possible to return an
allocated value while still using the arena as scratch space for other
stuff (unlikely, but there no reason to not allow it).
Remove `export` pramgas from defs headers as it causes IWYU to believe
that the definitions from the defs headers comes from main header, which
is not what we really want.
"export" only prevents IWYU from adding these headers if the headers
that export them are included, while "private" ensures that IWYU never
adds these headers.
problem: can we have Serde?
solution: we have Serde at home
This by itself is just a change of notation, that could be quickly
merged to avoid messy merge conflicts, but upcoming changes are planned:
- keysets no longer need to be defined in one single file. `keysets.h` is
just the initial automatic conversion of the previous `keysets.lua`.
keysets just used in a single api/{scope}.h can be moved to that file, later on.
- Typed dicts will have more specific types than Object. this will
enable most of the existing manual typechecking boilerplate to be eliminated.
We will need some annotation for missing value, i e a boolean will
need to be represented as a TriState (none/false/true) in some cases.
- Eventually: optional parameters in form of a `Dict opts` final
parameter will get added in some form to metadata. this will require
a discussion/desicion about type forward compatibility.
Allow Include What You Use to remove unnecessary includes and only
include what is necessary. This helps with reducing compilation times
and makes it easier to visualise which dependencies are actually
required.
Work on https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/549, but doesn't close
it since this only works fully for .c files and not headers.
