put_time() had a complicated implementation, because of having to shift
an 8-byte value in a portable way with old means.
That can be greatly simplified now, using a C99 fixed-size type.
Remove all long_u instances due to put_bytes() function.
First, function signature is changed this way:
- nr : long_u --> uintmax_t
uintmax_t is chosen so that invocations can use any unsigned integer
type (including size_t) without needing to cast.
- len : int --> unsigned int
This is to pass the size in bytes of the previous param, thus an
unsigned int is enough. All invocations use positive integer
literals, so change is safe without the need for casts.
Then, function implementation is adapted accordingly.
Last, all invocation points are refactored this way:
- Refactor types to minimize casts.
- Inline declarations (C99 style) in containing function.
All this changes were done with -Wconversion temporarily activated for
spell.c and undo.c, so that we can assert changes are type-safe and do
not introduce any warnings to that respect.
- 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.
As discussed in #694, vim encryption uses old,
obsolete algorithms that are poorly implemented.
Since insecure cryptography is worse than no
cryptgraphy, the community voted in favor of
removing all crypto.
Various alternatives to the old crypto is
being discussed in #701.
Closes#694.
Problem: Now that nvim/strings.h is correctly namespaced, an issue
that had been masked until now arises:
When compiling, we get a lot of errors because of everywhere
the functions in nvim/strings.h are used, there's no include
to import them.
But, how could this compile and work previously, then? It
turns out that:
- In every such case, we are also including vim.h, which in
turn includes os_unix_defs.h.
- os_unix_defs.h includes <string.h> and also <strings.h> in
some systems (e.g. OSX).
- Build had been modified previously to (even when importing
system headers), prefer equally-named local ones. That was
in fact done as a previous attempt to solve the same issue
we are trying to solve another way now.
So, we were including our "strings.h" as a side-effect of
including <strings.h> through "vim.h" --> "os_unix_defs.h".
Solution: Correctly include "nvim/strings.h" in every file needing it.
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.
