This is how Nvim behaves when the "abstract_ui" termcap is activated:
- No data is written/read to stdout/stdin by default.
- Instead of sending data to stdout, ui_write will parse the termcap codes
and invoke dispatch functions in the ui.c module.
- The dispatch functions will forward the calls to all attached UI
instances(each UI instance is an implementation of the UI layer and is
registered with ui_attach).
- Like with the "builtin_gui" termcap, "abstract_ui" does not contain any key
sequences. Instead, vim key strings(<cr>, <esc>, etc) are parsed directly by
input_enqueue and the translated strings are pushed to the input buffer.
With this new input model, its not possible to send mouse events yet. Thats
because mouse sequence parsing happens in term.c/check_termcodes which must
return early when "abstract_ui" is activated.
- 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.
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.
