Unit tests never need to declare globals, only access them. In the main code
base this is handled by including "vim.h". If a file wants to declare
globals (in the case of neovim that's only main.c), it #define's EXTERN and
includes "vim.h". Otherwise, a file just includes "vim.h" (that's the
majority case). Since we want to be able to run unit tests without including
"vim.h", we predefine "EXTERN" to mean extern. That way, we don't have to
include "vim.h".
- 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.
This commit will hopefully allow the cimport method to be used just as one
would use #inclue <header.h> in C. It follows the following method:
1. create a pseudoheader file that #include's all the requested header files
2. runs the pseudoheader through the C preprocessor (it will try various
compilers if available on the system).
3. runs the preprocessed file through a C formatter, which attempts to group
statements on one line. For example, a struct definition that was
formerly on several lines will take just one line after formatting. This
is done so that unique declarations can be detected. Duplicates are thus
easy to remove.
4. remove lines that are too complex for the LuaJIT C parser (such as:
Objective-C block syntax, crazy enums defined on linux, ...)
5. remove duplicate declarations
6. pass result to ffi.cdef
