- Expose more logging control from the log.c module(get log stream and omit
newlines)
- Remove logging from the generated functions in msgpack-gen.lua
- Refactor channel.c/helpers.c to log every msgpack-rpc payload using
msgpack_object_print(a helper function from msgpack.h)
- Remove the api_stringify function, it was only useful for logging msgpack-rpc
which is now handled by msgpack_object_print.
Since all API functions now run immediately after a msgpack-rpc request is
parsed by libuv callbacks, a mechanism was added to override this behavior and
allow certain functions to run in Nvim main loop.
The mechanism is simple: Any API function tagged with the FUNC_ATTR_DEFERRED (a
"dummy" attribute only used by msgpack-gen.lua) will be called when Nvim main
loop receives a K_EVENT key.
To implement this mechanism it was necessary some restructuration on the
msgpack-rpc modules, especially in the msgpack-gen.lua script.
Now that the lua client is available, python/lupa are no longer necessary to run
the functional tests. The helper functions previously defined in
run-functional-tests.py were adapted to test/functional/helpers.lua.
The 'lupa' python package provides a simple way to seamless integrate lua and
python code.
This commit replaces vroom by a python script that exposes the 'neovim' package
to a lua state, and invokes busted to run functional tests. This is a temporary
solution that will enable writing functional tests using lua/bused while a lua
client library is not available.
The reason for dropping vroom is flexibility: Lua/busted has a nice DSL-style
syntax while also providing the customization power of a full programming
language. Another reason is to use a single framework for unit/functional tests.
Two other changes were performed in this commit:
- Instead of "gcc-unittest/gcc-ia32", the travis builds for gcc are now
identified by "gcc/gcc-32". They will run unit/functional tests for both 64
and 32 bits.
- Old integration tests(in src/nvim/testdir) are now ran by the 'oldtest' target
Adapt gendeclarations.lua/msgpack-gen.lua to allow the `ArrayOf(...)` and
`DictionaryOf(...)` types in function headers. These are simple macros that
expand to Array and Dictionary respectively, but the information is kept in the
metadata object, which is useful for building clients in statically typed
languages.
Instead of building all metadata from msgpack-gen.lua, we now merge the
generated part with manual information(such as types and features). The metadata
is accessible through the api method `vim_get_api_info`.
This was done to simplify the generator while also increasing flexibility(by
being able to add more metadata)
Enhance msgpack-gen.lua to extract custom api type codes from the ObjectType
enum in api/private/defs.h. The type information is made available from the api
metadata and clients can use to correctly serialize/deserialize these types
using msgpack EXT type.
A new method is now exposed via msgpack-rpc: "get_api_metadata". This method has
the same job as the old method '0', it returns an object with API metadata for
use by generators.
There's one difference in the return value though: instead of returning a
string containing another serialized msgpack document, the metadata object is
returned directly(a separate deserialization step by clients is not required).
Use Map(String, rpc_method_handler_fn) for storing/retrieving rpc method
handlers in msgpack_rpc_init and msgpack_rpc_dispatch.
Also refactor serialization/validation functions in the
msgpack_rpc.c/msgpack_rpc_helpers.c modules to accept the new STR and BIN types.
Using msgpack v5 will let nvim be more compatible with msgpack libraries for
other platforms.
This also replaces "raw" references by "bin" which is the new name for msgpack
binary data type
:diffsplit command used to include some flag value twice. If I was using bitwise
OR it would be OK, but I had addition here. Changed to use bitwise OR.
To simplify modification/inclusion of continuous integration targets, this
removes travis.sh which contains a big if statement in favor of multiple scripts
under the new '.ci' directory.
Also changed the default log level to INFO so developers won't end up with big
log files without asking explicitly(DLOG statements were placed in really "hot"
code)
- Initialize variables before validating argument count to remove possibility of
freeing uninitialized pointers
- Set the error when the argument count validation fails
This simplifies the generated msgpack_rpc_dispatch() function, separates the
code for each RPC method more clearly and allows easy implementation of
alternative dispatching methods (e.g. string method id dispatch).
Stop forcing some platform setting that are really intended to be used
for Travis CI. Under other systems, like Arch Linux, it prevents
dependencies from being correctly located.
This is how API dispatching worked before this commit:
- The generated `msgpack_rpc_dispatch` function receives a the `msgpack_packer`
argument.
- The response is incrementally built while validating/calling the API.
- Return values/errors are also packed into the `msgpack_packer` while the
final response is being calculated.
Now the `msgpack_packer` argument is no longer provided, and the
`msgpack_rpc_dispatch` function returns `Object`/`Error` values to
`msgpack_rpc_call`, which will use those values to build the response in a
single pass.
This was done because the new `channel_send_call` function created the
possibility of having recursive API invocations, and this wasn't possible when
sharing a single `msgpack_sbuffer` across call frames(it was shared implicitly
through the `msgpack_packer` instance).
Since we only start to build the response when the necessary information has
been computed, it's now safe to share a single `msgpack_sbuffer` instance
across all channels and API invocations.
Some other changes also had to be performed:
- Handling of the metadata discover was moved to `msgpack_rpc_call`
- Expose more types as subtypes of `Object`, this was required to forward the
return value from `msgpack_rpc_dispatch` to `msgpack_rpc_call`
- Added more helper macros for casting API types to `Object`

Modify gendeclarations.lua to check if the generated non-static declaration
header changed before rewriting it with a new version. This is to prevent
unnecessary rebuilds of modules that depend on modules that had private changes.
- 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.
