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.
I hadn't spotted that the `sh -e` commandline was being used. I *think* this
is what's causing the exit 0 line not to run. Pray for success.
It's a real shame I can't this locally, what a mess.
Run only on push to branch coverity-scan. We can use a cron script to do
this 4 times a week (that's our allowance).
NOTE: possible future improvements are:
1. Fold the build matrix item into another short one so we don't overburden
travis. It's a little less clear but it should be nicer on the
infrastructure.
2. Change the security token, one can do that from the coverity admin page.
3. Don't do the naive `make depend`, but use the prebuilt libraries.
It inteferes with development activities by breaking your build in the
middle of a refactor. Instead, let's enable -Werror on the Travis CI
builds via a TRAVIS_CI_BUILD option.
- Add a 'expect' utility script that can run simple API tests using clients
developed for any platform.
- Extend travis build matrix to run API tests using the python client and
valgrind.
This script can be used to write API tests without having to manage nvim's
lifetime:
- It starts a single nvim instance listening on a known socket
- Invokes the test runner, which should connect to NEOVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS
- The nvim instance started by the script provides a `BeforeEachTest` function,
which should be called before each test to reset nvim to a clean state.
- It takes care of shutting down nvim once the tests are finished.
As explained
[here](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/737#issuecomment-43941520), it's
not possible to fully reset nvim to it's initial state, but the `BeforeEachTest`
function should be enough for most test cases. Tests requiring a fully clean
nvim instance should take care of starting/stopping nvim.
- Leave src as include dir (for includes to recognize 'nvim/' prefix).
- Change subdirectory from src to src/nvim.
- Fix msgpack generation.
- Fix some other paths to new locations.
- Split functions with multiple files in the 'api' subdirectory
- Move/Add more types in the 'api/defs.h' header
- Add more prototypes
- Refactor scripts/msgpack-gen.lua
- Move msgpack modules to 'os' subdirectory
- Build targeting 32-bit with travis
- Code in `before_install`/`after_success` was moved to travis.sh since it
provides greater flexibility for detecting the build matrix environment. This
improves the build speed since we now install only what's necessary.
- Now clint has a dedicated travis worker
Dependencies are now hosted in a github repository and this brings two advantages:
- Improved build time with travis since we no longer have to build each
dependency
- Less chance of build errors due to external servers being down since Github is
now the single point of failure
This adds a lua script which parses the contents of 'api.h'. After the api is
parsed into a metadata table. After that, it will generate:
- A msgpack blob for the metadata table. This msgpack object contains everything
scripting engines need to generate their own wrappers for the remote API.
- The `msgpack_rpc_dispatch` function, which takes care of validating msgpack
requests, converting arguments to C types and passing control to the
appropriate 'api.h' function. The result is then serialized back to msgpack
and returned to the client.
This approach was used because:
- It automatically modifies `msgpack_rpc_dispatch` to reflect API changes.
- Scripting engines that generate remote call wrappers using the msgpack
metadata will also adapt automatically to API changes
It appears the llvm.org/apt/ repository isn't always reliable. So let's
use the release tarball instead. Also, make using 3.4 conditional, so
we can use the clang 3.3 if things still manage to go awry in the
future. Note: using 3.3 means that we won't get leak detection.
I left the logic for using llvm.org/apt/, just in case we want try using
it again sometime.
This achieves several goals:
* Less reliance on scripts so we have better portability to Windows
(though we still have a ways to go for proper Windows support).
Luajit, luarocks, moonscript, and busted are all installed via CMake
now.
* Trying to make use of pkg-config to get the correct libraries. The
latest libuv is still broken in this regard, but we'll at least be in
a position to use it.
* Allow the use of Ninja or make. The former runs faster in many
environments, and automatically makes use of parallel builds.
This also allows for system installed dependencies--though not through
the Makefile just yet--and adds support for FreeBSD.
This also make us build libuv and luajit as static libraries only, since
we're only concerned about having static libraries for our bundled
dependencies.
- Valgrind configuration removed
- Fix errors reported by the undefined behavior sanitizer
- Travis will now run two build steps:
- A normal build of a shared library for unit testing(in parallel with gcc)
- A clang build with some sanitizers enabled for integration testing.
After these changes travis will run much faster, while providing valgrind-like
error detection.
