This patch adds //go: pragmas directly to declared functions and
globals found during CGo processing. This simplifies the logic in the
compiler: it no longer has to consider special "C." prefixed function
names. It also makes the cgo pass more flexible in the pragmas it emits
for functions and global variables.
Previously, libclang was run on each fragment (import "C") separately.
However, in regular Go it's possible for later fragments to refer to
types in earlier fragments so they must have been parsed as one.
This commit changes the behavior to run only one C parser invocation for
each Go file.
This doesn't yet add support for actually making use of variadic
functions, but at least allows (unintended) variadic functions like the
following to work:
void foo();
Instead of putting the magic in the AST, generate regular accessor
methods. This avoids a number of special cases in the compiler, and
avoids missing any of them.
The resulting union accesses are somewhat clunkier to use, but the
compiler implementation has far less coupling between the CGo
implementation and the IR generator.
Not all enums may be used as a type anywhere, which was previously the
only way to include an enum in the AST. This commit makes sure all enums
are included.
This commit renames reserved field names like `type` to `_type`, and in
turn renames those fields as well (recursively). This avoids name
clashes when a C struct contains a field named `type`, which is a
reserved keyword in Go.
