runtime configuration files on Unix-like platforms. This addresses #584 in the
strictest sense, but some message work needs to happen as a result of this
change.
Additionally, the tidyplatform.h has been reformatted for legibility as part of
the continuing (slow) effort to improve our internal documentation.
This is a rather large refactoring of Tidy's messaging system. This was done
mostly to allow non-C libraries that cannot adequately take advantage of
arg_lists a chance to query report filter information for information related
to arguments used in constructing an error message.
Three main goals were in mind for this project:
- Don't change the contents of Tidy's existing output sinks. This will ensure
that changes do no affect console Tidy users, or LibTidy users who use the
output sinks directly. This was accomplished 100% other than some improved
cosmetics in the output. See tidy-html5-tests repository, the `refactor` and
`more_messages_changes` branches for these minor diffs.
- Provide an API that is simple and also extensible without having to write new
error filters all the time. This was accomplished by adding the new message
callback `TidyMessageCallback` that provides callback functions an opaque
object representing the message, and an API to query the message for wanted
details. With this, we should never have to add a new callback routine again,
as additional API can simply be written against the opaque object.
- The API should work the same as the rest of LibTidy's API in that it's
consistent and only uses simple types with wide interoperability with other
languages. Thanks to @gagern who suggested the model for the API in #409.
Although the API uses the "Tidy" way off accessing data via an iterator
rather than an index, this can be easily abstracted in the target language.
There are two *major* API breaking changes:
- Removed TidyReportFilter2
- This was only used by one application in the entire world, and was a hacky
kludge that served its purpose. TidyReportCallback (né TidyReportFilter3)
is much better. If, for some reason, this affects you, I recommend using
TidyReportCallback instead. It's a minor change for your application.
- Renamed TidyReportFilter3 to TidyReportCallback
- This name is much more semantic, and much more sensible in light of
improved callback system. As the name implies, it remains capable of
*only* receiving callbacks for Tidy "reports."
Introducing TidyMessageCallback, and a new message interrogation API.
- As its name implies, it is able to capture (and optionally suppress) *all*
of Tidy's output, including the dialogue messages that never make it to
the existing report filters.
- Provides an opaque `TidyMessage` and an API that can be used to query against
it to find the juicy goodness inside.
- For example, `tidyGetMessageOutput( tmessage )` will return the complete,
localized message.
- Another example, `tidyGetMessageLine( tmessage )` will return the line the
message applies to.
- You can also get information about the individual arguments that make up a
message. By using the `tidyGetMessageArguments( tmessage )` itorator and
`tidyGetNextMessageArgument` you will obtain an opaque `TidyMessageArgument`
which has its own interrogation API. For example:
- tidyGetArgType( tmessage, &iterator );
- tidyGetArgFormat( tmessage, &iterator );
- tidyGetArgValueString( tmessage, &iterator );
- …and so on.
Other major changes include refactoring `messages.c` to use the new message
"object" directly when emitting messages to the console or output sinks. This
allowed replacement of a lot of specialized functions with generalized ones.
Some of this generalizing involved modifications to the `language_xx.h` header
files, and these are all positive improvements even without the above changes.
- Consolidated all output string definitions enums into `tidyenum.h`, which
is where they belong, and where they have proper visibility.
- Re-arranged `messages.c/h` with several comments useful to developers.
- Properly added the key lookup functions and the language localization
functions into tidy.h/tidylib.c with proper name-spacing.
- Previous point restored a *lot* of sanity to the #include pollution that's
been introduced in light of these.
- Note that opaque types have been (properly) introduced. Look at the updated
headers for `language.h`. In particular only an opaque structure is passed
outside of LibTidy, and so use TidyLangWindowsName and TidyLangPosixName
to poll these objects.
- Console application updated as a result of this.
- Removed dead code:
- void TY_(UnknownOption)( TidyDocImpl* doc, char c );
- void TY_(UnknownFile)( TidyDocImpl* doc, ctmbstr program, ctmbstr file );
- Redundant strings were removed with the removal of this dead code.
- Several enums were given fixed starting values. YOUR PROGRAMS SHOULD NEVER
depend on enum values. `TidyReportLevel` is an example of such.
- Some enums were removed as a result of this. `TidyReportLevel` now has
matching strings, so the redundant `TidyReportLevelStrings` was removed.
- All of the PO's and language header files were regenerated as a result of
the string cleanup and header cleanup.
- Made the interface to the library version and release date consistent.
- CMakeLists.txt now supports SUPPORT_CONSOLE_APP. The intention is to
be able to remove console-only code from LibTidy (for LibTidy users).
- Updated README/MESSAGES.md, which is *vastly* more simple now.
In older versions of tidy, these headers were defined. Now, they are
renamed to tidybuffio.h and tidyplatform.h. This may be more of a
consistent naming scheme, but it breaks current software.
Re-add these headers and add compile time warning when such a header
is used.
- Removed documentation generation from CMake.
- These functions are now available in the api repository.
- Changed documentation directory to man to better illustrate its purpose.
CPack generated RPM failed to install due to the RPM
owning directories owned by filesystem packages.
Exclude mandir directories from CPack.
Resolves https://github.com/htacg/tidy-html5/issues/364
Add the ever present language_en.h to the sources. This does nothing
really, but is important in MSVC IDE project source searches.
Also added win32tc.h even though it is not presently used.
There was an idea to mark this function deprecated, such that if used the
developer would see a warning. But this was never implemented in a cross
platform way.
So for now revert to circa Jan 2015 when Jim added a build date to the
version.txt file. And now both LIBTIDY_VERSION and RELEASE_DATE macros are
established in CMakeLists.txt, and picked up in version.h.
The idea is the date will now march forward with the version number, side
by side in version.txt. Although have left tidy.c only emitting the
version on the --version command.
After this function has been marked deprecated for several release periods,
only then should consideration be given to potentially removing it.
First many other projects do this, and it seems a good choice.
Due mainly to windows where the static and shared libraries have the same
name, appended an 's' to the static library.
The tidy console app will use the static library, since to build the man
page tidy may need to be run before the shared libraries are installed.
And this makes the windows tidy exe a stand-alone app. No DLL install
issue.
This addresses issue #194, and possibly #190
The recommended place to run cmake is in the build/cmake directory,
but have changed a relative path to an absolute path which should
allow cmake to be run ANYWHERE!. See bottom of Issue #193
Also a few other minor tweak to CMakeLists.txt
