At the moment, building WeeChat triggers several thousand -Wstrict-prototypes
diagnostics. This is due to its source code using an empty argument list for
functions and function pointers that take no arguments, instead of explicitly
declaring that they take no arguments by using a void list.
This commit replaces all empty argument lists with a void list.
Note that Ruby's headers also suffer the same problem, which WeeChat can't
do anything to fix. Thus, building WeeChat with the Ruby plugin enabled
will still issue approximately 30 such diagnostics.
This pointer is the first argument received by callbacks, and the
existing argument "data" is now automatically freed by WeeChat when the
object containing the callback is removed.
With this new pointer, the linked list of callbacks in scripts has been
removed. This will improve speed of scripts (using a lot of hooks),
reduce memory used by scripts and reduce time to unload scripts.
Following functions are affected in the C API:
* exec_on_files
* config_new
* config_new_section
* config_new_option
* hook_command
* hook_command_run
* hook_timer
* hook_fd
* hook_process
* hook_process_hashtable
* hook_connect
* hook_print
* hook_signal
* hook_hsignal
* hook_config
* hook_completion
* hook_modifier
* hook_info
* hook_info_hashtable
* hook_infolist
* hook_hdata
* hook_focus
* unhook_all_plugin
* buffer_new
* bar_item_new
* upgrade_new
* upgrade_read
New features:
- new command /logger
- log level, to log only some messages, according to importance (task #8592)
- level by buffer: custom level for some buffers (or group of buffers)
- log filename mask by buffer (or group of buffers)
- marker line is added after display of backlog
- add "delete" callback for config file sections
- add "mkdir_parents" function to plugin API
- remove old log options in IRC plugin
Bug fix:
- marker line is set only when user switches buffer (not when a plugin force
switch, like IRC plugin does when opening server or channel buffer)
- backlog fixed (sometimes lines were not properly displayed)
