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.
Detail of changes:
- the save of upgrade files in plugins is now done as soon as the "upgrade"
signal is received, and not when the plugin is unloaded (it was too late to
detect any problem and prevent the upgrade to happen)
- if the write of an upgrade file fails, the signal callback in plugin now
returns WEECHAT_RC_ERROR and WeeChat checks this code to stop the upgrade as
soon as this return code is received
- a new flag is added in plugin structure: unload_with_upgrade, it is set to 1
before unloading all plugins when upgrade will happen (all *.upgrade files
are then already successfully written).
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
This is a workaround (disabled by default) to join and chat on ISO
encoded channels (or another charset different from UTF-8).
This option may be removed in future if a better solution is
implemented.
For a server called "znc" in WeeChat, following command will enable the
"server-time" capability:
/set irc.server.znc.capabilities "znc.in/server-time"
