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
Enchant is enabled only if the new option for cmake (or configure) is enabled:
- for cmake: cmake -DENABLE_ENCHANT=ON
- for configure: ./configure --enable-enchant
Two hashtables have been added to store the spellers currently used (in all
buffers) and info for each buffer: array with pointers to spellers and state of
aspell for this buffer.
Therefore the spellers are not destroyed and created again on each buffer switch,
or each time screen is refreshed when window is split.
