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 fixes a bug when writing configuration files with a wrong locale: now
UTF-8 is kept and written in files instead of string converted using a wrong
charset.
New options are added to configure the chars displayed for spaces and
tabulations:
- weechat.look.whitespace_char: char for spaces
- weechat.look.tab_whitespace_char: first char for tabulations
New default key:
- Alt+Ctrl+l (L): toggle execution of commands: remote/local
New options:
- relay.api.remote_input_cmd_local: text displayed for command executed locally
- relay.api.remote_input_cmd_remote: text displayed for command executed on the
remote WeeChat

This follows the recommendation from Pythons documentation for
PyModule_GetDict where it says:
It is recommended extensions use other PyModule_* and PyObject_*
functions rather than directly manipulate a module’s __dict__.
This value determines the size of the per-module memory area. Setting
this value to -1 as it was before this change means that the module has
global state and therefore does not support subinterpreters.
However, subinterpreters are used to run the Python scripts, so the
weechat module has to support subinterpreters. Therefore we should set
this value to 0 as no per-module memory is required.
This seems to fix the crash reported in #2046 without the need for the
workaround added in commit 85c7494dc (it does for me when testing with
Python 3.12.0 at least).
This change came up as a suggestion in cpython's issue tracker where it
was pointed out that using modules with m_size set to -1 is not
supported in subinterpreters. See these two comments:
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/116510#issuecomment-2377915771https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/116510#issuecomment-2389485369
It's not completely clear to me what is required for a module to support
subinterpreters and re-initialization (which is required for setting
m_size to 0), but https://peps.pythondiscord.com/pep-0489/ says:
A simple rule of thumb is: Do not define any static data, except
built-in types with no mutable or user-settable class attributes.
The only static data we define is of type int and str, so I think it
should be fine.
This fixes the following CMake warning:
CMake Warning (dev) at src/gui/curses/normal/CMakeLists.txt:73 (add_custom_command):
Exactly one of PRE_BUILD, PRE_LINK, or POST_BUILD must be given. Assuming
POST_BUILD to preserve backward compatibility.
Policy CMP0175 is not set: add_custom_command() rejects invalid arguments.
Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0175" for policy details. Use the cmake_policy
command to set the policy and suppress this warning.
This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.
