This reduces the build-time dependencies of glib to only Python 3,
Meson, and git. Git is also optional if you provide a tarball in
which the subproject directories already exist.
The Python port was done by Jussi Pakkanen on bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779332
This version contains some fixes from that and also changes all
instances of `@` to `\u0040` because Meson does not yet provide a
configure_file() mode that ignores unknown @MACRO@ values.
It is possible, when using GTK-Doc, to mark sections of an enumeration
type as "private": the values are there, but they are not documented,
and GTK-Doc won't complain about missing symbols:
typedef enum {
/*< private >*/
MY_FOO_PRIVATE,
/*< public >*/
MY_FOO_VALUE_A,
MY_FOO_VALUE_B,
/*< private >*/
MY_FOO_VALUE_C,
MY_FOO_VALUE_D
} MyFooValue;
The glib-mkenums parser also allows skipping enumeration values, using a
slightly different syntax:
typedef enum P
MY_BAR_PRIVATE, /*< skip >*/
MY_BAR_VALUE_A,
MY_BAR_VALUE_B
} MyBarValue;
The annotation must sit on the same line as the enumeration value.
Both GTK-Doc and glib-mkenum use the same trigraph syntax, but slightly
different keys. This makes combining them slightly redundant, but
feasible.
All would be well and good, except that glib-mkenum will generate a
warning for lines it does not understand — and that includes the GTK-Doc
annotation trigraph, which, when confronted with the MyFooValue
enumeration above, will result in a warning like:
glib-mkenums: myfoo.h:2: Failed to parse ` /*< private >*/ '
glib-mkenums: myfoo.h:5: Failed to parse ` /*< public >*/ '
glib-mkenums: myfoo.h:9: Failed to parse ` /*< private >*/ '
Of course, we could make glib-mkenum ignore any trigraph comment on a
stand alone line, but it would probably be better to ensure that both
glib-mkenums and gtk-doc behave consistently with each other, and
especially with the maintainer's intent of hiding some values from the
user, and reserving them for internal use.
So we should ensure that glib-mkenums automatically skips all the
enumeration values after a "private" flag has been set, until it reaches
a "public" stanza.

Given
typedef enum MyFoo MyFoo;
glib-mkenums would get confused, not notice the ";", and then keep
skipping lines until it found one that started with a "{", possibly
even going into the next file.
Fix it to just ignore those lines instead (and also, to error out if
it hits eof while parsing an enum).

Allow passing --identifier-prefix and --symbol-prefix to glib-mkenums,
with the same meanings as in g-ir-scanner, to allow fixing up the enum
name parsing globally rather than needing to add a /<* *>/ override to
each enum.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661797
Add a @valuenum@ substitution that outputs the integer value of a
particular enum value. The value is determined by using (sandboxed)
perl to evaluate C expression. If evaluation fails then glib-mkenums
dies loudly. Evaluation is only enabled if '@valuenum@' appears in the
template file, so existing users will not be affected.
Currently, specifying a comment template in the template file results in
the given template being appended to the default (C-style) one rather
than replacing it.
This causes it to be replaced outright.
Bug 617940.
Commit 789e260638 tried to add support for -?, but there is a typo
and instead -h was added when already present instead of -? for one
of the cases.
It works without this corrections, because all unrecognized options
trigger usage showing as well, but this is more correct.
This was bug 556706 originally.
Since @filename@ contains the full filename as given to the glib-mkenum
command, possibly including path elements (e.g. when using a non-srcdir
build), it is unsuitable to use in a #include statement in the generated
file if one wants to distribute it. This patch adds @basename@ which
expands to the base name of the input filename. Bug #587307.
