ffigen

• Added support for generating typedefs (referred typedefs only). <table> <tr> <td>Example C Code</td> <td>Generated Dart typedef</td> </tr> <tr> <td>

typedef struct A{
    ...
} TA, *PA;

TA func(PA ptr);

</td> <td>

class A extends ffi.Struct {...}
typedef TA = A;
typedef PA = ffi.Pointer<A>;
TA func(PA ptr){...}

</td> </tr> </table>

• All declarations that are excluded by the user are now only included if being used somewhere.
• Improved struct/union include/exclude. These declarations can now be targetted by their actual name, or if they are unnamed then by the name of the first typedef that refers to them.

• Users can now specify exact path to dynamic library in llvm-path.

• Added support for generating unions.

• Release for dart sdk >=2.13 (Support for packed structs and inline arrays).

• Added support for inline arrays in Structs.
• Remove config key array-workaround.
• Remove deprecated key llvm-lib from config, Use llvm-path instead.

• Added support for Packed structs. Packed annotations are generated automatically but can be overriden using structs -> pack config.
• Updated sdk constraints to >=2.13.0-211.6.beta.

• Fix issues due to declarations having duplicate names.
• Fix name conflict of declaration with ffi library prefix.
• Fix char not being recognized on platforms where it's unsigned by default.

• Added /usr/lib to default dynamic library location for linux.

• Added new config key llvm-path that accepts a list of path/to/llvm.
• Deprecated config key llvm-lib.

• Added config key compiler-opts-automatic -> macos -> include-c-standard-library (default: true) to automatically find and add C standard library on macOS.
• Allow passing list of string to config key compiler-opts.

• Added new command line flag --compiler-opts to the command line tool.

• Fix sort: true not working.
• Fix extra // or /// in comments when using comments -> style: full.

• Added new subkey dependency-only (options - full (default) | opaque) under structs. When set to opaque, FFIgen will generate empty Opaque structs if structs were excluded in config (i.e added because they were a dependency) and only passed by reference(pointer).

• Fixed generation of empty opaque structs due to forward declarations in header files.

• Fixed generation of duplicate constants suffixed with _<int> when using multiple entry points.

• Add ProtocolExtension.setupLogger, which the hooks runner calls to provide
  the logger used for validation diagnostics before any other method is invoked
  on the extension.
• Fix HookInputUserDefines.path mangling absolute Windows paths: the drive
  letter was parsed as a URI scheme. Absolute paths are now returned as-is;
  relative paths are resolved against the source of the path.
• Add HookInputUserDefines.baseUri, which can be used to resolve paths
  from nested user-defined options.

• Added Architecture.arm64e.

• Ignore typedef to struct pointer when possible.
• Recursively create directories for output file.

• Fixed illegal use of const in name, crash due to unnamed inline structs and structs having Opaque members.

• Switch to preview release of package:quiver.

• Validate bundled dynamic libraries by reading their header: when the file is
  a recognized ELF, Mach-O, or PE binary, check that it was built for the
  target architecture. Reject multi-architecture Mach-O output because hooks
  run once per target architecture. A file the built-in validators do not
  recognize, or a recognized library built for an architecture they do not
  know, warns on the supplied logger instead of failing.
• Bump the dependency on package:hooks to ^2.2.0.
• Breaking change: Overrode == and hashCode in OS, Architecture, and Sanitizer to support custom targets. These objects can no longer be used as keys of const maps and sets.
  • Migration: Use final (runtime) maps and sets instead of const, or use the string representations (e.g., OS.name, Architecture.name) as keys if const is required.
• Support custom target OS, architecture, and santizer in protocol extension.

• Removed the need for --no-sound-null-safety flag.

• Migrated to (unsound) null safety.

• Functions marked inline are now skipped.

• Use Opaque for representing empty Structs.

• Add support for parsing and generating globals.

• Removed the usage of --no-sound-null-safety flag.

• Removed setup phase for FFIgen. Added new optional config key llvm-lib to specify path to llvm/lib folder.

• Added support for passing and returning struct by value in functions.

• Added support for Nested structs.

• Added support for Dart_Handle from dart_api.h.

• Added Recordings.+ to combine two recordings.

• Fixed missing typedefs nested in another typedef's return types.

• Fixed issues with generating macros of type double.Infinity and double.NaN.

• Update Groovy Gradle property assignments to silence a warning.
• Documentation updates.

• Fix JNI build errors on Linux arm64.

• Revert an unnecessary (and breaking) KGP migration.

• The YAML configuration format is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
• Report an empty entry under classes in the config file as a config error
  instead of failing with a type error.
• Generate links to method-specific Javadocs for Maven dependencies when
  source Javadocs are unavailable.

• Bump version to 1.0.0.
• Handle unimplememnted function pointers causing errors.
• Log lexical/semantic issues in headers as SEVERE.

• Fix extensions of nested types to use fully qualified generated wrapper names.

• Added support for C booleans as Uint8.
• Added config dart-bool (default: true) to use dart bool instead of int in function parameters and return type.

• Minor changes to dylib creation error log.

• Fixed parsing structs with bitfields, all members of structs with bit field members will now be removed. See #84

• Fixed missing typedefs of nested function pointers.

• Handle code formatting using dartfmt by finding dart-sdk.

• Wrapper dynamic library version now uses FFIgen version from its pubspec.yaml file.

• Fixed multiple generation/skipping of typedef enclosed declarations.
• Typedef names are now given higher preference over inner names, See #83.

• Updated package:meta version to ^1.1.8 for compatibility with flutter sdk.

• Fixed missing/duplicate typedef generation.

• Added FAQ to readme.

• Bump ffigen and swift2objc versions.

• Added support for parsing macros and anonymous unnamed enums. These are generated as top level constants.

• Comments config now has a style and length sub keys - style: doxygen(default) | any, length: brief | full(default), and can be disabled by passing comments: false.

• Handled function arguments - dart keyword name collision
• Fix travis tests: the dynamic library is created using pub run ffigen:setup before running the tests.

• Fixed wrapper not found error when running pub run ffigen.

• Address pub score: follow dart File conventions, provide documentation, and pass static analysis.

• Support for Functions, Structs and Enums.
• Glob support for specifying headers.
• HeaderFilter - Include/Exclude declarations from specific header files using name matching.
• Filters - Include/Exclude function, structs and enum declarations using Regexp or Name matching.
• Prefixing - function, structs and enums can have a global prefix. Individual prefix Replacement support using Regexp.
• Comment extraction: full/brief/none
• Support for fixed size arrays in struct. array-workaround (if enabled) will generate helpers for accessing fixed size arrays in structs.
• Size for ints can be specified using size-map in config.
• Options to disable using supported typedefs (e.g uint8_t => Uint8), sort bindings.
• Option to add a raw preamble which is included as is in the generated file.
