* input: export input.conf comments ot input-bindings propertywm42019-11-231-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is supposed to turn input.conf comments into inline documentation. Whether this will be useful depends on whether there'll be a script using this field. This changes a small aspect of input.conf parsing fundamentally: this attempts to strip comments/whitespace from the command string, which will later be used to generate the command when a key binding is executed. This should not have any negative effects, but there could be unknown bugs. (For some reason, every command is parsed when input.conf is parsed, but it still only stores the string for the command. I guess that saves some minor amount of memory.)
* input: change mp_cmd.original from bstr to cstrwm42019-11-231-3/+4
| | | | | | | | No reason to have this as bstr, just makes everything more complex. Also clear mp_cmd.sender when it's copied. Otherwise it would be a dangling pointer. Apparently it's never set to non-NULL in this situation, but this is cleaner anyway.
* input: add text produced by key to script key eventswm42019-11-221-0/+1
| | | | | | | Particularly for "any_unicode" mappings, so they don't have to special-case keys like '#' and ' ', which are normally mapped to symbolic names for input.conf reasons. (Though admittedly, this is a pretty minor thing, since API users could map these manually.)
* input: remove now unused "abort command" and cancel infrastructurewm42018-05-241-28/+0
| | | | The previous commit removed all uses.
* input: slightly improve --input-cmdlist outputwm42018-05-241-5/+6
| | | | | Output argument names, whether varargs are used, and indicate optional arguments correctly (instead of only half of them).
* command: give named arguments to almost all commandswm42018-05-241-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this change, only 1 command or so had named arguments. There is no reason why other commands can't have them, except that it's a bit of work to add them. Commands with variable number of arguments are inherently incompatible to named arguments, such as the "run" command. They still have dummy names, but obviously you can't assign multiple values to a single named argument (unless the argument has an array type, which would be something different). For now, disallow using named argument APIs with these commands. This might change later. 2 commands are adjusted to not need a separate default value by changing flag constants. (The numeric values are C only and can't be set by users.) Make the command syntax in the manpage more consistent. Now none of the allowed choice/flag names are in the command header, and all arguments are shown with their proper name and quoted with <...>. Some places in the manpage and the client.h doxygen are updated to reflect that most commands support named arguments. In addition, try to improve the documentation of the syntax and need for escaping etc. as well. (Or actually most uses of the word "argument" should be "parameter".)
* input: add glue code for named argumentswm42018-05-241-42/+143
| | | | | | | | | | Named arguments should make it easier to have long time compatibility, even if command arguments get added or removed. They're also much nicer for commands with a large number of arguments, especially if many arguments are optional. As of this commit, this can not be used, because there is no command yet which supports them. See the following commit.
* command: add infrastructure for async commandswm42018-05-241-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This enables two types of command behavior: 1. Plain async behavior, like "loadfile" not completing until the file is fully loaded. 2. Running parts of the command on worker threads, e.g. for I/O, such as "sub-add" doing network accesses on a thread while the core continues. Both have no implementation yet, and most new code is actually inactive. The plan is to implement a number of useful cases in the following commits. The most tricky part is handling internal keybindings (input.conf) and the multi-command feature (concatenating commands with ";"). It requires a bunch of roundabout code to make it do the expected thing in combination with async commands. There is the question how commands should be handled that come in at a higher rate than what can be handled by the core. Currently, it will simply queue up input.conf commands as long as memory lasts. The client API is limited by the size of the reply queue per client. For commands which require a worker thread, the thread pool is limited to 30 threads, and then will queue up work in memory. The number is completely arbitrary.
* command: handle list commands like normal commandswm42018-05-241-4/+0
| | | | Pretty annoying.
* input: rename weirdly named functionwm42018-05-031-1/+1

* input: merge cmd_list.c with cmd.cwm42018-05-031-1/+55
| | | | | | It doesn't really make sense to keep a separate cmd_list.c file, which does _not_ contain a command list, but only a few minor helper functions.
* input: rename cmd_parse.c to cmd.cwm42018-05-031-0/+473
Done separately from the cmd.h rename to avoid issues with git being bad at tracking mixed content and filename changes.
