This is the second of two big changes to clean up includes throughout
the project. Since I've started using clangd with Neovim and using
VSCode's intellisense, my former strategy of copying all header files
into place in `build/include` means that the real files don't show up in
`compile_commands.json` and so display many include errors when viewing
those header files in those tools.
That setup was mostly predicated on a desire to keep directory depths
small, but really I don't think paths like `src/libraries/j6/j6` are
much better than `src/libraries/j6/include/j6`, and the latter doesn't
have the aforementioned issues, and is clearer to the casual observer as
well.
Some additional changes:
- Added a new module flag `copy_headers` for behavior similar to the old
style, but placing headers in `$module_dir/include` instead of the
global `build/include`. This was needed for external projects that
don't follow the same source/headers folder structure - in this case,
`zstd`.
- There is no longer an associated `headers.*.ninja` for each
`module.*.ninja` file, as only parsed headers need to be listed; this
functionality has been moved back into the module's ninja file.
The great header shift: It didn't make sense to regenerate headers for
the same module for every target (boot/kernel/user) it appeared in. And
now that core headers are out of src/include, this was going to cause
problems for the new libc changes I've been working on. So I went back
to re-design how module headers work.
Pre-requisites:
- A module's public headers should all be available in one location, not
tied to target.
- No accidental includes. Another module should not be able to include
anything (creating an implicit dependency) from a module without
declaring an explicit dependency.
- Exception to the previous: libc's headers should be available to all,
at least for the freestanding headers.
New system:
- A new "public_headers" property of module declares all public headers
that should be available to dependant modules
- All public headers (after possible processing) are installed relative
to build/include/<module> with the same path as their source
- This also means no "include" dir in modules is necessary. If a header
should be included as <j6/types.h> then its source should be
src/libraries/j6/j6/types.h - this caused the most churn as all public
header sources moved one directory up.
- The "includes" property of a module is local only to that module now,
it does not create any implicit public interface
Other changes:
- The bonnibel concept of sources changed: instead of sources having
actions, they themselves are an instance of a (sub)class of Source,
which provides all the necessary information itself.
- Along with the above, rule names were standardized into <type>.<ext>,
eg "compile.cpp" or "parse.cog"
- cog and cogflags variables moved from per-target scope to global scope
in the build files.
- libc gained a more dynamic .module file
