Group attributes

[ryuukk]

I wrote some native definitions that were missing:

Dl_info :: struct {
	dli_fname: cstring,
	dli_fbase: rawptr,
	dli_sname: cstring,
	dli_saddr: rawptr,
}

link_map :: struct {
	l_addr: uint,
	l_name: ^u8,
	l_ld:   rawptr,
	l_next: ^link_map,
	l_prev: ^link_map,
}

RTLD_DL_SYMENT :: 1
RTLD_DL_LINKMAP :: 2

@(default_calling_convention = "c")
foreign _ {
	sprintf :: proc "c" (buffer_: ^u8, format_: cstring, #c_vararg args: ..any) -> i32 ---
	popen :: proc(command: cstring, type: cstring) -> ^libc.FILE ---

	backtrace :: proc(buffer: ^uintptr, size: i32) -> i32 ---
	backtrace_symbols :: proc(buffer: ^uintptr, size: i32) -> [^]cstring ---
	backtrace_symbols_fd :: proc(buffer: ^uintptr, size: i32, fd: i32) ---
	readlink :: proc(pathname: cstring, buf: ^u8, bufsiz: uint) -> int ---
	dladdr1 :: proc(__address: uintptr, __info: ^Dl_info, __extra_info: ^rawptr, __flags: i32) -> i32 ---
}

I put it at the bottom of the module that uses it, and i'd like to make all that that private without making each symbol ugly with a repeated @(private) everywhere, same for "contextless

I could put that on a separate file, but that seems unnecessary

D allows you to do things like:

By using :

private:
@nogc:
extern(C):
__gshared:
// everything bellow that will have all the above attributes

It makes managing your stuff easier and cleaner

I would love to be able to do that with Odin, for private, contextless, similar to how it's done for foreign perhaps?

Do this:

@(default_calling_convention = "c", private)
foreign _ {
	sprintf :: proc "c" (buffer_: ^u8, format_: cstring, #c_vararg args: ..any) -> i32 ---
	popen :: proc(command: cstring, type: cstring) -> ^libc.FILE ---

	backtrace :: proc(buffer: ^uintptr, size: i32) -> i32 ---
	backtrace_symbols :: proc(buffer: ^uintptr, size: i32) -> [^]cstring ---
	backtrace_symbols_fd :: proc(buffer: ^uintptr, size: i32, fd: i32) ---
	readlink :: proc(pathname: cstring, buf: ^u8, bufsiz: uint) -> int ---
	dladdr1 :: proc(__address: uintptr, __info: ^Dl_info, __extra_info: ^rawptr, __flags: i32) -> i32 ---
}
