* To benefit from the precompiled-header (PCH) it MUST provide "the first C token."
Advantages:
Never worry about the include stack again. Remember, this means one less thing
for random module developers, community people learning C++, and new developers
to deal with. It should reduce the learning curve and barrier for participation.
Disadvantages:
Makes overall compilation a bit slower, especially without any additional
work to improve it again. There are several opportunities, places where the
PCH is probably being ignored, etc that can be addressed.
* librb is no longer a separately configured subproject.
* charybdis is now a standalone directory with a binary.
* Include path layout now requires a directory ircd/ rb/ etc.
This version leverages a flexible, cleaner key-value strategy
reducing the need to design entire new headers for every feature
addition, change, etc.
* A friendly declaration for the module authors, with minimal
requirements to fill in, and explicit labels of what the fields are.
* Repetition of keys, removing references to (and the requirement to
build) a clist, hlist and hfnlist and caplist and whatever the future
holds.
* Safe deterministic loading and unloading. Keys are evaluated in
order, errors can be recognized, and unloading occurs in reverse
order.
ircd: Refactor internal half of modules.c, with some V3 additions.
Provides better delegation for versions, a cleaner stack with better
error handling, and some functionality deduping. V1 and V2 handlers
are still somewhat unaltered, just factored in.
channel mode classification which is required by RPL_MYINFO indicating arity,
and RPL_ISUPPORT indicating an enumerated class. The content of these replies
had previously been generated by hardcoded strings of some letters.
Channel modes require classification which corresponds to the
CHANMODES= data in RPL_ISUPPORT. Classes A,B,C can then be
listed in the unary column of RPL_MYINFO. cflag_add() is updated
for this. Additional cleanup of chmode.h and channel.h
circularity is also proffered within.
