When I initially released this project, I released it under my own copyright. I
have since then worked on it in my 20% time at Google (and want to continue
doing this) and my life becomes much simpler if the copyright is Google's.
From the perspective of how this project is run and managed, **NOTHING**
changes. YCM is not a Google product, merely a project run by someone who just
happens to work for Google.
Please note that the license of the project is **NOT** changing.
People sending in future pull requests will have to sign the Google
[CLA](https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual) (you can sign
online at the bottom of that page) before those pull requests could be merged
in. People who sent in pull requests that were merged in the past will get an
email from me asking them to sign the CLA as well.
Previously, we'd implicitly turn off future notices about unknown extra conf
files if we already raised one exception about it. This breaks when the user
ends up not receiving the "unknown extra conf, load?" message.
Now we only turn off the notice as a result of the user saying "don't load this"
so that if the first request fails to reach them, they'll get a second (and
third etc) request about it.
Fixes#615
We don't want to send a unicode string to the user's ycm_extra_conf.py file.
This should fix problems with sending the filename to YCM's CompilationDatabase
API.
Now, every FileReadyToParse event returns diagnostics, if any. This is instead
of the previous system where the diagnostics were being fetched in a different
request (this caused race conditions).
There appear to be timing issues for the diag requests. Somehow, we're sending
out-of-date diagnostics and then not updating the UI when things change.
That needs to be fixed.
The server is multi-threaded and will spawn a new thread for each new request.
Thus, the completers need not manage their own threads or even provide async
APIs; we _want_ them to block because now were implementing the request-response
networking API.
The client gets the async API through the network (i.e., it can do something
else while the request is pending).
This is still fast & efficient because if we detect that the buffer hasn't been
changed (by examining b:changedtick), the parse doesn't proceed.
In effect, we now make sure we parse the file after every change to the buffer
as soon as that change happens. This means that compilation error feedback will
now be much, MUCH quicker.
Depending on the user, the PrepareClangFlags rewrite of a few commits ago could
break users with an extra "clang: 'linker' input not used" (or similar) error
message because the compiler executable string was not removed from flags
upstream if the user prepended some flags to the output of PrepareClangFlags
before returning it to the caller of FlagsForFile.
Since the rewrite was supposed to be backwards compatible, this needs
to be handled.
It was possible to get a traceback if results[ 'flags' ] was a StringVec; the
code would try to perform results[ 'flags' ] += self.special_clang_flags and
this would then fail because the clang flags would be a Python list.
