fn is_name_char(c u8) bool

fn join_env_vflags_and_os_args() []string

fn launch_tool(is_verbose bool, tool_name string, args []string)

launch_tool - starts a V tool in a separate process, passing it the args. All V tools are located in the cmd/tools folder, in files or folders prefixed by the letter v, followed by the tool name, i.e. cmd/tools/vdoc/ or cmd/tools/vpm.v. The folder variant is suitable for larger and more complex tools, like v doc, because it provides you the ability to split their source in separate .v files, organized by topic, as well as have resources like static css/text/js files, that the tools can use. launch_tool uses a timestamp based detection mechanism, so that after v self, each tool will be recompiled too, before it is used, which guarantees that it would be up to date with V itself. That mechanism can be disabled by package managers by creating/touching a small cmd/tools/.disable_autorecompilation file, OR by changing the timestamps of all executables in cmd/tools to be < 1024 seconds (in unix time).

fn module_is_builtin(mod string) bool

fn new_error_manager() &EManager

fn new_suggestion(wanted string, possibilities []string) Suggestion

fn new_timers(params TimerParams) &Timers

fn no_cur_mod(typename string, cur_mod string) string

no_cur_mod - removes cur_mod. prefix from typename, but only when it is at the start, i.e.: no_cur_mod('vproto.Abdcdef', 'proto') == 'vproto.Abdcdef' even though proto. is a substring

fn no_dots(s string) string

fn path_of_executable(path string) string

fn path_styled_for_error_messages(path string) string

path_styled_for_error_messages converts the given file path, into one suitable for displaying in error messages, produced by the V compiler.

When the file path is prefixed by the working folder, usually that means, that the resulting path, will be relative to the current working folder. Relative paths are shorter and stabler, because they only depend on the project, and not on the parent folders. If the current working folder of the compiler is NOT a prefix of the given path, then this function will return an absolute path instead. Absolute paths are longer, and also platform/user dependent, but they have the advantage of being more easily processible by tools on the same machine.

The V user can opt out of that relativisation, by setting the environment variable VERROR_PATHS, to absolute. That is useful for starting the V compiler from an IDE or another program, where the concept of a "current working folder", is not as clear as working manually with the compiler in a shell. By setting VERROR_PATHS=absolute, the IDE/editor can ensure, that the produced error messages will have file locations that are easy to find and jump to locally.

Note: path_styled_for_error_messages will always use / in the error paths, no matter the OS,to ensure stable compiler error output in the tests.

fn prepare_tool_when_needed(source_name string)

fn qualify_import(pref_ &pref.Preferences, mod string, file_path string) string

2022-01-30 qualify_import - used by V's parser, to find the full module name of import statements 2022-01-30 i.e. when parsing import automaton inside a .v file in examples/game_of_life/life_gg.v 2022-01-30 it returns just 'automaton' 2022-01-30 TODO: this seems to always just return mod itself, for modules inside the V main folder. 2022-01-30 It does also return mod itself, for stuff installed in ~/.vmodules like vls but for 2022-01-30 other reasons (see res 2 below).

fn qualify_module(pref_ &pref.Preferences, mod string, file_path string) string

2022-01-30 qualify_module - used by V's parser to find the full module name 2022-01-30 i.e. when parsing module textscanner, inside vlib/strings/textscanner/textscanner.v 2022-01-30 it will return strings.textscanner

fn replace_op(s string) string

fn resolve_env_value(str string, check_for_presence bool) !string

fn resolve_vmodroot(str string, dir string) !string

fn set_source_for_path(path string, source string) []string

set_source_for_path should be called for every file, over which you want to use util.formatted_error

fn set_vroot_folder(vroot_path string)

fn short_module_name(name string) string

short_module_name returns a shortened version of the fully qualified name, i.e. xyz.def.abc.symname -> abc.symname

fn should_bundle_module(mod string) bool

fn should_recompile_tool(vexe string, tool_source string, tool_name string, tool_exe string) bool

Note: should_recompile_tool/4 compares unix timestamps that have 1 second resolutionThat means that a tool can get recompiled twice, if called in short succession.

Todo: use a nanosecond mtime timestamp, if available.

fn (mut s Suggestion) add(val string)

add adds the val to the list of known possibilities of the suggestion. It calculates the similarity metric towards the wanted value.

fn (mut s Suggestion) add_many(many []string)

add adds all of the many to the list of known possibilities of the suggestion

fn (e &EManager) set_support_color(b bool)

struct Surrounder {
mut:
	befores []string
	afters  []string
}

Surrounder is an utility to help you manage a stack of additions, that should be done both before and after a given piece of generated code, in a synchronised way. It does so by forcing you to put the creation/destruction samples next to each other, so that it is easier to keep them in sync and spot errors.

Note: Surrounder writes the creation samples (befores) in the same order they were added, and the destruction samples (afters) in reverse order.

Usage:

mut sr := new_surrounder(2) // just a rough initial guess; it can grow sr.add('string tmp1 = ...;', 'string_free(&tmp1);') sr.add('string tmp2 = ...;', 'string_free(&tmp2);') .. sr.builder_write_befores(mut some_string_builder) some_string_builder.writeln('MIDDLE_that_uses_tmp1_and_tmp2') sr.builder_write_afters(mut some_string_builder)

... will produce this in some_string_builder:

string tmp1 = ...; string tmp2 = ...; MIDDLE_that_uses_tmp1_and_tmp2 string_free(&tmp2); string_free(&tmp1);

fn (mut s Surrounder) add(before string, after string)

add appends a before/after pair to the surrounder When you call .after() or .builder_write_afters(), all before parts will be in order, while all after parts, will be in reverse order.

fn (s &Surrounder) before() string

before returns all the before parts that were accumulated so far

after returns all the after parts that were accumulated so far, in reverse order of their addition.

fn (s &Surrounder) builder_write_befores(mut sb strings.Builder)

fn (s &Surrounder) builder_write_afters(mut sb strings.Builder)

builder_write_afters writeln-es all the after parts into the given string builder sb. They will be written there in reverse order, compared to how/when they were added.

fn (mut s Surrounder) free()

free frees the private resources associated with the surrounder instance Called automatically by -autofree, or in [manualfree] tagged functions.
