//! Write hexchat plugins in Rust!
//!
//! This library provides safe API bindings for hexchat, but doesn't attempt to fix hexchat's own
//! bugs. It makes no effort to stop you from unloading your own code while it's still running, for
//! example.
//!
//! When using this library, it's strongly recommended to avoid heap-allocated statics (static
//! mutexes, lazy_static, etc). This is because it's currently impossible to deallocate those on
//! plugin unload. This can be worked around by placing those statics as fields in your plugin
//! struct.
//!
//! This caveat does not apply to static assets (`static FOO: &'static str`, for example), but it
//! does apply to thread-local storage.
//! 
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```
//! #[macro_use]
//! extern crate hexchat_plugin;
//!
//! use std::sync::Mutex;
//! use hexchat_plugin::{Plugin, PluginHandle, CommandHookHandle};
//!
//! #[derive(Default)]
//! struct MyPlugin {
//!     cmd: Mutex<Option<CommandHookHandle>>
//! }
//!
//! impl Plugin for MyPlugin {
//!     fn init(&self, ph: &mut PluginHandle, arg: Option<&str>) -> bool {
//!         ph.register("myplugin", "0.1.0", "my simple plugin");
//!         *self.cmd.lock().unwrap() = Some(ph.hook_command("hello-world", |ph, arg, arg_eol| {
//!             ph.print("Hello, World!");
//!             hexchat_plugin::EAT_ALL
//!         }, hexchat_plugin::PRI_NORM, Some("prints 'Hello, World!'")));
//!         true
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! hexchat_plugin!(MyPlugin);
//!
//! # fn main() { } // satisfy the compiler, we can't actually run the code
//! ```

/*
 * Some info about how HexChat does things:
 *
 * All strings passed across the C API are UTF-8.
 * - Except `hexchat_get_info(ph, "libdirfs")`, so we need to be careful with that one.
 *
 * The pointers `name: *mut *const char, desc: *mut *const char, vers: *mut *const char` point to
 * inside the ph - that is, they're aliased. Thus, we must never convert a ph to an & or &mut
 * except as part of retrieving or setting values in it (e.g. `(*ph).hexchat_get_info` or
 * `(*ph).userdata = value`).
 *
 * `hexchat_plugin_get_info` is never used, so we omit it. It would be impractical not to.
 *
 * These cause UB:
 * `hexchat_command` may invalidate the plugin context.
 * `hexchat_find_context` and `hexchat_nickcmp` use the plugin context without checking it.
 * `hexchat_get_prefs` uses the plugin context if name == "state_cursor" or "id" (or anything with
 * the same hash).
 * `hexchat_list_get` uses the plugin context if name == "notify" (or anything with the same hash).
 * `hexchat_list_str`, `hexchat_list_int`, 
 * `hexchat_emit_print`, `hexchat_emit_print_attrs` use the plugin context.
 * `hexchat_send_modes` uses the plugin context.
 * We need to wrap them (or, alternatively, hexchat_command). However, there's no (safe) way to get
 * a valid context afterwards.
 * - Actually that's a lie. Hexchat does a trick to give you a context as part of the channel list.
 *     We can use that to our advantage. I'm not sure if it's better to wrap hexchat_command or the
 *     other functions, tho.
 *     (Do we want to walk a linked list every time we use hexchat_command? I'd think
 *     hexchat_command is the most used API function... Plus, emit_print could indirectly
 *     invalidate the context as well.)
 *
 * `hexchat_send_modes` should only be used with channels; however, it doesn't cause UB - it just
 * doesn't work.
 *
 * `hexchat_pluginpref_get_int`, `hexchat_pluginpref_get_str`, `hexchat_pluginpref_set_int`,
 * `hexchat_pluginpref_set_str` cannot be used while `name`, `desc`, `vers` are null.
 *
 * `hexchat_plugin_init` receives an arg string. it may be null. this isn't documented anywhere.
 */

/*
 * Some info about how we do things:
 *
 * DO NOT CALL printf/commandf/etc FAMILY OF FUNCTIONS. You can't avoid allocations, so just
 * allocate some CStrings on the Rust side. It has the exact same effect, since those functions
 * allocate internally anyway.

 * `hexchat_list_get` uses the plugin context if name == "notify" (or anything with the same hash).
 * `hexchat_list_str`, `hexchat_list_int`, 
 * `hexchat_emit_print`, `hexchat_emit_print_attrs` use the plugin context.
 * `hexchat_send_modes` uses the plugin context.
 * We need to wrap them (or, alternatively, hexchat_command). However, there's no (safe) way to get
 * a valid context afterwards.
 * - Actually that's a lie. Hexchat does a trick to give you a context as part of the channel list.
 *     We can use that to our advantage. I'm not sure if it's better to wrap hexchat_command or the
 *     other functions, tho.
 *     (Do we want to walk a linked list every time we use hexchat_command? I'd think
 *     hexchat_command is the most used API function... Plus, emit_print could indirectly
 *     invalidate the context as well.)
 *
 * For performance we put them behind an EnsureValidContext - things that don't invalidate the
 * context take an `&mut self`, things that do take an `self`.
