*	generator: Rename 'generator_' as ''.	Richard W.M. Jones	2012-09-02	1	-12/+12
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	This is a simple renaming of the files/modules. Note that in OCaml, module names are derived from filenames by capitalizing the first letter. Thus the old module names had the form "Generator_api_versions". The new modules names have the form "Api_versions".
*	generator: Allow non-optargs functions to gain optargs.	Richard W.M. Jones	2012-07-14	1	-0/+4
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	This commit adds a flag (once_had_no_optargs) which can be used to add optargs to functions that currently don't have any. The idea is that if 'func' currently has no optargs, we can safely add optargs provided we are backwards compatible for existing callers. In C that means we leave 'guestfs_func' alone and provide an extra function 'guestfs_func_opts' that takes the optargs ('guestfs_func' becomes a wrapper that calls 'guestfs_func_opts'). In the C generator this means there are two names for each function (although the two names are normally identical). 'c_name' is the name that we export publicly (eg. [guestfs_] 'func_opts'). 'name' is the internal name of the function (eg. 'func') which is used for everything apart from the public interface, and also to generate the no-optargs compat function. In other languages that can add optional arguments safely, we simply add the arguments to the existing 'func', so for example in Perl: $g->func (required_args) $g->func (required_args, optional_args) can be used. Note that this commit does not cause any change to the output of the generator. I verified this by diffing the output before and after.
*	generator: Add a note in generator/README about safely extending functions.	Richard W.M. Jones	2012-07-11	1	-0/+9

*	Split generator into separate source files.	Richard Jones	2010-09-11	1	-0/+34
	'src/generator.ml' is no more. Instead the generator is logically split up over many different source files. Read generator/README for help and tips. We compile the generator down to bytecode, not native code. This means it will run more slowly, but is done for maximum portability.
