This is a breaking change.
This commit applies the following rules to std.os.uefi:
* avoid redundant names in the namespace such as "protocol.FooProtocol"
* don't initialize struct field to undefined. do that at the
initialization site if you want that, or create a named constant that
sets all the fields to undefined.
* avoid the word "data", "info", "context", "state", "details", or
"config" in the type name, especially if a word from that category is
already in the type name.
* embrace tree structure
After following these rules, `usingnamespace` disappeared naturally.
This commit eliminates 26/53 (49%) instances of `usingnamespace` in the
standard library. All these uses were due to not understanding how
to properly use namespaces.
I did not test this commit. The standard library UEFI code is
experimental and pull requests have been accepted with minimal vetting.
Users of std.os.uefi will need to submit follow-up pull requests to fix
up whatever regressions this commit introduces, this time without
abusing namespaces (pun intended).
I tested this and this definitely compiles and these
changes were done programmatically but if there's still anything wrong
it shouldn't be hard to fix.
With this change it's going to be very easy to make further adjustments
to the calling conventions of all these external UEFI functions.
Closes#16309
There are still a few occurrences of "stage1" in the standard library
and self-hosted compiler source, however, these instances need a bit
more careful inspection to ensure no breakage.
We already have a LICENSE file that covers the Zig Standard Library. We
no longer need to remind everyone that the license is MIT in every single
file.
Previously this was introduced to clarify the situation for a fork of
Zig that made Zig's LICENSE file harder to find, and replaced it with
their own license that required annual payments to their company.
However that fork now appears to be dead. So there is no need to
reinforce the copyright notice in every single file.
