There are a number of tweaks to get this to work:
- The #include dependence graph wasn't quite complete, and I had to add
a few #includes to get the tool to work.
- I had to change a number of symbol names to avoid conflicts between
'static' definitions in different .c files. This could be avoided if
the tool were smart enough to rename static symbols to have unique
prefixes instead, but (i) this requires semantic understanding of C,
and (ii) the macro-defined static functions (e.g., handlers for
primitive types in several places) would probably trip this up.
Verified that the resulting upb.h/upb.c compiles and doesn't have any
unresolved references.
Includes are now via upb/foo.h.
Files specific to the protobuf format are
now in upb/pb (the core library is concerned
with message definitions, handlers, and
byte streams, but knows nothing about any
particular serializationf format).
This doesn't reflect any material change in
how I will be working on upb, and I have no
problem making this change. It's still open
source under the BSD license, and I'll still
be working on it well beyond the hours that
constitute a normal job.
