Rework error handling in the C preprocessor helper. Instead of monkey-
patching the cpp.Monitor.fail() method from within clinic.py, rewrite
cpp.py to use a subclass of the ClinicError exception. As a side-effect,
ClinicError is moved into Tools/clinic/libclinic/errors.py.
Yak-shaving in preparation for putting cpp.py into libclinic.
Move the following global helpers into libclinic:
- format_escape()
- normalize_snippet()
- wrap_declarations()
Also move strip_leading_and_trailing_blank_lines() and make it internal to libclinic.
Split up clinic.py by establishing libclinic as a support package for
Argument Clinic. Get rid of clinic.py globals by either making them
class members, or by putting them into libclinic.
- Move INCLUDE_COMMENT_COLUMN to BlockPrinter
- Move NO_VARARG to CLanguage
- Move formatting helpers to libclinic
- Move some constants to libclinic (and annotate them as Final)
