vendor/raylib has no C in it any more: shim.c is deleted and its 84 wrappers
are emitted from declare-c, which names the library's function in the library's
own signature. The reason the shim exists is unchanged - a small struct's
calling convention is a per-target classification and clang reproduces it for
free - but writing it by hand has stopped.
declare-c is a second form rather than a change to declare, because the two make
opposite claims about the same shape: (declare start-raw [path string] ...) says
the symbol takes ptr+len, and (declare-c init-window [... title string] ...)
says it takes a NUL-terminated char*. No structural rule separates them, so the
author says which.
The merge needed two fixes that neither lane could have found alone.
Load's uses-walker matches decl_kind exhaustively and did not know DeclareC, so
the reachability work and the generator did not compile together.
And the generated C is now emitted in parts keyed by the wrapper's own C symbol,
not as one translation unit. Reach.link drops the bindings nothing reachable
calls; a single TU holding every wrapper referenced every raylib symbol, so
sand-headless - which deliberately links no libraylib, and is the reason Reach
exists - failed at the link with undefined references to GetTime and its
neighbours. The first attempt keyed the parts by Flan name and broke the other
way, dropping a wrapper that was called: the flattened declaration is named
foo-c when a Flan wrapper is generated over it and foo when none is needed, so
the Flan name is not one thing. The wrapper's C symbol is what the declaration
binds in both branches.
Worth recording how close that came to passing: the acceptance suite died with
an exception rather than printing FAIL, so a grep for failures counted zero and
the suite looked green. Only the count of reporting suites - ten where there had
been eleven - showed it.
