Binding generation is broken with haxe 4.3.3

[Michael Bickel]

$ haxelib run hxgodot generate_bindings -y
HxGodot (1.0.0-beta)
Generating Godot 4 Haxe bindings...
Generating binding classes for Godot Engine v4.2.beta.custom_build (float_64)...

For me it fails with:

What's notable is that I don't even have progg user (C:\Users\progg), and the installed haxe version is 4.3.3, not 4.2.5 as printed in logs.

Hi there,

Yes, that's the same error. I will soon look into this.

Btw, these absolute paths are compiled into the neko script from my build machine.

I recompiled the CLI (which is localized on tools/run/) the problem with the hardcoded windows path from the dev's computer was solved, I don't know if it's because of '-D neko-v1' on compile.hxml although I am also interested on knowing why this define is there out of curiosity.

But the same problem that the dev opened the issue about still persists as seen above (my Linux Mint machine).

From what I have seen, the roots of the issue is around here:
https://github.com/HxGodot/hxgodot/blob/main/src/godot/macros/ClassGenMacros.hx

since generate_bindings calls the haxe compiler to use a macro function named api() coming from this class.

I believe the misplaced ';' is from the macro functions written in this class (and since I am new to haxe macros I can't tell)

@TheHENOOB @alexeychikk Haxe 4.3.3 works and the bindings generate successfully, now.
