I understand. I'm trying to solve the inconsistency of being editing a document on split window but having the status bar showing something else (Should I open a issue to report this bug?). So, yes, you can take this as a request for the API :)
I haven't ever doxygened anything. But would it be enough for getting added it to the API just adding doxygen comments to it? I want to test that the function is suitable for the purpose I want it for, before sending a PR for getting it into the API.

Nothing is usually added to the API "just because" since it has to be maintained and supported and remain stable, and if the particular function is too deep in the implementation that may constrain later changes to Geany. Things are mostly added these days if a plugin has a need.
I guess we can take this as a request for the function to be added to the API :)
Maybe you can make a PR to speed the process. Note the need to doxygen document the function.

And why is not such function in the API? It's very used across all the
geany
code and there's no reason to think a plugin wouldn't ever want to use
it.
I want to display the document statistics of the document opened on split window when it gets the focus. ui_set_statusbar() let you display text
but
doesn't give you access to create_statusbar_statistics() neither to DEFAULT_STATUSBAR_TEMPLATE.

See the big warning message at the start of the plugins doco http://www.geany.org/manual/reference/ "Do not use any symbol not in the documentation".
On more recent versions of Geany the restriction on use of functions not in the API is better enforced to reduce the risk of accidental use. Functions not in the API never worked on Windows I believe, so a plugin that used non-API functions was not portable as well as possibly breaking without warning.
Can you not use

Hi!
I'm hacking split window plugin and I wanted to use the function ui_update_statusbar(), located in ui_utils.h
When I try to compile I get the following warning:
"warning: implicit declaration of function 'ui_update_statusbar' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]"
And if I try yo execute the bin generated it doesn't allow you to
enable
that plugin, it is never shown anymore.
The plugin includes geanyplugin.h which in turn includes ui_utils.h
Some help or hints?
