The plugins can not change any Geany source files, if that's what you
are asking. To compile a plugin, only the header files of Geany and
geany.pc are required - the sources may not even exist.

It'll not be acceptable to the users, of course, because they will need
to recompile Geany for your plugin to work.

You should try to move all functionality from the core files into your
plugin.
