The purpose of this is to allow overriding to_dbus_fcn and from_dbus_fcn when
necessary (such as for special behavior regarding a deprecated/aliased properties).
Unfortunately, there are several possibilities how to handle NULL and
empty arrays. Therefore we have different variants.
Clean this up, and add a way to preserve whether the array is empty
(previous variants could not distinguish that).
Functions are also renamed, so that if you backport a user of the new
API, you'll get a compiler error if this patch is missing.
Also, nm_strvarray_get_strv_notnull() no longer takes a pointer to a
"GArray*". Previously, it used that to fake an empty strv array. Now
this returns NM_STRV_EMPTY_CC().
We have many properties, and we aim that they have a small set of
"types". The purpose is that we can treat similar properties (with the
same type) alike.
One type are "direct" strv properties. Those still require some
C functions, like get-length(), clear(), add(), get-at-index().
The implementation of those functions should also be similar, so that
strv properties behave similar.
For that, make use of helper functions, so that little duplicate logic
is there.
Use some new nm_strvarray_*() functions, and unify/cleanup some code.
All related to strv properties in NMSetting classes.
Direct properties are automatically cleaned up by the base class
(_finalize_direct()). No need to duplicate that. The point of
the direct property implementation is to free us from this repeated
cumbersome steps (and forgetting this step without a direct property
would not be only unnecessary, but erroneous).
Make use of direct strv property in some cases. It doesn't work for
other cases yet, because they are implemented differently, and porting
them is more effort and needs to be done one by one.
The goal is to have a unified, standard implementation for our
properties. One that requires a minimal amount of property-specific
code. For strv properties, that is a bit more cumbersome, because
usually there are multiple C accessor functions. Still, make an effort
to have a "direct" strv property.
What this also gives, is that we no longer need to clone the strv array
for various operations. We know how to access the data, and can do it
directly without g_object_get()/g_object_set().
G_TYPE_STRV is the last property type in NMSetting that is implemented
by directly accessing the GObect property. Note that we have lots of
override, non-default implementations that still use GObject properties,
but I am talking here about properties that don't have a special
implementation and use a G_TYPE_STRV GObject property.
Add a "direct" implementation also for strv arrays.
The advantage is that we no longer call g_value_get() for various
operations, which requires a deep-copy of the strv array. The other
advantage is that we will get a unified approach for implementing strv
properties. In particular strv arrays need a lot of code to implement,
and most settings do it differently. By adding a general mechanism,
this code (and behavior) can be unified.
Showcase it on "match.interface-name".
We use clang-format for automatic formatting of our source files.
Since clang-format is actively maintained software, the actual
formatting depends on the used version of clang-format. That is
unfortunate and painful, but really unavoidable unless clang-format
would be strictly bug-compatible.
So the version that we must use is from the current Fedora release, which
is also tested by our gitlab-ci. Previously, we were using Fedora 34 with
clang-tools-extra-12.0.1-1.fc34.x86_64.
As Fedora 35 comes along, we need to update our formatting as Fedora 35
comes with version "13.0.0~rc1-1.fc35".
An alternative would be to freeze on version 12, but that has different
problems (like, it's cumbersome to rebuild clang 12 on Fedora 35 and it
would be cumbersome for our developers which are on Fedora 35 to use a
clang that they cannot easily install).
The (differently painful) solution is to reformat from time to time, as we
switch to a new Fedora (and thus clang) version.
Usually we would expect that such a reformatting brings minor changes.
But this time, the changes are huge. That is mentioned in the release
notes [1] as
Makes PointerAligment: Right working with AlignConsecutiveDeclarations. (Fixes https://llvm.org/PR27353)
[1] https://releases.llvm.org/13.0.0/tools/clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.html#clang-format
NMSetting instances either have no private data, they use
g_type_add_class_private(), or they embed the private data in the
NMSetting struct.
In all cases, we can find the private data at a fixed offset. Track that
offset in the NMSettInfoSetting meta data.
This will be useful, because properties really are stored in simple
fields, like a boolean property can be stored in a "bool" field. We will
extend the property meta data to track the offset of this property
field, but we also need to know where the offset starts.
For example for NM_SETTING_CONNECTION_SECONDARIES, the user can set
the GObject property to a string list that includes empty strings.
The C accessors (add/remove-by-value) should also accept any strings that
are accepted otherwise. Asserting against empty strings is wrong. If the
setting wants to reject empty strings, then it should use verify().
"libnm-core/" is rather complicated. It provides a static library that
is linked into libnm.so and NetworkManager. It also contains public
headers (like "nm-setting.h") which are part of public libnm API.
Then we have helper libraries ("libnm-core/nm-libnm-core-*/") which
only rely on public API of libnm-core, but are themself static
libraries that can be used by anybody who uses libnm-core. And
"libnm-core/nm-libnm-core-intern" is used by libnm-core itself.
Move "libnm-core/" to "src/". But also split it in different
directories so that they have a clearer purpose.
The goal is to have a flat directory hierarchy. The "src/libnm-core*/"
directories correspond to the different modules (static libraries and set
of headers that we have). We have different kinds of such modules because
of how we combine various code together. The directory layout now reflects
this.
