- Don't use @parent_class name. This local variable (and @object_class) is
the class instance up-cast to the pointer types of the parents. The point
here is not that it is the direct parent. The point is, that it's the
NMSettingClass type.
Also, it can only be used inconsistently, in face of NMSettingIP4Config,
who's parent type is NMSettingIPConfig. Clearly, inside
nm-setting-ip4-config.c we wouldn't want to use the "parent_class"
name. Consistently rename @parent_class to @setting_class.
- Also rename the pointer to the own class to @klass. "setting_class" is also the
wrong name for that, because the right name would be something like
"setting_6lowpan_class".
However, "klass" is preferred over the latter, because we commonly create new
GObject implementations by copying an existing one. Generic names like "klass"
and "self" inside a type implementation make that simpler.
- drop useless comments like
/* virtual functions */
/* Properties */
It's better to logically and visually structure the code, and avoid trival
remarks about that. They only end up being used inconsistently. If you
even need a stronger visual separator, then an 80 char /****/ line
should be preferred.
constructor functions are ugly, because code is running before
main() starts. Instead, as the registration code for NMSetting types
is insid the GType constructor, we just need to ensure at the
right place, that the GType was created.
The right place here is _register_settings_ensure_inited(), because
that is called before we need the registration information.
We'll need two "base" settings for Bluetooth NAP connections: bridge to set up
the actual link and bluetooth to identify the HCI to register the network
server with.
Let's use two priorities for base setting, with "1" marking one of higher
priority and "2" of lower priority when both are present.
The numeric value of NM_SETTING_PROXY_METHOD_NONE should be zero,
as that is the more natural default.
Also, cast all uses of the enum values in g_object_set() to
(int).
libnm-core: pac-script property in NMSettingProxy now represents the
script itself not the location. It ensures that the connection is
self contained.
nmcli: Supports loading of PAC Script via file path or written explicitly.
Unnecessary APIs have been removed from nm-setting-proxy, client like
nm-connection-editor are expected to create a PAC script snippet the load
the location of file in NM.
libnm-core has been expanded to include proxy settings which clients
like nmcli, nm-connection-editor use to configure proxy in PacRunner. It
offers three modes i.e 'auto', 'manual'and 'none' and accordingly take
data to configure PacRunner. The modes matches on the PacRunner side too.
