A GObject interface, like a class, has two different C types
associated with it; the type of the "class" struct (eg, GObjectClass,
GFileIface), and the type of instances of that class/interface (eg,
GObject, GFile).
NetworkManager was doing this wrong though, and using the same C type
to point to both the interface's class struct and to instances of the
interface. This ends up not actually breaking anything, since for
interface types, the instance type is a non-dereferenceable dummy type
anyway. But it's wrong, since if, eg, NMDeviceFactory is a struct type
containing members "start", "device_added", etc, then you should not
be using an NMDeviceFactory* to point to an object that does not
contain those members.
Fix this by splitting NMDeviceFactory into NMDeviceFactoryInterface
and NMDeviceFactory; by splitting NMConnectionProvider into
NMConnectionProviderInterface and NMConnectionProvider; and by
splitting NMSettingsPlugin into NMSettingsPluginInterface and
NMSettingsPlugin; and then use the right types in the right places.
As a bonus, this also lets us now use G_DEFINE_INTERFACE.
Since there have not been separate system and user settings services
since 0.8, the "system" in NMSystemConfigInterface is kind of
meaningless. Rename it to NMSettingsPlugin, which describes what it
does better.
This is just:
git mv src/settings/nm-system-config-interface.h src/settings/nm-settings-plugin.h
git mv src/settings/nm-system-config-interface.c src/settings/nm-settings-plugin.c
perl -pi -e 's/SystemConfigInterface/SettingsPlugin/g;' \
-e 's/system_config_interface/settings_plugin/g;' \
-e 's/system-config-interface/settings-plugin/g;' \
-e 's/SYSTEM_CONFIG_INTERFACE/SETTINGS_PLUGIN/g;' \
-e 's/sc_plugin/settings_plugin/g;' \
-e 's/SC_PLUGIN/SETTINGS_PLUGIN/g;' \
-e 's/SC_IS_PLUGIN/SETTINGS_IS_PLUGIN/g;' \
-e 's/SC_TYPE_PLUGIN/SETTINGS_TYPE_PLUGIN/g;' \
-e 's/SCPlugin/SettingsPlugin/g;' \
-e 's/nm_system_config_factory/nm_settings_plugin_factory/g;' \
$(find src/settings -type f)
(followed by some whitespace fixups in nm-settings-plugin.c, and a
Makefile.am fix for the rename)
