The "only_dirty" parameter to a remove-all() function is odd.
For one, the function is called remove-all, but depending on a parameter
it does not remove all.
Also, setting remove-all(only_dirty=TRUE) means it will remove not
everything, so passing TRUE will remove only parts. That logic seems
confusing.
Avoid that, by removing the parameter from nm_l3cfg_remove_config_all()
and add nm_l3cfg_remove_config_all_dirty().
Each NML3ConfigData should have a source set, and in fact most callers
would call nm_l3_config_data_set_source() right after creating the
instance.
Move the source parameter to the new() constructor function. Also remove
the setter, making the source of an instance immutable.
As every l3cfg instance generally has a clear purpose, the source should
always be known from the start and doesn't need to change.
The "utils" part does not seem useful in the name.
Note that we also have NMStrBuf, which is named nm_str_buf_*().
There is an unfortunate similarity between the two, but it's still
distinct enough (in particular, because one takes an NMStrBuf and
the other not).
Currently "src/" mostly contains the source code of the daemon.
I say mostly, because that is not true, there are also the device,
settings, wwan, ppp plugins, the initrd generator, the pppd and dhcp
helper, and probably more.
Also we have source code under libnm-core/, libnm/, clients/, and
shared/ directories. That is all confusing.
We should have one "src" directory, that contains subdirectories. Those
subdirectories should contain individual parts (libraries or
applications), that possibly have dependencies on other subdirectories.
There should be a flat hierarchy of directories under src/, which
contains individual modules.
As the name "src/" is already taken, that prevents any sensible
restructuring of the code.
As a first step, move "src/" to "src/core/". This gives space to
reorganize the code better by moving individual components into "src/".
For inspiration, look at systemd's "src/" directory.
