Lubomir Rintel a6af0ad443 cloud-setup: avoid accidental cast into a smaller type This resulted in what looked like more significant bits of GType pointer sometimes falling off the cliff, presumably because of a cast to NMDeviceType enum (that probably ends up actually being a char). This was silent enough to not emit compiler warnings and only occurring with some very rare situations (needs GCC with LTO and some of the optimization flags used by Fedora 41). Fixes: `cf6af54ffa` ('cloud-setup: allow VETH along with ETHERNET too') Fixes: `6ff4b9e57c` ('cloud-setup: create VLANs for multiple VNICs on OCI')		2025-01-28 08:25:16 +01:00

README.md

src/

Most of the subdirectories are static helper libraries, which get linked into one of the final build artifacts (like libnm, nmcli or NetworkManager). Static libraries are internal API.

The only public API is libnm, which is a shared library provided client implementations.

Our own clients (like nmcli and nmtui) also use libnm, the shared library. But they also use additional static helper libraries.

The daemon statically links against a part of libnm, the part that provides connection profiles. That is libnm-core. libnm-core is thus statically linked with libnm and the daemon. It does not get linked by clients that already link with libnm (like nmtui).
