We want that when a D-Bus interface get removed (which in practice means, the D-Bus object got removed altogether), that the properties are frozen in time. Previously, they were reset to the default, which isn't very useful. ... Except for the complex properties that refer other objects. We need to break the reference cycles. Previously, the patch only checked for the D-Bus types, and special handled "o" and "ao" types. That seems wrong to me. 1) at the point where the check was performed, we didn't yet check whether the variant has the expected signature. If (due to a bug or an API break) the type changes, we still want to reset the property. For that, we would have to call_obj_handle_dbus_prop_changes() and not shortcut. 2) we have handlers, I think those handlers should be asked to handle the removal, and not the calling code decide that it's not necessary. 2b) nm_active_connection_get_specific_object_path() is D-Bus type "o", but the libnm property is a plain string. For this we should also freeze the value. 2b) is actually the only exception, where it really makes a difference. Maybe that is a weak justification for this large patch, compared to the "simpler" variant before. I think the "simpler" variant is however a bit "wrong", and doing the wrong thing is usually simpler. |

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).
