* dbus/dbus-types.h: hardcode dbus_bool_t to 32 bits
* Throughout: modify DBUS_TYPE_BOOLEAN to be a 32-bit type instead
of an 8-bit type. Now dbus_bool_t is the type to use whenever you
are marshaling/unmarshaling a boolean.
* Add and fix docs according to Doxygen warnings throughout
source.
* dbus/dbus-marshal-recursive.c
(_dbus_type_reader_array_is_empty): change this to just call
array_reader_get_array_len() and make it static
* dbus/dbus-message.c (dbus_message_iter_get_element_type): rename
from get_array_type
(dbus_message_iter_init_append): rename from append_iter_init
* dbus/dbus-marshal-recursive.c
(_dbus_type_reader_get_element_type): rename from
_dbus_type_reader_get_array_type
* Land the new message args API and type system.
This patch is huge, but the public API change is not
really large. The set of D-BUS types has changed somewhat,
and the arg "getters" are more geared toward language bindings;
they don't make a copy, etc.
There are also some known issues. See these emails for details
on this huge patch:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dbus/2004-December/001836.htmlhttp://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dbus/2005-January/001922.html
* dbus/dbus-marshal-*: all the new stuff
* dbus/dbus-message.c: basically rewritten
* dbus/dbus-memory.c (check_guards): with "guards" enabled, init
freed blocks to be all non-nul bytes so using freed memory is less
likely to work right
* dbus/dbus-internals.c (_dbus_test_oom_handling): add
DBUS_FAIL_MALLOC=N environment variable, so you can do
DBUS_FAIL_MALLOC=0 to skip the out-of-memory checking, or
DBUS_FAIL_MALLOC=10 to make it really, really, really slow and
thorough.
* qt/message.cpp: port to the new message args API
(operator<<): use str.utf8() rather than str.unicode()
(pretty sure this is right from the Qt docs?)
* glib/dbus-gvalue.c: port to the new message args API
* bus/dispatch.c, bus/driver.c: port to the new message args API
* dbus/dbus-string.c (_dbus_string_init_const_len): initialize the
"locked" flag to TRUE and align_offset to 0; I guess we never
looked at these anyhow, but seems cleaner.
* dbus/dbus-string.h (_DBUS_STRING_ALLOCATION_PADDING):
move allocation padding macro to this header; use it to implement
(_DBUS_STRING_STATIC): ability to declare a static string.
* dbus/dbus-message.c (_dbus_message_has_type_interface_member):
change to return TRUE if the interface is not set.
* dbus/dbus-string.[hc]: move the D-BUS specific validation stuff
to dbus-marshal-validate.[hc]
* dbus/dbus-marshal-basic.c (_dbus_type_to_string): move here from
dbus-internals.c
* dbus/Makefile.am: cut over from dbus-marshal.[hc]
to dbus-marshal-*.[hc]
* dbus/dbus-object-tree.c (_dbus_decompose_path): move this
function here from dbus-marshal.c

smoking crack... I don't quite remember where I was going with this
but we're getting closer.
my birthday, but it will be in like 8 months and for such a huge celebration
I want to start preparing rather early.
The marshelling in Message is crap (not the good kind of crap either). I'm
not yet sure how we'll handle the transition from dcop but for now lets
at least make it sane api wise.
