This adds WP_SESSION_ITEM_FEATURE_ACTIVE and WP_SESSION_ITEM_FEATURE_EXPORTED
features, so _activate and _export APIs have been removed. Modules and unit
tests have also been updated.
Now the WpPipewireObject interface is directly implemented by the mixin
and there is another interface that users of the mixin must implement
in order for the mixin to work proprely.
A lot of manual stuff that proxy classes had to do before are now
in the mixin. Also most of the data that would normally reside in Private
structures is now in the mixin data structure (stored as qdata on the object).
This is achieving the best amount of code reuse so far.
For impl objects (WpImpl*) there are also default implementations of the
standard pipewire object methods and the INFO & PARAM_* features are
more coherently enabled during the whole lifetime of these objects.
This is an attempt to unclutter the API of WpProxy and
split functionality into smaller pieces, making it easier
to work with.
In this new class layout, we have the following classes:
- WpObject: base class for everything; handles activating
| and deactivating "features"
|- WpProxy: base class for anything that wraps a pw_proxy;
| handles events from pw_proxy and nothing more
|- WpGlobalProxy: handles integration with the registry
All the other classes derive from WpGlobalProxy. The reason
for separating WpGlobalProxy from WpProxy, though, is that
classes such as WpImplNode / WpSpaDevice can also derive from
WpProxy now, without interfacing with the registry.
All objects that come with an "info" structure and have properties
and/or params also implement the WpPipewireObject interface. This
provides the API to query properties and get/set params. Essentially,
this is implemented by all classes except WpMetadata (pw_metadata
does not have info)
This interface is implemented on each object separately, using
a private "mixin", which is a set of vfunc implementations and helper
functions (and macros) to facilitate the implementation of this interface.
A notable difference to the old WpProxy is that now features can be
deactivated, so it is possible to enable something and later disable
it again.
This commit disables modules, tests, tools, etc, to avoid growing the
patch more, while ensuring that the project compiles.
- make it a GObject so that it can emit its own signals
and so that it can be shared between multiple proxies
- share the WpProps instance between endpoints, endpoint-streams
and their underlying nodes
- introduce the concept of the caching mode that redirects _set
to _set_param of the proxy that actually has the props; this allows
shared WpProps to actually set changes on the correct proxy
in a transparent way
- change methods to consume the ref of the pod and reflect that
also on wp_proxy_set_prop()
- refactor the export process on endpoints & endpoint-streams
so that they always get all the required features (info, props, bound)
and make it async so that we can take time to prepare the underlying
node to have FEATURE_PROPS
- update the props & endpoint unit tests, bringing back all the
checks that the endpoint unit test used to have
+ rename FEATURE_CONTROLS to FEATURE_PROPS
+ add accessor for the standard spa_param_info (info->params)
+ hide the low-level params API that nobody uses
* core no longer exposes create_remote/local_object
* node, device & link have constructor methods
to enable the create_remote_object functionality
* added WpImplNode to wrap pw_impl_node and allow creating
"local" node instances
* added WpSpaDevice to wrap spa_device and allow creating
"local" device instances
* exporting objects in all cases now happens by requesting
FEATURE_BOUND from the proxy, eliminating the need for WpExported
* replaced WpMonitor by new, simpler code directly in module-monitor
* the proxy type lookup table in WpProxy is gone, we now
use a field on the class structure of every WpProxy subclass
and iterate through all the class structures instead; this is
more flexible and extensible
After discussing things at the AGL May 2019 F2F meeting
and reflecting on the initial design of WirePlumber,
it became clear that it needed a fresh start.
