Until now, object manager could only match pw global properties on
pw global objects, because this is the only available properties set
at the time the registry creates the global.
With this change, the object manager will now bind the proxy
if the type and the pw global properties have matched and will wait
until the proxy is available with all of its properties and tries
the check again.
There is no real use for groups in our API. Just use the name of
the file as the default group and be done with it...
Storing multiple groups with this API is problematic because it
forces flushing the file to disk multiple times, one for each group,
and it's just more performant if we use a prefix in the keys
to implement some form of logical separation.
This commit also makes the GKeyFile a temporary object. As we
always load the file from the file system in _load()
and we always replace its contents with a new dictionary in _save(),
there is no point in keeping the keyfile's internal data structures
stored in memory.
Save errors are now also propagated to adhere to the programming
practices of GObject
We have ended up not using them, so let's not carry them
in the ABI of 0.4
We can always revert that, but let's first decide how
these objects should be used
the "long" type in spa-pod is int64_t, so we need to make sure we
pass a 64-bit number there, otherwise the va_args is going to crash
on some architectures while reading arguments off the stack
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.
* Use a more complete API to introspect SPA types
* Avoid the need for the Tables enumeration; the tables
are now registered with a string
* Avoid the need for initialization, work directly on spa_types
and other static data
* Allow working with Object pods that are not Params;
the PARAMS table was previously hardcoded in the pod implementation
* Add a different dynamic type registration system, closer to
how spa type works. The only regression is that we can no longer
register additional custom object fields (custom SPA_PROP_* for example),
but this feature can be re-added later
- 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
