Make a real debug context with a log function and move it to a new file.
This way we don't need to redefine a macro.
Make a new context for debugging to a log file. Make new functions to
debug to a log file.
Move the stringbuffer to string utils.
Integrate file/line/func and topics into the debug log.
We can remove some more things from the pipewire log_object function and
also add support for topics.
Add new spa_debugc_ funnctions that take a context. The user should also
redefine the spa_debugc macro to handle the context.
Use this to let some plugins log the pod and format to the log without
using the global logger.
Also use this to remove our custom pod logger function by reusing the
spa one with a custom context.
Subdirectories buffer, control, debug, monitor, pod, support and utils, others
are still missing. Headers are grouped either per subdirectory (e.g. buffer/
gets added to group spa_buffer) or per-file (e.g. spa_json is a separate
group), whatever seemed like the most sensible approach.
SPA_MEMBER is misleading, all we're doing here is pointer+offset and a
type-casting the result. Rename to SPA_PTROFF which is more expressive (and
has the same number of characters so we don't need to re-indent).
Only allow properties inside objects, this makes it easier to
iterate the object, which is needed for efficiently processing
control streams.
Add a choice type to mark variable properties.
SPA_TYPE_Enum -> SPA_TYPE_Id to avoid confusion with choice enum
Make it easier to allocate and initialize properties on the stack
Make more efficient methods to make objects.
SPA_ID_* -> SPA_TYPE_*. We use 'type' for all registered types.
ID refers to either a registered type or an enum.
Improve introspection of object ids. Make 0 an invalid enum and
use it to look up the object id type.
Move some type-info files together.
Swap type and id of the object, we first specify the type and then
the id because the meaning of the id depends on the object type.
Param ids and IO ids are now simple enums.
Move some type info in one place, delete some type-info files
Fix type debug
Make audio layout an enum
Mark more enums as enums in types so they show us with their names in
the debug.
Do not use dynamic types anymore. The reason is that it's difficult:
- to maintain a shared type database over a network.
- the extra overhead when translating between processes and for
maintaining the translation tables.
- race conditions in translating in RT-threads, this is a problem
because we want to make event streams.
We now have simple enums with types and extension points for all
types. This is also nicer to use in general.
We don't need the mapper anymore or pass strings around as types.
There is a parallel type info system to get more info about ids and
enums and their hierarchy. It can also be used for debugging.
