Make sure that NULL params don't cause -EINVAL but ignore them.
Don't add empty param objects. this makes it possible to clear all previous
params by setting an empty object.
Add a DONT_FIXATE flag to spa_pod_props. The flag avoids fixation
of the property by spa_pod_fixate().
When filtering properties, 'and' the flags together in the filtered
property. This mostly preserves the merged property flags. It also
merges the DONT_FIXATE flags so that when both sides can handle
the non-fixated result, it will be returned.
This can be used to let PipeWire filter out the common property
fields and leave the final selection of fields to the producer. This can
only work when the final selected field can be transported in some
other way than the format param, like on the buffer fields or in
metadata. One use case is negotiation of the DMABUF modifiers.
See #1084
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).
Remove the spa_pod_iter helpers
Remove builder/parser vararg recurse option, you have to
manually recurse into structures when needed. This simplifies
things a lot.
Pass spa_pod_frames to builder and parser explicitly, we don't
have to keep an internal stack anymore.
The parser is now almost a mirror image of the builder.
Make the parser safer when iterating over objects, add functions
to check and get pod contents in a safe way.
Make the builder return errno style results on errors
Improve performance of object properties when they are stored and
retrieved in the same order.
Add many more tests for the builder and parser
Add some benchmarks
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_io_control_range -> spa_io_range
Add helpers for sequence and control pod objects
Implement control properties in audiotestsrc, update test example.
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.
Add an argument to pass the result param to the caller instead of
having the caller have to pick it up from the builder.
Improve docs for node, clock and monitor
Pass spa_pod everywhere instead of spa_pod_object.
Pass result argument to spa_pod_filter to make things a little
nicer.
