Make a new API to hide some the implementation of eventfd, timerfd
and signalfd along with clock and read/write/ioctl/close functions.
We would like to have plugins use the abstractions so that we
can switch them to something else when needed.
The interface struct has the type,version and methods of the
interface.
Make spa interfaces extend from spa_interface and make a
separate structure for the methods.
Pass a generic void* as the first argument of methods, like
we don in PipeWire.
Bundle the methods + implementation in a versioned inteface
and use that to invoke methods. This way we can do version
checks on the methods.
Make resource and proxy interfaces that we can can call. We
can then make the core interfaces independent on proxy/resource and
hide them in the lower layers.
Add add_listener method to methods of core interfaces, just
like SPA.
Remove the done and error callbacks. The error callback is in an
error message. The done callback is replace with spa_pending.
Make enum_params take a callback and data for the results. This allows
us to push the results one after another to the app and avoids ownership
issues of the passed data. We can then extend this to handle the async
case by doing a _wait call with a spa_pending+callback+data that will
be called when the _enum_params returns and async result.
Add a sync method.
All methods can now return SPA_RESULT_IS_ASYNC return values and you
can use spa_node_wait() to register a callback when they complete
with optional extra parameters. This makes it easier to sync and
handle the reply.
Make helper methods to simulate the sync enum_params behaviour for
sync nodes.
Let the transport generate the sequence number for pw_resource_sync()
and pw_proxy_sync(). That way we don't need to keep track of numbers
ourselves and we can match the reply to the request easily.
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.
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.
Pass the minimum required version to the hook emission and only call
events when the handler is recent enough.
Add some macros to make event emission easier to read.
We need to keep the sources around until all sources are dispatched. If
not: source A and B are active after poll, A is dispatched first and
removes B, when B is then dispatched, the memory is gone. We don't
free the source but simply mark the fd invalid and move it do a
destroy list. After all sources are dispatched we destroy.
This is safe because removing a source is either done from the poll
context (with invoke) or when holding the right locks.
Make explicit links between elements that are used to activate the
next element in the graph.
Make subgraphs a special regular node. Make a link from the
subgraph children to the parent so that the subgraph completes when
all the children completed.
Implement a single process function in plugins
Remove many messages in the client node
Don't use a destroy_list anymore, it's not safe anyway. Instead require
that sources be removed with (a blocking) invoke. Make sure we don't
dispatch sources that were removed from the loop.
Add an interface that can manager a dbus connection.
Make a dbus interface in the core that can create connections running
in the core main loop. Keep this as support for spa plugins.
ringbuffer: remove size and mask from the ringbuffer, we have that
elsewhere in the user of the ringbuffer.
Remove the buffer data offset and size fields and replace with a
ringbuffer. We then have a ringbuffer in all buffer data, which
simplifies things.
We can now remove the ringbuffer metadata.
Make enum_params and set_param to configure properties, format
and other parameters. This allows us to remove some duplicate
code and make the properties and parameters much more extensible.
Use the object id to mark the id of the parameter.
Remove the spa_format and spa_props.
We can now make the client-node easier by merging the various
format methods into the params.
Make the stream API more powerful now that we can pass params
around.
Add signal handlers for daemon to shut down
Add destroy listeners for modules and do cleanup
Fix some leaks
Simplify port registration in new nodes
Hide some more data structures
Let the node implementation take care of the reuse_buffer signal because
then we can get to the graph nodes to find the destination port.
Destroy modules in core cleanup. Modules should undo everything they
have done.
Activate the link after we negotiated format and buffers.
