The behavior of GRegex changed in 2.73.2 once it was ported from pcre1 to pcre2. In some cases it was made more strict, which is fine, in other cases it exposed some change in how it behaves on certain matches that is not extremely clear whether it's ok or not. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2729 See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/ModemManager/-/issues/601 See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/ModemManager/-/issues/621 Either way, one thing that was assumed was that initializing all GRegex/GMatchInfo variables to NULL and making sure they're NULL before they're initialized by glib (especially the GMatchInfo) was a good and safer approach. So, whenever possible, g_autoptr() is used to cleanup the allocated GMatchInfo/GRegex variables, and otherwise, g_clear_pointer() is used to ensure that no free/unref is attempted unless the given variable is not NULL, and also so that the variable is reseted to NULL after being disposed.
ModemManager. ModemManager provides a unified high level API for communicating with mobile broadband modems, regardless of the protocol used to communicate with the actual device (Generic AT, vendor-specific AT, QCDM, QMI, MBIM...). Using. ModemManager is a system daemon and is not meant to be used directly from the command line. However, since it provides a DBus API, it is possible to use 'dbus-send' commands or the new 'mmcli' command line interface to control it from the terminal. The devices are queried from udev and automatically updated based on hardware events, although a manual re-scan can also be requested to look for RS232 modems. Implementation. ModemManager is a DBus system bus activated service (meaning it's started automatically when a request arrives). It is written in C, using glib and gio. Several GInterfaces specify different features that the modems support, including the generic MMIfaceModem3gpp and MMIfaceModemCdma which provide basic operations for 3GPP (GSM, UMTS, LTE) or CDMA (CDMA1x, EV-DO) modems. If a given feature is not available in the modem, the specific interface will not be exported in DBus. Plugins. Plugins are loaded on startup, and must implement the MMPlugin interface. It consists of a couple of methods which tell the daemon whether the plugin supports a port and to create custom MMBroadbandModem implementations. It most likely makes sense to derive custom modem implementations from one of the generic classes and just add (or override) operations which are not standard. There are multiple fully working plugins in the plugins/ directory that can be used as an example for writing new plugins. Writing new plugins is highly encouraged! The plugin API is open for changes, so if you're writing a plugin and need to add or change some public method, feel free to suggest it! License. The ModemManager and mmcli binaries are both GPLv2+. The libmm-glib library is LGPLv2+. Code of Conduct. Please note that this project is released with a Contributor Code of Conduct.
