This is required to add objects in the "Types and Values" section and
in the API index. Later, we may want to add useful content in those
empty comments.
NMRemoteConnection used to return
NM_REMOTE_CONNECTION_ERROR_DISCONNECTED if you tried to operate on a
connection that had been disconnected from its D-Bus proxy. But this
disappeared in the gdbus port (since gdbus doesn't emit a signal when
it happens, so it's harder to notice. And it's not clear why
NMRemoteConnection did this when no other class did anyway...).
Add the missing variant in most places in the API where previously
there was either only a synchronous version or only an asynchronous
version.
There is not yet a synchronous nm_client_activate_connection(),
nm_client_add_and_activate_connection(), or
nm_remote_settings_add_connection(), because the existing async code
depends on waiting for other asynchronous events, so making them run
synchronously is slightly more complicated. But these APIs can be
added later.
Make synchronous APIs take GCancellables, and make asynchronous APIs
use GAsyncReadyCallbacks and have names ending in "_async", with
"_finish" functions to retrieve the results.
Also, make nm_client_activate_connection_finish(),
nm_client_add_and_activate_finish(), and
nm_remote_settings_add_connection_finish() be (transfer full) rather
than (transfer none), because the refcounting semantics become
slightly confusing in some edge cases otherwise.
Merge nm_remote_settings_add_connection() and
nm_remote_settings_add_connection_unsaved(), and likewise
nm_remote_connection_commit_changes() and
nm_remote_connection_commit_changes_unsaved(), by adding a boolean
flag to each saying whether to save to disk.
In preparation for porting to GDBus, make nm_connection_to_dbus(),
etc, represent connections as GVariants of type 'a{sa{sv}}' rather
than as GHashTables-of-GHashTables-of-GValues.
This means we're constantly converting back and forth internally, but
this is just a stepping stone on the way to the full GDBus port, and
all of that code will go away again later.
The fact that NMRemoteConnection has to be an NMConnection and
therefore can't be an NMObject means that it needs to reimplement bits
of NMObject functionality (and likewise NMObject needs some special
magic to deal with it). Likewise, we will need a daemon-side
equivalent of NMObject as part of the gdbus port, and we would want
NMSettingsConnection to be able to inherit from this as well.
Solve this problem by making NMConnection into an interface, and
having NMRemoteConnection and NMSettingsConnection implement it. (We
use some hacks to keep the GHashTable of NMSettings objects inside
nm-connection.c rather than having to be implemented by the
implementations.)
Since NMConnection is no longer an instantiable type, this adds
NMSimpleConnection to replace the various non-D-Bus-based uses of
NMConnection throughout the code. nm_connection_new() becomes
nm_simple_connection_new(), nm_connection_new_from_hash() becomes
nm_simple_connection_new_from_hash(), and nm_connection_duplicate()
becomes nm_simple_connection_new_clone().
NMRemoteConnection had two DBusGConnection properties
(NMRemoteConnection:bus and NMRemoteConnection:dbus-connection) and
two D-Bus path properties (NMConnection:path and
NMRemoteConnection:dbus-path). The former of each pair were the
traditional names, and the latter were added for compatibility with
NMObject.
In libnm, we can just drop NMRemoteConnection:bus, and use the
NMObject-compatible :dbus-connection name instead.
For the path properties, we need to rename either NMConnection:path or
NMObject:dbus-path. Since NMObject already has "nm_object_get_path()"
rather than "nm_object_get_dbus_path()", and it already mistakenly
referred to the property as "NMObject:path" in the gtk-docs, it seemed
to make sense to rename that one rather than the NMConnection one.
(And then, for consistency, rename "nm_object_get_connection()" to
"nm_object_get_dbus_connection()" to also match its property.)
Remove NMRemoteConnection::updated, which since 0.9.10 has been
redundant with NMConnection::changed. (We still handle the incoming
D-Bus signal, we just don't re-emit it as "updated", since the call to
nm_connection_replace_settings() already results in it emitting
"changed".)
NMRemoteSettings duplicates a bunch of NMObject's functionality that
it doesn't need to. In libnm-glib, it wouldn't have been possible to
port NMRemoteSettings to NMObject without breaking ABI, but now in
libnm we can do that.
As a side effect of this, NMRemoteSettings gains a "connections"
property, and "connection-added" and "connection-removed" signals
(with the former replacing the old "new-connection" signal). This also
removes the "connections-loaded" signal, since the connections will
now always be loaded (via the initialization of the "connections"
property) during init()/init_async().
Also, this removes NMRemoteConnection's "removed" signal, since it's
redundant with the new NMRemoteSettings::connection-removed (and
having the signal on NMRemoteSettings instead is more consistent with
other objects).
Add NetworkManager.h, which includes all of the other NM header, and
require all external users of libnm to use that rather than the
individual headers.
(An exception is made for nm-dbus-interface.h,
nm-vpn-dbus-interface.h, and nm-version.h, which can be included
separately.)
Add reserved slots to those classes that were missing them (or had run
out), and sync up the number of slots across classes:
- 8 slots for "important" classes, abstract base classes, and
classes we expect we might need to add new virtual methods or
signals to later.
- 4 for everything else
Also, rearrange the class elements in a few places into standard order
(signals first, then methods).
This commit begins creating the new "libnm", which will replace
libnm-util and libnm-glib.
The main reason for the libnm-util/libnm-glib split is that the daemon
needs to link to libnm-util (to get NMSettings, NMConnection, etc),
but can't link to libnm-glib (because it uses many of the same type
names as the NetworkManager daemon. eg, NMDevice). So the daemon links
to only libnm-util, but basically all clients link to both.
With libnm, there will be only a single client-visible library, and
NetworkManager will internally link against a private "libnm-core"
containing the parts that used to be in libnm-util.
(The "libnm-core" parts still need to be in their own directory so
that the daemon can see those header files without also seeing the
ones in libnm/ that conflict with its own headers.)
