Note that:
- we compile some source files multiple times. Most notably those
under "shared/".
- we include a default header "shared/nm-default.h" in every source
file. This header is supposed to setup a common environment by defining
and including parts that are commonly used. As we always include the
same header, the header must behave differently depending
one whether the compilation is for libnm-core, NetworkManager or
libnm-glib. E.g. it must include <glib/gi18n.h> or <glib/gi18n-lib.h>
depending on whether we compile a library or an application.
For that, the source files need the NETWORKMANAGER_COMPILATION #define
to behave accordingly.
Extend the define to be composed of flags. These flags are all named
NM_NETWORKMANAGER_COMPILATION_WITH_*, they indicate which part of the
build are available. E.g. when building libnm-core.la itself, then
WITH_LIBNM_CORE, WITH_LIBNM_CORE_INTERNAL, and WITH_LIBNM_CORE_PRIVATE
are available. When building NetworkManager, WITH_LIBNM_CORE_PRIVATE
is not available but the internal parts are still accessible. When
building nmcli, only WITH_LIBNM_CORE (the public part) is available.
This granularily controls the build.
vpn.data, bond.options, and user.data encode their values directly as
keys in keyfile. However, keys for GKeyFile may not contain characters
like '='.
We need to escape such special characters, otherwise an assertion
is hit on the server:
$ nmcli connection modify "$VPN_NAME" +vpn.data 'aa[=value'
Another example of encountering the assertion is when setting user-data key
with an invalid character "my.this=key=is=causes=a=crash".
(cherry picked from commit 8ef57d0f7e)
This is the first step to move keyfile to libnm. For now, only
copy the files to make later changes nicer in git-history.
