We commonly don't use the glib typedefs for char/short/int/long,
but their C types directly.
$ git grep '\<g\(char\|short\|int\|long\|float\|double\)\>' | wc -l
587
$ git grep '\<\(char\|short\|int\|long\|float\|double\)\>' | wc -l

One could argue that using the glib typedefs is preferable in
public API (of our glib based libnm library) or where it clearly
is related to glib, like during
g_object_set (obj, PROPERTY, (gint) value, NULL);
However, that argument does not seem strong, because in practice we don't
follow that argument today, and seldomly use the glib typedefs.
Also, the style guide for this would be hard to formalize, because
"using them where clearly related to a glib" is a very loose suggestion.
Also note that glib typedefs will always just be typedefs of the
underlying C types. There is no danger of glib changing the meaning
of these typedefs (because that would be a major API break of glib).
A simple style guide is instead: don't use these typedefs.
No manual actions, I only ran the bash script:
FILES=($(git ls-files '*.[hc]'))
sed -i \
-e 's/\<g\(char\|short\|int\|long\|float\|double\)\>\( [^ ]\)/\1\2/g' \
-e 's/\<g\(char\|short\|int\|long\|float\|double\)\> /\1 /g' \
-e 's/\<g\(char\|short\|int\|long\|float\|double\)\>/\1/g' \
"${FILES[@]}"
This makes it more likely that the user will end up with a master
connection that has connection.interface-name property. This makes it
possible for ifcfg plugin to specify the master in the for of device
name (as opposed to UUID) for compatibility with the legacy network
tooling.
This is equivalent to what nmcli does.

- All internal source files (except "examples", which are not internal)
should include "config.h" first. As also all internal source
files should include "nm-default.h", let "config.h" be included
by "nm-default.h" and include "nm-default.h" as first in every
source file.
We already wanted to include "nm-default.h" before other headers
because it might contains some fixes (like "nm-glib.h" compatibility)
that is required first.
- After including "nm-default.h", we optinally allow for including the
corresponding header file for the source file at hand. The idea
is to ensure that each header file is self contained.
- Don't include "config.h" or "nm-default.h" in any header file
(except "nm-sd-adapt.h"). Public headers anyway must not include
these headers, and internal headers are never included after
"nm-default.h", as of the first previous point.
- Include all internal headers with quotes instead of angle brackets.
In practice it doesn't matter, because in our public headers we must
include other headers with angle brackets. As we use our public
headers also to compile our interal source files, effectively the
result must be the same. Still do it for consistency.
- Except for <config.h> itself. Include it with angle brackets as suggested by
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Configuration-Headers
The localization headers are now included via "nm-default.h".
Also fixes several places, where we wrongly included <glib/gi18n-lib.h>
instead of <glib/gi18n.h>. For example under "clients/" directory.
libnm mostly used GPtrArrays in its APIs, except that arrays of
connections were usually GSLists. Fix this and make them GPtrArrays
too (and rename nm_client_list_connections() to
nm_client_get_connections() to match everything else).
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().
nm_connection_lookup_setting_type() and
nm_connection_lookup_setting_type_by_quark() have nothing to do with
NMConnection. So move them to NMSetting (and rename them to
nm_setting_lookup_type() and nm_setting_lookup_type_by_quark()).
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.)
Create a new clients/ subdirectory at the top level, and move cli/ and
tui/ into it, as well as nm-online.c (which was previously in test/,
which made no sense).
cli/ was split into two subdirectories, src/ and completion/. While
this does simplify things (given that the completion file and the
binary both need to be named "nmcli"), it bloats the source tree, and
we can work around it by just renaming the completion file at install
time. Then we can combine the two directories into one and just have
it all under clients/cli/.
