NMSetting internally already tracked a list of all proper GObject properties
and D-Bus-only properties.
Rework the tracking of the list, so that:
- instead of attaching the data to the GType of the setting via
g_type_set_qdata(), it is tracked in a static array indexed by
NMMetaSettingType. This allows to find the setting-data by simple
pointer arithmetic, instead of taking a look and iterating (like
g_type_set_qdata() does).
Note, that this is still thread safe, because the static table entry is
initialized in the class-init function with _nm_setting_class_commit().
And it only accessed by following a NMSettingClass instance, thus
the class constructor already ran (maybe not for all setting classes,
but for the particular one that we look up).
I think this makes initialization of the metadata simpler to
understand.
Previously, in a first phase each class would attach the metadata
to the GType as setting_property_overrides_quark(). Then during
nm_setting_class_ensure_properties() it would merge them and
set as setting_properties_quark(). Now, during the first phase,
we only incrementally build a properties_override GArray, which
we finally hand over during nm_setting_class_commit().
- sort the property infos by name and do binary search.
Also expose this meta data types as internal API in nm-setting-private.h.
While not accessed yet, it can prove beneficial, to have direct (internal)
access to these structures.
Also, rename NMSettingProperty to NMSettInfoProperty to use a distinct
naming scheme. We already have 40+ subclasses of NMSetting that are called
NMSetting*. Likewise, NMMetaSetting* is heavily used already. So, choose a
new, distinct name.
Previously, each (non abstract) NMSetting class had to register
its name and priority via _nm_register_setting().
Note, that libnm-core.la already links against "nm-meta-setting.c",
which also redundantly keeps track of the settings name and gtype
as well.
Re-use NMMetaSettingInfo also in libnm-core.la, to track this meta
data.
The goal is to get rid of private data structures that track
meta data about NMSetting classes. In this case, "registered_settings"
hash. Instead, we should have one place where all this meta data
is tracked. This was, it is also accessible as internal API,
which can be useful (for keyfile).
Note that NMSettingClass has some overlap with NMMetaSettingInfo.
One difference is, that NMMetaSettingInfo is const, while NMSettingClass
is only initialized during the class_init() method. Appart from that,
it's mostly a matter of taste, whether we attach meta data to
NMSettingClass, to NMMetaSettingInfo, or to a static-array indexed
by NMMetaSettingType.
Note, that previously, _nm_register_setting() was private API. That
means, no user could subclass a functioning NMSetting instance. The same
is still true: NMMetaSettingInfo is internal API and users cannot access
it to create their own NMSetting subclasses. But that is almost desired.
libnm is not designed, to be extensible via subclassing, nor is it
clear why that would be a useful thing to do. One day, we should remove
the NMSetting and NMSettingClass definitions from public headers. Their
only use is subclassing the types, which however does not work.
While libnm-core was linking already against nm-meta-setting.c,
nm_meta_setting_infos was unreferenced. So, this change increases
the binary size of libnm and NetworkManager (1032 bytes). Note however
that roughly the same information was previously allocated at runtime.
- Don't use @parent_class name. This local variable (and @object_class) is
the class instance up-cast to the pointer types of the parents. The point
here is not that it is the direct parent. The point is, that it's the
NMSettingClass type.
Also, it can only be used inconsistently, in face of NMSettingIP4Config,
who's parent type is NMSettingIPConfig. Clearly, inside
nm-setting-ip4-config.c we wouldn't want to use the "parent_class"
name. Consistently rename @parent_class to @setting_class.
- Also rename the pointer to the own class to @klass. "setting_class" is also the
wrong name for that, because the right name would be something like
"setting_6lowpan_class".
However, "klass" is preferred over the latter, because we commonly create new
GObject implementations by copying an existing one. Generic names like "klass"
and "self" inside a type implementation make that simpler.
- drop useless comments like
/* virtual functions */
/* Properties */
It's better to logically and visually structure the code, and avoid trival
remarks about that. They only end up being used inconsistently. If you
even need a stronger visual separator, then an 80 char /****/ line
should be preferred.
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
21114
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[@]}"
constructor functions are ugly, because code is running before
main() starts. Instead, as the registration code for NMSetting types
is insid the GType constructor, we just need to ensure at the
right place, that the GType was created.
The right place here is _register_settings_ensure_inited(), because
that is called before we need the registration information.
We commonly only allow tabs at the beginning of a line, not
afterwards. The reason for this style is so that the code
looks formated right with tabstop=4 and tabstop=8.
till now when no explicit value was set on a property, the default value
for that property was returned, also if the property was not applicable
to the selected runner.
Fix this, showing default values for properties only when relevant and
showing instead -1 or null when the property is not relevant for the
selected runner.
Moreover, reset all the properties but the link-watchers when the team.runner
is changed: this is required to clean up the properties unrelated to the
new runner and start with the runner-specific defaults.
Team allows to specify multiple link watchers for each link.
Define a link watcher object in order to allow to specify multiple ones
for each Team configuration.
Since we possibly already link against libjansson, we can also expose some
helper utils which allows nmcli to do basic validation of JSON without
requiring to duplicate the effort of using libjansson.
Also, tighten up the cecks to ensure that we have a JSON object at hand.
We are really interested in that and not of arrays or literals.
A user may very well have connections on disk with bogus json.
Such connections may have failed to activate before, but rejecting
them now as invalid means that we stop loading them from disk. That is,
they disappear after upgrade.
Instead of doing that, also accept invalid json (beside "") and
normalize/coerce it to NULL.

(cherry picked from commit 476810c290)
NMSettingTeam implements a custom compare_property() method in order
to perform a relaxed matching on team configurations when it is
necessary to assume a connection. However, the method is called also
when the core needs to check if a connection has changed before an
update. In that case it is better to use the default string comparison
on the property, otherwise the second of these commands would not have
effect:
$ nmcli connection modify team0 team.config ''
$ nmcli connection modify team0 team.config '{ }'
because compare_property() returns TRUE. Use the @flags argument to
distinguish the two cases.

- 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.
Add "---dbus---" sections to the NMSetting property docs, in the same
style as the plugin docs, parse them out into a file
"nm-setting-docs-overrides.xml", and use them to override the GObject
property docs in nm-setting-docs.xml.
This lets us put more D-Bus-specific information in the setting docs,
without cluttering up the property docs, and it also lets us document
dbus-only properties.
Move the settings/plugins doc generation from libnm-util to
libnm-core, since libnm-util isn't being updated for all new
properties.
With this commit, the keyfile and ifcfg-rh documentation is basically
unchanged, except that deprecated properties are now gone, and new
properties have been added, and the sections are in a different order.
(generate-plugin-docs.pl just outputs the settings in Makefile order,
and they were unsorted in libnm-util, but are sorted in libnm-core).
The settings documentation used for nm-settings.5, the D-Bus API docs,
and the nmcli help is changed a bit more at this point, and mostly for
the worse, since the libnm-core setting properties don't match up with
the D-Bus API as well as the libnm-util ones do. To be fixed...
(I also removed the "plugins docs" line in each plugin docs comment
block while moving them, since those blocks will be used for more than
just plugins soon, and it's sort of obvious anyway.)
Libraries need to include <gi18n-lib.h>, not <gi18n.h>, so that _()
will get defined to "dgettext (GETTEXT_DOMAIN, string)" rather than
"gettext (string)" (which will use the program's default domain, which
works fine for programs in the NetworkManager tree, but not for
external users). Likewise, we need to call bindtextdomain() so that
gettext can find the translations if the library is installed in a
different prefix from the program using it (and
bind_textdomain_codeset(), so it will know the translations are in
UTF-8 even if the locale isn't).
(The fact that no one noticed this was broken before is because the
libraries didn't really start returning useful translated strings much
until 0.9.10, and none of the out-of-tree clients have been updated to
actually show those strings to users yet.)
config.h should be included from every .c file, and it should be
included before any other include. Fix that.
(As a side effect of how I did this, this also changes us to
consistently use "config.h" rather than <config.h>. To the extent that
it matters [which is not much], quotes are more correct anyway, since
we're talking about a file in our own build tree, not a system
include.)
nm_setting_verify() took a GSList of other NMSettings, but really it
would just be simpler all around to pass the NMConnection instead...
This means that several formerly NMSetting-branded functions that
operated on lists-of-settings now get replaced with
NMConnection-branded functions instead.
Each setting type was defining its own error type, but most of them
had exactly the same three errors ("unknown", "missing property", and
"invalid property"), and none of the other values was of much use
programmatically anyway.
So, this commit merges NMSettingError, NMSettingAdslError, etc, all
into NMConnectionError. (The reason for merging into NMConnectionError
rather than NMSettingError is that we also already have
"NMSettingsError", for errors related to the settings service, so
"NMConnectionError" is a less-confusable name for settings/connection
errors than "NMSettingError".)
Also, make sure that all of the affected error messages are localized,
and (where appropriate) prefix them with the relevant property name.

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.
It needs to be possible to deserialize a connection hash into an
invalid NMConnection; in particular, AddAndActivateConnection()
explicitly allows this.
Previously, the SetFunc and NotSetFunc passed to
_nm_setting_class_override_property() could return a verification
error immediately, but this functionality has to go away if we're
going to be able to deserialize invalid connections.
That functionality was only used in the handling of invalid virtual
interface names; reorganize how that code works so that
NMSettingConnection does all of the verification itself. (The code to
make sure that it returned the "correct" error domain in that case
turned out to be irrelevant, since the setting error domains don't get
serialized over D-Bus correctly anyway.)
NMParamSpecSpecialized existed basically to provide a version of
GParamSpecBoxed that could compare dbus-glib-valued properties
correctly.
However, g_param_values_cmp() was only used by NM directly in one
place (NMSetting's compare_property()), and we don't actually need to
indirect through GParamSpec there; we could just call
NMParamSpecSpecialized's value-comparison function directly.
So, change all NMParamSpecSpecialized properties to GParamSpecBoxed,
rename the _gvalues_compare() function it used to
"nm_property_compare()", and use that from NMSetting.
(g_param_values_cmp() also gets used internally by
g_param_value_defaults(), but all NMParamSpecSpecialized properties
have a default value of NULL, so GParamSpecBoxed's pointer-equality
check will do the job just fine there.)
Remove the virtual :interface-name properties and their getters, and
use property overrides to do backward-compat handling when
serializing/deserializing.
Now when constructing an NMConnection from a hash, if the virtual
property is set and the NMSettingConnection property isn't, then the
override for NMSettingConnection:interface-name will set that property
to the value of the virtual interface-name. And when converting an
NMConnection to a hash, the overrides for the virtual properties will
return the value of NMSettingConnection:interface-name.
Simplify the use of _nm_register_setting() by having it splice
together various symbol names itself rather than requiring them to be
specified explicitly, and extend it to also ensure that the type's
corresponding error type is registered (allowing one to find it via
g_type_from_name() if necessary).
Since we enforce the fact that bond, bridge, team, and vlan
interface-name properties match NMSettingConnection:interface-name,
nm_connection_get_virtual_iface_name() can be replaced with
nm_connection_get_interface_name() basically everywhere.
The one place this doesn't work is with InfiniBand partitions (where
get_virtual_iface_name() was actually computing the name), but for the
most part we only need to care about the interface names of InfiniBand
partitions in places where we also already need to do some other
InfiniBand-specific handling as well, so we can use an
InfiniBand-specific method
(nm_setting_infiniband_get_virtual_interface_name()) to get it.
(Also, while updating nm_device_get_virtual_device_description(), fix
it to handle InfiniBand partitions too.)
