We no longer add these. If you use Emacs, configure it yourself.
Also, due to our "smart-tab" usage the editor anyway does a subpar
job handling our tabs. However, on the upside every user can choose
whatever tab-width he/she prefers. If "smart-tabs" are used properly
(like we do), every tab-width will work.
No manual changes, just ran commands:
F=($(git grep -l -e '-\*-'))
sed '1 { /\/\* *-\*- *[mM]ode.*\*\/$/d }' -i "${F[@]}"
sed '1,4 { /^\(#\|--\|dnl\) *-\*- [mM]ode/d }' -i "${F[@]}"
Check remaining lines with:
git grep -e '-\*-'
The ultimate purpose of this is to cleanup our files and eventually use
SPDX license identifiers. For that, first get rid of the boilerplate lines.
The library is called "libnm_core". So the dependency should be called
"libnm_core_dep", like in all other cases.

It's not yet used, but it will be. We will need nm_sd_utils_unbase64mem()
to strictly validate WireGuard settings, which contain keys in base64 encoding.
Note that we also need a stub implementation for logging. This will do
nothing for all logging from "libnm-systemd-shared.a". This makes
sense because "libnm.so" as a library should not log directly. Also,
"libnm.so" will only use a small portion of "libnm-systemd-shared.a" which
doesn't log anything. Thus this code is unused and dropped by the linker
with "--gc-sections".
1) the command line gets shorter. I frequently run `make V=1` to see
the command line arguments for the compiler, and there is a lot
of noise.
2) define each of these variables at one place. This makes it easy
to verify that for all compilation units, a particular
define has the same value. Previously that was not obvious or
even not the case (see commit e5d1a71396
and commit d63cf1ef2f).
The point is to avoid redundancy.
3) not all compilation units need all defines. In fact, most modules
would only need a few of these defines. We aimed to pass the necessary
minium of defines to each compilation unit, but that was non-obvious
to get right and often we set a define that wasn't used. See for example
"src_settings_plugins_ibft_cppflags" which needlessly had "-DSYSCONFDIR".
This question is now entirely avoided by just defining all variables in
a header. We don't care to find the minimum, because every component
gets anyway all defines from the header.
4) this also avoids the situation, where a module that previously did
not use a particular define gets modified to require it. Previously,
that would have required to identify the missing define, and add
it to the CFLAGS of the complation unit. Since every compilation
now includes "config-extra.h", all defines are available everywhere.
5) the fact that each define is now available in all compilation units
could be perceived as a downside. But it isn't, because these defines
should have a unique name and one specific value. Defining the same
name with different values, or refer to the same value by different
names is a bug, not a desirable feature. Since these defines should
be unique accross the entire tree, there is no problem in providing
them to every compilation unit.
6) the reason why we generate "config-extra.h" this way, instead of using
AC_DEFINE() in configure.ac, is due to the particular handling of
autoconf for directory variables. See [1].
With meson, it would be trivial to put them into "config.h.meson".
While that is not easy with autoconf, the "config-extra.h" workaround
seems still preferable to me.

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[@]}"
The files in shared/nm-utils are not compiled as one static library,
instead each subproject that needs (parts of) them, re-compiles the
files individually.
The major reason for that is, because we might have different compile
flags, depending on whether we build libnm-core or
libnm-util/libnm-glib. Actually, I think that is not really the case,
and maybe this should be refactored, to indeed build them all as a
static library first.
Anyway, libnm-util, libnm-glib, clients' common lib, they all need a
different set of shared files that they should compile. Refactor
"shared/meson.build" to account for that and handle it like autotools
does.
Another change is, that "shared_c_siphash_dep" no longer advertises
"include_directories: include_directories('c-siphash/src')". We don't
put c-siphash.h into the include search path. Users who need it, should
include it via "#include <c-siphash/src/c-siphash.h>". The only exception
is when building shared_n_acd library, which is not under our control.
Use two common defines NM_BUILD_SRCDIR and NM_BUILD_BUILDDIR
for specifying the location of srcdir and builddir.
Note that this is only relevant for tests, as they expect
a certain layout of the directories, to find files that concern
them.
tools/test-networkmanager-service.py is our NetworkManager stub server.
NetworkManager uses libnm(-core) heavily, for example to decide whether
a connection verifies (nm_connection_verify()) and for normalizing
connections (nm_connection_normalize()).
If the stub server wants to mimic NetworkManager, it also must use these
function. Luckily, we already can do so, by loading libnm using python
GObject introspection.
We already correctly set GI_TYPELIB_PATH search path, so that the
correct libnm is loaded -- provided that we build with introspection
enabled.
We still need to gracefully fail, if starting the stub server fails.
That requries some extra effort. If the stub server notices that
something is missing, it shall exit with status 77. That will cause
the tests to g_test_skip().
There are multiple tests with the same in different directories; add a
unique prefix to test names so that it is clear from the output which
one is running.

The product names are generally of rather poor quality. The product name
is no place to enumerate product capabilities, the bus it's attached on
and similar nonsense.
If there's a [<string>] that survived the substitution, then the string
is supposed to be a short form that is generally preferrable.
That's great in theory, but actually it's rather often pure garbage for
product names. Let's prefer it just for vendors and provide an option to
drop it (will be useful for fixing up product names).
The hwdb generally contains the strings of rather poor quality,
especially when it comes to sensibly presenting them to the user and
they need various cleanups.
While the following patches add fixups, this one splits out vendor
fixups, because it turns out that a different set of fixups is needed
than for products.
Some targets are missing dependencies on some generated sources in
the meson port. These makes the build to fail due to missing source
files on a highly parallelized build.
These dependencies have been resolved by taking advantage of meson's
internal dependencies which can be used to pass source files,
include directories, libraries and compiler flags.
One of such internal dependencies called `core_dep` was already in
use. However, in order to avoid any confusion with another new
internal dependency called `nm_core_dep`, which is used to include
directories and source files from the `libnm-core` directory, the
`core_dep` dependency has been renamed to `nm_dep`.
These changes have allowed minimizing the build details which are
inherited by using those dependencies. The parallelized build has
also been improved.
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.
Source files for enum types are generated by passing segments of the
source code of the files to the `glib-mkenums` command.
This patch removes those parameters where source code is used from
meson build files by moving those segmeents to template files.

There are some tests located in different directories which are
using the same name. To avoid any confussion a prefix was used to
name the test and the target.
This patch uses the prefix just for the target, to avoid any
collision that may happen, and uses the `test-` pattern as the
name.

Previously, internal parts of libnm were not testable.
Instead, add "libnm/nm-libnm-utils.c" and "libnm/libnm-utils.la"
to contain code that can be statically linked with a new
test "libnm/tests/test-general".
The assumption is not too useful to the library user anyway -- it could easily
be that there's some other link to the object in the object tree.
More importantly, when the objects are managed by the object manager,
we don't destroy the object until we see it actually removed on the
D-Bus. That makes more sense anyway.
No need to have two test-runners. Combine them, and call tests always
via "tools/run-nm-test.sh".
Yes, this brings an overhead, that we now always invoke the test with
a test wrapper script, also --without-vagrind. Previously, that was only
necessary for libnm tests that require their own D-Bus session.
Later we will do non-recursive Makefiles, thus all tests should have the
same LOG_COMPILER.
For internal compilation we want to be able to use deprecated
API without warnings.
Define the version min/max macros to effectively disable deprecation
warnings.
However, don't do it via CFLAGS option in the makefiles, instead hack it
to "nm-default.h". After all, *every* source file that is for internal
compilation needs to include this header as first.
Relax our error checking which will allow us to try harder to
make the best out of whatever NetworkManager sends us.
Also, drop the g_warning(). First, now we really don't expect this
function to fail. And even in that case, raising a g_warning() from
the library is not very friendly to the user of libnm.
We're expecting four callbacks: a client::devices change,
client::active-connections change, client::activate callback,
and a device::active-connection change.
We only hook the second one in the callback to the first one, and
only if client::active-connections is not set already. If it is
(when running slowly in valgrind), we just decrement the counter.
However, as the counter is one less than it should be, it would
underflow and we wait forever* instead.
For the value of forever=20s, given that's the timeout of the
mockup service.
- 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
