The intention is to make checks for enabled log topics faster.
Every topic has its own structure that is statically defined in the file
where the logs are printed from. The structure is initialized transparently
when it is first used and it contains all the log level flags for the levels
that this topic should print messages. It is then checked on the wp_log()
macro before printing the message.
Topics from SPA/PipeWire are also handled natively, so messages are printed
directly without checking if the topic is enabled, since the PipeWire and SPA
macros do the checking themselves.
Messages coming from GLib are checked inside the handler.
An internal WpLogFields object is used to manage the state of each log
message, populating all the fields appropriately from the place they
are coming from (wp_log, spa_log, glib log), formatting the message and
then printing it. For printing to the journald, we still use the glib
message handler, converting all the needed fields to GLogField on demand.
That message handler does not do any checks for the topic or the level, so
we can just call it to send the message.
Also rename the intermediate lua api table WpDebug -> WpLog
Keeps things more consistent with the function names (wp_log*),
with the lua api (Log.*) and with pipewire using log.{h,c} as well.
After all, these functions are for logging...
A base class for objects that can have optional
features enabled and disabled. The intention is to make
this the superclass of WpProxy.
Instead of following the augment() pattern of WpProxy,
this one follows the more advanced transition pattern
that has been previously implemented in WpSessionItem.
After discussing things at the AGL May 2019 F2F meeting
and reflecting on the initial design of WirePlumber,
it became clear that it needed a fresh start.
Exposing a spa_dict is necessary to allow using native pipewire API
that deals with these properties.
The internal structure change avoids mem copies when we need to
return a spa_dict.
This commits also removes exposing internal info structures via the
properties mechanism. This needs more thinking...
