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.
* Remove entirely the hook priority numbers and use before/after dependencies
* Split the WpEvent code out of WpEventDispatcher
* Add methods on WpEvent to interface with it from the WpEventDispatcher.
As a bonus, we can now also implement tooling to inspect which hooks would
in theory run for an event and write tests around that
* Removed some internal debugging facilities and log calls, will redo it later.
* Using spa_list now for the list of hooks, to reduce the number of allocations
happening in the "hook collection" algorithm
* Switched some internal data to use g_new0 instead of g_slice_new0
* Added g_free to free WpEvent structures... surprisingly, we were leaking them
before
after-events hooks will get the original event triggering it, instead of the
rescan event.
after-events hook can register with any event, but it is called with rescan event
info. This is so because, after-events hook run after all the on-events hooks
are done with and as a part of the rescan event. so it is triggered with rescan
event data, which doesnt carry much info, instead of rescan event, it makes more
sense to call the after-events hook with the original event which triggered it.
- Add a new variable "name" in WpEventHook and use it to log all the
hooks(by name) picked up in _push_event(). This gives a clear picture
if hook is registered for a given event.
- Form a name for an event and a chain of events for an event run, log
both of them. This gives a clear picture of the events executed and
order in which they are dispatched.
- Similarly build hooks chain and print it in _source_dispatch(), this
gives a clear picture of the hooks picked and the order in which they
are dispatched.
- Log only the dispatchable(with hooks) events, this de-clutters
the log messages.
