A profile is a list of features set to required/optional/disabled
which governs which components are getting loaded, given a static
components list with well-defined dependencies
This allows registering arbitrary objects on the core's registry and
finding them later, without having to add API for each and every object.
I think this is useful enough to have it public, even though it's
probably not going to be used that much... The rationale here is to
allow registering custom component loaders without having to make them
subclass WpPlugin or to create custom API for registering component
loaders specifically.
Also, remove the wp_plugin_register() and wp_si_factory_register()
functions, since they are not going to be used much in the future.
The idea is to let the component loader do the registration under the
scenes, as the component is getting loaded.
Each component can optionally "provide" a feature, which is basically
a string that describes the feature (ex. "support.dbus"). If the
component loads successfully, the feature is marked as provided and
can be tested for its presence with wp_core_test_feature()
* initialize all log-related features in a new wp_log_init() function
* remove the ability to change the log patterns later, as the log
topics are not referenced by the log system and there is no way to
re-initialize them with different levels (we can still implement this
in the future, if necessary, though)
* introduce the notion of a "global log level", referenced by all topics,
and make the topics know if they have a custom level or not, like in
pipewire; this is necessary to be able to set the level in the config
file, which is read later by pw_context / WpCore.
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.
And don't override PIPEWIRE_DEBUG, unless WIREPLUMBER_DEBUG is set.
This allows pipewire to use log.level as well to set up its logging.
If WIREPLUMBER_DEBUG is set, though, override PIPEWIRE_DEBUG to prevent
log.level from being used.
- pw_core_info has data that represent the remote core
- pw_core properties are the properties of its pw_client,
initially inherited from the pw_context, which can be updated either
when calling pw_context_connect() or later at runtime (the pw_core
calls pw_client_update_properties() on its pw_client)
wp_core_update_properties() is made in such a way so that we can do:
```
clone = wp_core_clone(core);
wp_core_update_properties(clone, ...);
wp_core_connect(clone);
```
and get clone to have different properties than the original core,
while they still share the same pw_context underneath
There are 3 kinds of WpProxy objects:
* the ones that are created as a result of binding a global
from the registry
* the ones that are created as a result of calling into a remote
factory (wp_node_new_from_factory, etc...)
* the ones that are a local implementation of an object
(WpImplNode, etc...) and are exported
Previously the object manager was only able to track the first kind.
With these changes we can now also have globals associated with
WpProxies that were created earlier (and caused the creation of the global).
This saves some resources and reduces round-trips (in case client
code wants to change properties of an object that is locally
implemented, it shouldn't need to do a round-trip through the server)
* core no longer exposes create_remote/local_object
* node, device & link have constructor methods
to enable the create_remote_object functionality
* added WpImplNode to wrap pw_impl_node and allow creating
"local" node instances
* added WpSpaDevice to wrap spa_device and allow creating
"local" device instances
* exporting objects in all cases now happens by requesting
FEATURE_BOUND from the proxy, eliminating the need for WpExported
* replaced WpMonitor by new, simpler code directly in module-monitor
* the proxy type lookup table in WpProxy is gone, we now
use a field on the class structure of every WpProxy subclass
and iterate through all the class structures instead; this is
more flexible and extensible
