Define the memory type a Stream uses and allow application to set it
through the associated StreamConfiguration.
A Stream can use either internal or external memory allocation methods,
depending on where the data produced by the stream is actually saved.

All interactions with the Stream's buffers currently go through the
BufferPool. In order to shorten accessing the buffers array, and eventually
restrict access to the Stream's internal buffer pool, provide operations to
access, create and destroy buffers.
It is still possible to access the pool for pipeline handlers to
populate it by exporting buffers from a video device to Stream's pool.

The cam and qcam applications, as well as the camera capture test case,
access the Stream::bufferPool in order to know how many requests to
initially queue. As part of an effort to remove access to the buffer
pool from applications, use the buffer count from the stream
configuration instead.

When stopping the stream buffers have been queued, in which case their
completion is never be notified to the user. This can lead to memory
leaks. Fix it by notifying completion of all queued buffers with the
status set to error.
As a result the base PipelineHandler implementation can be simplified,
as all requests complete as the result of stopping the stream. The
stop() method that manually completes all queued requests isn't needed
anymore.

The Buffer class is a large beast the stores information about the
buffer memory, dynamic metadata related to the frame stored in the
buffer, and buffer reference data (in the index). In order to implement
buffer import we will need to extend this with dmabuf file descriptors,
making usage of the class even more complex.
Refactor the Buffer class by splitting the buffer memory information to
a BufferMemory class, and repurposing the Buffer class to reference a
buffer and to store dynamic metadata. The BufferMemory class becomes a
long term storage, valid and stable from the time buffer memory is
allocated to the time it is freed. The Buffer class, on the other hand,
becomes transient, is created on demand when an application requires a
buffer, is given to a request, and is deleted when the request
completes.
Buffer and BufferMemory don't need to be copied, so their copy
constructor and assignment operators are deleted.

Applications often have to map requests queued to a camera to external
resources. To make this easy, add a 64-bit integer cookie to the Request

libcamera guarantees that requests complete in sequence. This
requirement is currently pushed down to pipeline handlers. Three out of
four of our pipeline handlers implement that requirement based on the
sole assumption that buffers will always complete in sequeuence, while
the IPU3 pipeline handler implements a more complex logic.
It turns out that the logic can be moved to the base PipelineHandler
class with support from the Request class. Do so to simplify the
pipeline handlers.

For a historical reason that isn't fully understood, the request

The SlotBase implementation stores the receiver object pointer as a void
pointer internally. The pointer is then cast back to an Object pointer
when the receiver object class derives from Object. When the receiver is
an object that inherits from both the Object class and other classes,
the Object data members may not be stored at the beginning of the object
memory. The cast back to an Object pointer is thus incorrect.
Fix this by casting the receiver object pointer to an Object pointer
where the type of the receiver object is known, and pass it along with
the receiver void pointer to the SlotBase class. The SlotBase class
stores both pointers internally, and doesn't need the isObject_ field
anymore as the same information is obtained from checking if the Object
pointer is null.
To avoid confusing the two pointers, use the same naming scheme through
the whole implementation: "obj" points to a receiver object as an
unknown type, and "object" to the receiver object cast to an Object. The
latter is null when the receiver object doesn't inherit from the Object
class.
To further clarify the code, remove direct access to the SlotBase "obj"
and "object" fields as much as possible. They are replaced by two new
methods :
- SlotBase::disconnect() to disconnect a signal from the slot's receiver
object
- SlotBase::match() to test if an object pointer matches the slot
The match() method is a template method with a specialisation for the
Object type, to compare either the obj or the object pointer depending
on the type of the parameter. This is required as the Object destructor
calls the SignalBase::disconnect() method for signal connected to the
object, and passes a pointer to Object to that method, while the actual
object may have a different address due to the issue explained above.
The pointer must thus be compared with the stored Object pointer in that
case, not to the pointer to the receiver object.

Commit b817bcec6b53 ("libcamera: Auto generate version information")
generates version information in order to automatically include it
various locations (Sphinx and Doxygen documentation, libcamera::version
variable available at runtime, and version.h available at compile time).
Unfortunately this causes lots of unnecessary rebuilds when modifying
the git tree state, which hinders development.
The problem is caused by the generated version.h being listed as a
dependency for the whole libcamera. This is required as meson (to the
best of my knowledge) doesn't provide a way to explicitly specify the
dependency of a single object file (camera_manager.o in this case, as
camera_manager.cpp is the only consumer of the generated version string)
on the custom target used to generate version.h. The dependency can't be
automatically detected at build time, like dependencies on normal
headers that are generated by parsing the source, because the version.h
header may not exist yet. The build could then fail in a racy way.
This change attempts at solving the issue by generating a version.cpp
instead of a version.h to set the git-based version. This minimises the
number of files that need to be rebuild when then git tree state
changes, while retaining the main purpose of the original automatic
version generation, the ability to access the git-based version string
at runtime. We however lose the ability to access git-based version
information at build time in an application building against libcamera,
but there is no expected use case for this.
The version string is moved from the libcamera namespace to the
CameraManager class in order to avoid including version.h inside
libcamera (in version.cpp and in camera_manager.cpp), which would create
dependencies causing more rebuild steps, as described above.
On the other hand, major, minor and patch level version numbers are
useful at build time. This commit changes the generation of version.h in
order to add three macros named LIBCAMERA_VERSION_MAJOR,
LIBCAMERA_VERSION_MINOR and LIBCAMERA_VERSION_PATCH for this purpose.
version.h is not included by any other libcamera header or source file,
and thus doesn't force a rebuild of the library.
The Sphinx and Doxygen documentation keep their git-based version
information, which is set during the configuration of the build and then
doesn't track git commits. We may want to investigate how to improve
this, but given that git-based version for the documentation has very
few use cases outside of tagging nightly builds, this isn't considered
an issue at the moment.
The documentation install directory now uses the base version string, in
order to avoid increasing the number of documentation directories
needlessly. This shouldn't cause any issue as the API should not change
without a change to the version number.
The version number generation and handling code now also standardises
the version variables to not start with a 'v' prefix in meson, in order
to simplify their handling. The prefix is added when generating the
relevant files.
Note that we go back to specifying the fallback version in the main
meson.build, in the call to the project() function. For the time being I
believe this should be a good compromise to avoid unnecessary
recompilation, and moving the fallback version to a different file for
tarball releases can be built on top of this.
