2020-01-23libcamera: camera_manager: Move private data members to private implementationLaurent Pinchart
Use the d-pointer idiom ([1], [2]) to hide the private data members from the CameraManager class interface. This will ease maintaining ABI compatibility, and prepares for the implementation of the CameraManager class threading model.

2020-01-14meson.build: Switch to C++14Laurent Pinchart
C++14 is a minor release that doesn't introduce major new concepts or paradigms compared to C++11, but brings two useful changes for us: - std::make_unique allows dropping our custom implementation in utils. - Functions returning constexpr are not assumed to be const anymore, which is needed to create a standard-conformant span implementation. All the g++ and clang++ versions we support and test (g++-5 onwards and clang++6 onwards) support C++14. However, due to a defect in the original C++14 specification, solved in N4387 ([1]), compilation would fail on g++-5 due to the use of std::map::emplace() with a non-copyable value type. It turns out we can easily fix it by switching to the explicit piecewise emplace() overload. There is thus really nothing holding back the switch. Let's do it, and update the coding style accordingly.

2020-01-07libcamera: bound_method: Manage BoundMethodPack through std::shared_ptrLaurent Pinchart
The bound method arguments pack will need to be accessed by the method invoker in order to retrieve the method return value when using a blocking connection type. We thus can't delete the pack unconditionally in the bound method target thread. We also can't delete it unconditionally in the invoker's thread, as for queued connections the pack will be used in the target thread after the invoker completes. This shows that ownership of the arguments pack is shared between two contexts. As a result, manage it using std::shared_ptr<>.

Switch IPA communication to the plain C API. As the IPAInterface class is easier to use for pipeline handlers than a plain C API, retain it and add an IPAContextWrapper that translate between the C++ and the C APIs. On the IPA module side usage of IPAInterface may be desired for IPAs implemented in C++ that want to link to libcamera. For those IPAs, a new IPAInterfaceWrapper helper class is introduced to wrap the IPAInterface implemented internally by the IPA module into an ipa_context, ipa_context_ops and ipa_callback_ops.

2019-10-23Documentation: coding-style: Document usage of C compatibility headersLaurent Pinchart
The C++ standard defines a set of C++ standard library headers, and for some of them, defines C compatibility headers. The former have a name of the form <cxxx> while the later are named <xxx.h>. The C++ headers declare names in the std namespace, and may declare the same names in the global namespace. The C compatibility headers declare names in the global namespace, and may declare the same names in the std namespace. We want to standardise on one set of headers through libcamera, and don't want to rely on optional behaviour. We can thus either use the C++ headers with an explicit std:: namespace qualifier through the code, or the C headers without the qualifier. Both set of headers are defined by the C++ standard, and are thus valid choices. After weighing pros and cons, we have decided to use the C compatibility headers, as nobody wanted to write std::uint32_t. Document this decision.

2019-10-05libcamera: controls: Auto-generate control_ids.h and control_ids.cppLaurent Pinchart
Bring back auto-generation of control ids. In this version, both the header and the source files are generated from a single YAML file that stores all control definitions. This allows centralising controls in a single file, while the previous version required keeping both declarations (in a header) and documentation (in a the source) in sync manually. Using YAML as a format to store control definitions is a trade-off between ease of use (there are many YAML parsers available) and simplicity (XML was considered, but would have lead to more complex processing). A new build time dependency is added on python3-yaml, which should be available as a package in all distributions and build environments. The YAML format is likely to change over time as we improve documentation of controls, the first version simply copies the information currently available. Future improvements should also include a YAML schema to validate the YAML source file.

2019-09-15libcamera: Move ipa includes to the same level as libcameraLaurent Pinchart
The ipa includes are located in include/libcamera/ipa/. This gives an incorrect impression that they are a sub-part of the rest of the libcamera API, while they are the API towards the IPA the same way that include/libcamera/ contains the API towards applications. To clarify this, move them to include/ipa/. The IPA headers are however still part of libcamera, so installing them to ${prefix}/include/ipa/ would make little sense. To fix this, move the application facing API to ${prefix}/include/libcamera/libcamera/ when installed, and the IPA to ${prefix}/include/libcamera/ipa/. When major versions of libcamera will be released, they could then be installed side by side in ${prefix}/include/libcamera-${version}/.

2019-07-09libcamera: Rework automatic version generation to avoid rebuildsLaurent Pinchart
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.
