2021-02-05libcamera: camera_sensor: Restrict sensor info to raw sensorsLaurent Pinchart
YUV sensors don't provide the necessary information to fill CameraSensorInfo, as they include an ISP and provide a higher-level API that doesn't always expose low-level information. The CameraSensor class makes low-level V4L2 controls mandatory for all sensors, which prevents usage of YUV sensors with the simple pipeline handler. Make CameraSensor::sensorInfo() available for raw sensors only. This won't introduce any regression in pipeline handlers that currently use the sensorInfo() function as they all operate with raw sensors, and won't be a limitation for the simple pipeline handler as well as it doesn't use sensor info. If part of the sensor info (such as the active pixel array size for instance) becomes useful to expose for YUV sensors in the future, the sensorInfo() function can be extended to report that information only and skip data that is only available for raw sensors.

The details namespaces in libcamera are used to hide implementation details, and should thus be excluded from documentation generation. This is done incorrectly by specifying the exclusion pattern "*::details::*" which will ignore all namespaces and types in any details namespace, but won't ignore functions.

The IPA headers are installed into $prefix/include/libcamera/ipa/, but are located in the source tree in include/ipa/. This requires files within libcamera to include them with #include <ipa/foo.h> while a third party IPA would need to use #include <libcamera/ipa/foo.h> Not only is this inconsistent, it can create issues later if IPA headers need to include each other, as the first form of include directive wouldn't be valid once the headers are installed.

2020-05-16libcamera: Move internal headers to include/libcamera/internal/Laurent Pinchart
The libcamera internal headers are located in src/libcamera/include/. The directory is added to the compiler headers search path with a meson include_directories() directive, and internal headers are included with (e.g. for the internal semaphore.h header) #include "semaphore.h" All was well, until libcxx decided to implement the C++20 synchronization library. The __threading_support header gained a #include <semaphore.h> to include the pthread's semaphore support. As include_directories() adds src/libcamera/include/ to the compiler search path with -I, the internal semaphore.h is included instead of the pthread version. Needless to say, the compiler isn't happy. Three options have been considered to fix this issue: - Use -iquote instead of -I. The -iquote option instructs gcc to only consider the header search path for headers included with the "" version. Meson unfortunately doesn't support this option. - Rename the internal semaphore.h header. This was deemed to be the beginning of a long whack-a-mole game, where namespace clashes with system libraries would appear over time (possibly dependent on particular system configurations) and would need to be constantly fixed. - Move the internal headers to another directory to create a unique namespace through path components. This causes lots of churn in all the existing source files through the all project. The first option would be best, but isn't available to us due to missing support in meson. Even if -iquote support was added, we would need to fix the problem before a new version of meson containing the required support would be released. The third option is thus the only practical solution available. Bite the bullet, and do it, moving headers to include/libcamera/internal/.

In an attempt to clarify the license terms of all files in the libcamera project, the build system files deserve particular attention. While they describe how the binaries are created, they are not themselves transformed into any part of binary distributions of the software, and thus don't influence the copyright on the binary packages. They are however subject to copyright, and thus influence the distribution terms of the source packages. Most of the meson.build files would not meet the threshold of originality criteria required for copyright protection. Some of the more complex meson.build files may be eligible for copyright protection. To avoid any ambiguity and uncertainty, state our intent to not assert copyrights on the build system files by putting them in the public domain with the CC0-1.0 license.

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.
