libcamera uses pixel format FourCC and modifier values from DRM. This
requires inclusion of drm_fourcc.h, creating a dependency on a header
that is packaged differently between distributions, and causing possible
issues with third-party applications.
Define constants for the supported pixel formats in the new formats.h
public API header, in order to remove the dependency on drm_fourcc.h.
The header is generated by a Python script from a list of supported
formats. The numerical values for the FourCC and modifier are extracted
from drm_fourcc.h by the script, ensuring that numerical values are not
inadvertently modified and preserving the direct interoperability.
The pixel formats constants can't be generated solely from drm_fourcc.h,
as that header defines FourCC values and modifier values, but doesn't
list the valid combinations. The supported formats are thus stored in a
YAML file, which contains the FourCC and optional modifier for each
supported format. We may later extend the YAML file to include formats
documentation, and possibly formats metadata to populate the
pixelFormatInfo map (in formats.cpp) automatically.
Now that two formats.h header are present (one in include/libcamera/ and
one in include/libcamera/internal/), we need to explicitly qualify the
Doxygen \file directive with a path.

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.
Fix the problem by moving the IPA headers to include/libcamera/ipa/.

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.

buffers
The FrameBuffer interface is based on the idea that all buffers are
allocated externally to libcamera and are only used by it. This is meant
to create a simpler API centered around usage of buffers, regardless of
where they come from.
Linux however lacks a centralized allocator at the moment, and not all
users of libcamera are expected to use another device that could provide
suitable buffers for the camera. This patch thus adds a helper class to
allocate buffers internally in libcamera, in a way that matches the
needs of the FrameBuffer-based API.

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.

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}/.

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.

Generate a version string, and provide a global string object which
allows applications to interrogate the current libcamera version
information.
The version header is automatically updated by meson on each build.
The string roughly follows the semver [0] conventions of
major.minor.patch-label as a value.
[0] https://semver.org/
A script (utils/gen-version.sh) is provided which is modelled upon the
processing from autoconf's git-version-gen. The gen-version.sh script
will look for tags in the form vX.Y as starting points for the version
string. While the repository does not have any matching tags, v0.0 will
be assumed, resulting in versions with both major and minor being set to
'0', and the patch count resulting from the number of patches in the
history to that point.
Finally, a uniquely identifying shortened hash is provided from git:
v0.0.509+0ec0edf7

When a signal is connected to a member function slot, the slot is not
disconnected when the slot object is deleted. This can lead to calling a
member function of a deleted object if the signal isn't disconnected
manually by the slot object's destructor.
Make signal handling easier by implementing a base Object class that
tracks all connected signals and disconnects from them automatically
when the object is deleted, using template specialization resolution in
the Signal class.
As inheriting from the Object class may to a too harsh requirement for
Signal usage in applications, keep the existing behaviour working if the
slot doesn't inherit from the Object class. We may reconsider this later
and require all slot objects to inherit from the Object class.
