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.

2019-10-04libcamera: controls: Improve the API towards applicationsLaurent Pinchart
Rework the control-related classes to improve the API towards applications. The goal is to enable writing code similar to Request *req = ...; ControlList &controls = req->controls(); controls->set(controls::AwbEnable, false); controls->set(controls::ManualExposure, 1000); ... int32_t exposure = controls->get(controls::ManualExposure); with the get and set operations ensuring type safety for the control values. This is achieved by creating the following classes: - Control defines controls and is the main way to reference a control. It is a template class to allow methods using it to refer to the control type. - ControlId is the base class of Control. It stores the control ID, name and type, and can be used in contexts where a control needs to be referenced regardless of its type (for instance in lists of controls). This class replaces ControlIdentifier. - ControlValue is kept as-is. The ControlList class now exposes two template get() and set() methods that replace the operator[]. They ensure type safety by infering the value type from the Control reference that they receive. The main way to refer to a control is now through the Control class, and optionally through its base ControlId class. The ControlId enumeration is removed, replaced by a list of global Control instances. Numerical control IDs are turned into macros, and are still exposed as they are required to communicate with IPAs (especially to deserialise control lists). They should however not be used by applications. Auto-generation of header and source files is removed for now to keep the change simple. It will be added back in the future in a more elaborate form.

2019-08-19libcamera: camera_manager: Construct CameraManager instances manuallyLaurent Pinchart
The CameraManager class is not supposed to be instantiated multiple times, which led to a singleton implementation. This requires a global instance of the CameraManager, which is destroyed when the global destructors are executed. Relying on global instances causes issues with cleanup, as the order in which the global destructors are run can't be controlled. In particular, the Android camera HAL implementation ends up destroying the CameraHalManager after the CameraManager, which leads to use-after-free problems. To solve this, remove the CameraManager::instance() method and make the CameraManager class instantiable directly. Multiple instances are still not allowed, and this is enforced by storing the instance pointer internally to be checked when an instance is created.

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).

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.

2019-07-11libcamera: signal: Fix Object handling in multiple inheritance casesLaurent Pinchart
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.
