2021-06-25libcamera/base: Move extended base functionalityKieran Bingham
Move the functionality for the following components to the new base support library: - BoundMethod - EventDispatcher - EventDispatcherPoll - Log - Message - Object - Signal - Semaphore - Thread - Timer While it would be preferable to see these split to move one component per commit, these components are all interdependent upon each other, which leaves us with one big change performing the move for all of them.

2020-05-19libcamera: file_descriptor: Implement move semantics for constructorLaurent Pinchart
The FileDescriptor class, when constructed from a numerical file descriptor, duplicates the file descriptor and takes ownership of the copy. The caller has to close the original file descriptor manually if needed. This is inefficient as the dup() and close() calls could be avoided, but can also lead to resource leakage, as recently shown by commit 353fc4c22322 ("libcamera: v4l2_videodevice: Fix dangling file descriptor"). In an attempt to solve this problem, implement move semantics for the FileDescriptor constructor. The constructor taking a numerical file descriptor is split in two variants: - A "fd copy" constructor that takes a const lvalue reference to a numerical file descriptor and duplicates it (corresponding to the current behaviour). - A "fd move" constructor that takes a rvalue reference to a numerical file descriptor and takes ownership of it.

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/.

2020-01-12libcamera: Add FileDescriptor to help pass numerical fds aroundNiklas Söderlund
Add a helper to make it easier to pass file descriptors around. The helper class duplicates the fd which decouples it from the original fd which could be closed by its owner while the new FileDescriptor remains valid.
