From 79c34d58c7bb005efabbb960f66b9dfd11cb36ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Laurent Pinchart Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2020 03:08:26 +0300 Subject: libcamera: Add a base class to implement the d-pointer design pattern MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The d-pointer design patterns helps creating public classes that can be extended without breaking their ABI. To facilitate usage of the pattern in libcamera, create a base Extensible class with associated macros.
