- All internal source files (except "examples", which are not internal)
should include "config.h" first. As also all internal source
files should include "nm-default.h", let "config.h" be included
by "nm-default.h" and include "nm-default.h" as first in every
source file.
We already wanted to include "nm-default.h" before other headers
because it might contains some fixes (like "nm-glib.h" compatibility)
that is required first.
- After including "nm-default.h", we optinally allow for including the
corresponding header file for the source file at hand. The idea
is to ensure that each header file is self contained.
- Don't include "config.h" or "nm-default.h" in any header file
(except "nm-sd-adapt.h"). Public headers anyway must not include
these headers, and internal headers are never included after
"nm-default.h", as of the first previous point.
- Include all internal headers with quotes instead of angle brackets.
In practice it doesn't matter, because in our public headers we must
include other headers with angle brackets. As we use our public
headers also to compile our interal source files, effectively the
result must be the same. Still do it for consistency.
- Except for <config.h> itself. Include it with angle brackets as suggested by
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Configuration-Headers
config.h should be included from every .c file, and it should be
included before any other include. Fix that.
(As a side effect of how I did this, this also changes us to
consistently use "config.h" rather than <config.h>. To the extent that
it matters [which is not much], quotes are more correct anyway, since
we're talking about a file in our own build tree, not a system
include.)
- Remove list of authors from files that had them; these serve no
purpose except to quickly get out of date (and were only used in
libnm-util and not libnm-glib anyway).
- Just say "Copyright", not "(C) Copyright" or "Copyright (C)"
- Put copyright statement after the license, not before
- Remove "NetworkManager - Network link manager" from the few files
that contained it, and "libnm_glib -- Access network status &
information from glib applications" from the many files that
contained it.
- Remove vim modeline from nm-device-olpc-mesh.[ch], add emacs modeline
to files that were missing it.
Remove all remaining GParamSpec name and blurb strings (and fix
indentation while we're there), and add G_PARAM_STATIC_STRINGS to all
paramspecs that were lacking it.
When using a private connection, we need to use dbus_g_proxy_new_for_peer()
because the bus isn't involved. Since many parts of libnm-glib create a
proxy for their corresponding remote object, consolidate the proxy creation
logic.
A later patch will add logic to use a private connection versus a bus-based
one.
We need to do _nm_object_ensure_inited() /
_nm_remote_settings_ensure_inited() from the get_property()
implementations; in most cases, get_property() just calls another
accessor method (which will call _nm_object_ensure_inited()), but in a
few places, it reads priv->whatever directly, so we need to make sure
that it's valid.
Implement GInitable and GAsyncInitable in NMObject, with
implementations that synchronously or asynchonously load all
properties, and change _nm_object_ensure_inited() to run
g_initable_init().
Update the object/object-array property handling to initialize the
objects after creating them (synchronously or asynchronously,
according to the situation), so that they will have all of their
properties preloaded before they are ever visible to the caller.
Move the non-blocking/non-failable parts of various objects'
constructor() methods to constructed(), and move the blocking/failable
parts to init(), and implement init_async() methods with non-blocking
versions of the blocking methods.
Make nm_device_new() and nm_client_new() call
_nm_object_ensure_inited(), to preserve the behaviour formerly
enforced by their construct() methods, that properties are guaranteed
to be initialized before any signals involving them are emitted.
Rather than having every property getter method have code to fetch
that specific property's value, just call the new
_nm_object_ensure_inited() (which makes sure that we've read all the
property values on the object at least once), and then return the
cached value. (After we've read the initial property values, the
PropertiesChanged signal handler will ensure that the values are kept
up to date, so we can always just return cached property values after
that point.)
This then lets us get rid of _nm_object_get_property() and its
wrappers.
Rename _nm_object_handle_properties_changed(), etc, to be about
properties in general, rather than just property changes.
Interpret func==NULL in NMPropertiesInfo as meaning "use
_nm_object_demarshal_generic", and then reorder the fields so that you
can just leave that field out in the declarations when it's NULL.
Add a way to register properties that exist in D-Bus but aren't
tracked by the NMObjects, and use that for NMDevice's D-Bus Ip4Address
property, replacing the existing hack.
Also add a few other missing properties noticed along the way.
Add the necessary annotations (the mininum required, that is those
on return values. NULL parameters or container types may require
more), and the Autotools stuff to get a NetworkManager GIR for
libnm-util and a NMClient for libnm-glib.
