"libnm-core/" is rather complicated. It provides a static library that
is linked into libnm.so and NetworkManager. It also contains public
headers (like "nm-setting.h") which are part of public libnm API.
Then we have helper libraries ("libnm-core/nm-libnm-core-*/") which
only rely on public API of libnm-core, but are themself static
libraries that can be used by anybody who uses libnm-core. And
"libnm-core/nm-libnm-core-intern" is used by libnm-core itself.
Move "libnm-core/" to "src/". But also split it in different
directories so that they have a clearer purpose.
The goal is to have a flat directory hierarchy. The "src/libnm-core*/"
directories correspond to the different modules (static libraries and set
of headers that we have). We have different kinds of such modules because
of how we combine various code together. The directory layout now reflects
this.
Qt dependencies have been moved to the main build file where the
rest of dependencies are located. This makes it easier to find them.
The included directories has also reviewed and removed the
unnecessary ones.
We no longer add these. If you use Emacs, configure it yourself.
Also, due to our "smart-tab" usage the editor anyway does a subpar
job handling our tabs. However, on the upside every user can choose
whatever tab-width he/she prefers. If "smart-tabs" are used properly
(like we do), every tab-width will work.
No manual changes, just ran commands:
F=($(git grep -l -e '-\*-'))
sed '1 { /\/\* *-\*- *[mM]ode.*\*\/$/d }' -i "${F[@]}"
sed '1,4 { /^\(#\|--\|dnl\) *-\*- [mM]ode/d }' -i "${F[@]}"
Check remaining lines with:
git grep -e '-\*-'
The ultimate purpose of this is to cleanup our files and eventually use
SPDX license identifiers. For that, first get rid of the boilerplate lines.
For the most part, we only have one main .gitignore file.
There were a few nested files, merge them into the main file.
I find it better to have only one gitignore file, otherwise the
list of ignored files is spread out through the working directory.
In practice, this should only matter when there are multiple
header files with the same name. That is something we try
to avoid already, by giving headers a distinct name.
When building NetworkManager itself, we clearly want to use
double-quotes for including our own headers.
But we also want to do that in our public headers. For example:
./a.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <nm-1.h>
void main() {
printf ("INCLUDED %s/nm-2.h\n", SYMB);
}
./1/nm-1.h
#include <nm-2.h>
./1/nm-2.h
#define SYMB "1"
./2/nm-2.h
#define SYMB "2"
$ cc -I./2 -I./1 ./a.c
$ ./a.out
INCLUDED 2/nm-2.h
Exceptions to this are
- headers in "shared/nm-utils" that include <NetworkManager.h>. These
headers are copied into projects and hence used like headers owned by
those projects.
- examples/C
"NetworkManager.h"'s name (and non-standard capitalization) suggest
that it's some sort of high-level super-important header, but it's
really just low-level D-Bus stuff. Rename it to "nm-dbus-interface.h"
and likewise "NetworkManagerVPN.h" to "nm-vpn-dbus-interface.h"
Most D-Bus interface name macros used "INTERFACE" in their name (eg,
NM_DBUS_INTERFACE), but a few used "IFACE" instead (eg,
NM_DBUS_IFACE_SETTINGS). Make them consistent.
Since the API has not changed at this point, this is mostly just a
matter of updating Makefiles, and changing references to the library
name in comments.
NetworkManager cannot link to libnm due to the duplicated type/symbol
names. So it links to libnm-core.la directly, which means that
NetworkManager gets a separate copy of that code from libnm.so.
Everything else links to libnm.
NetworkManager.h, NetworkManagerVPN.h, and nm-version.h are part of
the libnm-util API, so move them to libnm-util.
include/ still contains headers that are strictly NM-internal (eg,
nm-glib-compat.h).
The function toStdString() is only available when QT was
compiled with STL support. The configure script does
not check STL support and might build the QT examples
even if toStdString() is not available.
Fix this, by not using the function.
This fixes the previous commit f73e3669b3
that I pushed accidentally.

Unfortunately, $(AM_CPPFLAGS) gets overridden by per-target _CPPFLAGS
variables, which $(INCLUDES) did not, so this requires some additional
changes.
In most places, I have just gotten rid of the per-target _CPPFLAGS
variables; in directories with a single target, the per-target
variable is unnecessary, and in directories with multiple targets, the
per-target variable is often undesirable, since it forces some files
to be compiled twice, even though there ends up being no difference
between the two files.
- the first uses dbus-glib and D-Bus "NameOwnerChanged" signal directly
- the second uses GIO's g_bus_watch_name()
- the third uses Qt and QDBusServiceWatcher class
