- 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
- "gsystem-local-alloc.h" and <gio/gio.h> are already included via
"nm-default.h". No need to include them separately.
- include "nm-macros-internal.h" via "nm-default.h" and drop all
explict includes.
- in the modified files, ensure that we always include "config.h"
and "nm-default.h" first. As second, include the header file
for the current source file (if applicable). Then follow external
includes and finally internal nm includes.
- include nm headers inside source code files with quotes
- internal header files don't need to include default headers.
They can savely assume that "nm-default.h" is already included
and with it glib, nm-glib.h, nm-macros-internal.h, etc.
API should be added with "Since:" of the next release on the same branch.
That means, new API on 1.1 branch (development), should be "Since: 1.2"
and new API on 1.0 branch (stable) will be "Since: 1.0.x". Similarly, new
API on master is NM_AVAILABLE_IN_1_2 and will be added with the linker
version libnl_1_2 -- never the versions of minor releases.
It is also strongly advised that for the 1.0 branch, we only add API
that was previously formerly added on master. IOW, that we only do true
backports of API that already exists on master.
API that gets backported, must also be added to master via NM_BACKPORT_SYMBOL().
That gives ABI compatibility and an application that was build against 1.0.x
will work with 1.y.z version (y > 0) without need for recompiling -- provided
that 1.y.z also contains that API.
There is one important caveat: if a major branch (e.g. current master) has a
linker section of backported APIs (e.g. libnm_1_0_6), we must do the minor release
(1.0.6) before the next major release (1.2). The reason is that after the major
release, the linker section (libnm_1_0_6) must not be extended and thus
the minor release (1.0.6) must be already released at that point.
In general, users should avoid using backported API because it limits
the ability to upgrade to arbitrary later versions. But together with the
previous point (that we only backport API to minor releases), a user that
uses backported API can be sure that a 1.y.z version is ABI compatible with
1.0.x, if the 1.y.z release date was after the release date of 1.0.x.
This reverts commit 02a136682c.
Backport to 1.0.6 the following symbols:
- nm_device_wifi_request_scan_options
- nm_device_wifi_request_scan_options_async

The localization headers are now included via "nm-default.h".
Also fixes several places, where we wrongly included <glib/gi18n-lib.h>
instead of <glib/gi18n.h>. For example under "clients/" directory.
Rather than randomly including one or more of <glib.h>,
<glib-object.h>, and <gio/gio.h> everywhere (and forgetting to include
"nm-glib-compat.h" most of the time), rename nm-glib-compat.h to
nm-glib.h, include <gio/gio.h> from there, and then change all .c
files in NM to include "nm-glib.h" rather than including the glib
headers directly.
(Public headers files still have to include the real glib headers,
since nm-glib.h isn't installed...)
Also, remove glib includes from header files that are already
including a base object header file (which must itself already include
the glib headers).
Libraries need to include <gi18n-lib.h>, not <gi18n.h>, so that _()
will get defined to "dgettext (GETTEXT_DOMAIN, string)" rather than
"gettext (string)" (which will use the program's default domain, which
works fine for programs in the NetworkManager tree, but not for
external users). Likewise, we need to call bindtextdomain() so that
gettext can find the translations if the library is installed in a
different prefix from the program using it (and
bind_textdomain_codeset(), so it will know the translations are in
UTF-8 even if the locale isn't).
(The fact that no one noticed this was broken before is because the
libraries didn't really start returning useful translated strings much
until 0.9.10, and none of the out-of-tree clients have been updated to
actually show those strings to users yet.)
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.)
As with the settings, each device type was defining its own error
type, containing either redundant or non-useful error codes. Drop all
of the subtype-specific errors, and reduce things to just
NM_DEVICE_ERROR_FAILED, NM_DEVICE_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_CONNECTION, and
NM_DEVICE_ERROR_INVALID_CONNECTION.
The device-type-specific errors were only returned from their
nm_device_connection_compatible() implementations, so this is also a
good opportunity to simplify those, by moving duplicated functionality
into the base NMDevice implementation, and then allowing the
subclasses to assume that the connection has already been validated in
their own code. Most of the implementations now just check that the
connection has the correct type for the device (which can't be done at
the NMDevice level since some device types (eg, Ethernet) support
multiple connection types.)
Also, make sure that all of the error messages are localized.
In some cases, code may look at the value of an array-valued property
during object initialization, before NMObject has set it to its actual
initial value. So ensure that we initialize all such properties to an
empty array, rather than leaving them NULL.
Also fix another bug in NMClient that could result in
priv->active_connections being NULL during certain signal emissions,
and fix nm_client_get_active_connections() to not return NULL when NM
was not running.
Make enum- and flags-valued properties use GParamSpecEnum and
GParamSpecFlags, for better introspectability/bindability.
This requires no changes outside libnm-core/libnm since the expected
data size is still the same with g_object_get()/g_object_set(), and
GLib will internally convert between int/uint and enum/flags GValues
when using g_object_get_property()/g_object_set_property().
Add the missing variant in most places in the API where previously
there was either only a synchronous version or only an asynchronous
version.
There is not yet a synchronous nm_client_activate_connection(),
nm_client_add_and_activate_connection(), or
nm_remote_settings_add_connection(), because the existing async code
depends on waiting for other asynchronous events, so making them run
synchronously is slightly more complicated. But these APIs can be
added later.
Make synchronous APIs take GCancellables, and make asynchronous APIs
use GAsyncReadyCallbacks and have names ending in "_async", with
"_finish" functions to retrieve the results.
Also, make nm_client_activate_connection_finish(),
nm_client_add_and_activate_finish(), and
nm_remote_settings_add_connection_finish() be (transfer full) rather
than (transfer none), because the refcounting semantics become
slightly confusing in some edge cases otherwise.
Port libnm-core/libnm to GDBus.
The NetworkManager daemon continues to use dbus-glib; the
previously-added connection hash/variant conversion methods are now
moved to NetworkManagerUtils (along with a few other utilities that
are now only needed by the daemon code).
Add _nm_object_class_add_interface(), for declaring that a class
implements a particular interface, and then have NMObject create the
corresponding proxies itself. (The subclass can get a copy with
_nm_object_get_proxy() if it needs it for something).
(In GDBus, creating a proxy is a heavier operation than in dbus-glib,
so we'll need to create the proxies asynchronously. Moving the
creation to NMObject makes that easier since we can do it as part
of the existing init/init_async.)
libnm functions that return GPtrArrays of objects had a rule that if
the array was empty, they would return NULL rather than a 0-length
array. As it turns out, this is just a nuisance to clients, since in
most places the code for the non-empty case would end up doing the
right thing for the empty case as well (and where it doesn't, we can
check "array->len == 0" just as easily as "array == NULL"). So just
return the 0-length array instead.
Use G_TYPE_PTR_ARRAY for GPtrArray-of-NMObject-valued properties,
because it has better introspection/bindings support.
As with the strdict change in libnm-core, we need to manually copy the
array in get_property() implementations, to preserve the standard
semantics that get_property() returns a copy, not the internal array.
(This patch also changes those properties so that they are always
non-NULL until dispose(); previously some of them could be either NULL
or 0-length at different times.)
Make all mac-address properties (including NMSettingBluetooth:bdaddr,
NMSettingOlpcMesh:dhcp-anycast-addr, and NMSettingWireless:bssid) be
strings, using _nm_setting_class_transform_property() to handle
translating to/from binary form when dealing with D-Bus.
Update everything accordingly for the change, and also add a test for
transformed setting properties to test-general.
Add nm_utils_hwaddr_matches(), for comparing hardware addresses for
equality, allowing either binary or ASCII hardware addresses to be
passed, and handling the special rules for InfiniBand hardware
addresses automatically. Update code to use it.
Include <linux/if_ether.h> and <linux/if_infiniband.h> from
nm-utils.h, to get ETH_ALEN and INFINIBAND_ALEN, and remove those
includes (as well as <net/ethernet.h> and <netinet/ether.h>, and
various headers that had been included to get the ARPHRD_* constants)
from other files where they're not needed now.
Lots of old code used struct ether_addr to store hardware addresses,
and ether_aton() to parse them, but more recent code generally uses
guint8 arrays, and the nm_utils_hwaddr_* methods, to be able to share
code between ETH_ALEN and INFINIBAND_ALEN cases. So update the old
code to match the new. (In many places, this ends up getting rid of
casts between struct ether_addr and guint8* anyway.)
(Also, in some places, variables were switched from struct ether_addr
to guint8[] a while back, but some code still used "&" when referring
to them even though that's unnecessary now. Clean that up.)
Remove _nm_object_ensure_inited(), etc; objects that implement
GInitable are now mandatory-to-init().
Remove constructor() implementations that sometimes return NULL; do
all the relevant checking in init() instead.
Make nm_client_new() and nm_remote_settings_new() take a GCancellable
and a GError**.
Rather than having each object type override constructed() to call
_nm_object_register_properties(), have NMObject call a virtual method
on the subclass to ask it to register them.
Move some code around in nm-client.c and nm-object.c so that all
D-Bus-related initialization happens in init_dbus(), and
non-D-Bus-related stuff stays in construct().
(This simplifies the next commit.)
This commit begins creating the new "libnm", which will replace
libnm-util and libnm-glib.
The main reason for the libnm-util/libnm-glib split is that the daemon
needs to link to libnm-util (to get NMSettings, NMConnection, etc),
but can't link to libnm-glib (because it uses many of the same type
names as the NetworkManager daemon. eg, NMDevice). So the daemon links
to only libnm-util, but basically all clients link to both.
With libnm, there will be only a single client-visible library, and
NetworkManager will internally link against a private "libnm-core"
containing the parts that used to be in libnm-util.
(The "libnm-core" parts still need to be in their own directory so
that the daemon can see those header files without also seeing the
ones in libnm/ that conflict with its own headers.)
