move the code to gimpparamspecs-body.c and include it from both app/
and libgimp/. They are the same apart from a minor difference which we
Also share the entire libgimp/gimpparamspecs.h header with the core.
which looks much like gimpconfig-params.h and contains macros
(e.g. GIMP_PROC_ARG_BOOLEAN() and GIMP_PROC_VAL_BOOLEAN()) for all
GimpProcedure argument and return value types supported by the
protocol, and makes the boilerplate of setting up a procedure more
readable and much less indented.
This file is C-only and not introspected.
which are GimpProcedure subclasses with API to register as load/save
handlers and their own kind of run functions that get their standard
arguments passed directly instead of packed into a GimpValueArray.
They also register their standard arguments themselves, which removes
quite some boilerplate from load/save plug-ins.
Remove gimpprocedure-private.[ch] because install() and uninstall()
are now virtual functions of GimpProcedure.
While doing so, better break the various source categories in libgimp/.
Otherwise we were duplicating some of the header list, hence we forgot
to install some of the headers.
Autotools were not able to recognize that libgimp-@GIMP_API_VERSION@.la
and ../libgimp/libgimp-@GIMP_API_VERSION@.la were the same dependency.
Hence with multi-thread builds, GI scanner was not waiting for the lib
to be totally built then failed randomly. Make the path recognizable,
and do the same for libgimpui.
For other libgimp*, I still need to keep a more complicated relative
path, but since libgimp/ is the last processed folder, AFAIK it won't
make problems.
libgimp is anyway processed at the very end after all other libgimp*
were built. This way, it also fixes#3746, by removing the $(top_srcdir)
everywhere from introspected files, hence making the build work again
with older automake.
They only contain private functions and don't need to be installed or
included by gimp_pdb_headers.h.
The PDB generation part is done by adding a "lib_private" variable
that can be set on PDB groups which should not be public API; the rest
is manual Makefile fiddling.
Add gimplegacy-private.h to keep it separate from gimp-private.h.
The legacy code could now be removed and GimpPlugIn-ported plug-ins
would not notice.
The idea is that we already have a GimpProcedure object in libgimp
which has name, help, blurb, arguments, return values and everything,
so we really don't need a parallel API to query PDB procedures for
their properties.
- make run() a virtual function of GimpProcedure
- move GIMP_PDB_ERROR to GimpPDB
- GimpPDBProcedure is a trivial subblass which populates
GimpProcedure's members by querying the PDB.
- make "plug-in", "procedure-type" and "name" construct-only
properties of GimpProcedure.
This is all work in progress.
Also remove several functions which never made it to a GIMP release.
They were really meant as temporary anyway from the start, waiting for
the new API to be usable.
And GimpParam is not boxed anymore. This is made useless by the fact it
is not an introspected type now.
Recent commits broke the Python plug-ins again because the old API is
not introspected anymore. Of course, by release of GIMP 3, we should
probably remove this deprecated API from introspection. But first, we
have to figure out how and if the new API can be used in bindings.
- libgimpbase: change GPParam to transfer all information about the
GValues we use, in the same way done for GPParamDef. GPParam is now
different from GimpParam from libgimp, pointers can't be casted any
longer. The protocol is now completely GimpPDBArgType-free. Remove
gp_params_destroy() from the public API.
- libgimp: add API to convert between an array of GPParams and
GimpValueArray, the latter is now the new official API for dealing
with procedure arguments and return values, GimpParam is cruft (the
wire now talks with GimpPlugIn more directly than with the members
of GimpPlugInInfo, which need additional compat conversions).
- libgimp, app: rename gimpgpparamspecs.[ch] to simply
gimpgpparams.[ch] which is also more accurate because they now
contain GValue functions too. The code that used to live in
app/plug-in/plug-in-params.h is now completely in libgimp.
- app: contains no protocol compat code any longer, the only place
that uses GimpPDBArgType is the PDB query procedure implementation,
which also needs to change.
- app: change some forgotten int32 run-modes to enums.
- Change the wire protocol's GPProcInstall to transmit the entire
information needed for constructing all GParamSpecs we use, don't
use GimpPDBArgType in GPProcInstall but an enum private to the wire
protocol plus the GParamSpec's GType name. Bump the wire protocol
version.
- Add gimpgpparamspecs.[ch] in both app/plug-in/ and libgimp/ which
take care of converting between GPParamDef and GParamSpec. They
share code as far as possible.
- Change pluginrc writing and parsing to re-use GPParamDef and the
utility functions from gimpgpparamspecs.
- Remove gimp_pdb_compat_param_spec() from app/pdb/gimp-pdb-compat.[ch],
the entire core uses proper GParamSpecs from the wire protocol now,
the whole file will follow down the drain once we use a GValue
representation on the wire too.
- In gimp_plug_in_handle_proc_install(), change the "run-mode"
parameter to a GParamSpecEnum(GIMP_TYPE_RUN_MODE) (if it is not
already an enum). and change all places in app/ to treat it as an
enum value.
- plug-ins: fix cml-explorer to register correctly, a typo in
"run-mode" was never noticed until now.
- Add gimpgpcompat.[ch] in libgimp to deal with all the transforms
between old-style wire communication and using GParamSpec and
GValue, it contains some functions that are subject to change or
even removal in the next steps.
- Change the libgimp GimpProcedure and GimpPlugIn in many ways to be
able to actually install procedures the new way.
- plug-ins: change goat-exercise to completely use the new GimpPlugIn
and GimpProcedure API, look here to see how plug-ins will look in
the future, of course subject to change until this is finished.
- Next: changing GPParam to transmit all information about a GValue.
The new way of doing plug-ins:
- subclass GimpPlugIn in your plug-in
- implement its query() and run() methods, run() will move to a
new GimpProcedure class soon
- instead of MAIN(), say GIMP_MAIN(YOUR_PLUG_IN_TYPE)
Instead of keeping around a GimpPlugInInfo struct, libgimp will
create an instance of your plug-in class, keep it around during
the plug-in's lifetime, and call its virtual functions.
At first I thought these could be different namespaces, but actually
GObject Introspection parses files and can only use (AFAICS) the
namespace actually used in our C function, which is always `gimp_` (and
not `gimpbase_` or whatever.
So make the introspection at the root level, and it will include all
libgimp* libraries in one namespace, same as the C lib anyway. For now
only libgimp and libgimpbase as I am still testing.
Also I move the introspectable sources in their own file in order to
share the list between the library building Makefile and the GI
makefile because I can't find how to pass over variables otherwise.
The GimpDrawable abstraction is completely gone, GimpTile is now a
small struct in gimptilebackendplugin.c.
All tile handling code is now in GimpTileBackendPlugin, the backend
functions are simply calling gimp_tile_get() and gimp_tile_put()
directly.
In subdirs containing a generated foomarshal.h header, add the
generated sources to BUILT_SOURCES, so that they're generated
before the rest of the source files are built. Otherwise, since
there is no rule specifying the dependency between the rest of the
source files and foomarshal.h, and since foomarshal.h is not
checked into git (and hence doesn't exist when doing a clean
build), compilation of the said source files may fail if they're
built before foomarshal.h is generated.
Add new PDB group "drawable_edit" which has all procedures from the
"edit" group which are not cut/copy/paste.
The new group's procedures don't have opacity, paint_mode
etc. arguments but take them from the context instead. Unlike the old
gimp-edit-fill, gimp-drawable-edit-fill now uses the context's opacity
and paint_mode.
The new gimp-drawable-edit-gradient-fill procedure uses even more
context properties which are also newly added with this commit
(gradient_color_space, gradient_repeat_mode, gradient_reverse).
And some cleanup in context.pdb.
This is still WIP, nothing in the edit group is depcreated yet.
Last commit caused -xobjective-c to be passed during linking on
Mac, causing object files to be treated as source files. Add a
-xnone flag to AM_LDFLAGS, canceling the effect of -xobjective-c.
Additinally, add a -xobjective-c++ flag to AM_CXXFLAGS, so that we
can use Objective-C in C++ files on Mac, if we ever need to.
On Mac, pass -xobjective-c to the compiler through AM_CFLAGS, not
AM_CPPFLAGS, so that it's only used for C sources, and not C++
sources. In the latter case, it clashes with the -std=... flag,
spewing an error. Thanks, Partha :)
The enums have to be menually registered in pdb/enums-external.pl.
Currently supports enums from GEGL only.
Add enum GeglDistanceMetric as first external enum.
Update the dprod production of generated enum files to include
abbreviated value descriptions, as per the previous commits.
Add a comment for translators above the abbreviated descriptions,
specifying the full description they abbreviate.
to gimp_base_compat_enums_init() and move its prototype from
gimputils.h to gimpbase-private.h; it's not supposed to be
public API even though it's callable from the outside.
glib-genmarshal was rewritten in glib 2.53.4, and as of now (2.53.6)
it has a bug where it unconditionally generates marshaler bodies,
even for standard marshalers, even with --stdinc. This causes
libgimpwidgets to define and export g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__INT()
and g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__OBJECT(), which upsets defcheck, and
breaks the build.
Work around this for now by using --header --body when generating
the marshal.c files, which includes the prototypes in the source,
instead of including the header ourselves. This is the only code
path where the new glib-genmarshal doesn't generate bodies for
standard marshalers. Note, however, that this usage is deprecated,
so we'll probably want to change it back once it's fixed.
Commit 1e6acbd4e1 modified the
generated enum recipes to run gimp-mkenums from the source
directory, instead of the build directory, so that only the
basenames of the corresponding header files would appear in
the comment at the top of the generated files. This was a
mistake -- $(GIMP_MKENUMS) is expecting to be invoked from the
build directory.
Switch back to running gimp-mkenums from the build directory. To
avoid including the relative path from the build directory to the
source directory in the generated file, add a @basename@ production
variable to gimp-mkenums, which exapnds to the basename of the
input file, and use it instead of @filename@ in the recipes for the
generated enum files.
When regenerating an enum file, don't copy it back to the source
directory if it hasn't actually changed. This allows using a read-
only source directory where the enum header is newer than the
generated file, as long as they're not really out of sync.
OTOH, *do* touch the generated source-dir file even when unchanged,
in order to avoid re-running its recipe on the next build, however,
allow this to silently fail (which is harmless).
