- SR_MQ_MASS: Mass, as measured by scales / balances.
- SR_UNIT_*: Various units of mass.
- SR_MQFLAG_UNSTABLE: A flag denoting that a value has not
yet stabilized (settled). E.g. when placing an object on a scale
it'll take a few moments until a stable reading is available.
Measurement values marked with SR_MQFLAG_UNSTABLE denote that they
are "unsettled", unstable values (not yet stabilized).
The absence of SR_MQFLAG_UNSTABLE denotes that the value is stable.
- SR_CONF_SCALE: A device class for weighing scales / balances.
This basically makes glibc expose the same set of features as
if gcc was invoked without any restricting -std=c* option. Unlike
_GNU_SOURCE however, it does not enable GNU-specific extensions.
So, with this macro defined the behavior of Linux with glibc
should match that of other platforms.
In order to avoid confusion of the flags-gathering pkg-config
result with the actual test for the availability of "check",
change the pkg-config output variable prefix from CHECK to TESTS.
This type consists of an array, with each item a two-member tuple,
representing an MQ/MQflags pair: the first item is the MQ (type
G_VARIANT_TYPE_UINT32), and the second is the MQ flags value
(G_VARIANT_TYPE_UINT64).
A GVariant of type SR_T_MQLIST can thus always represent more than
one MQ/MQflag pair.
The tables defined with this struct can now be used for information
on items other than config keys.
Functions to access these tables have been renamed sr_key_info_[name_]get.
These take an extra argument, keytype, which should be set to SR_KEY_CONFIG
to get the config key tables. Other key types will be added.
Put the extra libraries into SR_EXTRA_LIBS instead of LIBS.
Create an SR_CHECK_LIBS macro to make that easy. Substitute
SR_EXTRA_LIBS into libsigrok.pc, too.
Place a copy of ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx_11.m4 from the Autoconf
macro archive into our private m4/ directory. This is cleaner
than trying to parse M4 file versions etc. Plus, the macro is
now always available.
Use autoreconf instead of invoking the various Auto tools
separately. Get rid of the Darwin-specific guesswork -- it
does not make sense to handle this at the level of libsigrok.
People should set up their ACLOCAL_PATH themselves as appropriate
for their own system; just as they already need to set up various
other paths.
Introduce the SR_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAGS macro and use it to check
for additional compiler flags. Put the accepted flags into the
separate substitution variable SR_EXTRA_CFLAGS.
With this and the preceding changes, bug #578 should now be fixed.
Use the SR_ARG_ENABLE_WARNINGS macro to configure and check for
the availability of compiler warning flags. Maintain separate
sets of warning flags for C and C++.
The configure option --enable-warnings=[min|max|fatal|no] can
be used to set the compiler warning level for all languages.
The default level is "max".
Place custom Autoconf macros which other sigrok modules may
re-use into a separate file m4/sigrok.m4. Also, introduce new
macros for defining the package and library versions, and for
gathering compiler warning flags.
It seems that contrary to what the documentation says, leaving
the category argument to m4_warn() empty is not allowed. Use
the "unsupported" category for lack of a better choice.
Although useful, makes other than GNU make do not like this.
Name the prerequisite explicitly instead, and circumvent any
VPATH substitution other makes may do.
It can sometimes happen that .git/HEAD or .git/refs/head/*, which
are added as config.status dependencies during configure, do not
exist anymore at build time. For instance, when the current branch
is deleted after switching to a different one.
Wrap the dependencies inside $(wildcard ...) to avoid this problem.
Note that this is a GNU make feature. However, it should be fine
as it is only used for git builds. Even if a non-GNU make is used,
the construct will hopefully just expand to nothing.
