Since Autoconf places some important feature flags only into the
configuration header, it is necessary to include it globally to
guarantee a consistent build.
Move the include flags for files in the source tree from
configure.ac to Makefile.am where they belong. Also use
AM_CPPFLAGS instead of CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS to make sure the
files in the build/source tree are always picked up first.
Also, remove the include/libsigrok sub-directory from the
search path, thereby making the <libsigrok/> prefix mandatory
when building libsigrok itself. This matches the convention
already imposed on users of the library.
Use g_malloc0() for small allocations and assume they always
succeed. Simplify error handling in a few places accordingly.
Don't always sanity-check parameters for non-public (SR_PRIV)
functions, we require the developers to invoke them correctly.
This allows further error handling simplifications.
Every driver now publishes its device option config keys, i.e. the
list fetched with sr_config_list(SR_CONF_DEVICE_OPTIONS), with a
set of flags indicating which methods are implemented by the driver
for that key.
The config keys are OR'ed with any combination of SR_CONF_GET,
SR_CONF_SET and SR_CONF_LIST. These are defined as the high bits
of the uint32_t config key. Clients can OR config keys with
SR_CONF_MASK to strip out these bits. This mask will be kept up to
date if other bits are added to the capabilities list; clients MUST
therefore use SR_CONF_MASK for this.
Some keys don't have capability bits added, such as the informative
device type keys (SR_CONF_MULTIMETER, SR_CONF_OSCILLOSCOPE, ...) and
SR_CONF_CONTINUOUS.
Scan options do not have capabilities bits.
