Also, consistently use 'ch' for channel variables. This matches how we
consistently use sdi, devc, and so on all over the code-base.
This fixes parts of bug #259.
The text output module keeps buffers for internal state, upon receiving a DF_END
packet it frees the internal context but the buffers are never freed.
This adds a text_cleanup() helper function and registers it as the cleanup
function within all the text output modules.
This obviates the need for a valid driver, and thus makes converting
from any (non-sr) input format to any output format possible; the only
thing missing is the samplerate.
Fixes bug 105.
All frontends will have to include <libsigrok/libsigrok.h> from now on.
This header includes proto.h and version.h, both installed from the
distribution into $INCLUDE/libsigrok/ as well.
The only dynamically changed header is now version.h, which has both
libsigrok and libtool compile-time versions in it.
Avoid plain malloc()/free() in sr/srd, especially in the API calls.
Also avoid g_malloc*() in favor of g_try_malloc*().
Use g_strdup() instead of strdup() so that we can use g_free()
consistently everywhere.
Exceptions: Stuff that is allocated via other libs (not using glib),
should also be properly free'd using the respective free-ing function
(instead of g_free()). Examples: Stuff allocated by libusb, libftdi, etc.
Also, use sr_err() instead of sr_warn() for actual errors. sr_warn() is
meant for non-fatal/uncritical warnings.
Use SR_API to mark public API symbols, and SR_PRIV for private symbols.
Variables and functions marked 'static' are private already and don't
need SR_PRIV. However, functions which are not static (because they need
to be used in other libsigrok-internal files) but are also not meant to
be part of the public libsigrok API, must use SR_PRIV.
This uses the 'visibility' feature of gcc (requires gcc >= 4.0).
