The new methods wrap the new libsigrok C API helper functions and eliminate
the need to pass complex types back to the user and wrap them with SWIG.
Fixes bugs #479 and #480.
The source file enum.hpp was not found when not building in the source
tree. Also, extraction of the brief description did not work correctly
when there was additional XML markup inside the <para> element.
std::default_delete<> is originally defined as struct, not class.
This does not really make much of a difference, but some compilers
complain when the struct/class tag is not consistent across all
declarations of the type.
Make the Python and Java bindings use the same set of preprocessor
macros for the SWIG parsing stage, taken from a make variable. Add
G_GNUC_{BEGIN,END}_IGNORE_DEPRECATIONS to that set.
Writing to an object through a pointer of incompatible type is
really evil. Even when the data size matches, it is still a
violation of strict aliasing rules.
Replace all instances by direct casts of the value, without the
unnecessary and dangerous indirection.
The Java bindings currently have some weird problem with function
arguments passed by const reference. Not all types are affected,
but the collection types that involve custom typemaps are.
For now, revert back to pass-by-value for the problematic types.
Looks like SWIG silently ignores default arguments specified via
aggregate initialization. This is rather unfortunate, especially
if the argument types are complex.
Replace custom Deleter classes with std::default_delete<>, declared
as friend so it can invoke the private destructor. Inexplicably,
std::shared_ptr<> does not use default_delete<> by default, so it
is still necessary to explicitly specify the deleter when creating
shared_ptr instances.
With this, unique_ptr and shared_ptr instances now use the same
default delete mechanism.
Make use of std::unique_ptr<> to manage the lifetime of members
or container elements, so that manual invocations of delete can
be avoided. This also provides for exception safety.
Since std::unique_ptr<> is only movable but not copyable, adapt
the code to avoid copies and assignments of these pointers.
Reduce needless over-generalization. There is no design need
for the ParentOwned and UserOwned classes to contain the C base
struct pointer. Instead, just make the _structure pointer a
private member of each class that needs one.
Apparently this problem has been fixed in SWIG 3.0.6. However,
until we can require that version, define "private" as "protected"
when running the SWIG parser.
Declare accessor methods that return value members const. For now,
skip all cases where constness would have to be applied transitively
to shared objects.
