Instead of >= 44 Makefile.am's we now only have one top-level
Makefile.am, and use the 'subdir-objects' automake option to
handle the build via non-recursive (auto)make.
This has the advantage of fewer (boilerplate or other) files and less
clutter in general, as well as performance advantages since the new
setup can build many files in parallel (with 'make -j'), not only 2 or 3
files within the same (e.g. hardware/xxxx/* subdirectory) and also since
we no longer need to build intermediate libtool helper libs per subdirectory.
A quick, non-scientific test build on a quad-core laptop with 'make -j 4'
yields a build time reduction from 35s to 19s.
All autotools features that worked before are still intact without any
regressions, including the Make targets 'install', 'uninstall', 'check',
'dist', 'clean', 'distclean' and so on, as well as all the usual portability
handling (build works on any OS, with any Make implementation such as
GNU Make or BSD Make, with any shell such as sh/ksh/zsh/bash/dash, etc. etc.)
and features such as out-of-tree build support, cross-compile support,
testsuite support (also with colored output), "silent make rules", etc. etc.
Drivers interpreted the uint64 values to the SR_CONF_TRIGGER_SLOPE
configuration setting in different ways. In order to orthogonalize
the API, change the type of the setting to a string with the same
format as uses for logic probes.
The per-driver API calls no longer have a hw_ prefix (e.g. hw_init()
became init() and so on), so drop the 'hw_' from the std versions
for those API callbacks too.
This is a small helper function which sends the SR_DF_HEADER packet that
drivers usually emit in their hw_dev_acquisition_start() API callback.
It simplifies and shortens the hw_dev_acquisition_start() functions
quite a bit.
It also simplifies the input modules which send an SR_DF_HEADER packet, too.
This patch also automatically removes some unneeded malloc/free in some
drivers for the 'packet' and 'header' structs used for SR_DF_HEADER.
Sending an SR_DF_META packet at the start of every stream is not
mandatory; the frontend should ask for what it needs, and any extra
information the driver wants to send will come in due time.
Fix the bare minumum of whitespace/indentation/coding-style via
automatic 'indent' run, followed by some minor manual fixes.
Some more fixes and cleanups might follow later.
Bring back the original (C) lines from before the split into api.c
and protocol.[ch].
Add "Copyright (C) 2013 Lior Elazary <lelazary@yahoo.com>" since there
