In both PluginMetadata and AbstractPlugin itself. This makes the
pluginmanager module depend on the utility module (which currently
contains just the Configuration bindings).
Need that for configuring plugins -- originally thought I'd wait until
the class is reworked, but that isn't coming anytime soon given there's
insane pressure on other things, so I have to figure out a plan B.
The interface is the most barebones possible, exposing nothing that I'd
later plan to rename or remove. Just the least possible amount of APIs
to make it possible to configure plugins, and no custom type support yet
either -- if you need to write a vector, write it as a formatted string
instead, sorry.
To make it possible to test the APIs in isolation instead of through
the plugin interface, I added also a Configuration class. Also just the
least amount possible to cover the code with tests.
Pybind changed py::module to py::module_ in order to support C++
modules, adapting to that change. It still builds on older versions,
but we're using only the new APIs.
That makes it much easier to handle in that case (because that's the
whole point of static builds) and also nicely circumvents any issues
with duplicated global data when a static lib would be linked to
multiple dynamic libraries.
Only the double ones, exposed as floats, because the extra ALU required
by doubles is negligible to function call overhead. It'll be different
for non-scalar types, but here I use this.
