Originally I copied this over from SceneGraph template classes, where it
was used to prevent the compiler from needlessly instantiating a
template that was already available elsewhere. But this is a different
case, the extern template is not preventing any instatiation of
anything, no code is inline, so it apparently should not have been there
at all, instead of being disabled for ḾinGW GCC and clang-cl, and then
subsequently discovering it also breaks MinGW Clang.
Since I'm not testing with MinGW Clang on the CI (only with MinGW GCC),
this went unnoticed for a while -- sorry.
It's more useful if the Error class is directly referenced than saying
just "error output" -- so people can grab it, redirect it, etc. Also
drop the useless "does what it is expected to do on success" sentences
that add no value whatsoever.
I wanted to avoid including extra stuff with the Manager.hpp split, but
this would make it even worse than having Array and String included
unconditionally. Fortunately it's enough to simply not even have the
declaration.
This makes it much less annoying to pass arbitrarily typed data, such as
std::uint8_t or char8_t and what not. It was already done like this for
the new shader converter plugins, where the input is often 32-bit ints
for SPIR-V.
OTOH the internal virtual API is kept with ArrayView<const char>, as
that makes it easier to operate on by the implementations.
Should make new things more discoverable, avoid confusion when a
documented API isn't there and reduce the need for maintaining multiple
separate versions of the docs.
Basically mirroring the API of Trade::AbstractImporter, as that proved
to be useful. The old crazy openSingleData() and openData(horribleStuff)
are deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
No backwards compatibility is provided for font plugins, these need to
be adapted.
Allows the Font and FontConverter plugins be built without TARGET_GL
enabled. That was the last piece missing for making the magnum-plugins
repo completely GL-free.
They are passed in a std::unique_ptr<AbstractLayouter> and with the
non-virtual destructor their destructors weren't called. Found by
AddressSanitizer.
`char*` is now the default type for byte arrays. Results in shorter
code, less annoyances and more convenient testing. As is the case with
Corrade, I'm not doing any compatibility/deprecation layer, as most of
these functions is not widely used anyway.
