Hey, do you also remember the times where people were excited to upgrade
from Clang 3.6 to 3.7, GCC 4.7 to 4.8 or Firefox 1.1 to Firefox 1.5? Not
Clang 12 to 14, GCC 10 to 13 or Chrome 102 to 126.
Consistently with changes done to Utility::Path, this enforces proper
error handling on user side. Originally I didn't want to do this and
instead wanted to have a special Array instance devoted for an error
state, but that still would allow the error state be errorneously
treated as a successful but empty array.
It limits the support for CMake 3.12+, but it's much less verbose and I
don't expect people to use ancient CMake versions with IDEs like Xcode
or VS anyway, so this should be fine.
Since the plugin implementations rely on the base plugin interfaces for
file handling, this affected only the tests. Also took this as an
opportunity to use the new TestSuite::Compare::StringHasPrefix etc. in
various places.
The multi-level APIs still don't check anything regarding level sizes
and order since for example *.ico has no restrictions at all. But the
rest (like non-zero size) is a restriction for all file formats I'm
aware of.
TgaImageConverter test had to be adapted, I expect a lot of breakages in
plugins tests as well. But user code should be fine I think. Also
reduced the rather excessive dimensions in AbstractImageConverterTest,
since the allocation requirement now made the default Emscripten heap
OOM.
To avoid combinatorial explosion of functions that have to be
implemented on the plugin side, the single-image variants proxy to the
multi-level variants, if available.
THe plugin interface string had to be bumped because otherwise there was
a *really nasty* silent ABI break where instead of doSetFlags() it was
suddenly calling doConvert().
First and foremost I need to expand the interface to support 3D
image conversion. But the interface was not great to begin with, so this
takes the opportunity of an API break and does several things:
* The `export*()` names were rather strange and I don't even remember
why I chose that name (maybe because at first I wanted to have an
"exporter" API as a counterpart to importers?)
* In addition, there was no way to convert a compressed image to a
compressed image (or to an uncompressed image) and adding the two
missing variants would be a lot of combinations. So instead the new
convert() returns an ImageData, which can be both, and thus also
allows the converters to produce compressed or uncompressed output
based on some runtime setting, without having to implement two
(four?) separate functions for that and requiring users to know
beforehand what type of an image will be created.
* The ImageConverterFeature enum was named in a really strange way as
well, with ConvertCompressedImage meaning "convert to a compressed
image" while "ConvertCompressedData" instead meant "convert a
compressed image to a data". Utter chaos. It also all implied 2D and
on the other hand had a redundant `Image` in the name, so I went and
remade the whole thing. As mentioned above, two of the enums now mean
the same thing, and are both replaced with Convert2D.
* Finally, similarly as changes elsewhere, I took this opportunity to
get rid of std::string in the convertToFile() APIs.
It doesn't really work for tests that depend on more than one plugin
(because there i would need to handle all combinations, somehow), but it
does the job when the end user has such use case.
This makes it possible to:
- finally use Magnum as a CMake subproject on Windows and have your
executables not fail to run with a "DLL missing" error (and the
setting is put to cache so superprojects just implicitly make use of
that)
- run tests on Windows without having to install first
- use dynamic plugins from a CMake subproject on any platform without
having to install first or load them by filename --- and the plugin
directory is now easily discovered as relative to
libraryLocation() of the library implementing given plugin interface
No matter how broken iOS is in CMake 3.6, $<CONFIG> seems to work there,
so reducing the amount of code and putting the configure into a single
place independently of what generator or what system/build is used.
Compared to current state it always adds Debug/configure.h instead of
putting it directly to the ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}, but the
alternative would be some CMake branching again and I just removed that,
so no.
This also prepares everything for plugin libraries being put into a
central place -- the config files don't depend on their location
anymore.
At the moment just the GL library itself w/o the tests, and without
backwards compatibility aliases. The following types were left in the
root namespace, despite being in the GL/ directory, as they will get
moved back soon:
* Image, CompressedImage and their dimensional typedefs
* ImageView, CompressedImageView and their dimensional typedefs
* PixelStorage
Not PixelFormat etc., that one will stay in the GL namespace and a
completely new PixelFormat enum will be provided in the root namespace.
The current testing workflow had quite a few major flaws and it was no
longer possible after the move of Any* plugins to core. Among the flaws
is:
* Every plugin was basically built twice, once as the real plugin and
once as a static testing library. Most of the build shared common
object files, but nevertheless it inflated build times and made the
buildsystem extremely complex.
* Because the actual plugin binary was never actually loaded during the
test, it couldn't spot problems like:
- undefined references
- errors in metadata files
- mismatched plugin interface/version, missing entry points
- broken static plugin import files
* Tests that made use of independent plugins (such as TgaImageConverter
test using TgaImporter to verify the output) had a hardcoded
dependency on such plugins, making a minimal setup very hard.
* Dynamic loading of plugins from the Any* proxies was always directed
to the install location on the filesystem with no possibility to
load these directly from the build tree. That caused random ABI
mismatch crashes, or, on the other hand, if no plugins were
installed, particular portions of the codebase weren't tested at all.
Now the workflow is the following:
* Every plugin is built exactly once, either as dynamic or as static.
* The test always loads it via the plugin manager. If it's dynamic,
it's loaded straight from the build directory; if it's static, it
gets linked to the test executable directly.
* Plugins used indirectly are always served from the build directory
(if enabled) to ensure reproducibility and independence on what's
installed on the filesystem. Missing presence of these plugins causes
particular tests to be simply skipped.
* Plugins that have extensive tests for internal functionality that's
not exposed through the plugin interface are still built in two
parts, but the internal tests are simply consuming the OBJECT files
directly instead of linking to a static library.
Too much burden to implement. Nope. Sorry. All APIs were just asserting
that it's not enabled at the moment, so I may as well just remove it
completely.
Statically built plugins get imported automatically when using CMake
3.1 and newer. Otherwise simply #include a corresponding
importStaticPlugin.cpp file.
Proofread everything, make the packages the first choice (and manual
build only as a backup catch-all solution), don't force the users to
CMake but provide useful snippets to show how to use the libs from
CMake.
And removing the bundled std::optional implementation. This finally
makes this library compatible with C++17. Since this would be a huge
backwards-incompatible change that would make everyone angry, the
following had to be done in case both CORRADE_BUILD_DEPRECATED and
MAGNUM_BUILD_DEPRECATED is defined:
* Under C++11 and C++14, Containers::Optional / Containers::NullOpt is
aliased to std::optional / std::nullopt. This is no worse than the
state before, when we also provided these symbols.
* Under C++17, where standard <optional> header is available,
Containers::Optional provides implicit conversion to it. Only one-way
conversion is supported, as there was fortunately no Magnum API that
took std::optional via parameter, and there might be some corner
cases that this doesn't cover. The goal is to have all examples
compiling with the old API, at least.
* There's a new test especially for this, which checks that both the
C++11 and C++17 ways of doing things work as they should.
The typedef and conversion is marked as deprecated, so it will spit out
many warnings to push users to upgrade. I hope I can completely remove
this mess soon :/
