PropertyInfo should store a copy of the JsonNodes it references, so
that property_info_free() can safely dispose them, and we can reference
values across different UI definition data.
The implicit timeline parsing code is not copying the JsonNode; this
leads to a double free in some cases, which is masked by the GSlice
allocator and produces a heap corruption later on.
ClutterBehaviour should implement the Scriptable interface
and parse ClutterAlpha when implicitly defined, instead of
having this ad hoc code inside ClutterScriptParser itself.
After all, only ClutterBehaviour supports Alpha defined
implicitly.
The ClutterScriptParser should do most of the heavy-lifting for
parsing a JSON object member defining another JSON object into
a GObject property defined using a GParamSpecObject.
The ClutterScript parser needs to be extended to parse child properties
and apply them after an actor has been added to a container. In order to
distinguish child properties from regular GObject properties we can use
the "child::" prefix, e.g.:
{
"type" : "ClutterRectangle",
"id" : "child-01",
"child::has-focus" : true,
...
}
Parsing child properties can be deferred to the ClutterScriptable
interface, just like regular properties.
All the ClutterColor parsing rules should be coalesced inside
clutter_script_parse_color(): object, array and string notations
are the canonical ways of defining a ClutterColor inside a
ClutterScript definition. Having a single function in charge of
the parsing cleans up the code.
Currently, ClutterScriptParser will construct the object (using the
construct-only and construct parameters), apply the properties from
the ClutterScript definition, and eventuall will add children and
behaviours.
The construction phase should be more compartimentalized: the objects
should be constructed first and eventual children and behaviours
added. Then, once an object is requested or when the parsing process
has terminated, all the properties should be applied.
This change allows us to set up the actors before setting their
non-construct properties.
ClutterScript is currently a mix of parser-related code and
the ClutterScript object. All the parser-related code should
be moved inside a private class, ClutterScriptParser, inheriting
from JsonParser.
The clutter-script-parser.c does not have a copyright and license
notices; even though the LGPL is a per-project license and not a
per-file license, having those notices in every source file is a
good idea.
* clutter/clutter-script-parser.c:
* clutter/clutter-script-private.h: Clean up the code; add a
conversion function for reading a ClutterColor out of a
JSON object or array definition.
* clutter/clutter-script.c: Clean up the code; document properly
how we translate from type name to type function.
* clutter/clutter-script-parser.c:
(clutter_script_get_type_from_symbol),
(clutter_script_get_type_from_class): Use BIND_LAZY flag
when looking at the symbols, so we don't load them all up.
* clutter/clutter-script.c (resolve_alpha_func): Ditto as above.
Remove the layout containers: they will be moved to a
high-level library.
* clutter/clutter.h:
* clutter/Makefile.am: Remove layout and boxes from the
build.
* clutter/clutter-layout.[ch]: Remove the ClutterLayout
interface.
* clutter/clutter-box.[ch]:
* clutter/clutter-hbox.[ch]:
* clutter/clutter-vbox.[ch]: Remove ClutterBox and its
subclasses.
* clutter/clutter-label.c: Remove ClutterLayout implementation
* clutter/clutter-script-private.h:
* clutter/clutter-script-parser.c:
* clutter/clutter-script.c:
(clutter_script_parse_node): Remove special parsing for
ClutterMargin and ClutterPadding.
* clutter/clutter-types.h: Remove ClutterPadding and ClutterMargin.
* tests/Makefile.am:
* tests/test-boxes.c: Remove the boxes test case.
* clutter/Makefile.am:
* clutter/clutter.h:
* clutter/clutter-scriptable.[ch]: Add the ClutterScriptable
interface; by implementing this interface, a class can
override the UI definition parsing and transform complex data
types into GObject properties, or allow custom properties.
* clutter/clutter-script.c:
* clutter/clutter-script-parser.c:
* clutter/clutter-script-private.h: Rearrange the code and
use the ClutterScriptable interface to parse and build the
custom properties. This cleans up the code and also it makes
it more reliable (the complex type parsing is now done using
the target type and not just the name of the property).
