The Animatable interface allows object classes to provide and animate
properties outside of the usual GObject property introspection API.
This change allows ClutterState to defer to the animatable objects the
property introspection and animation, just like ClutterAnimation does.
The G_CONST_RETURN define in GLib is, and has always been, a bit fuzzy.
We always used it to conform to the platform, at least for public-facing
API.
At first I assumed it has something to do with brain-damaged compilers
or with weird platforms where const was not really supported; sadly,
it's something much, much worse: it's a define that can be toggled at
compile-time to remove const from the signature of public API. This is a
truly terrifying feature that I assume was added in the past century,
and whose inception clearly had something to do with massive doses of
absynthe and opium — because any other explanation would make the
existence of such a feature even worse than assuming drugs had anything
to do with it.
Anyway, and pleasing the gods, this dubious feature is being
removed/deprecated in GLib; see bug:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644611
Before deprecation, though, we should just remove its usage from the
whole API. We should especially remove its usage from Cally's internals,
since there it never made sense in the first place.
ClutterState is missing some documentation on how to define transitions
using ClutterScript definitions; it is also missing some example code
for both the C API and the ClutterScript syntax.
This time, in Clutter core.
The ObjC standard library provides a type called 'id', which obviously
requires any library to either drop the useful shadowed variable warning
or stop using 'id' as a variable name.
Yes, it's almost unbearably stupid. Well, at least it's not 'index' in
string.h, or 'y2' in math.h.
Correct the argument order and replace all occurrences of
clutter_state_change() with the appropriate clutter_state_set_state() or
clutter_state_warp_to_state().
If you warp to a state, it should be immediately set. Check if the
animation is in progress when warping to a state and don't short-circuit
in the already-set check if we're not animating.
Add special behaviour when you set the key of the current target state:
- If the state is transitioning, add/modify the interval so that the new
key transitions from the current time (taking into account pre-delay) to
its target final property
- If the state is set but has already finished animating/was warped to,
set the property immediately
If ClutterState is in the middle of a transition and you remove all the
keys from the target state, the target state will be destroyed without
stopping the animation/unsetting the target state. This caused an invalid
memory access.
Allow setting a %NULL state. This has the effect of unsetting the current
state and stopping all animation. This allows you to, for example, start
a state transition, set the state to NULL, alter the state transition
and then resume it again, by just setting it.
When we free a state because there are no more keys with it as a target use a
goto to re-initialize temporary variables that have become invalid.
Fixing bug #2273
This adds a wrapper macro to clutter-private that will use
g_object_notify_by_pspec if it's compiled against a version of GLib
that is sufficiently new. Otherwise it will notify by the property
name as before by extracting the name from the pspec. The objects can
then store a static array of GParamSpecs and notify using those as
suggested in the documentation for g_object_notify_by_pspec.
Note that the name of the variable used for storing the array of
GParamSpecs is obj_props instead of properties as used in the
documentation because some places in Clutter uses 'properties' as the
name of a local variable.
Mose of the classes in Clutter have been converted using the script in
the bug report. Some classes have not been modified even though the
script picked them up as described here:
json-generator:
We probably don't want to modify the internal copy of JSON
behaviour-depth:
rectangle:
score:
stage-manager:
These aren't using the separate GParamSpec* variable style.
blur-effect:
win32/device-manager:
Don't actually define any properties even though it has the enum.
box-layout:
flow-layout:
Have some per-child properties that don't work automatically with
the script.
clutter-model:
The script gets confused with ClutterModelIter
stage:
Script gets confused because PROP_USER_RESIZE doesn't match
"user-resizable"
test-layout:
Don't really want to modify the tests
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2150
g_array_unref was only added in GLib 2.22 so we should really update
the requirements in the configure script if we want to use that
function. However the array doesn't appear to have any extra reference
taken on it anywhere so it should be safe to use g_array_free instead.
The marshallers we use for the signals are declared in a private header,
and it stands to reason that they should also be hidden in the shared
object by using the common '_' prefix. We are also using some direct
g_cclosure_marshal_* symbol from GLib, instead of consistently use the
clutter_marshal_* symbol.
