TODO
- is this actually a sensible idea, from a design viewpoint?
- in which way to bind GuiNotification for receiving diff messages?
- Problem with disconnnecting from Nexus on shutdown
up to now this happened from the GuiRunner, which was a rather bad idea
- it can throw and thus interfer with the startup process
- the GuiNotification can not sensibly be *implemented* just backed
by the GuiRunner. While CoreService offers access to the necessary
implementation facilities to do so
This switches the Lumiera UI from GTK-2 to GTK-3
Unfortunately, this move breaks two crucial features, which have been
disabled for now: the display of video and our custom timeline widget.
Since both of these require some reworking, which in fact has already
started, we prefer to do the library and framework switch right away.
over time, a specific Lumiera code writing style has emerged.
The GUI, as it stood, used somewhat different conventions,
which now have been aligned to the common standard.
Basically we use GNU style, with some adjustments for OO-programming,
we prefer CamelCase, and write TypeNames uppercase, variableNames lowercase
right now we have to defeat an unfortunate static assertion in
the standard library, which is expected to go away in the future.
We use a hack to hijack the problematic definition with the preprocessor,
which requires our header to be first.
In the November developer meeting, Christian and I agreed that
it's best to remove that offending LUID specifications altogether.
Those embedded LUIDs where one of the issues blocking the transition to C++11
to make them stand out more prominently, some entity comments
where started with a line of starts. Unfortunately, doxygen
(and javadoc) only recogise comments which are started exactly
with /**
This caused quite some comments to be ignored by doxygen.
Credits to Hendrik Boom for spotting this problem!
A workaround is to end the line of stars with *//**
lib::Depend<TY> works as drop-in replacement for lib::Singleton<TY>
This changeset removes the convoluted special cases like
SingletonSub and MockInjector.
- split off the tricky basic GTKmm includes
- reduce the clutter in the gtk-lumiera.header
- make GtkLumiera a singleton, placed into static memory
- remove all static functions from WindowManager
DisplayService is intended to implement the Display facade and additionally
manage N display output sinks (DisplayerSlot). Now the playback-controller
contains just the bare controller logic, all services like tick generation
or signal dispatching have been factored out... makes me feel better :-)
