Mostly, std::regexp can be used as a drop-in replacement.
Note: unfortunately ECMA regexps do not support lookbehind assertions.
This lookbehind is necesary here because we want to allow parsing values
from strings with additional content, which means we need explicitly to
exclude mismatches due to invalid syntax.
We can work around that issue like "either line start, or *not* one of these characters.
Alternatively we could consider to make the match more rigid,
i.e we would require the string to conain *only* the timecode spec to be parsed.
Even while EveryoneElese indulges in cool "flat" UI graphics,
we still think that a plausible 3D structure of UI widgets supports intuitive user interaction
As an asside, this commit fixes a mistake with the licenses of several of these documentation drawings.
I am the author of all these SVGs and thus can fix such a license glitch without much ado.
These drawing shall be licensed in accordance to the general rule for Lumiera Documentation,
which is to use a Libre-style license, here CC-by-sa (which does *not* limit commercial use)
- most notably the NOBUG logging flags have been renamed now
- but for the configuration, I'll stick to "GUI" for now,
since "Stage" would be bewildering for an occasional user
- in a similar vein, most documentation continues to refer to the GUI
Considering this since some time, since it more and more occurred to me
the existing conventional names are a misfit. And they are dull and clumsy.
This fall, I mentioned it to Benny, and he seemed to be rather favourable towards that idea,
which encourages me just to go ahead. Unfortunately, I am alone on the coding frontier
right now, which has several downsides, but at least it gives me the ability
to pull off radical moves.
The goal is to run the build_website.sh script in the doc/ dir
(for local testing purposes only, not on the server)
added to doc/.gitignore because:
/broken_links
the linkchecker generates it
/documentation
symlink to ./ to fix links
/css
/js
/page.conf
/images
symlink to some local copy of the
lumiera-website checked out
/menu.html
fill with (to create a fake empty page):
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<TITLE>no menu</TITLE>
.*
*~
ignore hidden and backup files
Then from the 'doc' dir:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8010 &
echo http://localhost:8010 >.baseurl
/path/to/build_website.sh
to generate the documentation. Other build_website.sh options work as well.
bottom line is to do most autmatically, and to establish a slave-relation
navigation-area -> timeline-ruler
header-pane-content -> corresponding track-body
this can be accomplished mostly by connecting the aproprieate signals,
thus these widgets will live within the Layout-Manager, which consequently
is renamed into TimelineLayout
...just to decide not to follow-up too much on that topic right now.
As it turns out, GTK seems to be lacking in that respect. I have plotted
some ideas how we could work around that discrepancy in future...
And for this simple DemoGuiRoundtrip, we'll just use direct styling,
but we'll store a table of bookmarks for the error entries, allowing
us to add further features later on top
Paragraph ordering was somewhat confusing: you talk about
transport controls before defining what they actually are. Better
to define them first so that the reader knows what you are talking
about.
The important page on contacting Lumiera was buried below
somewhere in Contributing to Lumiera. This information must
be provided top-level and easily accessible. So I've added it,
maybe not terribly suitably, to the tutorials page. However its
position there is saved and justified by placing it under the
tutorial on contributing to Lumiera.
Maybe someone has a better idea.
In the end, I decided against building a generic service here,
since it pretty much looks like a one-time problem.
Preferrably UI content will be pushed or pulled on demand,
rather than actively coding content from within the UI-Layer
- activation signal is a facility offered and used solely by Gtk::Application
- we do not need nor want an Gtk::Application, we deal with our own application
concerns as we see fit.
Static initialisation and shutdown can be intricate; but in fact they
work quite precise and deterministic, once you understand the rules
of the game.
In the actual case at hand the ClassLock was already destroyed, and
it must be destroyed at that point, according to the standard. Simply
because it is created on-demand, *after* the initialisation of the
static DependencyFactory, which uses this lock, and so its destructor
must be called befor the dtor of DependencyFactory -- which is precisely
what happens.
So there is no need to establish a special secure "base runtime system",
and this whole idea is ill-guided. I'll thus close ticket #1133 as wontfix
Conflicts:

all these tests are ported by drop-in replacement
and should work afterwards exactly as before (and they do indeed)
A minor twist was spotted though (nice to have more unit tests indeed!):
Sometimes we want to pass a custom constructor *not* as modern-style lambda,
but rather as direct function reference, function pointer or even member
function pointer. However, we can not store those types into the closure
for later lazy invocation. This is basically the same twist I run into
yesterday, when modernising the thread-wrapper. And the solution is
similar. Our traits class _Fun<FUN> has a new typedef Functor
with a suitable functor type to be instantiated and copied. In case of
the Lambda this is the (anonymous) lamda class itself, but in case of
a function reference or pointer it is a std::function.
- polish the text in the TiddlyWiki
- integrate some new pages in the published documentation
Still mostly placeholder text with some indications
- fill in the relevant sections in the overview document
- adjust, expand and update the Doxygen comments
TODO: could convert the TiddlyWiki page to Asciidoc and
publish it mostly as-is. Especially the nice benchmarks
from yesterday :-D
As it turned out, we had two bugs luring in the code base,
with the happy result of one cancelling out the adverse effects of the other
:-D
- a mistake in the invocation of the Itertools (transform, filter,...)
caused them to move and consume any input passed by forwarding, instead
of consuming only the RValue references.
- but util::join did an extraneous copy on its data source, meaning that
in all relevant cases where a *copy* got passed into the Itertools,
only that spurious temporary was consumed by Bug #1.
(Note that most usages of Itertools rely on RValues anyway, since the whole
point of Itertools is to write concise in-line transformation pipelines...)
*** Added additional testcode to prove util::stringify() behaves correct
now in all cases.
surprising behaviour encountered while covering more cases
...obviously the return type of ExpandFunctor::operator()
was inferred as value, even while the invoked functor, from which
this type was deduced, clearly returns a reference.
Solution is simple not to rely on inference, moreover since we know
the exact type in the enclosing scope, thanks to the refactoring which
made this ExpandFunctor a nested class
NOTE:
as it turned out, this is not a compiler bug,
but works as defined by the language:
on return type inference, the detected type is decayed,
which usually helps to prevent returning a reference to a temporary
..this collection of ideas, terms and conclusions has been shaped
since some time within the TiddlyWiki. Since I've now started even
some supporting implementation regarding these concepts, its time
to publish them in the design documentation section of the Website
this becomes more relevant now, since the actual MutationMessage iterators
are implemented in terms of a shared_ptr to IterSource. Thus, when building
processing pipelines, we most definitively want to move that smart-ptr into
the destination, since this avoids touching the shared count and thus avoids
generating unnecessary memory barriers.
