Ichthyostega 9c21164ae6 Doxygen Fixes (#1062 ) This changeset fixes a huge pile of problems, as indicated in the error log of the Doxygen run after merging all the recent Doxygen improvements unfortunately, auto-linking does still not work at various places. There is no clear indication what might be the problem. Possibly the rather unstable Sqlite support in this Doxygen version is the cause. Anyway, needs to be investigated further.		2017-04-02 04:22:51 +02:00

GUI backbone tests

The tests in this subtree are a bit special: they cover the generic and
backbone internals of the Lumiera GTK GUI. They are linked against the
complete GUI-module (gui plugin), and thus may use all related ABIs.

Yet these tests are *deliberately* compiled without any GTK, GTKmm or SigC
includes. This effectively rules out the use, even indirectly, of any GTK
widgets and APIs -- forcing the covered GUI backbone entities to stay
clean and generic at API level.

This is a decision done on purpose. The concrete GUI framework technology
shall be treated as an implementation detail. There is no point in writing
tests which click buttons in the GUI -- better delegate any significant
logic or functionality to GUI agnostic components. GUI is meant to be
a presentation layer and must not develop intelligence on its own.
