The `lgpl-docs` and documentation embedding step is now solely invoked
from `./gir/generator.py` in the CI, and does not need the embed/purge
build features anymore.
The `lgpl-docs` crate and all precompiled (easy to get outdated!)
docmentation files are removed in favour of being generated at runtime
by the improved generator, both during local development as well as in
the CI.
The previous commit reinstantiated `girs_dir`, and this commit applies
the rename to `girs_directories` and adds the new/missing
`gst-gir-files` directory where GStreamer-specific `.gir` files live.
This reverts commit 7f9fcb09e2.
`generator.py` is in the process of being moved to a generic place in
the `gir` repository for reuse across crates. This means `-d` cannot be
passed for our GStreamer-specific `gst-gir-files` directory anymore, and
should be configured from `Gir.toml` instead.
Gir now prints all directories and their hashes in the version file and
comments; useful now that gstreamer-rs is being generated from both
gir-files/ and gst-gir-files/ submodules.
We were already using `gir -d` and especially now that our files are
separated across two directories that are relative to the directory
containing Gir.toml this only becomes cumbersome. Besides `gir` lacks
functionality to normalize the path, leading to ie.
gstreamer-gl/egl/sys/../../../gir-files in the version comment as a
result.
This scales better as there will only be only such data instead of two
or more when having deeper class hierarchies with multiple Rust
elements, and also makes it unnecessary to use a special instance struct
so the default works well.
gir has been fixed to omit all unnecessary imports from objects, enums
and flags which currently are the only offenders of this linter warning.
Hence disallow this warning from now on which is anyway not applied to
every crate - like gstreamer-gl - where such issues have been uncovered.
This is closer to how this works in Python and also how properties and
signals work now in the glib bindings.
class_init() only has to be implemented for more special uses now.
SDPMessage, FlowCombiner and ParseContext have specific functions
available to perform copying, freeing and (un)ref'ing. Calling them
directly on versions where they are supported prevents us from going
through GType machinery and locks that end up the same functions in the
end.
