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 generator is now solely in charge of the output path. Besides, only
few crates were inconsistently defining this path while the rest was
leaving it up to a default or the path specified on the cmdline.
The `lgpl-docs` crate and all precompiled (easy to get outdated!)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.
Using `.ok()` is more concise when loosing error context in favour of a
simple `None` value.
Automatic replacement SSR pattern in rust-analyzer:
{let $a = $b;match $c {Ok($d) => Some($e), Err(_) => None }} ==>> {$b.ok()}
Note that rust-analyzer does not support:
- duplicate labels (ie. $c should be equal to $a, and $e equal to $d);
- statement lists yet, hence both sides are wrapped in braces.
But it performs the desired operation well enough here.
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.
