Adds a simple signal reference counting function
(signal_handler_connect_ref) that makes it so that signals keep the
handler around until the all the signal itself is disconnected. This
prevents potential crashes where a signal might try to disconnect after
a handler has already been destroyed (typically in C++ with
OBSSignalHandler helper objects, where destruction isn't guaranteed to
be predictable).
This also modifies OBSSignalHandler to use the reference-counting
connections.
Convenience function that allows removing the current signal handler
callback within the callback without having to use
signal_handler_disconnect with all of its required parameters.
It's possible for one signal handler to disconnect another during signal_handler_signal, which could result in crashes when the disconnected signal handler is called with a potentially freed data pointer due to other cleanup.
Typedef pointers are unsafe. If you do:
typedef struct bla *bla_t;
then you cannot use it as a constant, such as: const bla_t, because
that constant will be to the pointer itself rather than to the
underlying data. I admit this was a fundamental mistake that must
be corrected.
All typedefs that were pointer types will now have their pointers
removed from the type itself, and the pointers will be used when they
are actually used as variables/parameters/returns instead.
This does not break ABI though, which is pretty nice.
I encountered a situation where I wanted to delete a callback for a
signal while inside of that signal. However it would hard lock, and
even after that, it would mess up the loop for the callback list.
So, change the mutex of the individual signals to a recursive-style
mutex, and then if a callback of a signal is deleted while currently in
that signal, just mark it for deletion, which will happen after the
signal is complete.
- Signals and dynamic callbacks now require declarations to be made
before being used. What this does is allows us to get information
about the functions dynamically which can be relayed to the user and
plugins for future extended usage (this should have big implications
later for scripting in particular, hopefully).
- Reduced the number of types calldata uses from "everything I could
think of" to simply integer, float, bool, pointer/object, string.
Integer data is now stored as long long. Floats are now stored as
doubles (check em).
- Use a more consistent naming scheme for lexer error/warning macros.
- Fixed a rather nasty bug where switching to an existing scene would
cause it to increment sourceSceneRefs, which would mean that it would
never end up never properly removing the source when the user clicks
removed (stayed in limbo, obs_source_remove never got called)
