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.
When a source/output/etc has a property of a 'list' type, there was no
way to get the names associated with its values. That, and it only
supported lists of either text, or enums (0..[value] only).
Now, you can associate translated names with those values, and use
integer, float, or string values. Put it all in to one function as well
to simplify its usage.
I plan on using this to help get enumerations from devices/etc for
certain types of sources. For example, if I get the properties of an
audio source, I'd like to have a list of available devices with it as
well.
- 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)
