[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v7 02/10] utils: ipc: add templates for code generation for IPC mechanism

Paul Elder paul.elder at ideasonboard.com
Thu Feb 11 08:17:57 CET 2021


Add templates to mojo to generate code for the IPC mechanism. These
templates generate:
- module header
- module serializer
- IPA proxy cpp, header, and worker

Given an input data definition mojom file for a pipeline.

Changes in v7:
- cosmetic changes, add a few todos
- use the new sendSync/sendAsync IPCPipe API
  - save the sequence number in the proxy
  - construct the header before calling sendSync/sendAsync (from the
    proxy)
- replace genHeader and genSerdes with skipHeader and skipSerdes in
  core.mojom

Changes in v6:
- add templates for core_ipa_interface.h and core_ipa_serializer.h
  - for libcamera types defined in mojom
- rename everything to {{module_name}}_ipa_{interface,proxy,proxy_worker}.{c,h}
- remove #include <libcamera/ipa/{{module_name}}.h
- support customizable start()
- remove the need for per-pipeline ControlInfoMap
- add todo for avoiding intermediate vectors
- remove postfix underscore for generated struct fields
- support structs that are members of vectors/maps that aren't defined
  in mojom (in mojom)
- fix has_fd detection
- namespacing is now required in mojom, in the form of ^ipa\.[0-9A-Za-z_]+
- support consts in mojom
- make the pseudo-switch-case in the python generator nicer

Changes in v5:
- add a usage output to the proxy worker, to document the interface for
  executing the proxy worker
- in the mojom generator python script:
  - removed unused things (imports, functions, jinja exports)
  - document GetNameForElement
  - rename everything cb -> event
  - refactor Method{Input,Output}HasFd with a helper MethodParamsHaveFd
  - add Get{Main,Event}Interface to fix the interface_{main,event} jinja
    exports
  - add copyright
  - require that event interfaces have at least one event
- expand copyright for templates
- use new sendSync/sendAsync API (with IPCMessage)
- rename a bunch of things

Changes in v4:
For the non-template files:
- rename IPA{pipeline_name}CallbackInterface to
  IPA{pipeline_name}EventInterface
  - to avoid the notion of "callback" and emphasize that it's an event
- add support for strings in custom structs
- add validation, that async methods must not have return values
  - it throws exception and isn't very clear though...?
- rename controls to libcamera::{pipeline_name}::controls (controls is
  now lowercase)
- rename {pipeline_name}_generated.h to {pipeline_name}_ipa_interface.h,
  and {pipeline_name}_serializer.h to {pipeline_name}_ipa_serializer.h
  - same for their corresponding template files
For the template files:
- fix spacing (now it's all {{var}} instead of some {{ var }})
  - except if it's code, so code is still {{ code }}
- move inclusion of corresponding header to first in the inclusion list
- fix copy&paste errors
- change snake_case to camelCase in the generated code
  - template code still uses snake_case
- change the generated command enums to an enum class, and make it
  capitalized (instead of allcaps)
- add length checks to recvIPC (in proxy)
- fix some template spacing
- don't use const for PODs in function/signal parameters
- add the proper length checks to readPOD/appendPOD
  - the helper functions for reading and writing PODs to and from
    serialized data
- rename readUInt/appendUInt to readPOD/appendPOD
- add support for strings in custom structs

Changes in v3:
- add support for namespaces
- fix enum assignment (used to have +1 for CMD applied to all enums)
- use readHeader, writeHeader, and eraseHeader as static class functions
  of IPAIPCUnixSocket (in the proxy worker)
- add requirement that base controls *must* be defined in
  libcamera::{pipeline_name}::Controls

Changes in v2:
- mandate the main and callback interfaces, and init(), start(), stop()
  and their parameters
- fix returning single pod value from IPC-called function
- add licenses
- improve auto-generated message
- other fixes related to serdes
