[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v4 4/7] utils: ipc: Add support for Flags

Paul Elder paul.elder at ideasonboard.com
Tue Aug 30 01:30:14 CEST 2022


Add Flags<E> as a supported type in the IPA interface.

It is used in mojom with the [flags] attribute. Any field or parameter
type E that is prefixed with the [flags] attribute will direct the code
generator to generate the type name "Flags<E>" and appropriate
serialization/deserialization code for Flags<E> instead of for E.

It is usable and has been tested in struct members, function input and
output parameters, and Signal parameters. This does not add support for
returning Flags as direct return values.

Additionally, the [scopedEnum] attribute can be used on enum
definitions, which will instruct the code generator to convert it to an
enum class instead of a raw enum.

Changes in v4:
- make flags also passed directly (as opposed to const references)

Changes in v3.1:
- add documentation of [scopedEnum] and [flags] to core.mojom
  - it's not the best place, but better somewhere than nowhere for now

Changes in v3:
- change flags attribute from [Flags] to [flags]
- make it so that enum input parameters are passed directly (as opposed
  to const references)
- to turn enum definitions in mojom to enum classes, use the
  [scopedEnum] attribute (as opposed to the [Flags] attribute in v2)
  - correspondingly, the function in the mojom generator python script
    is separated out from IsFlags() into IsScoped()
- clean up IsFlags()
- simplify GetFullNameForElement() for flags

Question for reviewers (in v2): Should we use a different attribute name to
specify that an enum should be an enum class?

Answer (in v3): Yes; that attribute name is [scopedEnum]

Changes in v2:
- Use mojom attribute to specify that a field should be Flags<E>,
  instead of using a magic type name format
