[libcamera-devel] [PATCH 8/8] libcamera: pipeline_handler: Implement factories through class templates

Mon Oct 3 23:21:28 CEST 2022


The REGISTER_PIPELINE_HANDLER() macro defines a class type that inherits
from the PipelineHandlerFactory class, and implements a constructor and
a createInstance() function. Replace the code generation through macro
with the C++ equivalent, a class template, as done in libipa with the
Algorithm and CameraSensorHelper factories.
