The libcamera internal headers are located in src/libcamera/include/.
The directory is added to the compiler headers search path with a meson
include_directories() directive, and internal headers are included with
(e.g. for the internal semaphore.h header)
#include "semaphore.h"
All was well, until libcxx decided to implement the C++20
synchronization library. The __threading_support header gained a
#include <semaphore.h>
to include the pthread's semaphore support. As include_directories()
adds src/libcamera/include/ to the compiler search path with -I, the
internal semaphore.h is included instead of the pthread version.
Needless to say, the compiler isn't happy.
Three options have been considered to fix this issue:
- Use -iquote instead of -I. The -iquote option instructs gcc to only
consider the header search path for headers included with the ""
version. Meson unfortunately doesn't support this option.
- Rename the internal semaphore.h header. This was deemed to be the
beginning of a long whack-a-mole game, where namespace clashes with
system libraries would appear over time (possibly dependent on
particular system configurations) and would need to be constantly
fixed.
- Move the internal headers to another directory to create a unique
namespace through path components. This causes lots of churn in all
the existing source files through the all project.
The first option would be best, but isn't available to us due to missing
support in meson. Even if -iquote support was added, we would need to
fix the problem before a new version of meson containing the required
support would be released.
The third option is thus the only practical solution available. Bite the
bullet, and do it, moving headers to include/libcamera/internal/.

In an attempt to clarify the license terms of all files in the libcamera
project, the build system files deserve particular attention. While they
describe how the binaries are created, they are not themselves
transformed into any part of binary distributions of the software, and
thus don't influence the copyright on the binary packages. They are
however subject to copyright, and thus influence the distribution terms
of the source packages.
Most of the meson.build files would not meet the threshold of
originality criteria required for copyright protection. Some of the more
complex meson.build files may be eligible for copyright protection. To
avoid any ambiguity and uncertainty, state our intent to not assert
copyrights on the build system files by putting them in the public
domain with the CC0-1.0 license.

For all tests that don't otherwise require access to the camera manager,
get the event dispatcher from the current thread instead of the camera
manager. This prepares for the removal of CameraManager::instance().

The IPA, IPC and Stream tests are self-contained so they can run in

Test that the IPC supports sending data and file descriptors over the
IPC medium. To be able to execute the test two parts are needed, one
to drive the test and act as the libcamera (master) and a one to act as
the IPA (slave).
The master drives the testing posting requests to the slave to process
and sometimes respond to. A few different tests are performed.
- Master sends an array to the slave which responds with a reversed copy
of the array. The master verifies that a reversed array is returned.
- Master tries to send an empty message making sure that the send call
fails.
- Master sends a list of file descriptors and ask the slave to calculate
and respond with the sum of the size of the files. The master verifies
that the calculated size is correct.
- Master sends a pre-computed size and a list of file descriptors and
asks the slave to verify that the pre-computed size matches the sum of
the size of the file descriptors.
- Master sends two file descriptors and asks the slave to join the file
contents in a new file and respond with its file descriptor. The
master then verifies that the content of the returned file descriptor
matches the order of the original two files.
