[Libvisual-devel] VisObject

[Dennis S. <sy...@yo...>]

Alright, most of the libvisual system is now in the VisObject fashion.

This introduces the following API functions:

VisObject *visual_object_new (void);
int visual_object_free (VisObject *object);
int visual_object_destroy (VisObject *object);

int visual_object_ref (VisObject *object);
int visual_object_unref (VisObject *object);

int visual_object_set_private (VisObject *object, void *priv);
void *visual_object_get_private (VisObject *object);



Nearly every libvisual structure (like VisActor / VisSongInfo etc etc)
can be cast into a VisObject using object = VISUAL_OBJECT (actor);

This way we provide a generalized ref counting interface. That
also supports complex object desctructors that are set at object
creation. With this change most of the other _free and _destroy
functions are history and object disposing should be done using
an visual_object_unref, and if you're really sure visual_object_destroy.

To get this working, EVERY libvisual module needs a recompile.

I haven't updated lvdisplay to this, Vitaly would you like to take
a look at VisObjectifying lvdisplay ?

VisUI and lv_plugin.c still needs to be done, I will most likely do
that tomorrow in the evening.

Cheers,
Dennis
