[Libvisual-devel] Libvisual config registry and serialize stuff.

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

Please take a look, comment if needed. If nothing comes in I will
start implementing this tomorrow.


The basics:


/* Registry control */
struct _VisConfigRegistry {
        char *filename;

        VisList *sections;
};

struct _VisConfigRegistrySection {
        char *name;

        char *data;
};

VisConfigRegistry *visual_config_registry_new ();
VisConfigRegistry *visual_config_registry_open (char *configfile);

VisConfigRegistrySection *visual_config_registry_section_new ();
VisConfigRegistrySection *visual_config_registry_section
(VisConfigRegistry *registry, char *name);
VisConfigRegistrySection *visual_config_registry_section_open (char
*name, char *configfile);

visual_config_registry_write_by_data (VisConfigRegistry *registry, char
*name, char *data);
visual_config_registry_write (VisConfigRegistry *registry,
VisConfigRegistrySection *section);

// add some methods that write the registry in mem only, handy with avs
presets, later on :)

NOTE: There will be some control of where the config file is, if we
should write, or even read using
the global config VisParamContainer.

/* Param (de)serialize control */
visual_param_deserialize_from_section (VisParamEntry *param,
VisConfigRegistrySection *section);
visual_param_deserialize_from_data (VisParamEntry *param, char *data);

visual_param_serialize_from_section (VisParamEntry *param,
VisConfigRegistrySection *section);
visual_param_serialize_from_data (VisParamEntry *param, char **data);

visual_param_container_deserialize_namespace (VisParamContainer
*container, VisConfigRegistry *registry,
        const char *namespace); // for example
"Libvisual:core:actor:oinksie" could be a namespace
                                // Libvisual:core:actor:oinksie:blur
could be a type member.

visual_param_container_serialize_namespace (VisParamContainer
*container, VisConfigRegistry *registry,
        const char *namespace);
