* sfi/glib-extra.h:
* sfi/sfiglueproxy.h: added G_GNUC_NULL_TERMINATED to function ellipsis,
patch by Stefan Westerfeld from bug #344388.

* sfiwrapper.h: Remove cyclic include dependancy between sfiwrapper.h
and sfitypes.h by not longer including sfitypes.h. This will allow
using things defined here in sfitypes.h, which was not possible
before.

* sfitypes.h: Use int64 instead of gint64 for SfiTime/SfiNum, which
expands to long long on both, 32- and 64-bit systems. This will make
printf ("%lld", some_sfi_num) a valid printf format (as seen by gcc),
and thus some compiler warnings disappear with this change. Fixes:
#456879.

* sfiwrapper.h: When compiled in C++ sources, use [u]int16/32/...
typedefs from Birnet instead of providing own typedefs. This allows
using these types in C++ sources which are using namespace Birnet.
Fixes #456408.

* sfiwrapper.cc: Since this is a C++ source, after the change above,
birnet/birnetutils.hh will already get included in sfi/sfiwrapper.h.
But then, undefining BIRNET__RUNTIME_PROBLEM afterwards will create
compile errors in the other birnet headers which are included after
sfi/sfiwrapper.h, because they rely on a definition provided by
birnet/birnetutils.hh. So I am removing the #undef, which doesn't seem
to have any useful purpose anyway.

* sfidl-*[hc]: Refactored some code in order to remove unneccessary
include files and to avoid "using namespace std;".

* sfidl-typelist.hh:
* sfidl-corec.hh:
* sfidl-corecxx.hh:
* Makefile.am: Remove include files that are not really needed any
more.

* Makefile.am:
* sfidl-utils.hh: Added include central file which provides String and
string_* helper functions by using them from birnet.

* sfidl-*[hc]: Use String instead of std::string.

* sfidl-parser.cc: Don't use g_strdup_printf, but g_ascii_formatd for
formatting doubles (locale independency). Some simplification could be
achieved by switching from char* to std::string for some code.
Fix #424897 "Bad code generated for double constants by sfidl".

* sfidl-parser.hh:
* sfidl-parser.cc:
* sfidl-corecxx.cc: Use birnet functions to convert between strings
and integers, instead of reimplementing our own version.

* sfidl-generator.cc: Use birnet function string_tolower, instead of
reimplementing our own version.

* Makefile.am: Start linking sfidl against birnet, as we use birnet
string helper functions now.

* tests/testidl.idl:
* tests/misctests.c: Test that the code generator output for doubles
is correct (see #424897), by computing a record default with a
double division and checking its result.

* sfidl-corec.cc: Fix a compiler warning by using "%zd" as printf
format where appropriate.

* updated all licenses to GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1
with permission from Stefan Westerfeld where required.

* sfiwrapper.h, sfiwrapper.cc: wrapped Birnet::DebugChannel with
SfiDebugChannel API.

variables. This avoids printf compiler warnings on AMD64.

* sfidl-parser.hh: Use Birnet::int64 instead of gint64 avoids printf
compiler warnings on AMD64.

* sfiwrapper.h, sfiwrapper.cc: wrapped C++ Msg API.

* sfidl-parser.cc (parseParamHints): serialize int parameters with LL
prefix, to allow values >= 2^31.

* sfitests.h (sfi_init_test): setup CPU name similar to birnet_init_test().

* sfitests.h, sfiwrapper.cc: adapt to init settings changes.

* sfitests.h: header file to be included by test programs.

* sfiwrapper.cc, sfiwrapper.h: provide integer types.

* sfiprimitives.h, sfiprimitives.c: removed obsolete Ring code.

* tests/ring.c: test SfiRing thoroughly.
moved here from birnet/tests/ring.cc, renamed to use SfiRing.

* tests/Makefile.am:
* Makefile.am: build and integrate sfi/tests/.

* sfifilecrawler.[hc]: removed sfi_file_check() and sfi_file_equals()
which are now provided and tested by libbirnet.

* sfitypes.h: include birnet.h before glib-extra.h for _GNU_SOURCE to
take effect.

* sfidl-parser.hh: Added G_GNUC_PRINTF printf format attribute to the
functions Parser::printWarning and Parser::printError.

* testsfidl.cc: Fixed a strange assertion which looked like this:
TASSERT (a == b == 1). Correct is TASSERT (a == 1); TASSERT (b == 1).

* glib-extra.h: removed definition of G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE() which is
supplied by stock glib-2.6.

* sficxx.hh: fixed reference counting and related assertions for
records, fblocks, bblocks and objects.

* sfidl-corec.cc: namespace prefixing fixup.

* sfidl-parser.cc: Fixes for gcc-4.2 snapshot related to anonymous
namespaces.

* glib-extra.[hc]: g_intern_(static)_string only needs to be provided
for old glib versions (< glib-2.9.0).

* Makefile.am: get rid of sficonfig.h. generate partial library libsfi.o.
* dummy.cc: dummy file used to force C++ program linkage.

* glib-extra.[hc]: removed GScanner clone.
g_scanner_new64(): turned into a g_scanner_new() wrapper that ensures 64bit mode.

* sfi/sfithreads.[hc]: removed, functionality is provided by libbirnet now.

* *.[hc]: use functions from the birnet_ namespace for threading and messages.

* sficxx.h: removed, contents are provided by sficxx.hh now.

* sfidl-parser.cc: fixed 64bit scanner config.

* sfitypes.c: removed old init code.

* sfitypes.h: provide message function aliases in the sfi namespace to ease
transition.

* testsfi.c: fixed initialization.

* sficxx.hh: CVS copied from sficxx.h, because this is a C++ header.

* sfifilecrawler.c:
* sfilog.c:
* sfiprimitives.c:
* sfithreads.c:
* sfitime.c: ported documentation to doxer format.

* sfidl-corecxx.cc: pass file/line information to pspec constructors.

* sfidl-parser.[hc]*: added string_from_int function.

* sfitypes.h: Introduce int64 and uint64 types - within the scope of
BEAST, we guarantee that their printf format is always "%lld" (as
opposed to gint64/guint64, which requires different printf formats on
32-bit and 64-bit platforms).

* sfiprimitives.h:
* sfimemory.c: changed ring links to mimick GSList links, so we will
be able to make use of chained g_slice_free() functions.

* sfithreads.h: gcc-3.4 produces segfaulting code intentionally for
funciton casts it doesn't like (eventhough the *casting* programmer
should know better). so, cast all function pointers to (void*) before
casting them to the target type, which effectively makes gcc blind.

* sficomport.c: disable debugging message that log every
communication bit. these are of not much use really and hide
the sensible debugging messages.

* sfilog.c: don't let the message type label default to ident if
NULL is specified. callers of sfi_msg_type_label() can handle NULLs.
key_list_change(): allow key seperation by ',' and ignore spaces.

* sfilog.h, sfilog.c:
major (and hopefully final) revamp of the message/logging API.
got rid of log message keys. instead, added mechanism to create
new message types. added globally accessible message type bitmask
to quickly figure whether logging is neccessary. moved the API to
SfiMessage and sfi_msg_* namespace.

* sfithreads.h: added wrapper macros (and auxillary functions) to
access atomic integers and atomic pointers in a typesafe way.

* *.c: adapted to new debugging API.

* sficomport.h, sficomport.c: added sfi_com_port_test_reap_child().

* sfilog.h, sfilog.c: API renames for consistency.

hand it over to a message handler.

* Makefile.am: compile toyprof conditionally.

* sfilog.h, sfilog.c:
cleanups. API cleanups and consolidations. allow custom log bits.
renamed message types from SFI_LOG_* to SFI_MSG_*.

* sfilog.h, sfilog.c: made log message much richer.
messages now carry a title, a primary, a secondary message and
details messages. added sfi_log_msg() and a set of log message
formating macros SFI_MSG_*() to facilitate rich log messages.

* sfi/sfiustore.c: fixed data pointer in sfi_ppool_foreach().

* removed obsolete .h C++ headers.

* adapted sources to compile against .hh C++ headers.

* sfistore.[hc]: removed position arguemtn from SfiStoreReadBin().
it's the responsibility of the SfiStoreReadBin() implementation to
provide consequtive data blocks now.

* sfitime.c (sfi_time_from_string_err): parse dates without time
specifications for yyyy-mm-dd, mm/dd/yyyy and dd.mm.yyyy.

* sfistore.[hc]:
sfi_wstore_putf(): store floats locale independent.
sfi_wstore_putd(): store doubles locale independent.

localised printf format directives.

* sfistore.c (sfi_wstore_flush_fd): return negative errno
in case of errors.

* sfistore.[hc]: added sfi_rstore_parse_zbinary() to parse binary
block offset+length adresses zero mark relative.

* sfifilecrawler.c (errno_check_file): fixed mode="e", which
didn't proeprly call access() due to F_OK==0.

* sfiprimitives.[hc]: call sfi_ring_uniq() from sfi_ring_uniq_free_deep()
if no destroy functions is given.

* sfiprimitives.[hc]: added sfi_ring_uniq_free_deep() and
sfi_ring_copy_deep_uniq(). made sfi_ring_uniq() more efficient by
operating in place.

* testsfi.c: test sfi_ring_copy_uniq().

* sfiprimitives.c: document guaranteed properties (stable-ness,
set precedence for duplicate elements, etc.) for ring functions.

* sfilog.c: cosmetics, strip path from executable names if logging
debugging info.

* sfidl-corecxx.cc: there's no need to inline the choice
value accessor for enum types in generated code.

* sfiparams.[hc]: allow provision of a choice value array for
GEnum types by setting an accessor function with
sfi_enum_type_set_choice_value_getter().

* sfidl-corecxx.cc: call property_changed() in response to automated
properties. changed property_changed() to return a bool which indicates
whether update_modules() needs to be called after property_changed().
adapted all usages.

* sfiserial.c (sfi_serialize_primitives): relaxed parsing strictness
for booleans, so we parse any int and float as boolean now.

* sfistore.c (sfi_rstore_new_open): fail to open directories,
block devices or symbolic links.

* sfidl-generator.cc(splitName): Fix splitting of "Bse::FFTSize" to
"Bse", "FFT" and "Size", using the rule that more than two upper case
letters followed by a lower case letter indicate a word boundary.

* testsfidl.cc: Added "Bse::FFTSize", "XWindows::WMHints" to test the
new rule.

* sfidl-parser.*: Parse #pragma lines into Pragma structures, which can
then be retrieved by individual language bindings using
parser.getPragmas ("SomeBinding"). This will ret

* sfidl-clientc.*: Support new #pragma lines:
#pragma SFIDL ClientC::binding_specific_c_header "foo.h"
#pragma SFIDL ClientC::binding_specific_c_source "foo.c"
They allow including custom C code into the generated output.

* sfitypes.c (sfi_choice_match_detailed): always match on word
boundary only.

* glib-extra.h (g_static_assert): g++-3.4 doesn't accept structure casts
in constant expressions (e.g. G_STRUCT_OFFSET (GPollFD, fd) ==
G_STRUCT_OFFSET (struct pollfd, fd)), so implement static_assert() via
negative array sizes.

* sfitime.c (sfi_time_from_string_err): fixed up mktime() usage by
temporarily unsetting $TZ, use timgm() if available.

* sfiprimitives.[hc]:
sfi_pointer_cmp(): renamed from sfi_compare_pointers(), changed users.
sfi_ring_uniq(): made this an ring modifying rather than copying
function. this plugs some leaks in current function usages.
sfi_ring_copy_uniq(): copy ring and remove duplicates.

* testsfi.c: adapt to sfi_ring_uniq() modifying inplace now.

* sfithreads.[hc]: reworked hazard pointer guard API.
sfi_guard_register(): provide an array of hazard pointers in
O(1) time if this thread previously deregistered an array
of sufficient size.
sfi_guard_protect(): renamed from sfi_guard_store(), require
array index to adress hazard pointer within guard.
sfi_guard_n_snap_values(): renamed.
sfi_guard_snap_values(): renamed, provide ordering guarantee.
sfi_guard_is_protected(): provide ordering guarantee.

* sfithreads.[hc]: implemented hazard pointers or thread guards.

around a GLib-2.4 bug.
added g_static_assert() to perform compile time assertions.

* sficxx.h:
* sfivalues.c:
* sfidl-corec.cc:
* glib-extra.h: did code cleanups possible with Glib-2.4.

* sfiparams.c: fixed param-spec leaks.

* sfilog.[hc]: changed logging to use a handler per-thread.

* sfiprimitives.[hc]: added sfi_seq_validate().

* sfilog.[hc]: revamped logging API. sfi_warn() became sfi_warning().
sfi_error(), sfi_warning(), sfi_info() and sfi_diag() do not take an
extra argument anymore. they are meant to indicate user visible errors,
warnings and informations, and if requested, diagnostics.
new variants exist for user configurable error, warning and information
messages: sfi_error_msg(), sfi_warning_msg(), sfi_info_msg(). these
take an extra configuration relevant (and translated) argument.
some more API cleanups wrg logging system configuration.

* sfithreads.[hc]: added sfi_thread_get_pid(), sfi_thread_get_name().

* sfifilecrawler.[hc]: added sfi_file_check() and sfi_file_equals()
(based on functions from bse/gslcommon.c). documented g_file_test_all().

implementations.

* sfidl-corecxx.cc: generate class definiiitions which may contain
function bodies after all other types have been prototyped, declared
and defined.

* sfidl-corecxx.cc: added class_has_automation_properties().
implemented code geenration for automated property handling.
call set_accessors() from class_init() and supply trampolines
for set_property(), get_property(), editable_property(),
get_candidates() and property_updated().
editable_property() and get_candidates() are virtual to allow
custom implementations in effects.

* sfidl-corecxx.cc: provide a IDType typedef in the synthesis module
property structures for the property type IDs use by the implementing
effect base object. provide an AutoUpdateCategory typedef in the
efefct base object which aliases Synthesis:Module::NeedAutoUpdateTag
for effects with :automate: properties.

* sfidl-parser.cc: Fixes: printWarning/printError should never be
called with a "\n", as this is added implicitely. When a warning is
printed, the output now says so ("warning: ...").

* sfidl-parser.hh sfidl-parser.cc: Provide label, blurb and options of
a pspec constructor in the Param struct. Also try to unescape and
evaluate options to options_literal, a ready-to-use concatenated
version of the string without \" and similar constructs. Throw a
warning if this evaluation fails.

* sfiparams.[hc]: const fixups.

* glib-extra.[hc]: added g_intern_printf() to return a static printf-
formatted string for which a quark exists.

* sfiprimitives.c (sfi_ring_reorder): fixed pointer comparision
function that caused an unsorted intermediate structure.

* testsfi.c (test_sfi_ring): added one more sfi_ring_reorder() test.

* sfi/sfidl-parser.hh:
* sfi/sfidl-parser.cc: implemented ConstIdent, a constant able to hold
an identifier.

* glib-extra.c: g_option_find_value(): match +/- option modifiers only
at option boundaries, allow = after option name for value assignments.

* sfiparams.h: more preliminary pspec option documentation.

* sfiprimitives.[hc]:
sfi_ring_reorder(): changed this into a ring modifying function without
the need of a custom cmp function.
properly handle duplicates in the unordered list.
ring_reorder_lookup(): fixed off-by-one error when adjusting offset,
got rid of calling compare function by using pointer comparisons.

* testsfi.c: more sfi_ring_reorder() tests.

* sficomport.c (sfi_com_port_send_bulk): in case the comport got
disconnected, don't free values not belonging to the port.

* sfimemory.c: disabled block-allocator, use malloc/free instead. there's
no platform currently where we have performance problems with malloc/free.

* sfiserial.[hc]: added sfi_value_store_stderr() to allow easy debugging
of marshalled value contents.

* sfiprimitives.[hc]: const fixes for SfiRing.
added sfi_ring_reorder() to "unsort" a ring.

* sfifilecrawler.c: caller fixup.

* testsfi.c: ring reordering tests.

* sfiprimitives.[hc]: added SfiRing methods: sfi_ring_insert_before(),
sfi_ring_insert(), sfi_ring_position(), sfi_ring_index().

* sfidl-corec.cc: use make_TYPE_MACRO() instead of makeGTypeName().
don't use typeArray() of CodeGeneratorCBase, that's simply type + "*".
roll out own pspec constructor function construct_pspec() which is
simpler than that of CodeGeneratorCBase. removed cruft.
changed base type to CodeGenerator, as there's nothing left we'd
use from CBase. (this also fixes SfiProxy uses instead BseItem in
the core binding).

* sfigluecodec.c (decoder_proxy_get_pspec): don't try to free NULL pspecs.

* sfiglueproxy.c (sfi_glue_proxy_disconnect): acdept any_signal as
well as any-signal.

* sficxx.h: implement iterators for sequences and fblocks.

* sfiprimitives.[hc]: allow foreign memory regions for fblocks.

* sfithreads.c: use syscall (__NR_gettid) instead of
_syscall0() which isn't present on ia64 linux. fixed
initial accounting values.

* sfiprimitives.[hc]: added sfi_ring_from_list(),
sfi_ring_from_list_and_free(), sfi_ring_from_slist() and
sfi_ring_from_slist_and_free() ring constructors.

* sfiprimitives.[hc]:
added SfiCompareFunc(), sfi_compare_pointers() and a set of
new ring methods:

* sfidl-corecxx.cc: generate *Properties structure for synthesis modules
regardless of whether the object has properties or not (since the module
API depends on the structure's presence).
similar for the *PropertyID numeration.

* glib-extra.[hc]: added g_predicate_idle_add() and *full() variant, to
install an idle handler with condition.

* sfidl-parser.hh: with gcc-3.4, finding memebers of a dependant base
in template definitions will only work with qualified names, so use
this->end() instead of just end() as iterator from the base.

* glib-extra.h: added G_DEFINE_DATA_TYPE() and variants to have
simple type creation macros for types that use class_data or
real_class in the init functions.

* sfiparams.h: added SFI_PARAM_GUI_READABLE.

* sfidl-corecxx.cc: procedure generation fix.

* sfithreads.[hc]: implemented thread naming and usage accounting.

* sfidl-corecxx.cc: use sfi_category_concat() to fixup categories.
support translated categories.

* sfitypes.[hc]: added helper function sfi_category_concat().

* sfilog.[hc]: rewrite of the logging/debugging system.
debugging messages still need a key, diagnostics and
simple messages are as easy as printf() to sdterr and
everything else requires log context information for
message configuration.

* *.c: adapted log, error, warning and debugging messages.

* sficomwire.c (sfi_com_spawn_async): set child_pid to 0 upon failure.

* glib-extra.h: small glib-2.4.0 compat addition.

* sfithreads.c (thread_get_tid): minor preprocessor condition fix.

* sfidl.cc: Don't use optind any longer, since we also don't use
getopt() any longer. This fixes compilation on systems where optind
is not declared in those header files sfidl.cc directly/indirectly
includes.

* sfidl-corecxx.cc: fixed choice serialization type in to_rec() impls.

* sfidl-parser.cc (parseInfoOptional): lowercase info keys before
entering (key,value) pairs into the info map, since all read-outs
use lowercase keys.

* sfitypes.[hc]: removed sfi_boxed_make_record(),
sfi_boxed_get_record_info(), sfi_info_string_find(),
sfi_boxed_make_sequence() and sfi_boxed_get_sequence_info()
which are now unused. changed callers.

* sfidl-corecxx.cc: provide namespace to BSE_CXX_DECLARED_*_TYPE()
macro generations. fix to_rec() and to_seq() method generations
by using SFI types instead of boxed types for the resulting record
fields. provide resizing constructor for egenrated sequences.
initialize GEnumValue values from actual enum value symbols.
assign implementation values as specified in the idl files to
enum value symbols, since this is a core binding.

* sfidl-corec.cc: turned the core-c binding into a C++ wrapper that
depends on the core-cxx binding. lots of cleanups and fixes.

* sficxx.h: added set_boxed() method to record handles.

* Makefile.am: generate a testidl binding with --host-c as
--core-c depends on a C++ binding.

* testsfi.c: disabled tests that depend on the old --core-c.

* sfidl-corecxx.cc: added --macro option wich generates a macro to
register all types contained in an idl file.

* sfidl-corec.hh:
* sfidl-corec.cc: major reorganization of the code. split up
generation into multiple digestible functions.
implement CoreC code generator in internal namespace and inline
methods.

* sfidl-corecxx.cc: fixed i18n and identifier issues with
ichannel/jchannel/ochannel registration.

* sfi/sfidl-parser.[hc]*: streams have ident, label and blurb, where
label and blurb are subject to i18n.

* glib-extra.[hc]: removed legacy v_int parsing code from GScanner,
use v_int64 solely now. renamed creation function to g_scanner_new64(),
to catch old glib scanner uses.

* testsfi.c:
* sfistore.c:
* sficomport.c: 64bit integer scanning fixes.

* sfidl-parser.[hc]*: 64bit parsing ans Constant handling fixes, allow '+'
as number sign besides '-'.

* sficomwire.c (sfi_com_spawn_async): drop nice-level after forking.

* sfithreads.[hc]: added sfi_thread_self_pid() which returns the threads
thread id, regardless of multiple threads using the same pid.
(sfi_thread_run): added hack to filter out bogus "Priorities can only be
increased by root." warnings from glib around thread creation.

* sfidl-cbase.*
* sfidl-clientc.*:
* sfidl-clientcxx.*:
* sfidl-corec.*:
* sfidl-corecxx.*:
* sfidl-factory.*:
* sfidl-generator.*:
* sfidl-hostc.*:
* sfidl-typelist.*:
* testsfidl.cc:
* sfidl-options.*: Don't parse language specific options in the Option
class - let the code generators parse them themselves. Print help for
bindings in the CodeGenerators with the new virtual
CodeGenerator::help() function.

* sfidl-parser.*: Report filename/line for missing include files.

* sfidl-parser.cc: Fixed bug - code generated will be generated for
types defined directly in stdin (using sfidl -).

* testidl.idl: Added a choice definition containing all syntactically
valid ways of defining a choice value.

* testidl.c: Added _(x) macro: translates "example" to "example_tr".

* sfidl-parser.cc (parseChoiceValue): fix simple assigments to
choice values.

* sfidl-parser.cc: Bugfix: It is now possible to use fully qualified
constant names (such as Bse::STANDARD) within param specs.

* sfidl-clientc.* sfidl-hostc.* sfidl-cbase.*: Code cleanup of the
--host-c binding. Moved common functionality from CodeGeneratorClientC
and CodeGeneratorHostC to CodeGeneratorCBase.

* sfidl-options.cc: Don't suggest the user to specify --interface or
--implementation (these flags don't exist any longer).

* sfidl-options.*: Remove generateConstant, generateSignalStuff and
generateProcedures option. The first two were not really used, and
each language binding knows whether to generate procedures or not (the
client bindings do, the other bindings don't).

* sfidl-clientc.*: Code cleanup: splitted the run() method in lots
of smaller methods. Adapted to the changes in the Options class.

* sfidl-corec.cc sfidl-hostc.cc: Adapted to the changes in the Options
class. Started code cleanup.

* sfidl-clientcxx.cc: Fixed bug - there shouldn't be info string based
information in the binding generated for records/sequences.

* sfidl-generator.*: Removed CodeGeneratorQt (and the --qt option),
which didn't do anything useful until now, anyway.

* sfidl-generator.*: Put seperate classes in seperate files. So this
now should contain class CodeGenerator, nothing more.

* sfidl-cbase.* sfidl-cxxbase.*: Base classes for C / C++ language
bindings (from sfidl-generator.cc).

* sfidl-clientc.* sfidl-hostc.* sfidl-corec.*: Three new C language
bindings (--client-c --host-c --core-c), all containing the code from
sfidl-generator.cc

* sfidl-corecxx.*: Rename from sfidl-module.*.

* sfidl-clientcxx.*: Rename from sfidl-cxx.*. Moved some stuff from
the CodeGeneratorCxxBase to CodeGeneratorClientCxx, since the core
binding will not use it.

* sfidl-module.* sfidl-cxx.*: Removed (contents are sfidl-corecxx.*
and sfidl-clientcxx.* now).

* sfidl-options.cc: Stripped --boxed --interface --implementation
options: these are selected implicitely by selecting the language
binding.

* sfidl.cc: No longer default one language binding (CodeGeneratorC).

* Makefile.am: Adapted to the new sfidl file structure, and the new
options.

* cvs copied sfidl sources:

* sfidl-cbase.cc, sfidl-cbase.hh:
* sfidl-hostc.cc, sfidl-hostc.hh:
* sfidl-corec.cc, sfidl-corec.hh:
* sfidl-clientc.cc, sfidl-clientc.hh: from sfidl-generator.*

* sfidl-clientcxx.cc, sfidl-clientcxx.hh: from sfidl-cxx.*

* sfidl-corecxx.cc, sfidl-corecxx.hh: from sfidl-module.*

* sfidl-cxxbase.cc, sfidl-cxxbase.hh: from sfidl-cxx.*

* sfiparams.[hc]: allowed choice values to have translatable labels
and blurbs, the canonical identifier is named choice_ident now, adapted
callers.

* sfidl-generator.cc: provide choice values through a funciton,
not a static array, so we can translate the choice value label
and blurb. provide value conversion implementations.

* sfidl-module.cc: translate choice values.

* sfidl-parser.[hc]*: fix v_int64 access of scanner values.
made parseChoiceValue() accept translated labels and blurbs for choice
values. made choice value number assignment optional.

* sfidl-cxx.cc: fixed sizeof() vs. G_N_ELEMENTS().

* sfinote.c (is_note_letter): fixed missing to_lower().

* sfinote.c (sfi_note_from_string_err): in addition to parsing notes
like Cis-1, support #C-1 and C#-1. also, support H as alias for B.

* sfinote.c: strip whitespaces from string before attempting to parse
notes.

* sfiserial.c: avoide unnecessary newlines before sequences and records.

* sfitime.c (_sfi_init_time): applied fix from Rasmus Kaj <kaj@e.kth.se>
to find out the GMT offset on FreeBSD and linux. edited to preserve
portability history.

* sfiprimitives.c: applied sfi_seq_append_empty() code simplification
patch from Stefan Westerfeld.

* sfiglue.c: same here.

* bse-plugin-generator.c: removed this file.

* Makefile.am: install sfidl instead of bse-plugin-generator.

* sfitypes.c (sfi_choice_match_detailed): only match partial choice
names starting at word boundaries.

* sfiustore.[hc]: added sfi_upool_list() function to list ids in a pool.

* sfivalues.[hc]:
(sfi_value_choice2enum):
(sfi_choice2enum): match choices against enum value names only, since
nicks are going to be used for the GUI and since the partial and
canonifying matching supported by sfi_choice_match_detailed() already
xceeds the flexibility provided by nicks by orders of magnitude.
(sfi_choice2enum_checked): introduced error-checking version of
sfi_choice2enum().
(sfi_enum2choice): provide choices in schme-canonified form (lower
case, delimited by '-').

* sfilog.c: Speed optimization: Lookup the GQuark for the sfi log
key in the init function instead of during each log message.

* sfivalues.c: Speed optimization: Use sfi_categorize_type() to find
out which type src_value has in sfi_value_copy_deep(), instead of
multiple if statements.

* sfifilecrawler.[hc]: added sfi_make_dirname_path() to easily
create all directories required by a filename.
added sfi_path_get_filename() to create absolte filenames,
properly expanding ~ and ~USER.

* sfiserial.c: serialize :hex ints by writing out hexadecimal numbers.

* sfidl-module.cc: remove --module option. select the core
C++ language binding via --core-cxx or via --plugin.

* sfidl-cxx.cc: fixed option description.

* bse-plugin-generator.cc: adapt to --plugin option.

* sfidl-module.cc: cleaned up some cruft.

* sficomport.[hc]: support sending value lists, added ability to
receive lists of values to reduze context switches.

* sficxx.h: reimplement specialized versions of boxed_copy and
boxed_free, value_get_boxed and value_set_boxed functions for
record handles and sequences which special case SfiRec and
SfiSeq vs. boxed record and sequence types.

* sfidl-module.cc: provide NAMESPACE_IS_OBJECT() macros for generated
object types. implement value conversions between boxed and
Sfi types (sfirec/records, sfiseq/sequences, choice/enum, object/proxy).

* sfigluecodec.c: bulk send events if possible to reduce
context switches.

* sfivalues.[hc]: added sfi_value_get_enum_auto() and
sfi_value_set_enum_auto() to support the idl compiler.
made sfi_enum2choice() return a constant, non-duplicated string.

* sfidl-parser.*: Resort classes in a way that derived classes always
occur after their base classes in the vector returned by getClasses().
This allows bindings to rely on that assumption; in C++ for instance
you need to specify base classes before the derived classes, whereas
the IDL file syntax allows you to invert the order.

* sfidl-generator.*: CodeGenerator: Added setOption and getOptions
methods, to allow code generators to come with their own options.

* sfidl-options.cc sfidl.cc: Parse options provided by code generators
in Options::parse. Get rid of a the Target enum, use factories only to
choose which code generator to use.

* sfidl-cxx.* sfidl-generator.* sfidl-typelist.*: Provide a factory
for --cxx, --qt and --list-types. Changed CodeGenerator::run() to return
boolean, to allow code generators to fail on inconsistent options.

* sfidl-module.cc: Adapted to the new CodeGenerator::run().

* sfidl-factory.cc: Fixed evil bug. Using global constructors ensures
no ordering (depends on the linker, among other things). Thus we need
to use a dynamically allocated list of factories, otherwise factories
might try to add themselves to the factory list before the factory list
exists.

* Makefile.am: Added sfidl-typelist.cc.

* testsfidl.cc: Test option parsing.

* sfidl-module.cc:
(make_PrefixedTypeName): allow string appends.
(find_class): new class to get class structure from type name.
(is_cxx_class): new function, figure whether a class type is implemented
in C++ in Bse. (should make use of an extra commandline option once
possible).
(OBJECT): implemented ordinary object pointers, respecting C/C++
class implementations. this misses out cross-reference support though.
