These methods were removed by mistake in commit 0dbb0dff9, which broke
code that relies on them (e.g., FMSDelegate.currentWaypointChanged() in
$FG_ROOT/Nasal/route_manager.nas).
Also remove 'waypointPrototype' from NasalPositioned.cxx, since it is
not used anymore.
Note: the methods can't be easily re-enabled by means of
'waypointPrototype', because for FPLeg ghosts, 'waypointPrototype'
was emulated as a parent class before this commit, and thus when
querying an FPLeg ghost for its 'airport', 'runway' or 'navaid'
member, the corresponding data member returned by
waypointCommonGetMember() would be found by legGhostGetMember()
*before* parent classes are searched. This commit prevents this
from happening by returning 'airport', 'runway' and 'navaid' as
member functions *directly* in legGhostGetMember(), before
waypointCommonGetMember() is queried as a fallback.
Thanks to Eric van den Berg for the bug report.
Move the format-version node inside /meta. It's not compatible of
course, but since the stuff this is breaking is only 2 or 3 days old,
let's go for it for nicer code and file format.
Sorry if you had already written an addon-metadata.xml file of your
own. In this case, just replace:
<format-version type="int">1</format-version>
with:
<meta>
<file-type type="string">FlightGear add-on metadata</file-type>
<format-version type="int">1</format-version>
</meta>
This should fix the following compilation error and other similar ones:
converting to ‘std::tuple<flightgear::AddonVersionSuffixPrereleaseType,
int, bool, int>’ from initializer list would use explicit constructor
‘constexpr std::tuple< <template-parameter-1-1> >::tuple(_UElements&&
...)
According to <https://stackoverflow.com/a/32084829/4756009>, the change
wouldn't be needed in C++14 (and it built fine with my g++) but we use
C++11.
This commit adds C++ classes for add-on management, most notably
AddonManager, Addon and AddonVersion. The AddonManager is used to
register add-ons. It relies on an std::map<std::string, AddonRef> to
hold the metadata of each registered add-on (keys of the std::map are
add-on identifiers, and AddonRef is currently SGSharedPtr<Addon>).
Accessor methods are available for:
- retrieving the list of registered or loaded add-ons (terminology
explained in $FG_ROOT/Docs/README.add-ons);
- checking if a particular add-on has already been registered or
loaded;
- for each add-on, obtaining an Addon instance which can be queried
for its name, id, version, base path, the minimum and maximum
FlightGear versions it requires, its base node in the Property Tree,
its order in the load sequence, short and long description strings,
home page, etc.
The most important metadata is made accessible in the Property Tree
under /addons/by-id/<addon-id> and the property
/addons/by-id/<addon-id>/loaded can be checked or listened to, in
order to determine when a particular add-on is loaded. There is also a
Nasal interface to access add-on metadata in a convenient way.
In order to provide this metadata, each add-on must from now on have in
its base directory a file called 'addon-metadata.xml'.
All this is documented in much more detail in
$FG_ROOT/Docs/README.add-ons.
