It's using a compat version on Windows/Android/OS2 which is not available
to external modules.
This new header can't be used directly from external modules on Windows.
This makes vlc_threads.h usable from external modules on Windows.
It is not used in POSIX systems. On other system it probably don't make a
difference anymore, only Windows has actual useful values for
VLC_THREAD_PRIORITY_XXX. The synchronization is more important than having some
threads called more often than others.
see e967f81f6a.
note, this does **not** affect cat-based module selection items
(of which there are just three in use by the core), since that
mechanism uses subcats not cats.
The config "advanced" flag was unused and has been removed by
6a7a137f7b.
It has been removed from many add_*() macros, but not all. Remove it
from the remaining macros.
Missing some cases that I could not test.
Also ffmpeg/chroma.c is locked, so I can but leave it broken.
Fix is for the remaining modules is obvious and the issue is easy to detect.
* Headers in include must contain the structures and prototypes needed
by the plugins and should be named vlc_*.
* Headers in include/vlc must contain the structures and prototypes
needed by external libvlc clients
* Moved and renamed some things in headers.
- Removed vlc_cpu.h, vlc_error.h (merged in vlc_common)
- Removed snapshot.h (merged in vlc_vout.h)
- Removed vlc_spu.h (merged in vlc_osd.h)
- Removed intf_eject.h and vlc_interaction.h (merged in vlc_interface)
- Moved all internal headers to src
- Merged vlc_video.h and video_output.h and move private things to src
- Removed vlc/intf.h, vlc/aout.h, vlc/vout.h, vlc/decoder.h and vlc/input.h
(meta headers for use in modules, and often implying too large
dependencies)
* Removed some useless dependencies
* Unexported a bunch of functions and structures used only in src/
(--> Still some work here)
* Finally made input_thread_t and input_source_t (mostly) private.
Added input_GetItem to fetch the input_item of an input_thread
* Cleaned up deprecated entries in vlc_symbols.h and bumped up symbol
prefix
This commit has a 99% probability of breaking the build, 0.1% of killing
your cat and 0% of getting you hot chicks.
Also, make it clearer what is shared and instance-specific
So,
libvlc_t ==> libvlc_global_t
vlc_t ==> libvlc_int_t (internal instance)
p_object->p_libvlc ==> p_object->p_libvlc_globale
p_object->p_vlc ==> p_object->p_libvlc
VLC_OBJECT_VLC ==> VLC_OBJECT_LIBVLC
And by the way, there is some cleanup required :) (ie, some things are created in the global object instead of the instance-specific one)
