Hi all,
>From discussions on recent MPs I think we lack a clear consensus on how
our headers relate to different use cases and how they are packaged. I
believe these are what we are wanting to support:
Use case 1: client process, graphics toolkit.
Use case 2: server process, graphics toolkit.
Use case 3: server process, shell (or other use of mir as a library).
And the headers are organised with:
Use case 1: client process, graphics toolkit.
shared/mir_toolkit/ + client/mir_toolkit/ => <target>/mir_toolkit/
Use case 2: server process, graphics toolkit.
shared/mir_toolkit/ + server/mir_toolkit/ => <target>/mir/
Use case 3: server process, use of mir as a library (shell).
shared/mir/ + server/mir/ => <target>/mir/
(and shared/mir_toolkit/common.h => <target>/mir_toolkit/ - which,
admittedly, is a bit odd)
We have some "internal" use cases:
Use case 4: examples - some are use case 1, some use case 3
Use case 5: tests - these have access to some internal headers too
(under src).
To support these, we have also accessory/mir
First question: have I missed an important use case?
Second question: any suggestions for better header layouts to support
these use cases?
Third question: does anyone else have anything further to add?
Thanks for reading,
Alan
