The GtkTextHistory helper provides the fundamental undo/redo stack that
can be integrated with other text widgets. It allows coalescing related
actions to reduce both the number of undo actions to the user as well as
the memory overhead.
A new istring helper is used by GtkTextHistory to allow for "inline
strings" that gracefully grow to using allocations with g_realloc(). This
ensure that most undo operations require no additional allocations other
than the struct for the action itself.
A queue of undoable and redoable actions are maintained and the link for
the queue is embedded in the undo action union. This allows again, for
reducing the number of allocations involved for undo operations.
That test was cool in 2011, but hasn't been updated or used since then
because its features are now part of widget-factory and the inspector.
So let's remove it.
All of the four platform-dependent backends are enabled by default. It
is usually a good default because it requires users to explicitly choose
backends they want to use. Rules in meson.build also automatically
disable unavailable backends for macOS, Windows, Linux, so users on
these 3 major platforms don't have to manually disable things when
running meson commands.
However, meson.build doesn't do the same thing for other Unix-like
systems, which is acceptable but not ideal. To make it easier to build
GTK+ on these systems, the Linux case, which enables X11 and Wayland and
disables Win32 and Quartz, is made the default for all operating systems
that are not Windows or macOS.
This commit also changes most 'host_machine.system()' calls to os_*
variables, which are easier to read and less likely to be used wrongly.
It's unused. Plain text is not using that framework, neither is
in-process same-display transmission.
So it was only useful for sharing text with custom tags across
applications, and nobody is doing that.
We're mixing a lot of styles in the Meson build files. This is an
attempt at making everything slightly more consistent in terms of
whitespace and indentation.
gdk and gsk are no longer separate libs but part of gtk now, so any
Gtk+ user should just link to gtk, there's no need to additionally
link against all those static helper libs that go into the gtk lib.
This means we need to specifically add confinc to include_directories
in more places to make sure the right config.h (i.e. ours) gets
included and not a subproject's like graphene's config.h.
Not dragging in static libs also fixes the issue of all executables
having to be relinked for any and all changes. With this change
it's super-fast now and can be skipped for most changes that don't
touch the external ABI.
