We want to test the accessibility API, as well as the implementation
inside each widget. For that, we should expose an API that lets us
verify that a GtkAccessible has a given role, as well as a given
property.
The API follows the pattern of other GTest API:
- a macro to assert that a condition is respected
- a function that prints out the error message in case of failure
While we have split the various attributes for convenience, there's no
reason why we should have specialised data types for the attributes
container object.
Drop roles and properties that were deprecated in WAI-ARIA 1.1, and add
new roles and properties defined in WAI-ARIA 1.2 and later.
We also split the relationship properties into their own enumeration, so
we can keep the GtkAccessibleProperty type more compact.
The ATContext type is meant to be used as the base class for
implementations of the assistive technology API—the actual mechanism
needed to communicate to components like the screen reader, or any other
AT.
Every time the widget state changes, the ATContext is meant to broadcast
the state change; and every time the AT queries the state of a UI
element, the ATContext is meant to provide that information.
We also have a "test" ATContext implementation, which is meant to be
used to write tests to verify that changes are propagated without
requiring a whole desktop session.
