Since GtkATContexts are now lazily realized, we need to go through the
GtkAccessible's implementation to access the :accessible-role property,
in case there are fallbacks.
Using GList is a bit lame, and makes the API more complicated to use
than necessary in the common case.
The only real use case for a GList is gtk_widget_add_mnemonic_label(),
and for that we can use the GValue-based API instead.
Fixes: #3343
Use a single environment variable for everything:
- select the ATContext implementation
- select the test ATContext
- disable ATContext entirely
We use the same pattern as GSK_RENDERER, GTK_DEBUG, etc.
The documentation needs to be updated to include the environment
variable.
Add an enum for 'platform changes' to the at context
change notification mechanism. This will let us pass
along things that ARIA considers 'platform state' such
as focus or editability. The difference between the
platform state and other ARIA states is that we don't
keep the platform state separately in the at context
- backends are expected to just query the widgets.
This is just about avoiding notify listeners for
change notification.
We're currently overloading NULL to mean both "this value is undefined,
and should be reset to its default" and "the value collection failed".
Let's do error reporting right, by using GError to mean "the collection
failed, for this specific reason"; then, we can use a NULL return value
to signal that the accessible attribute should be reset to its default
value.
This is only relevant for pointer-sized attribute values: strings,
references, and reference lists; numeric, boolean, tristate, and token
values either cannot be undefined, or have a specific "undefined" value.
We don't need as many functions to print out the property, relation, and
state of an accessible. Additionally, we should allow comparing the
accessible attributes with an expected value, and print out the real
accessible value if they do not match.
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.
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.
