I think this is nicer in general, and here in particular we have a lot
of code like:
static inline IteratedCache* hashmap_iterated_cache_new(Hashmap *h) {
return (IteratedCache*) _hashmap_iterated_cache_new(HASHMAP_BASE(h));
}
and it's visually appealing to use the same whitespace in the function
signature and the cast in the body of the function.
"internal" is a lot of characters. Let's take a leaf out of the Python's book
and simply use _ to mean private. Much less verbose, but the meaning is just as
clear, or even more.
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
For the search domain logic the order is highly relevant, hence make sure when collecting the various search domains to
add them to an ordered set, so that the order between search domains of a specific link is retained.
Currently, the HASHMAP iterators stop at the first NULL entry in a
hashmap. This is non-obvious and breaks users like sd-device, which
legitimately store NULL values in a hashmap.
Fix all the iterators by taking a pointer to the value storage, instead of
returning it. The iterators now return a boolean that tells whether the
end of the list was reached.
Current users of HASHMAP_FOREACH() are *NOT* changed to explicitly check
for NULL. If it turns out, there were users that inserted NULL into
hashmaps, but didn't properly check for it during iteration, then we
really want to find those and fix them.
