Fixes: https://github.com/dankamongmen/notcurses/issues/1009
Whenever a widget is created with its `*_create` function it currently
claims full ownership of the passed panel, including its destruction.
However, the C++ wrapper around the panel is not aware of this and will
attempt to destroy the native panel in the destructor, leading to
segfaults.
Fix this by introduction of a `Widget` class which contains the logic to
properly modify the `Panel` instance to not double-destroy the native
panel. The solution is a bit fragile since the `Panel` instance is left
intact (we can't free it for the user) in a state that's safe for the
C++ wrapper, but calling any C function via the wrapper **will** pass a
`NULL` pointer in the panel argument - therefore the C functions MUST be
proofed against this. The proofing belongs in the C backend code since
this protects also C and other language binding users from such abuse.
The Widget class will first verify that the passed `Plane` instance
hasn't already been "disowned" and will throw an exception to the effect
if it was. Next, it will proceed to take over ownership of the native
panel instance and mark the passed `Panel` as "invalid" (i.e. not owning
any native panel instance anymore)
The above changes require modification of `Panel` instances and so all
the widget constructors taking `const*` or `const&` have been removed
from widget classes.
notcurses_enable_cursor() now accepts placement arguments.
both it and notcurses_disable_cursor() now return int rather
than void. add notcurses_cursor_move_yx().
Get notcurses-tetris working again, since its collision
detection relied on simple vs non-simple EGCs, which are
no longer an operative concept. Closes#899.
not caring about endianness is the opiate of the masses.
happy, happy masses. remove endianness.h and all its baleful
influence by explicitly breaking up the cell structure. #892
Tons of work on ncreel (#627, #749, #694)
Improve reel demo: get input wired up once more, avoid the FPS demo at bottom, print pointer and line count in each tablet, use new ncreel API. Improve notcurses-ncreel explorer: kill memory leaks (#694), draw tablets better, use new ncreel API. Fix bug in ncreel core where cruft could be left on the screen, via a very gross brute force algorithm. I'll likely come back and make this a bit less ghastly in the future #749. Remove weird one-off input system from ncreel, residue from outcurses. Make some of the normalizing changes speced out in #627
* ncreel: give each tablet an index, and print it #749
* reel: eliminate FIXME + param to insert_tabler() #749

CELL_ALPHA_OPAQUE et al were defined as 0..3, meaning
CELL_ALPHA_SHIFT had to be used to compare them to their
channel representations. Instead, define them in said
representation outright, eliminating the need to shift while
retaining arithmetic properties, and zero initialization for
CELL_ALPHA_OPAQUE. Eliminate CELL_ALPHA_SHIFT #738.
Add convenience function ncplane_home(). Add an ncblitter_e param
to ncplane_qrcode(), and split int maxversion into value-result
int* ymax and int* xmax. Write the actual sizes of the resulting
visual into these parameters. Update the qrcode demo. Add the
qrcode PoC. Update demos to ncplane_home(), where possible.
ncplane_qrcode() now takes an ncblitter_e and two value-result int*s
in the place of a single value int. The final size of the displayed qrcode
is written to *ymax and *xmax. If the code can't fit within the specified
dimensions, an error is returned. Standard rules for pluggable blitters
apply regarding fallback etc. #699

* ffmpeg ncvisual: fix rotation #662
This represents an essentially complete rewrite of ncvisual and associated code. It had two major goals:
Improve the ncvisual API based off lessons learned, pursuant to the upcoming API freeze. In particular, I wanted to:
decouple ncvisuals from ncplanes. It should be possible to render a ncvisual to multiple planes, with different scaling each time. It should be possible to create an ncvisual without a plane, etc.
normalize the various ways of constructing an ncvisual -- file, memory, plane, etc.
Support multiple blitters, from 7-bit ASCII to Sixel. This required writing the blitters in several cases, and they're not yet in their final implementations (but the API is fine)
I have not yet unified Plots and Visuals, and might not, given that the Plot code works fine. We could at this point implement Plots in terms of Visuals, though -- the blitter backend range has been unified. Sixel is not yet implemented, though it is listed.
There is a new POC tool, blitter. It renders its arguments using all possible blitter+scaling combinations. Another new POC, resize, displays its argument, then resizes it to the screen size and displays that, explicitly making use of ncvisual_resize() rather than a scaling parameter to ncvisual_render().
This also eliminates some memory leaks and bugs we were seeing in trunk, and brings in Sixel scaffolding.
The C++ wrapper will also need patching back up; I cut most of it down while wrestling with this crap, urk.
Closes#638, #562, and #622.
This is to make it possible, in the future, to create multiple instances
of `NotCurses` for multiple terminals. The first instance of
`NotCurses` becomes the default one, so that any instances of other
classes that aren't explicitly created with a pointer to another
`NotCurses` instance still work as expected.
Note that currently trying to call `notcurses_init` twice results in the
following error for me:
0x55555559bfc0 is already registered for signals
Couldn't drop signals: 0x55555559bfc0 != 0x5555555b6720
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'ncpp::init_error*'
Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
The error is signalled by `setup_signals` and the pointer shown in the
message points to the first `struct notcurses` instance created.
