parameter-framework: Drop of github upstream version v3.2.4

2016-03-05T01:42:09+00:00

Main features are:
-Networking code may now be opted-out
     (for android build: no socket opened for user build)
-Get rid of python prebuild for XML generation

Remove using std::XXX from headers

2014-09-11T12:25:02+00:00

This is a bad practice to have using in headers because it pollutes the
namespace of any user of that header.

Change the license to 3-clause BSD

2014-02-13T15:10:37+00:00

Add license header in all source files and Makefiles,
Add a "COPYING" file containing the license text.

PFW: Remove names from PFW license header

2014-02-12T16:03:11+00:00

BZ: 47701

As parameter framework code is proprietary, it should not be signed (patrick Benavoli name inside the header).

PFW: Type safe dynamic parameter access

2014-02-10T16:15:00+00:00

BZ: 15065

Replaced high level string based parameter access interface with typed ones.
Now hosting platforms that want to control parameters must instantiate a
CParameterHandle object out of the desired parameter path.
CParameterHandle object may be used to access any kind of parameters, whatever
its internal type, whether it's an array or not.
Note that non rogue parameters offer a read access only. Any attempt to write
them will fail.
CParameterHandle objects offer the following kind of parameter accessing
interfaces:
- Boolean
- Integer (signed or unsigned)
- Double
- String
Note that those interfaces are available for scalar as well as for array
parameters.
Not all parameter types support all access kinds. Naturally, array parameters
are only accessed via array interfaces while scalar parameters are managed
through scalar interfaces.
Here's a list of parameter types that may be controlled through each kind of
access interface:
- Boolean access: boolean, bit (bit size must be one);
- Integer access: integer (sign must match), boolean (unsigned access only,
value <= 1), enumerations;
- Double access: for now only fixed points (soon integers will support them
also through platform adaptation objects)
- String access: all parameter types

In addition, cleaned up parameter access related code so as to make it more
generic and reusable.

Changed version to 2.0.0

PFW: Virtual subsystems

2014-02-10T16:15:00+00:00

BZ: 14587

- Added the possibility to declare parameters which have no real hardware
implementation. They are only intended to configure the hosting platform.
- A new subsystem type "Virtual" has been introduced to support those
hardwareless parameters.
- Virtual subsystems need no Mapping declaration in the structure

parameter-framework: Added string parameters

2014-02-10T16:14:56+00:00

BZ: 12819

String parameters are specified in the XML structure with a MaxLength attribute.
MaxLength corresponds to the maximum amount of characters the string parameter
can handle.
String parameters are expressend in the form of tokens, that is they don't
contain any sort of space characters.
For now, string parameter arrays are not supported.
