This change add APIs to convert the string forms of the axis and button
names back to their corresponding enum identifiers. This is effectively
built such that a roundtrip of _to_str and _from_str will return the
same input. The _nocase variants handle case insensitive matching of the
names by folding of the ASCII alphabets A-Z and a-z only, so it doesn't
depend on localization.
When enabling --warnlevel=3 during Meson setup, the build threw up
several warnings, mostly related to either unused parameters, or
sometimes an integer type mismatch. This commit addresses all of those
changes and ensures that the build does not contain any unnecessary
warnings.
Meson is a far more robust build framework, compared to autotools. This
greatly simplifies adding new features, since it's far easier to
maintain a set of meson.build files vs the autotools mishmash.
DEPRECATION NOTICE: Autotools based build is deprecated and will be
removed in the future.
In macos-14, programs that rely on cmocka need to specify CMOCKA_CFLAGS
as part of their CFLAGS. This has not been an issue so far on older
versions of macOS, or on any release of Ubuntu, but it should be done to
ensure that the library headers can be found.
When building the package for PPA, gcc throws errors indicating that
some variables may be used uninitialized. This is not a real problem
that shows up during the CI build, but only when building using
dpkg-buildpackage.
This change adds some dummy initialization so that it avoids triggering
those warnings during debuild/dpkg-buildpackage.
