Rather than defaulting .list_exports to blindly returning
"", it is
nicer to have it reflect the result of .default_export. Meanwhile,
language bindings will have a C callback for both .list_exports and
.default_export, even if the underlying script does not, which means
any logic in plugins.c for calling .default_export when .list_export
is missing would have to be duplicated in each language binding.
Better is to make it easy for languages, by wrapping things in a new
helper function; this also lets us take maximum advantage of caching
done in backend.c (since language bindings can't access our internals,
they would have to duplicate caching if we did not add this helper
function).
I'm a bit confused by how nbdkit_add_default_export() should be used
and the documentation additions in this patch definitely need some
work, but I'm going to assume it's used like this:
my_list_exports (exports)
{
nbdkit_add_export (exports, "", some_description);
/* Mark the most recently added export as the default: */
nbdkit_add_default_export (exports);
/* Some other exports: */
nbdkit_add_export (exports, "foo", NULL);
nbdkit_add_export (exports, "bar", NULL);
}
You could then argue that .default_export should call
nbdkit_add_export + nbdkit_add_default_export instead of having to
deal with all the interning stuff ... What do you think about that
change?
my_default_export (exports)
{
/* nbdkit_add_export should only be called once. */
nbdkit_add_export (exports, "", some_description);
nbdkit_add_default_export (exports);
}
But then again this is differently awkward to consume from the server
side.
And if we did this I can't really see why we need the .default_export
callback at all. The server could just call .list_exports early on
and keep track internally of the exports and default export name that
the plugin advertises.
