Adding an is_internal value was a mistake, or rather it was redundant.
We already had a procedure type and all internal procedure are set as
GIMP_PDB_PROC_TYPE_INTERNAL.
I also double-checked that it is not possible for a plug-in to create a
procedure with this type (it is rejected), so it's very fine.
Core procedures are all the procedures created for libgimp basically. In
opposition, procedures created by plug-ins are not core procedures.
GimpProcedure class in libgimp now has a gimp_procedure_is_core() which
will tell you if a procedure is core or not.
Private procedures already existed, except that they were only marked as
"private" in libgimp (e.g. _gimp_font_get_lookup_name()) starting with
an underscore and marked as G_GNUC_INTERNAL. Now we also store this
information in the procedure object itself for reuse.
gimp_procedure_set_static_help().
The indentation was wrong, probably because of changes to function
names. Fix the generation scripts and regenerate the PDB C files.
Fix the dependency by making the stamp an actual (yet empty/no-op)
header file which is included by all generated source file. This way, we
ensure that meson rebuild .o files when the .pdb sources are changed.
This is the second solution proposed by eli-schwartz here:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/10196#issuecomment-1080053413
on behalf of plug-in authors who have no style or can't type.
Instead, simply reject non-canonical procedure names and remove all
code that keeps aroud the original non-canonical shit just to pass it
back to the plug-in.
Add a debug procedure group, living in 'debug.pdb', which would host
useful debug helper functions. Functions in this group are not part
of the stable API, and may be changed at any point.
All procedures added to 'debug.pdb' should have a 'debug_' prefix,
and use the new std_pdb_debug() macro, which adds the proper "here be
dragons" warning to their description.
Add two debug procedures: gimp-debug-timer-start() and
gimp-debug-timer-end(), which measure elapsed time, a la
GIMP_TIMER_{START,END}, and can be used to profile script-fu
commands.
