These are implementation details only, and should not be
part of the stable API.
We need the flexibility to change these at any stage without
being bound by any API contract.
All signals are now in the base class, even if only
a subset of available providers actually emits them.
This way we can handle all source select dialogs
the same way, regardless if they are vector, DB
or raster (or others).
- rename methods with XML to Xml, CRS to Crs, WMS to Wms, ID to Id
- rename methods with SRS to Crs
- rename methods with abbreviations like "dest" to "destination"
- rename methods with abbreviations like "src" to "source"
Rationale:
- there was a lot of large objects passed by value, so potentially
there's a speed bump from this
- even for implicitly shared classes like QString/QList there's still
a (small) cost for copying the objects when there's no reason to
- it's the right thing to do!
- update methods of existing classes
- add comment to methods missing in the sip bindings
- split up collective sip files into single files and use
same directory structure in python/ as in src/
- add a lot of missing classes (some might not make sense because of
missing python methods in those classes)
- remove some non-existing methods from the header files
- add scripts/sipdiff
- replace some usages of std::vector and std::set with QVector/QSet
