Also
- simplify and add tests
- remove large memory leak (persistant store of all non-project layers)
- remove broken support for direct loading postgres/virtual layers
by string (Python version was very broken and would never match
a postgres/virtual layer)
Intended as a registry for the various processing components,
including providers, algorithms and various parameters and outputs.
Currently handles only registration of providers, as a step toward
removing processing's algList (this requires first porting
the algorithm class to c++)
A QgsProcessingRegistry instance is attached to QgsApplication,
and is retrieved by QgsApplication::processingRegistry()
Nothing particularly exciting here yet, but this commit
moves the definition of the provider base class to a c++
QgsProcessingProvider abstract base class.
As part of this some existing python methods were renamed
to make their use clearer and to fit with the QGIS c++
api conventions:
- getName was renamed to id
- getDescription was renamed to name
- getIcon was renamed to icon
These API breaks are documented
