Currently, modifying `controls.py` does not make those build targets dirty
that use a script that includes it (e.g. `gen-controls.py`) because meson
has no knowledge of this dependency. Add `depend_files` to each
`custom_target()` invocation to fix this.
Ideally it would be possible to attach this dependency to `gen_controls`,
`gen_gst_controls`, etc. objects themselves, so that repetition is
avoided, but this does not seem possible at the moment.

The libcamera.h header is a top-level library header that contains every
other libcamera header. It is currently generated by listing the files
in include/libcamera/ and dropping the .in suffix from template files.
This assumes a 1:1 mapping between generated header file names and the
name of their templates.
Drop that assumption and base the libcamera.h generation on the
libcamera public headers listed in meson.build. This makes the
libcamera.h header generation more future-proof.

When generating control headers, the YAML files to be used are
determined dynamically based on the selected pipeline handlers. As part
of this process, the build system populates an array of meson File
objects used as an input for the control headers generation custom
target, as well as an array of file names (as strings). The file names
array is later used to generate the control source files for the
libcamera core, as well as the source code for controls support in the
Python bindings.
Both of the source code generators manually turn the array of file names
into File objects. This duplicates code and reduces readability. A third
similar implementation has also been proposed to generate control
support sources in the GStreamer element, making the issue worse.
To simplify this, store File objects instead of file names in the
controls_files array. As the meson configuration summary doesn't support
File objects, create a separate controls_files_names to store the file
names for that sole purpose.
The exact same process occurs for properties, address them the same way.

Label draft controls and properties through the "draft" vendor tag

vendor tags mechanism to place draft controls in the same
libcamera::controls::draft namespace and provide a defined control id
range for these controls. This requires moving all draft controls from

One breaking change in this commit is that draft control ids also move
to the libcamera::controls::draft namespace from the existing
libcamera::controls namespace. This is desirable to avoid API breakages
when adding new libcamera controls. So, for example, the use of

libcamera uses pixel format FourCC and modifier values from DRM. This
requires inclusion of drm_fourcc.h, creating a dependency on a header
that is packaged differently between distributions, and causing possible
issues with third-party applications.
Define constants for the supported pixel formats in the new formats.h
public API header, in order to remove the dependency on drm_fourcc.h.
The header is generated by a Python script from a list of supported
formats. The numerical values for the FourCC and modifier are extracted
from drm_fourcc.h by the script, ensuring that numerical values are not
inadvertently modified and preserving the direct interoperability.
The pixel formats constants can't be generated solely from drm_fourcc.h,
as that header defines FourCC values and modifier values, but doesn't
list the valid combinations. The supported formats are thus stored in a
YAML file, which contains the FourCC and optional modifier for each
supported format. We may later extend the YAML file to include formats
documentation, and possibly formats metadata to populate the
pixelFormatInfo map (in formats.cpp) automatically.
Now that two formats.h header are present (one in include/libcamera/ and
one in include/libcamera/internal/), we need to explicitly qualify the

The libcamera internal headers are located in src/libcamera/include/.
The directory is added to the compiler headers search path with a meson
include_directories() directive, and internal headers are included with
(e.g. for the internal semaphore.h header)
#include "semaphore.h"
All was well, until libcxx decided to implement the C++20
synchronization library. The __threading_support header gained a
#include <semaphore.h>
to include the pthread's semaphore support. As include_directories()
adds src/libcamera/include/ to the compiler search path with -I, the
internal semaphore.h is included instead of the pthread version.
Needless to say, the compiler isn't happy.
Three options have been considered to fix this issue:
- Use -iquote instead of -I. The -iquote option instructs gcc to only
consider the header search path for headers included with the ""
version. Meson unfortunately doesn't support this option.
- Rename the internal semaphore.h header. This was deemed to be the
beginning of a long whack-a-mole game, where namespace clashes with
system libraries would appear over time (possibly dependent on
particular system configurations) and would need to be constantly
fixed.
- Move the internal headers to another directory to create a unique
namespace through path components. This causes lots of churn in all
the existing source files through the all project.
The first option would be best, but isn't available to us due to missing
support in meson. Even if -iquote support was added, we would need to
fix the problem before a new version of meson containing the required
support would be released.
The third option is thus the only practical solution available. Bite the
bullet, and do it, moving headers to include/libcamera/internal/.

Bring back auto-generation of control ids. In this version, both the
header and the source files are generated from a single YAML file that
stores all control definitions. This allows centralising controls in a
single file, while the previous version required keeping both
declarations (in a header) and documentation (in a the source) in sync
manually.
Using YAML as a format to store control definitions is a trade-off
between ease of use (there are many YAML parsers available) and
simplicity (XML was considered, but would have lead to more complex
processing). A new build time dependency is added on python3-yaml, which
should be available as a package in all distributions and build
environments.
The YAML format is likely to change over time as we improve
documentation of controls, the first version simply copies the
