There is no need to expose the two step connection setup of the
underlying socket interface in the public api. Doing so may complicate
the implementation on platforms where the native api is not based on the
socket interface (e.g. Mac OS X).
Note that the function to connect based on the IrDA service name is
removed. It's not used anywhere in libdivecomputer and since IrDA is an
outdated technology nowadays, it's unlikely we'll need it in the future.
Replacing the callback based interface with an iterator based interface,
results in a more extensible abstraction with a common interface for
each of the built-in I/O implementations (serial, usbhid, irda and
bluetooth).
The low level serial and IrDA functions are modified to:
- Use the libdivecomputer namespace prefix.
- Return a more detailed status code instead of the zero on success and
negative on error return value. This will allow to return more
fine-grained error codes.
- The read and write functions have an additional output parameter to
return the actual number of bytes transferred. Since these functions
are not atomic, some data might still be transferred successfully if
an error occurs.
The dive computer backends are updated to use the new api.
The Windows WSAStartup() and WSACleanup() functions are now called
automatically when opening and closing IrDA sockets. This causes no
problems because these functions are reference counted and can be called
multiple times.
In practice nothing changes because the Uwatec Smart backend already
called these functions for every connection.
