The dc_parser_set_data() function allows to re-use a parser object for
multiple dives. The advantages of this feature are actually very limited
in practice. The reduction in memory consumption is almost negligible,
because the amount of internal state in the parser is typically very
small. But the implementation requires some additional complexity
because each backend needs code to reset its internal state. Therefore,
the function is removed and the data and size needs to be passed
directly to the dc_parser_new() and dc_parser_new2() functions instead.
Because keeping a reference to the data has also caused issues in the
past, especially for applications implemented in a garbage collected
language, the data will now also get copied internally.
Currently the dive computer backends are responsible for opening (and
closing) the underlying I/O stream internally. The consequence is that
each backend is hardwired to a specific transport type (e.g. serial,
irda or usbhid). In order to remove this dependency and support more
than one transport type in the same backend, the opening (and closing)
of the I/O stream is moved to the application.
The dc_device_open() function is modified to accept a pointer to the I/O
stream, instead of a string with the device node (which only makes sense
for serial communication). The dive computer backends only depend on the
common I/O interface.
The vendor_product_parser_create() and vendor_product_device_open()
functions should be called indirectly, through the generic
dc_device_open() and dc_parser_new() functions. And the
vendor_product_extract_dives() functions are internal functions that
should never have been part of the public api in the first place.
The public header files are moved to a new subdirectory, to separate
the definition of the public interface from the actual implementation.
Using an identical directory layout as the final installation has the
advantage that the example code can be build outside the project tree
without any modifications to the #include statements.
Note that this implementation will fail if the ringbuffer doesn't start
at the fixed address 0xA000. This is very likely to occur once the
ringbuffer is filled completely and the device starts to overwrite old
data.
