Making a map a constexpr\n would have required sub-classing it, and exposing only constexpr methods,\n which I considered not worth it. So I used an array of std::pair.\n Constructing pairs has its own peculiarities, and I managed to get it work\n with clang on my laptop, but failed to have it compile on cros (which uses\n clang, but an older version). I assumed this was an indication I was looking\n for troubles, as supporting all compilers in the build compilers matrix would\n have been complex, so I fell back to plain C-style array, which are easier but\n indeed less C++-ish than using an STL container. Also, we lose a bit of\n efficiency in lookups, but I don't expect this to happen in critical paths, and\n I don't expect to have thousands of sensors to support.\n\nSeries based on the two series I have in review (CFA and exposure times\ncalculations).\n\nThanks\n j\n\nJacopo Mondi (4):\n libcamera: Introduce camera sensor database\n libcamera: camera_sensor: Register static properties\n android: camera_device: Report sensor physical size\n android: camera_device: Align style of active area size\n\n include/libcamera/internal/camera_sensor.h | 1 +\n include/libcamera/internal/meson.build | 1 +\n include/libcamera/internal/sensor_database.h | 28 +++++\n src/android/camera_device.cpp | 49 +++++----\n src/libcamera/camera_sensor.cpp | 21 +++-\n src/libcamera/meson.build | 1 +\n src/libcamera/sensor_database.cpp | 102 +++++++++++++++++++\n 7 files changed, 180 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-)\n create mode 100644 include/libcamera/internal/sensor_database.h\n create mode 100644 src/libcamera/sensor_database.cpp\n\n--\n2.29.2" }
