The original idea of LiveWindow telemetry was to automatically make
telemetry data visible to users. This has proved increasingly
problematic in recent years due to the "spooky action at a distance"
of telemetry happening for objects that are only constructed but not
used, and blocking or slow object reads resulting in hard-to-debug
loop overrun conditions.
The non-NT portion has been moved to wpiutil.
The NT portion has been moved to ntcore (as NTSendable).
SendableBuilder similarly split and moved.
SendableRegistry moved to wpiutil.
In C++, SendableHelper also moved to wpiutil.
This enables use of Sendable from wpimath and also enables
moving several classes from wpilib to wpimath.
This reverts commit a79faace1b.
This change will be superseded in a non-breaking way by changing to static functions and deprecating GetInstance() entirely.
Improves consistency across all classes.
Affects Preferences, LiveWindow, and CameraServer.
Old commands Scheduler::GetInstance() was not updated as this is already
deprecated.
This makes code easier to read and more consistent between C++ and Java.
Also update clang-format settings to always add a line break (even if no braces are used).
This removes the name and subsystem from individual objects, and instead
puts this data into a new singleton class, SendableRegistry. Much of
LiveWindow has been refactored into SendableRegistry.
In C++, a new CRTP helper class, SendableHelper, has been added to provide
move and destruction functionality.
Shims for GetName, SetName, GetSubsystem, and SetSubsystem have been added
to Command and Subsystem (both old and new), and also to SendableHelper to
prevent code breakage.
This deprecates SendableBase in preparation for future removal.
std::scoped_lock was introduced in C++17 and is strictly better than
std::lock_guard as it supports locking any number of mutexes safely.
It's also easier to use than std::lock for locking multiple mutexes at
once.
The old headers were moved into folders because doing so avoids polluting
the system include directories.
Folder names were also normalized to lowercase.
