remove the compatibility markers for 4.13 abi

2015-08-10T15:27:58Z

We aren't and we will not be really compatible again with the previous stable abi, so lets drop these markers (which never made it into a released version) for good as they have outlived their intend already. Git-Dch: Ignore

add c++11 override marker to overridden methods

2015-08-10T15:27:17Z

C++11 adds the 'override' specifier to mark that a method is overriding a base class method and error out if not. We hide it in the APT_OVERRIDE macro to ensure that we keep compiling in pre-c++11 standards. Reported-By: clang-modernize -add-override -override-macros Git-Dch: Ignore

make all d-pointer * const pointers

2015-08-10T15:25:25Z

Doing this disables the implicit copy assignment operator (among others) which would cause hovac if used on the classes as it would just copy the pointer, not the data the d-pointer points to. For most of the classes we don't need a copy assignment operator anyway and in many classes it was broken before as many contain a pointer of some sort. Only for our Cacheset Container interfaces we define an explicit copy assignment operator which could later be implemented to copy the data from one d-pointer to the other if we need it. Git-Dch: Ignore

apply various style suggestions by cppcheck

2015-08-10T15:24:01Z

Some of them modify the ABI, but given that we prepare a big one already, these few hardly count for much. Git-Dch: Ignore

add d-pointer, virtual destructors and de-inline de/constructors

2015-06-16T14:22:46Z

To have a chance to keep the ABI for a while we need all three to team up. One of them missing and we might loose, so ensuring that they are available is a very tedious but needed task once in a while. Git-Dch: Ignore

explicit overload methods instead of adding parameters

2014-11-08T13:29:25Z

Adding a new parameter (with a default) is an ABI break, but you can overload a method, which is "just" an API break for everyone doing references to this method (aka: nobody). Git-Dch: Ignore

mark private methods as hidden

2014-09-29T22:15:15Z

We are the only possible users of private methods, so we are also the only users who can potentially export them via using them in inline methods. The point is: We don't need these symbols exported if we don't do this, so marking them as hidden removes some methods from the API without breaking anything as nobody could have used them.
