The thing called backend_client_name defaulted to lowercase PROGRAM_NAME
and could be controlled with:
-c, --name <name> Use a specific backend client name, default is ardour
This value was *only* used for set_backend arg2 which only is used for
jack, where it was called session_uuid and passed to jack_client_open as
"a SessionID Token this allows the sessionmanager to identify the client
again" because JackSessionID.
It is certainly misleading to call it a uuid. It also doesn't seem
helpful to call it "client name" when the documentation calls it
"session id". And mostly: jack_client_open calls its *first* argument
"client_name" and it comes from argv1.
To clear things up, consistently call it something with "session id".
And it is not helpful to use a generic arg2 naming.
the rest from `tools/convert_boost.sh`.
* replace boost::function, boost::bind with std::function and std::bind.
This required some manual fixes, notably std::placeholders,
some static_casts<>, and boost::function::clear -> = {}.
* Allow to exit cleanly (using access-action)
* Terminate when the backend is halted
* Handle various commandline arguments as advertised
- print version
- disable hardware optimization
- set client-name
- prevent port-connections
* Use JACK -- previously hardour only worked if
Ardour was compiled with JACK as *only* backend.
Other backends are listed before JACK, set_default_backend()
never picks JACK unless it's the only one.
Other backends need configuration, or EngineState from config.
This is currently handled in the GUI's engine-dialog..
