It depends what you mean by "everything". Most of the stuff in a
plugin.ini file is consumed by config/pandora-plugin for its own
purposes (it creates autoconf input files for us). The author and
module name fields go into drizzled/plugin.h, where you'll see two
familiar macros:
#define DRIZZLE_PLUGIN(init,system,options) \
DRIZZLE_DECLARE_PLUGIN \
{ \
DRIZZLE_VERSION_ID, \
STRINGIFY_ARG(PANDORA_MODULE_NAME), \
STRINGIFY_ARG(PANDORA_MODULE_VERSION), \
STRINGIFY_ARG(PANDORA_MODULE_AUTHOR), \
STRINGIFY_ARG(PANDORA_MODULE_TITLE), \
PANDORA_MODULE_LICENSE, \
init, \
STRINGIFY_ARG(PANDORA_MODULE_DEPENDENCIES), \
options \
}
According to grep this is the only place where PANDORA_MODULE_AUTHOR
appears, didn't check the others.
So it seems Drizzle supports both of, and code comments do not decree
or deprecate either one of, the following:
- Module meta data (author, name, title, version, license) is
specified in plugin.ini. In the c++ source you can omit them by using
the shorter DRIZZLE_PLUGIN macro.
- Module meta data is specified in DRIZZLE_DECLARE_PLUGIN macro, and
you can omit it from plugin.ini.
