             Bug #: 47945
           Summary: Generate separate header files per D-Bus interface
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: git master
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: tp-qt
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: mikhail.zabaluev at nokia.com

In our project we have created test stubs for a small subset of TelepathyQt API
that we use. We can do this by using the header files from TelepathyQt and
providing mock implementations. There is a problem, though: we cannot use moc
output for the headers as is, because generated D-Bus interface classes are
bundled into few big header files such as cli-channel.h, and the moc output for
those needs to link the implementation for all QObject classes defined in the
header. So we have to supply a hand-crafted moc-compatible source cut down to
the classes we really use, which makes our test code more work-intensive and
fragile than it needs to be. If there were a separate header for each D-Bus
interface, we could cherry-pick them for moc.
