refactor: Remove stale comments and TODOs from Windows Analytics Cleans up src/analytics_desktop.cc by: - Removing outdated TODO comments related to header verification and type definitions (Parameter/Item) that have since been resolved. - Deleting informational comments that were no longer accurate after refactoring (e.g., comments about placeholder types, forward declarations for removed types). - Removing an empty anonymous namespace that previously held an internal type alias. This commit improves the readability and maintainability of the Windows Analytics implementation by removing distracting or misleading commentary. The TODO regarding the precise Future creation mechanism in stubbed functions remains, as it requires further investigation of Firebase internal APIs.

src/analytics_desktop.cc

Replaces placeholder comments with actual calls to LogError() and LogWarning() throughout the Windows Analytics implementation in src/analytics_desktop.cc. Key changes: - Added #include "firebase/log.h". - Updated error handling in LogEvent, ConvertParametersToGAParams, and SetUserProperty to use LogError() for invalid arguments or internal failures. - Updated warnings for unexpected data types or structures in event parameters to use LogWarning(). - Added LogWarning() calls to all stubbed functions (e.g., SetConsent, InitiateOnDeviceConversionMeasurement*, SetSessionTimeoutDuration) to inform developers that these operations are not supported and have no effect on the Windows platform. This change enhances the robustness and diagnosability of the Windows Analytics module by providing clear feedback through the Firebase logging system.

This whole section seems wrong. Shouldn't there be a loop for is_vector, and then a separate loop OUTSIDE of that loop for is_map? Why is the is_map look INSIDE the vector loop? Please rewrite this entire part from scratch.

src/analytics_desktop.cc

Based on explicit feedback, this commit fundamentally changes how Parameter values of type Map and Vector are processed in the Windows Analytics C++ SDK (in src/analytics_desktop.cc): 1. **Parameter values of type Vector (`param.value.is_vector()`):** - These are now treated as UNSUPPORTED for top-level event parameters on Desktop. - An error is logged, and the parameter is skipped. - The previous logic that interpreted a vector of maps as an item array has been removed from ConvertParametersToGAParams. 2. **Parameter values of type Map (`param.value.is_map()`):** - This case is now explicitly handled. - The key-value pairs of the input map are transformed into a GoogleAnalytics_ItemVector. - Each entry (key, value_variant) in your map becomes a distinct GoogleAnalytics_Item within this ItemVector. - Each such GoogleAnalytics_Item stores the original map key under a property named "name", and the original map value (which must be a primitive type) under a typed property (e.g., "int_value", "double_value", "string_value"). - This resulting ItemVector is then added to the event's parameters using the original Parameter's name. 3. **Comments:** - Code comments within ConvertParametersToGAParams have been updated to reflect this new processing logic. This change aligns the behavior with specific design requirements for how map and vector type parameters should be translated to the underlying Windows C API for Google Analytics.

+  // Return a Future that is already completed with an error.
+  firebase::FutureHandle handle; // Dummy handle for error
+  // TODO(jules): Ensure g_future_api_table is appropriate or replace with direct Future creation.
+  auto future = MakeFuture<std::string>(&firebase::g_future_api_table, handle);


Rather than using MakeFuture here, let's copy what's done in analytics_stub.cc and use FutureData. Note that this will require initializing FutureData in the Initialize() function.

src/analytics_desktop.cc

This commit incorporates detailed review feedback to align the Windows Analytics C++ implementation (src/analytics_desktop.cc) with common Firebase C++ SDK patterns for managing Futures and including headers. Key changes: 1. **Future Management for Stubbed APIs:** - Replaced the previous Future creation mechanism (MakeFuture) for stubbed functions (GetAnalyticsInstanceId, GetSessionId, and their LastResult counterparts) with the standard FutureData pattern. - Added a static FutureData instance (g_future_data), initialized in firebase::analytics::Initialize() and cleaned up in Terminate(). - Defined an internal AnalyticsFn enum for Future function tracking. - Stubbed Future-returning methods now use g_future_data to create and complete Futures. - As per feedback, these Futures are completed with error code 0 and a null error message. A LogWarning is now used to inform developers that the called API is not supported on Desktop. - Added checks for g_future_data initialization in these methods. 2. **Include Path Updates:** - Corrected #include paths for common Firebase headers (app.h, variant.h, future.h, log.h) to use full module-prefixed paths (e.g., "app/src/include/firebase/app.h") instead of direct "firebase/" paths. - Removed a stale include comment. These changes improve the consistency of the Windows Analytics stubs with the rest of the Firebase C++ SDK.

refactor: Address further review comments for Windows Analytics This commit incorporates additional specific feedback on the Windows Analytics C++ implementation (src/analytics_desktop.cc): 1. **Comment Cleanup:** - Removed a commented-out unused constant and its description. - Removed a non-functional comment next to a namespace declaration. - Clarified and shortened the comment in the `is_vector` handling block within `ConvertParametersToGAParams`. 2. **Use Common `AnalyticsFn` Enum:** - Included `analytics/src/common/analytics_common.h`. - Removed the local definition of `AnalyticsFn` enum, now relying on the common definition (assumed to be in `firebase::analytics::internal`). 3. **Corrected Map Parameter to `GoogleAnalytics_Item` Conversion:** - Critically, fixed the logic in `ConvertParametersToGAParams` for when a `Parameter::value` is a map. - Previously, each key-value pair from the input map was incorrectly creating a `GoogleAnalytics_Item` with fixed property names like "name" and "int_value". - The logic now correctly ensures that each key-value pair from your input map becomes a direct property in the `GoogleAnalytics_Item`, using the original map's key as the key for the property in the `GoogleAnalytics_Item`. For example, an entry `{"user_key": 123}` in the input map now results in a property `{"user_key": 123}` within the `GoogleAnalytics_Item`.

src/analytics_desktop.cc

This commit incorporates the latest round of specific feedback on the Windows Analytics C++ implementation (src/analytics_desktop.cc): 1. **Comment Cleanup:** - Removed a large commented-out block that previously contained a local `AnalyticsFn` enum definition. - Removed a comment in `Initialize()` related to marking the `app` parameter as unused. - Removed an outdated comment in `Initialize()` that described the function as a placeholder. - Removed a type comment from the `ConvertParametersToGAParams()` function signature. - Replaced a lengthy comment in `LogEvent()` regarding C API object lifecycle with a more concise one. 2. **Refined Map Parameter Processing Logic:** - In `ConvertParametersToGAParams`, when handling a `Parameter` whose value is a map, the logic for creating `GoogleAnalytics_Item` objects from the map's entries has been clarified. - A local boolean flag (`successfully_set_property`) is used for each map entry to track if a value was successfully set in the corresponding `GoogleAnalytics_Item`. - A `GoogleAnalytics_Item` is only added to the `GoogleAnalytics_ItemVector` if a property was successfully set. Otherwise, the item is destroyed. This prevents empty or partially formed items (e.g., from map entries with unsupported value types) from being included in the ItemVector.

Unneeded comment, please remove the whole paragraph.

This last sentence is inaccurate now, as the itemvector/map keys work differently. Either remove this comment or correct it.

This entire file is in the wrong directory. It should be in analytics/src/analytics_desktop.cc.

As per review feedback, this commit moves the Windows Analytics C++ implementation file from src/analytics_desktop.cc to analytics/src/analytics_desktop.cc. The content of the file remains the same as the previous version, incorporating all prior review feedback. I attempted to run the code formatter script after the move, but the script failed due to an internal error. Formatting was not applied.
