Summary by CodeRabbit

• API Changes

  • BLE callback registration now accepts callback objects by reference across clients, servers, scanning, advertising, devices, characteristics, and descriptors.
  • Added methods to restore default callbacks.
  • Pointer-based callback registration and callback ownership options are no longer available. Registered callback objects must remain valid while in use.
  • Stream callback registration now also accepts a callback reference.

• Examples

  • Updated BLE examples to use the current callback registration interface.

Walkthrough

Arr, callback registration now uses references across the NimBLE library and examples. The library adds reset methods, removes callback ownership options, and updates callback dispatch and stream callback restoration.

Changes: Callback Registration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Reference-based registration and reset APIs src/NimBLECharacteristic.*, src/NimBLEClient.*, src/NimBLEDescriptor.*, src/NimBLEDevice.*, src/NimBLEExtAdvertising.*, src/NimBLEScan.*, src/NimBLEServer.*, src/NimBLEAdvertising.h	Arr, callback setters now accept references and reject rvalue arguments. Reset methods restore default callbacks where provided. Callback ownership options are removed where applicable.
Callback dispatch and state updates src/NimBLEClient.*, src/NimBLEDevice.*, src/NimBLEScan.*, src/NimBLEServer.*	Arr, event dispatch uses the updated callback pointers. Device deinitialization resets callbacks. Scan registration and reset continue to set duplicate filtering from the duplicate preference.
Stream callback preservation src/NimBLEStream.*	Arr, the stream server installs its callback wrapper by reference and restores saved characteristic callbacks by reference.
Example callback registrations examples/Bluetooth_5/*/main/main.cpp, examples/Continuous_scan/main/main.cpp, examples/L2CAP/L2CAP_Client/main/main.cpp, examples/NimBLE_Async_Client/main/main.cpp, examples/NimBLE_Client/main/main.cpp, examples/NimBLE_Server/main/main.cpp, examples/NimBLE_Stream_Client/main/main.cpp	Arr, examples pass callback objects to the updated registration APIs. The L2CAP client uses persistent callback objects.

Priority: Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested reviewers: mickeyl

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 0b624

The callback API migration leaves the stream server, ANCS and L2CAP server examples calling the removed pointer-based registration, so those examples fail to build. Update them to pass callback objects by reference, with persistent storage, before merging.

Pre-merge checks: 5

Check name	Status	Explanation
Description Check		Check skipped - CodeRabbit’s high-level summary is enabled.
Title check		The title accurately summarizes the main breaking change: callback setters are renamed to setCallbacks and now accept references. It contains a minor typo in “referene,” but the meaning remains clear.
Docstring Coverage		Docstring coverage is inconclusive: files from earlier reviews still need to be rechecked within the check's analysis limits. Not blocking.
Linked Issues check		Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Out of Scope Changes check		Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.

- Line 195: Update the callback member initializer in `NimBLEScan::NimBLEScan()`
to initialize the declared `m_pCallbacks` member with the default scan
callbacks, replacing the stale `m_pScanCallbacks` name.
- Line 73: Update the remaining example callback registrations to use
setCallbacks instead of the removed setScanCallbacks and setClientCallbacks
methods. Pass each callback object and preserve the duplicate-filter argument
where applicable.

l2capChannelCallbacks object, matching the channel’s ownership and destructor
behavior.

remove the obsolete second argument and pass only clientCallbacks.
