For the moment only edje_player use it. This means that when used with
edje_watch, you don't need any more to type any kind of command line
when you are testing value in your theme. As a side effect, this means
that their is a real use case to make edje_cc faster !

This make it possible to completly disable signal broadcasting as this
new behaviour broke Edje 1.0 file. It's also now possible to use the
same group in different part in the same parent group without any issue.
I am tempted to backport this patch to 1.1 branch as it would make it
play nicely with file coming from Edje 1.0.
Another issue that this patch fix is that I did increment the minor version
as we really have add a lot of addition since Edje 1.1 and Edje file build
with trunk may not play well anymore on Edje 1.1.

NOTE: I am still wondering what is the cost difference between
forcing a request to eet_open and calling stat. If someone has some
time to benchmark, feel free to do so and report on e-devel ml.

Instead of relying on the value of edf (and having to set it on all
places to NULL) jump to 'open' label on the only possible case of the

It will show a warning when loading file that may use feature from
newer edje (show up with EINA_LOG_LEVEL=2 in the env).
Please don't forget to increase it when you add feature to edje
file format without breaking backward compatibility.
SVN revision: 51636
WARNING ! WARNING ! WARNING ! WARNING !
Old file format is not readable by edje directly. If you have old edje
file that you want to convert, use edje_convert. Their is no way back.
Recompile your file as soon as possible. Please report any issue you
spot as this is a huge and needed change.

internal representation.
The objectiv is to simplify code, consume less CPU and memory
without loosing feature. Please report any breakage when you
see them. It will take a few weeks before we change the file
layout, during that time the load time may increase.

but it could be much much much cleaner/better so i started a minimalist redo.
it's temporarily enabled right now. will disable soon to do in the background.

If file changed on disc (mtime), then make the reference dangling so
it is not reused anymore on subsequent open. If it is in cache, just
free it as it is not useful anymore.
This solves the following problem:
edje_object_file_set(ed, path, group);
ecore_file_cp(new_gen_file, path);
edje_object_file_set(ed, path, group); /* still uses the old one! */

This concerns Ticket #109: Add Lua support for Edje
It adds Lua as scripting facility to Edje, letting Embryo untouched.
It should be easier to use and be more flexible than Embryo, imho ;-)
---
The patch
---
Lua 5.1 is used in sandboxed mode. Lua byte code is not
platform/architecture independent, Lua code is saved as text in the Edje
container and parsed at load time, therefore.
The patch goes in two directions
1) Analogous to Embryo for scripting logic, messaging and custom states.
The same things are implemented as in Embryo:
- messaging from and to C
- manual creation of timers, animators, pollers for custom events /
animations
- manual manipulation of Edje parts by means of the public
edje_object_part_* and internal functions and custom states
-> those routines are actually implemented as Lua
bindings to
functions in Edje.h and Ecore.h
-> the implementation is done in an object oriented way, so that the
interface gives the feel of an object description language, pretty
similar to EDC itself
-> combining custom states and custom animators allows
for fancy
animations and transitions, e.g circular/spline translations or
complex/conditional transitions, etc.
-> this is just the same as Embryo does, but implemented in Lua, so
nothing new here, actually
2) Dynamic object creation and manipulation
- this interface stems from the 'script_only' objects in
Edje. Those
objects are a kind of scriptable Edje counterparts to Evas_Smart
objects. The infrastructure for Embryo is already there, but has
never been used
- I added this in Lua and added some first bindings to
experiment
with
- I thought it would be useful to allow for a limited dynamic
creation of ui parts
- We can create instances of groups from within the same Edje
container and use them just like the main Edje object as
stated in
1)
- And there are some stand-alone bindings to dynamically create
Evas_Image, Evas_Table, Evas_Line, Evas_Polygon as examples
-> this may be useful to decouple the program from the ui
even more,
to be able to do things that have to be done in the program itself
atm, but actually belong to the user interface, but need dynamic
creation of objects or complex interactions
-> those objects are manipulated manually with Lua bindings
to the
corresponding edje_object_* and evas_object_* functions
---
Discussion points
---
Both stuff in 1) & 2) is functioning, but needs testing, feedback,
improvements, ...
Stuff in 1) can already fully replace Embryo scripting with Lua
scripting. There still is space for improvements/additions, though.
Of the stuff in 2), I think it may only make sense to add the dynamic
creation of groups defined in the same Edje container. Dynamic creation
of other Evas_Objects makes not much sense, as most of them can already
be used as Edje parts and be manipulated with custom states (apart from
polygons and lines) and it would make the whole theming potentially more
programing-like and much more susceptible for errors, etc.
Would this be useful, or drop it all?
The scripting should be there just for logic, conditionals, custom
states and animations, not for a whole dynamic canvas, imho.
There is a patch around with EXTERNAL Edje parts. Seems to be a better,
faster, more secure way to extend Edje with custom objects.
There would be the possibility of precompiling Lua code at compile time
(edje_cc) for faster loading, but we would have to patch and run our own
Lua version.
The Lua parser is pretty fast, though, and using
byte-converted/endianness-swapped byte-code does only pay off for Lua
chunks of some kilo lines.
Byte code also occupies much more space than text in the final Edje
container, as it includes debug symbols.
---
Cedric and Vincent told me, that the plan was to replace Embryo totally
by Lua before the official release of Edje at the end of the year? So it
would make sense to bring Lua to svn soon and look how it fits in, test,
debug, adapt it further to the themers needs, decide on its final shape,
GATHER SOME PEOPLE TO HELP ;-)

The Lua enhanced Edje is in sync with svn and can be get directly here
git clone git://repo.or.cz/edje_lua.git
cd edje_lua
git checkout -b lua_patch origin/lua_patch
or apply the attached patch
There are also some examples to show the usage of the things
mentioned
above
- showcase.edj: shows usage of custom animators, custom states,
messaging and the script_only object
- test.edj: test cases of script usage and bindings (custom states,
custom transitions, tween_states, animators, timers,
object_parts),
but most of it are experimental script_only objects
http://didgmo.sourceforge.net/showcase.edjhttp://didgmo.sourceforge.net/test.edj
The source of showcase.edc is attached, too, to just have a glimpse at
Lua inside of EDC

So, what do you guys think?
Thanks and sry for the looong mail, hehe ;-)
