From now on, constructors should return a value, usually the object
being worked on, or NULL (if the constructor failed). This can also
be used for implementing singletons, by just always returning the same
object from the constructor.
This is one of the final steps towards stabilizing Eo.
@feature
In convert.cc: Reading functions instead of implements to convert the
Eolian_Class. It avoids creation of methods that do not belong to the
class, in special it avoids calling the default constructor twice in the
generated code.
No longer generating one constructor in the C++ wrapper for each eolian
class constructor, since the correct behavior demands that all constructor
should be called. Now the wrappers have "constructor methods" that
must be called when creating a new object.
Updated test cases and examples to match the new interface. Some class
constructors and some test cases have to be removed since they were based
on the wrong assumption that constructors are mutually exclusive.
Created new generators for forwarding parameters and for looping over
the relevant parameters to the C++ wrapper executing a generic lambda.
Added a TODO comment regarding the call of constructor methods of all
base classes. Currently there is no base type with constructors, so this
situation should be discussed more.
Added a TODO comment regarding the way callback parameters are being
processed.
