This changes a lot of things all across the EFL. Previously,
methods tagged @const had both their external prototype and
internal impl generated with const on object, while property
getters only had const on the external API. This is now changed
and it all has const everywhere.
Ref T6859.
so the MAIN loop is actually an efl.app object. which inherits from
efl.loop. the idea is that other loops in threads will not be efl.app
objects. thread on the creator side return an efl.thread object.
inside the thread, like the mainloop, there is now an efl.appthread
object that is for all non-main-loop threads.
every thread (main loop or child) when it spawns a thread is the
parent. there are i/o pipes from parnet to child and back. so parents
are generally expected to, if they want to talk to child thread, so
use the efl.io interfaces on efl.thread, and the main loop's elf.app
class allows you to talk to stdio back to the parent process like the
efl.appthread does the same using the efl.io interfaces to talk to its
parent app or appthread. it's symmetrical
no tests here - sure. i have been holding off on tests until things
settle. that's why i haven't done them yet. those will come back in a

Go back to before efl.app because I think this should be done with
superclassing here not a parent object. reasons?
1. multiple loops per single thread make no sense. so if multilpe loop
objects they wont be contained in a single app object and then deleted
like this.
2. the app object is not really sharable in this design so it cant be
accessed from other threads
3. it makes it harder to get the main loop or app object (well 2 func
calls one calling the other and more typing. it is longer to type and
more work where it is not necessary, and again it can't work from
other threads unless we go duplicating efl.app per thread and then
what is the point of splittyign out the signal events from efl.loop
then?)
etc.

also eina_procmis was not threadsafe so cannto use loops in different
threads at all until this was made safe. needed to disable the old
ecore_event using code in for ecore futures and create a new efl loop
message future and handler instead ... but now a quick experiment with
multiple loops in 10 threads plus mainloop have timers at least work.
i need to test more like fd handlers etc etc. but it's a step.
stop using the legacy ecore_loop_time_get() func when it should be
coming from the loop object's loop time. also ecore_time_get should
never fall back on ecore_loop_time_get for similar reasons.
part of making the ecore/efl loop a non-global instance (allow loops
in threads)
we really should have data inside the loop object, so begin moving it
one small thing at a time. this is the basics that will allow multiple
efl loops. make an eo efl object and class for fd handlers that is efl loop
bound make fd handlers really bound to their parent loop and not global as
well as have a nice class/obj. create an message queue per loop and
put legacy ecore events on top of it... and a lot more.
this is not 100% done, but it's a lot of the core and groundwork.
various ecore_timer_add(), ecore_diler_add() etc. need changes.
The following still need doing:
ecore_timer (internal usage for sure)
ecore_idler (internal usage for sure)
ecore_idle_enterer
ecore_idle_exiter
ecore_pollers? (is the new efl loop stuff ok?)
ecore_exe (fork/spawn from any thread and track exe from that thread?)
ecore_signal code
ecore_throttle (should we have a single global too? we have per loop)
ecore_app ? (should every loop be given its own argv/argc?)
Lots of internal ecore code uses/calls these legacy calls and we
should have efl loop replacements and/or use the ones we have
The following will bedifferently designed for loop to loop

ecore_thread
ecore_pipe

This is particularly useful for ecore_timer_loop_add which are not
supposed to trigger any syscall. It does add a new requirement
on the EFL_LOOP_TIME_CLASS to always have an interval defined during
construction.
It has been discussed on the ML (thread: "[RFC] rename efl_self") and
IRC, and has been decided we should rename it to this in order to avoid
confusion with the already established meaning of self which is very
similar to what we were using it for, but didn't have complete overlap.
Kudos to Marcel Hollerbach for initiating the discussion and
fighting for it until he convinced a significant mass. :)
This commit breaks API, and depending on compiler potentially ABI.
@feature
Efl.Object.event_callback_call no longer calls legacy smart callbacks;
calling only event callbacks registered with the given event description
pointer.
Create the method Efl.Object.event_callback_legacy_call to inherit the old
behavior from Efl.Object.event_callback_call, calling both Efl.Object events
and legacy smart callbacks.
Update all other files accordingly in order to still supply legacy
callbacks while they are necessary.
ecore_timer_del() checks a flag "inside_call" that can be
set before calling the timer cb... but it was never reset
to 0. So, all legacy timers would keep on ticking forever
and ever, until they return CANCEL.
Anyway, I find the distinction between eo_del and
ecore_timer_del very troubling. eo_del() should work
on a legacy timer. Ping @cedric. Maybe override eo_del()?
Fixes T3898
As we add more object in the main loop, they can't live in the top
namespace as they make little sense there (Efl.Fd !). For coherence,
everyone should in the loop namespace, so move timer there.
This reverts commit 546ff7bbba.
It seems that eo_del() is useful and removing it was creating bugs.
The issue is that the way we defined parents in eo, both the parent and
the programmer share a reference to the object. When we eo_unref() that
reference as the programmer, eo has no way to know it's this specific
reference we are freeing, and not a general one, so in some
circumstances, for example:
eo_ref(child);
eo_unref(child); // trying to delete here
eo_unref(container); // container is deleted here
eo_unref(child); // child already has 0 refs before this point.
We would have an issue with references and objects being freed too soon
and in general, issue with the references.
Having eo_del() solves that, because this one explicitly unparents if
there is a parent, meaning the reference ownership is explicitly taken
by the programmer.
eo_del() is essentially a convenience function around "check if has
parent, and if so unparent, otherwise, unref". Which should be used when
you want to delete an object although it has a parent, and is equivalent
to eo_unref() when it doesn't have one.
Previously events used to use class name as a prefix and ignored eo_prefix
when specified. This is no longer the case. Events follow eo_prefix by default
now. In order to get around this for classes where this is undesirable, a new
field event_prefix was added which takes priority over eo_prefix. If neither
is specified, class name is used like previously.
@feature
We used to have eo_del() as the mirrored action to eo_add(). No longer,
now you just always eo_unref() to delete an object. This change makes it
so the reference of the parent is shared with the reference the
programmer has. So eo_parent_set(obj, NULL) can free an object, and so
does eo_unref() (even if there is a parent).
This means Eo no longer complains if you have a parent during deletion.
This reverts commit a13570c17c.
This doesn't really fix the problem which is hidden by eo capability to not
crash on bad unref. With legacy API you are allowed to do a ecore_timer_del
and also return EINA_FALSE. In that case you have a double eo_del (which is
luckily protected) and a double free (that is not). It does crash on the
double free, but the issue is a lifecycle issue. Will bring a better patch
for this.
I just ran my script (email to follow) to migrate all of the EFL
automatically. This commit is *only* the automatic conversion, so it can
be easily reverted and re-run.
This is another cleanup in perparation for the Eo stable release.
This is no longer needed thanks to the proper error reporting with
eo_constructor()'s new return value.
The finalizer change cleans it up a bit so it catches more cases/issues.
This also means that the finalizer cleans up the object in all cases,
and not only some.
@feature.
Before this change eo_add() used to create an object with 1 ref, and if
the object had a parent, a second ref.
Now, eo_add() always returns an object with 1 ref, and eo_add_ref()
preserves the old behaviour (for bindings).
eo_unref now un-parents if refcount is 0, and eo_del() is an alias for
eo_unref (will change to be a way to ensure an object is dead and goes
to zombie-land even if still refed).
