/**
* @page Ecore_Main_Loop_Page The Ecore Main Loop
*
* @section Ecore_Main_Loop_Page_intro What is Ecore?
*
* Ecore is a clean and tiny event loop library with many modules to do lots of
* convenient things for a programmer, to save time and effort. It's small and
* lean, designed to work from embedded systems all the way up to large and
* powerful multi-cpu workstations. The main loop has a number of primitives to
* be used with its main loop. It serializes all the primitives and allows for
* great responsiveness without the need for threads(or any other concurrency).
*
* @subsection timers Timers
*
* Timers serve two main purposes: doing something at a specified time and
* repeatedly doing something with a set interval.
* @see Ecore_Timer_Group
*
* @subsection pollers Pollers
*
* Pollers allow for polling to be centralized into a single place therefore
* alleviating the need for different parts of the program to wake up at
* different times to do polling, thereby making the code simpler and more
* efficient.
* @see Ecore_Poller_Group
*
* @subsection idler Idlers
*
* There are three types of idlers, enterers, idlers(proper) and exiters, they
* are called, respectively, when the program is about to enter an idle state,
* when the program is idle and when the program is leaving an idle state. Idler
* enterers are usually a good place to update the program state. Proper idlers
* are the appropriate place to do heavy computational tasks thereby using what
* would otherwise be wasted CPU cycles. Exiters are the perfect place to do
* anything your program should do just before processing events (also timers,
* pollers, file descriptor handlers and animators)
* @see Ecore_Idle_Group
*
* @subsection fd_handler File descriptor handlers
*
* File descriptor handlers allow you to monitor when there is data available to
* read on file descriptors, when writing will not block or if there was an
* error. Any valid file descriptor can be used with this API, regardless of if
* was gotten with an OS specific API or from ecore.
* @see Ecore_FD_Handler_Group
*
* @subsection animators Animators
*
* Ecore provides a facility called animators, so named since the intended use
* was in animations, that facilitates knowing what percentage of a given
* interval has elapsed. This is perfect for performing animations, but is not
* limited to that use, it can, for example, also be used to create a progress
* bar.
* @see Ecore_Animator_Group
*
* @subsection ev_handlers Event handlers
*
* Event handlers are, arguably, the most important feature of the ecore main
* loop, they are what allows the programmer to easily handle user interaction.
* Events however are not only things the user does, events can represent
* anything for which a type is created.
* @see Ecore_Event_Group
*
* All of these primitives are discussed in more detail in their respective
* pages linked above.
*
* Here is a diagram of the main loop flow of a simple program:
*
* @image html prog_flow.png
* @image latex prog_flow.eps width=\textwidth
*
*
*
* @section Ecore_Main_Loop_Page_work How does Ecore work?
*
* Ecore is very easy to learn and use. All the function calls are designed to
* be easy to remember, explicit in describing what they do, and heavily
* name-spaced. Ecore programs can start and be very simple.
*
* For example:
*
* @code
* #include <Ecore.h>
*
* int
* main(int argc, const char **argv)
* {
* ecore_init();
* ecore_app_args_set(argc, argv);
* ecore_main_loop_begin();
* ecore_shutdown();
* return 0;
* }
* @endcode
*
* This program is very simple and doesn't check for errors, but it does start up
* and begin a main loop waiting for events or timers to tick off. This program
* doesn't set up any, but now we can expand on this simple program a little
* more by adding some event handlers and timers.
*
* @code
* #include <Ecore.h>
*
* Ecore_Timer *timer1 = NULL;
* Ecore_Event_Handler *handler1 = NULL;
* double start_time = 0.0;
*
* int
* timer_func(void *data)
* {
* printf("Tick timer. Sec: %3.2f\n", ecore_time_get() - start_time);
* return 1;
* }
*
* int
* exit_func(void *data, int ev_type, void *ev)
* {
* Ecore_Event_Signal_Exit *e;
*
* e = (Ecore_Event_Signal_Exit *)ev;
* if (e->interrupt) printf("Exit: interrupt\n");
* else if (e->quit) printf("Exit: quit\n");
* else if (e->terminate) printf("Exit: terminate\n");
* ecore_main_loop_quit();
* return 1;
* }
*
* int
* main(int argc, const char **argv)
* {
* ecore_init();
* ecore_app_args_set(argc, argv);
* start_time = ecore_time_get();
* handler1 = ecore_event_handler_add(ECORE_EVENT_SIGNAL_EXIT, exit_func, NULL);
* timer1 = ecore_timer_add(0.5, timer_func, NULL);
* ecore_main_loop_begin();
* ecore_shutdown();
* return 0;
* }
* @endcode
*
* In the previous example, we initialize our application and get the time at
* which our program has started so we can calculate an offset. We set
* up a timer to tick off in 0.5 seconds, and since it returns 1, will
* keep ticking off every 0.5 seconds until it returns 0, or is deleted
* by hand. An event handler is set up to call a function -
* exit_func(),
* whenever an event of type ECORE_EVENT_SIGNAL_EXIT is received (CTRL-C
* on the command line will cause such an event to happen). If this event
* occurs it tells you what kind of exit signal was received, and asks
* the main loop to quit when it is finished by calling
* ecore_main_loop_quit().
*
* The handles returned by ecore_timer_add() and
* ecore_event_handler_add() are
* only stored here as an example. If you don't need to address the timer or
* event handler again you don't need to store the result, so just call the
* function, and don't assign the result to any variable.
*
* This program looks slightly more complex than needed to do these simple
* things, but in principle, programs don't get any more complex. You add more
* event handlers, for more events, will have more timers and such, BUT it all
* follows the same principles as shown in this example.
*

/**
* @defgroup Ecore_Event_Group Ecore Event functions
*
* Ecore events provide two main features that are of use to those using ecore:
* creating events and being notified of events. Those two will usually be used
* in different contexts, creating events is mainly done by libraries wrapping
* some system functionality while being notified of events is mainly a
* necessity of applications.
*
* For a program to be notified of events it's interested in it needs to have a
* function to process the event and to register that function as the callback
* to the event, that's all:
* @code
* ecore_event_handler_add(EVENT_TYPE, _my_event_handler, some_data);
* ...
* static Eina_Bool
* _my_event_handler(void *data, int type, void *event)
* {
* //data is some_data
* //event is provided by whoever created the event
* //Do really cool stuff with event
* }
* @endcode
*
* One very important thing to note here is the @c EVENT_TYPE, to register a
* handler for an event you must know its type before hand. Ecore provides
* the following events which are emitted in response to POSIX
* signals(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_%28computing%29):
* @li @b ECORE_EVENT_SIGNAL_USER
* @li @b ECORE_EVENT_SIGNAL_HUP
* @li @b ECORE_EVENT_SIGNAL_POWER
* @li @b ECORE_EVENT_SIGNAL_EXIT
*
* @warning Don't override these using the @c signal or @c sigaction calls.
* These, however, aren't the only signals one can handle. Many
* libraries(including ecore modules) have their own signals that can be
* listened for and handled, to do that one only needs to know the type of the
* event. This information can be found on the documentation of the library
* emitting the signal, so, for example, for events related to windowing one
* would look in @ref Ecore_Evas_Group.
*
* Examples of libraries that integrate into ecore's main loop by providing
* events are @ref Ecore_Con_Group, @ref Ecore_Evas_Group and @ref
* Ecore_Exe_Group, amongst others. This usage can be divided into two parts,
* setup and adding events. The setup is very simple, all that needs doing is
* getting a type id for the event:
* @code
* int MY_EV_TYPE = ecore_event_type_new();
* @endcode
* @note This variable should be declared in the header since it'll be needed by
* anyone wishing to register a handler to your event.
*
* The complexity of adding of an event to the queue depends on whether that
* event sends uses @c event, if it doesn't it a one-liner:
* @code
* ecore_event_add(MY_EV_TYPE, NULL, NULL, NULL);
* @endcode
* The usage when an @c event is needed is not that much more complex and can be
* seen in @ref ecore_event_add.
*
* Examples that deals with events:
* @li @ref ecore_event_example_01_c
* @li @ref ecore_event_example_02_c

* monitor a socket, pipe, or other stream for which an FD can be had.
*
* @warning File descriptor handlers can't be used to monitor for file creation,
* modification or deletion, see @ref Ecore_File_Group for this.
*
* One common FD to be monitored is the standard input(stdin), monitoring it for
* reading requires a single call:

* static Eina_Bool
* _my_cb_func(void *data, Ecore_Fd_Handler *handler)
* {

* ... do stuff with c ...
* }
* ecore_main_fd_handler_add(STDIN_FILENO, ECORE_FD_READ, _my_cb_func, NULL, NULL, NULL);
* @endcode
*
* When using a socket, pipe or other stream it's important to remember that
* errors may occur and as such to monitor not only for reading/writing but also
* for errors using the @ref ECORE_FD_ERROR flag.

/**
* @defgroup Ecore_Poller_Group Ecore Poll functions
*
* Ecore poller provides infrastructure for the creation of pollers. Pollers
* are, in essence, callbacks that share a single timer per type. Because not
* all pollers need to be called at the same frequency the user may specify the
* frequency in ticks(each expiration of the shared timer is called a tick, in
* ecore poller parlance) for each added poller. Ecore pollers should only be
* used when the poller doesn't have specific requirements on the exact times
* to poll.
*
* This architecture means that the main loop is only woken up once to handle
* all pollers of that type, this will save power as the CPU has more of a
* chance to go into a low power state the longer it is asleep for, so this
* should be used in situations where power usage is a concern.
*
* For now only 1 core poller type is supported: ECORE_POLLER_CORE, the default
* interval for ECORE_POLLER_CORE is 0.125(or 1/8th) second.
*
* The creation of a poller is extremely simple and only requires one line:
* @code
* ecore_poller_add(ECORE_POLLER_CORE, 1, my_poller_function, NULL);

* @brief Ecore animators are a helper to simplify creating
* animations.
*
* Creating an animation is as simple as saying for how long it
* should be run and having a callback that does the animation,
* something like this:
* @code
* static Eina_Bool
* _do_animation(void *data, double pos)
* {
* evas_object_move(data, 100 * pos, 100 * pos);
* ... do some more animating ...
* }
* ...
*ecore_animator_timeline_add(2, _do_animation, my_evas_object);
* @endcode
* In the sample above we create an animation to move
* @c my_evas_object from position (0,0) to (100,100) in 2 seconds.
*
* If your animation will run for an unspecified amount of time you
* can use ecore_animator_add(), which is like using
*ecore_timer_add() with the interval being the
* @ref ecore_animator_frametime_set "framerate". Note that this has
* tangible benefits to creating a timer for each animation in terms
* of performance.
*
* For a more detailed example that show several animation see
* @ref tutorial_ecore_animator.

* The idler functionality in Ecore allows for callbacks to be called when the
* program isn't handling @ref Ecore_Event_Group "events", @ref Ecore_Timer_Group
* "timers" or @ref Ecore_FD_Handler_Group "fd handlers".
*
* There are three types of idlers: Enterers, Idlers(proper) and Exiters. They
* are called, respectively, when the program is about to enter an idle state,
* when the program is in an idle state and when the program has just left an
* idle state and will begin processing @ref Ecore_Event_Group "events", @ref
* Ecore_Timer_Group "timers" or @ref Ecore_FD_Handler_Group "fd handlers".
*
* Enterer callbacks are good for updating your program's state, if
* it has a state engine. Once all of the enterer handlers are
* called, the program will enter a "sleeping" state.
*
* Idler callbacks are called when the main loop has called all
* enterer handlers. They are useful for interfaces that require
* polling and timers would be too slow to use.
*
* Exiter callbacks are called when the main loop wakes up from an idle state.
*
* If no idler callbacks are specified, then the process literally
* goes to sleep. Otherwise, the idler callbacks are called
* continuously while the loop is "idle", using as much CPU as is
* available to the process.
*
* @note Idle state doesn't mean that the @b program is idle, but
* that the <b>main loop</b> is idle. It doesn't have any timers,
* events, fd handlers or anything else to process (which in most
* <em>event driven</em> programs also means that the @b program is
* idle too, but it's not a rule). The program itself may be doing
* a lot of processing in the idler, or in another thread, for
* example.

/**
* @defgroup Ecore_Thread_Group Ecore Thread functions
*
* Facilities to run heavy tasks in different threads to avoid blocking
* the main loop.
*
* The EFL is, for the most part, not thread safe. This means that if you
* have some task running in another thread and you have, for example, an
* Evas object to show the status progress of this task, you cannot update
* the object from within the thread. This can only be done from the main
* thread, the one running the main loop. This problem can be solved
* by running a thread that sends messages to the main one using an
* @ref Ecore_Pipe_Group "Ecore_Pipe", but when you need to handle other
* things like cancelling the thread, your code grows in complexity and gets
* much harder to maintain.
*
* Ecore Thread is here to solve that problem. It is @b not a simple wrapper
* around standard POSIX threads (or the equivalent in other systems) and
* it's not meant to be used to run parallel tasks throughout the entire
* duration of the program, especially when these tasks are performance
* critical, as Ecore manages these tasks using a pool of threads based on
* system configuration.
*
* What Ecore Thread does, is make it a lot easier to dispatch a worker
* function to perform some heavy task and then get the result once it
* completes, without blocking the application's UI. In addition, cancelling
* and rescheduling comes practically for free and the developer needs not
* worry about how many threads are launched, since Ecore will schedule
* them according to the number of processors the system has and maximum
* amount of concurrent threads set for the application.
*
* At the system level, Ecore will start a new thread on an as-needed basis
* until the maximum set is reached. When no more threads can be launched,
* new worker functions will be queued in a waiting list until a thread
* becomes available. This way, system threads will be shared throughout
* different worker functions, but running only one at a time. At the same
* time, a worker function that is rescheduled may be run on a different
* thread the next time.
*
* The ::Ecore_Thread handler has two meanings, depending on what context
* it is on. The one returned when starting a worker with any of the
* functions ecore_thread_run() or ecore_thread_feedback_run() is an
* identifier of that specific instance of the function and can be used from
* the main loop with the ecore_thread_cancel() and ecore_thread_check()
* functions. This handler must not be shared with the worker function
* function running in the thread. This same handler will be the one received
* on the @c end, @c cancel and @c feedback callbacks.
*
* The worker function, that's the one running in the thread, also receives
* an ::Ecore_Thread handler that can be used with ecore_thread_cancel() and
*ecore_thread_check(), sharing the flag with the main loop. But this
* handler is also associated with the thread where the function is running.
* This has strong implications when working with thread local data.
*
* There are two kinds of worker threads Ecore handles: simple, or short,
* workers and feedback workers.
*
* The first kind is for simple functions that perform a
* usually small but time consuming task. Ecore will run this function in
* a thread as soon as one becomes available and notify the calling user of
* its completion once the task is done.
*
* The following image shows the flow of a program running four tasks on
* a pool of two threads.
*
* @image html ecore_thread.png
* @image rtf ecore_thread.png
* @image latex ecore_thread.eps width=\textwidth
*
* For larger tasks that may require continuous communication with the main
* program, the feedback workers provide the same functionality plus a way
* for the function running in the thread to send messages to the main
* thread.
*
* The next diagram omits some details shown in the previous one regarding
* how threads are spawned and tasks are queued, but illustrates how feedback
* jobs communicate with the main loop and the special case of threads
* running out of pool.

* This function will try to create a new thread to run @p func_blocking in,

* add it to the pending list, where it will wait until a thread becomes
* available. The return value will be an ::Ecore_Thread handle that can
* be used to cancel the thread before its completion.
*
* @note This function should always return immediately, but in the rare
* case that Ecore is built with no thread support, @p func_blocking will
* be called here, actually blocking the main loop.
*
* Once a thread becomes available, @p func_blocking will be run in it until
* it finishes, then @p func_end is called from the thread containing the
* main loop to inform the user of its completion. While in @p func_blocking,
* no functions from the EFL can be used, except for those from Eina that are
* marked to be thread-safe. Even for the latter, caution needs to be taken
* if the data is shared across several threads.
*
* @p func_end will be called from the main thread when @p func_blocking ends,
* so here it's safe to use anything from the EFL freely.
*
* The thread can also be cancelled before its completion calling
*ecore_thread_cancel(), either from the main thread or @p func_blocking.
* In this case, @p func_cancel will be called, also from the main thread
* to inform of this happening. If the thread could not be created, this
* function will be called and it's @c thread parameter will be NULL. It's
* also safe to call any EFL function here, as it will be running in the

* to tell Ecore that this function should be called again.
*
* Be aware that no assumptions can be made about the order in which the
* @p func_end callbacks for each task will be called. Once the function is
* running in a different thread, it's the OS that will handle its running
* schedule, and different functions may take longer to finish than others.
* Also remember that just starting several tasks together doesn't mean they
* will be running at the same time. Ecore will schedule them based on the
* number of threads available for the particular system it's running in,
* so some of the jobs started may be waiting until another one finishes
* before it can execute its own @p func_blocking.

*
* Ecore Thread has a mechanism to share data across several worker functions
* that run on the same system thread. That is, the data is stored per
* thread and for a worker function to have access to it, it must be run
* by the same thread that stored the data.
*
* When there are no more workers pending, the thread will be destroyed
* along with the internal hash and any data left in it will be freed with
* the @p cb function given.
*
* This set of functions is useful to share things around several instances
* of a function when that thing is costly to create and can be reused, but
* may only be used by one function at a time.
*
* For example, if you have a program doing requisitions to a database,
* these requisitions can be done in threads so that waiting for the
* database to respond doesn't block the UI. Each of these threads will
* run a function, and each function will be dependent on a connection to
* the database, which may not be able to handle more than one request at
* a time so for each running function you will need one connection handle.
* The options then are:
* @li Each function opens a connection when it's called, does the work and
* closes the connection when it finishes. This may be costly, wasting a lot
* of time on resolving hostnames, negotiating permissions and allocating
* memory.
* @li Open the connections in the main loop and pass it to the threads
* using the data pointer. Even worse, it's just as costly as before and now
* it may even be kept with connections open doing nothing until a thread
* becomes available to run the function.
* @li Have a way to share connection handles, so that each instance of the
* function can check if an available connection exists, and if it doesn't,
* create one and add it to the pool. When no more connections are needed,
* they are all closed.
*
* The last option is the most efficient, but it requires a lot of work to
* implement properly. Using thread local data helps to achieve the same
* result while avoiding doing all the tracking work on your code. The way
* to use it would be, at the worker function, to ask for the connection
* with ecore_thread_local_data_find() and if it doesn't exist, then open
* a new one and save it with ecore_thread_local_data_add(). Do the work and
* forget about the connection handle, when everything is done the function
* just ends. The next worker to run on that thread will check if a
* connection exists and find that it does, so the process of opening a
* new one has been spared. When no more workers exist, the thread is
* destroyed and the callback used when saving the connection will be called
* to close it.
*
* This function adds the data @p value to the thread data under the given
* @p key.
* No other value in the hash may have the same @p key. If you need to
* change the value under a @p key, or you don't know if one exists already,
* you can use ecore_thread_local_data_set().
*
* Neither @p key nor @p value may be @c NULL and @p key will be copied in the
* hash, unless @p direct is set, in which case the string used should not
* be freed until the data is removed from the hash.
*
* The @p cb function will be called when the data in the hash needs to be
* freed, be it because it got deleted with ecore_thread_local_data_del() or
* because @p thread was terminated and the hash destroyed. This parameter
* may be NULL, in which case @p value needs to be manually freed after
* removing it from the hash with either ecore_thread_local_data_del() or
* ecore_thread_local_data_set(), but it's very unlikely that this is what
* you want.
*

* you can use ecore_thread_global_data_set().

* hash, unless @p direct is set, in which case the string used should not
* be freed until the data is removed from the hash.
*
* The @p cb function will be called when the data in the hash needs to be
* freed, be it because it got deleted with ecore_thread_global_data_del() or

* may be NULL, in which case @p value needs to be manually freed after
* removing it from the hash with either ecore_thread_global_data_del() or
