Now when dealing with pointer types, we will not get pointer to
pointer semantics in callbacks and eina_promise_owner_value_set
for Eina_Promise.
It will work as expected:
Eina_Promise_Owner* promise = eina_promise_add();
void* p = malloc(sizeof(T));
eina_promise_owner_value_set(promise, p, &free);
Added eina_promise_race function that composes multiple
promise objects into a new promise which is fulfilled
when one of the promises are fulfilled, or fails
when one of the promises have failed.
Add a way for users of the promise owner to get notified when a
promise progress is registered. Also added a convenience composition
function that creates a promise which is fulfilled when another
promise has a progress notification.
Modify the way hooks are defined and used by promise generation in
Eolian in the Eo API.
Instead of passing macro names as parameters to EO_FUNC_BODY macros,
just re-define the actual hooks when it is needed.
Add a promise object to allows Eolian interface to include promises
as a way to have asynchronous value return and composibility.
The usage is like this in a .eo file:
class Foo {
methods {
bar {
params {
@inout promise: Promise<int>;
}
}
}
}
Which will create the following API interface:
void foo_bar(Eo* obj, Eina_Promise** promise);
and a Eina_Promise_Owner for the implementation, like this:
void _foo_bar(Eo* obj, Private_Data* pdata, Eina_Promise_Owner* promise);

Add a promise object that will allows Eolian interface to include promises
as a way to have asynchronous value return and composibility.
To understand better, let see the coming usage in a .eo file:
class Foo {
methods {
bar {
params {
@inout promise: Promise<int>;
}
}
}
}
Which will create the following API interface:
void foo_bar(Eo* obj, Eina_Promise** promise);
and the equivalent declaration for implementation.
However, the API function will instantiate the Promise for the user
and the implementer of the class automatically. So the user of this
function will treat it as a @out parameter, while the developer of the
function will treat it like a @inout parameter.
So, the user will use this function like this:
Eina_Promise* promise; // No need to instantiate
foo_bar(obj, &promise);
eina_promise_then(promise, callback);
