It's now possible to mark struct fields and function params as "references",
which causes them to become pointers in C (in bindings, they become whatever
is necessary). They're not a part of the type and are much more restricted
than pointers, allowing bindings to be easier. This system will be gradually
utilized and expanded as required.
@feature
Complex types (i.e. list, array, hash, accessor etc.) now do not require
pointers with them anymore (the pointer is implied) and the same goes for
class handles. Eolian now explicitly disallows creating pointers to these
as well. This is the first part of the work to remove pointers from Eolian
completely, with the goal of simplifying the DSL (higher level) and therefore
making it easier for bindings (as well as easier API usage).
@feature
This adds env var EOLIAN_PROPERTY_DOC_WARN which enables extra
warnings for properties that don't have a general doc but have
getter/setter doc. This will eventually become an error and
will be enabled by default. For now it's too verbose.
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
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);

Reverting this at Felipe's request following my email. There are many
things I strongly object to in this commit. I've touched the surface of
those on the ML (which doesn't work at the moment), though we need to
better discuss it.
The gist:
1. dlsym is a really bad hack that is not even needed.
2. I don't see why eo should even be aware of promises. It's not aware
of list, hash and etc.
3. The eolian changes were done wrong.
This should have been discussed and consulted before done, even if only
because of the amount of hacks it includes and the cross-domain (ecore,
eo and eolian) nature of it.
This reverts commit f9ba80ab33.
Add a promise object that 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 {
promise: Promise<int>;
}
}
}
}
Which will create the following API interface:
void foo_bar(Ecore_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.
