My previous patch to this piece of code
(37f84b7e96), caused a significant
performance regression. This is such a hot path, that even accessing the
strings when we don't have to slows things down drastically. It makes
more sense to just store it in the structure.
This commit breaks ABI (though most people probably won't even need to
recompile anything else because of the memory layout).
It was discussed on IRC and was decided this is a big enough issue to
warrant a fix during the freeze.
@fix
We use function names instead of function pointers of Windows, because
of dll import/export issues (more in a comment in eo.c). Before this
commit we were comparing the pointers to the strings instead of the
content in some of the places, which caused op desc lookup not to work.
This fixes that.
Thanks to vtorri for his assistance.
@fix
This bug was fixed in d889da6b12, but it was too
late at night to start hacking on extracting a regression test and adding it to
the suite, so adding it now.
This test makes sure that we only fallback to string comparison with legacy
events.
Commit 37f84b7e96 introduced a few changes
to the callback matching mechanism that made it so sometimes callbacks
would be triggered for the wrong events. The problem was there because
of the support for legacy events that forces to do string comparison
instead of the usual pointer comparison. We should only do string
comparison when we are certain one of the callbacks is a legacy
generated one.
Regression tests will follow tomorrow. Way too late here for that.
Thanks to cedric for reporting.
As described by Carsten in his email to edev ML titled:
"[E-devel] eo stability - i think we need to postpone that"
with the switch to Eo2 we significantly increased our usage of RW memory
pages, and thus significantly increased our memory usage when running
multiple applications.
The problem was that during the migration to Eo2 the op id cache and the
op description arrays were merged, causing the op description arrays to
no longer be RO. This patch enables users of Eo (mainly Eolian) to
declare those arrays as const (RO) again, saving that memory.
There might be performance implications with this patch. I had to remove
the op desc array sorting, and I used a hash table for the lookup. I
think the op desc sorting doesn't really affect performance because that
array is seldom accessed and is usually pretty short. The hash table
is not a problem either, because it's behind the scenes, so it can be
changed to a more efficient data structure if the hash table is not good
enough. The hash table itself is also rarely accessed, so it's mostly
about memory.
Please keep an eye for any bugs, performance or excessive memory usage.
I believe this should be better on all fronts.
This commit *BREAKS ABI*.
@fix
This hasn't been used for a while. Since we are going to break Eo a bit anyway
it's a good opportunity to drop this.
This may cause a slight performance issues with legacy events, such as
smart callbacks. This shouldn't really be a problem as we've migrated away from
them. If it does, we need to migrate the remaining parts. Only relevant
for callbacks that are added before the classes are created, which
shouldn't be possible except for smart, only for old evas callbacks.
After this change, parent_set assigns a ref, so for example:
obj = eo_add(CLASS, parent); /* Ref is 1 */
eo_do(obj, eo_parent_set(parent2)); /* Ref is 1 */
eo_ref(obj); /* Ref is 2 */
eo_do(obj, eo_parent_set(NULL)); /* Ref is 1, giving the ref to NULL */
eo_do(obj, eo_parent_set(parent)); /* Ref is 1 */
This is following a discussion on the ML about commit
8689d54471.
@feature
This was not really useful and against the Eolian guidelines.
While I promised I won't break things until the 27th, I was ill
(still am), so I'm giving myself a 1 day pass. :P
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.
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
This is a convenience macro to be used by the common pattern of getting
a part and then immediately calling functions on it. For example,
without this macro, you'd have to write code like:
Eo *part;
eo_do(obj, part = efl_part_name_get("partname"));
eo_do(part, a_set(7));
while using the helper function trims it to:
eo_do_part(obj, efl_part_name_get("partname"), a_set(7));
@feature
This affects eo_do() and eo_add() that used to use the ({}) GCCism.
Following a discussion with Peter de Ridder after my talk at FOSDEM,
we've decided to reopen the GCCism (works with other gcc compatible
compilers like clang and intelc) discussion, and after a bit of back and
forth it was decided to make things more portable, at the cost of ease
of use.
For example:
if (eo_do(obj, visible_get()))
is no longer allowed, the portable alternative
Eina_Bool tmp;
if (eo_do_ret(obj, tmp, visible_get()))
is to be used instead.
However:
eo_do(obj, a = a_get(), b = b_get(), bool_set(!bool_get))
are still allowed and OK.
eo_do(obj, if (a_get()) return;);
is no longer allowed, but:
eo_do(obj, if (a_get()) something());
is still allowed.
For clarity, this commit only incorporates the Eo changes, and not the
EFL changes to make the efl conform with this change.
Thanks again to Peter de Ridder for triggering this important discussion
which led to this change.
When running eo_test_suite we get an memory error: "double free or corruption".
That error arises because we try to free an Eina_Value value in eo_test_value
that doesn't need to freed.
I switched the eina_value_free to wina_value_flush, the proper way of
releasing it.
@fix
Before this fix, when a deletion was invoked twice on an object, a
wrong message ("...You wrongly call eo_unref() within a destructor...")
was printed. This was caused by the del_triggered flag that was not
resetted when the destruction finished.
This patch fixes this behavior by printing the right message on a double
deletion.
It works but the compiler is right when complaining about it. fail_unless()
expects and integer but we passed in a pointer. Negate the pointer and use
fail_if() like we do in all other places.
This adds a fragile test for cedric's fix from commit
3550c38080.
It assumes that all the added 64 functions are in order and that each
eo_op chain is 32 in length. As long as those don't change, this should
be a decent test.
For some reason, they were normal functions instead of eo functions,
which makes them harder to bind, less safe, and just wrong.
This commit fixes that.
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).
This enables checking if an object is being created, or has already been
finalized. This is useful in functions that you want to allow
only during the creation phase (i.e inside the eo_add()).
as stated in f92e5d50, instead of using eo_add_custom() thus a custom
constructor and maybe overriding the default constructor to block it,
- use the default constructor to build the object
- add calls to eo_add(), to initialize the object
eo_add(class, parent, val_a_set(1), val_b_set(2), ... );
- override eo_finalize to validate the object and if needed,
use eo_error_set(obj) to abort object construction
This function lets you hook at the end of eo_add and override it for a
class. This is essentially the first step towards killing custom
constructors. Instead of having a custom constructor, you should just
do:
eo_add(CLASS, parent, a_set(3), b_set("eou"));
eo_constructor is called at the beginning for pre-init things.
eo_finalize is called at the end, for actually finalizing and doing
things. This cleans up the API and possibly saves a lot of things that
would have been stupid and slow in the past, like loading an elm widget
with an existing theme, and then changing the theme.
** This breaks Eo ABI, please recompile elementary and everything else that
creates eo objects.
@feature
Summary:
2 threads run 'eo2_do(o, a(), b());'
- A goes first, creates an object, enters 'eo2_do(o, a(), b());'
in a() call, it blocks, releases B and waits for it.
- B when released, creates an object, enters 'eo2_do(o, a(), b());'
in a() call, it joins and releases A, then blocks.
- A returns from a(); and enters b() using current call stack frame,
which is the one pushed by B! then pop the frame and releases B.
- B does as above using the stack pushed by A!
as we don't support multiple composites of the same class,
and know at class elaboration how many composites we should have,
we can create the composites array and pack it at the end of the object.
eo_composite_attach fail if the class of the composite is not
listed in the parent class extensions, or if there is already a
composite of the same class. The later because calls are
forwarded to the first responding composite, see _eo_op_internal().
This reverts commit 1714fe93f4.
We actually want this type, it makes things clearer.

We want to introduce a new mechanism concerning the data of the Eo
objects.
The goal is to improve the memory management by defragmenting the memory
banks used by the Eo objects. The first phase has been done by raster
and consists in allocating the objects into a separate memory region
that the one used by malloc. So now, we know where our objects are
located.
Now, moving objects means moving data of objects. The issue we have here
is that a lot of data pointers are stored into data of other objects,
e.g Evas Object data into lists for rendering...
We need a way to reference the data and eo_data_get doesn't provide us
that. So we need to improve the API for data extraction by requesting
from the developer if the data will be stored or not. Five functions are
supplied:
- eo_data_scope_get: no referencing, the data pointer is no more used after
exiting the function.
- eo_data_ref: reference the data of the object. It means that while the
data is referenced, the object cannot be moved.
- eo_data_xref: reference the data of the object but for debug purpose,
we associate the objects that references. Same behavior as eo_data_ref
for non-debug.
- eo_data_unref: unreference the data of an object.
- eo_data_xunref: unreference the data of an object previously
referenced by another object.
I deprecated the eo_data_get function. Most of the time,
eo_data_scope_get needs to be used.
In the next patches, I changed the eo_data_get to the corresponding
functions, according to the usage of the data pointer.
The next step is to find all the places in the code where the data is
stored but not yet referenced. This will be done by:
- requesting from every object to unreference all data to other objects.
- moving all the objects from one region to another
- requesting from every object to rerefenrence the data.
- debugging by hunting the segmentation faults and other weird
creatures.
These functions let you pass an array of callbacks instead of just one.
It's more memory efficient to use this if you just add a bulk of events
on the same object.
This commits breaks ABI, and breaks API of the EO_EV_CALLBACK_ADD/DEL
signals (the event info passed).
We now need to pass the current class to eo_do_super. This is faster and
more memory efficient and generally lets us do things better.
Using the eo_benchmarks we get ~20% speed-up.
This was stupid from the start, but now it casuse even more issues.
We'll have to just add a configure option to it when the time comes.

It doesn't affect proto/eobj so no need to do it there too.
There are things we only test if NDEBUG is not passed to Eo. Eo itself was
compiled with NDEBUG but the tests were not notified about it so those tests
failed.
Many thanks to Vincent and Stefan for bugging me about it non-stop, without
you guys, I may never have gotten to it.
