Function pointers now go through the same argument marshalling pipeline
as normal functions.
This will enable interfaces like Efl.Ui.Format to work properly.
When we have an eina.Value_Native (representing an Eina_Value passed by
value) and assign it to an eina.Value (a class with an IntPtr to an
underlying Eina_Value) we copy it so the eina.Value can take ownership
and free the data normally.
A possibly better alternative would be adding an extra flag to
eina.Value (something like OwnsPointer) to check whether we should free
the struct we point to or not.
Instead of
var bg = efl.ui.Background.static_cast(myobj.Part("background"));
Now do
var bg = myobj.Background;
Also a couple helper functions were added.
In general, ptr(struct) parameters behavior depends whether the
parameter has the @owned modifier or not.
If there is no @owned parameter (meaning no transfer of ownership
happens) and it is a "complex" struct, with reference type fields
(like strings), the struct is converted to the respective
<Struct>Internal struct and passed with "ref" to the DllImport'd
function. For @in parameters, after the function it returns, this
intermediate struct is converted to the public struct type and
assigned to the original parameter, updating it to the external
world.
When we have ownership transfers, the structure is copied to unmanaged
memory and given to the callee. We can't send managed memory directly as
the callee may try to free it. On the managed side, the original struct
is left to be garbage collected normally.
This commit adds the "documentation" generator, which gets the
documentation_def attribute of the given item and generates xml comments
to be exported by MCS.
For items requiring some customization of the generated comments (e.g.
functions and its parameters), the helpers to generate the preamble
(summary), body (paragraphs) and epilogue (currently just the @since
tag) were added.
Currently we do not support converting Eolian references into xmldoc
references.
As we explicitly generate Get/Set methods for properties, for now the
generator tries to get the get/set specific documentation first. If it
is not present, fallback to the common docs.
Later this could be changed to generate the common one as paragraphs of
the Get/Set.
Also some generated code like the wrappers for calling C# methods
from C can be private. This will cleanup the introspection results
and warnings when generating documentation.
Due to this visibility change, the binbuf tests had to be changed
to add redirect calls to the native methods instead of directly
calling the DllImport'd methods.
Fix several integer binding type deduction based in its size on C.
Generation for function pointers no longer use modified argument name
which is different from the parameter name.
New generation context for structs.
bool from UnmanagedType.I1 to UnmanagedType.U1 (correct use
inside structs according to mono documentation).
byte (signed char) and int8 now is correctly represented by
sbyte in C#.
Check parameter direction in some out generators in parameter.hh.
Add efl_libs.csv to gitignore.
Make eina.Value pointer constructor public.
Add missing fields to efl.kw_event.Description struct.
Remove eina.File workaround (let struct gen handle it).
Remove is_function_ptr bool from regular_type_def and
add a typedecl_type enum to it. Also add some helper
methods for easier comparison.
Left some test cases commented for when pointer parameters
are properly working.
