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.
This is now longer needed now that we switched to git. And it should
also silent all the file modified problems.
The next time this file is listed as modified you should either have
done it yourself or added an image in the efl docs img folder.
This breaks out of tree builds (buildbot) as well as setups without .svn
dirs (git-svn). The newly generated list should include all files but
drops all the entries from .svn.

This one was a painful bitch. The edbus2 port was quite broken, mainly
leaking eina_stringshare and also not adding the '\0' to the strings
that are represented as bytearray (paths cannot be utf8 to avoid
translations).
Emotion plugin was also quite bogus and the video thumbnail as edje
(animated) is not working yet due bug in Edje_Edit api -- someone
needs to investigate this, seems strange.
Emotion plugin also had a bug that it was deleting the object from
inside object callback.
Now it seems to work. Please report if it does not.

this one was quite a huge work, but hopefully it's correct.
NOTES:
* removed vlc generic module, it should go into a separate package.
* gstreamer is enabled by default (see --disable-gstreamer)
* xine is disabled by default (see --enable-gstreamer)
* generic is always built statically if supported
* gstreamer and xine can't be configured as static (just lacks command line options, build system supports it)
* v4l2 is enabled by default on linux if eeze is built (see --disable-v4l2)
* emotion_test moved to src/tests/emotion and depends on EFL_ENABLE_TESTS (--with-tests), but is still installed if enabled.
TODO (need your help!):
* fix warnings with gstreamer and xine engine
* call engine shutdown functions if building as static
* remove direct usage of PACKAGE_*_DIR and use eina_prefix
* add eina_prefix checkme file as evas and others
* add support for $EFL_RUN_IN_TREE
* create separate package for emotion_generic_modules
* check docs hierarchy (doxygen is segv'in here)
SVN revision: 82501
Carefully compared 'svn export' and 'make dist' results and couple of
files were missing.
Changes:
* Makefile.am: removed all .pc from EXTRA_DIST, we shouldn't
distribute them here as they will contain ./configure data such as
install location.
* src/Makefile.am: moved all if-endif to files, otherwise EXTRA_DIST
won't work properly. We must EXTRA_DIST outside of the if-endif
block.
* static_libs/liblinebreak: removed couple of unused files.

this is still in progress, mostly the multisense stuff is pending.
it seems that when we merge ecore_audio in edje the libremix and
similar are gone, at least from Edje, and will be in ecore_audio
itself (or pulseaudio).
Changes:
* __UNUSED__ to EINA_UNUSED
* binaries (epp, embryo_cc, edje_cc) now consider EFL_RUN_IN_TREE and
will assume the binaries are still not installed, running from
build tree location (needs more testing, maybe doesn't work with
srcdir != builddir, still doesn't solve cross compile builds)
SVN revision: 82139
Changes also in this commit:
* fix missing EAPI in symbols used by modules
* removed old libudev and libmount support as agreed by discomfitor/zmike
* replaced __UNUSED__ with EINA_UNUSED
* fixed docs hierarchy

prevent eventual bugs.
Feel free to ask, comment, modify this tutorial.
