To configure efl sources with bindings to use in nodejs add ––with-js=nodejs in configure flags to generate node files
$ configure --with-js=nodejs
and compile normally with:
$ make
$ make install
To use, you have to require efl:
efl = require('efl')
The bindings is divided in two parts: generated and manually
written. The generation uses the Eolian library for parsing Eo files
and generate C++ code that is compiled against V8 interpreter library
to create a efl.node file that can be required in a node.js instance.

Summary:
Ecore_Buffer is abstraction of graphic buffer.
it supports backend of shm, x11_dri2 and x11_dri3 for now,
and this library also provides method to share buffers between processes.
Ecore_Buffer_Provider and Ecore_Buffer_Consumer is for this, sharing buffer.
provider draws something in to Ecore_Buffer, and consumer receives and displays it.
the binary, bq_mgr is a connection maker for buffer provider and consumer.
it can be included Enlightenment as a deamon later.
@feature
Test Plan:
1. Configure with --enable-ecore-buffer and --enable-always-build-examples to build examples.
2. Run bq_mgr, it connects consumer and provider.
3. Run ecore_buffer_provider_example and ecore_buffer_consumer_example

Idea for this library is to become a retained mode drawing library that use
Eo/Eolian for its API and take a lot of the good design from Enesim by
Jorge Zapata and Jose Gonzalez (http://enesim.org/).
The intent of Emile is to be the common layer for serialisation, compression
and ciphering. It will expose the library we currently use internally to an
easier use from the outside (like gcrypt and lz4). It should improve portability.
Instead of pushing JSON, XML and what's not to Eina, I do think that they will
fit better in Emile.
As for the naming of Emile, you will need to be French and say :
"Un quoi ?" "Un serializer !"
Regarding why it is put there in the stack. Right now there is two users of
compression (eet and terminology), two users of cipher library (eet and ecore_con)
and a few handful of user for serialization (eina, eet, efreet, ecore_con, ...).
So the choice was quite simple, it needed to be below Eet. Now it could have been
on top of Eo or integrated into Eina.
One of the use case I am thinking of, is to compress Eo object when a canvas get
hidden/minized. For that it require Eo to use that library and it can't be a higher
level object. And with current implementation of Eo it is perfectly possible to
implement such idea. So not at Eo level.
As for Eina, I am starting to think it is getting to much things in its namespace.
I do believe that infact Eina_Simple_XML and Eina_File should after all have landed
in their own library. That's why I am putting the current logic in a new library.
It is going to expand, I want it to provide an few SAX like parser for JSON,
Eet_Data and protobuf with also an API like Eet_Data to directly feed those value
into a C structure without using a DOM at all. It would also be the right place
to experiment and benchmark for a new Eet_Data format that could be more efficient
to use.
So at the end, and due to how I see things going and being used, I do think it
is better of in its own library.
Summary:
Fixed distcheck for Eolian C++. Made the generated files as
nodist so it doesn't get picked up for generation way too
early.

Summary:
This patch adds 'eolian_cxx' -- a C++ bindings generator --
to the EFL tree. Eolian Cxx uses Eolian API to read .eo files and generate
.eo.hh. It relies/depends on Eo Cxx and Eina Cxx (both non-generated
bindings).
src/bin/eolian_cxx: The eolian_cxx program.
src/lib/eolian_cxx: A header-only library that implements the C++ code
generation that binds the .eo classes.
=Examples=
src/examples/eolian_cxx/eolian_cxx_simple_01.cc: The simplest example,
it just uses some "dummy" generated C++ classes.
src/examples/eolian_cxx/eolian_cxx_inherit_01.cc: Illustrates how
pure C++ classes inherit from .eo generated classes.
src/examples/evas/evas_cxx_rectangle.cc: More realistic example using
the generated bindings Evas Cxx. Still a bit shallow because we don't
have full fledged .eo descriptions yet, but will be improved.
=Important=
The generated code is not supported and not a stable API/ABI. It is
here to gather people interest and get review before we set things in
stone for release 1.11.

The goal of this library is to make the life of C++ developers easier
when having to manipulate Eina datatype by providing a layer to abstract
those data type in C++. Check examples for now. Documentation will come
soon, but we are pushing that rather sooner to get feedback on those bindings.
As you will notice, this library is just composed of headers. There is no .so
and we do think it is better this way. Reducing ABI and API stability issue for
applications developers who are the primary target of this binding.
Also please note that you will need to have C++11 to use this binding.
