so. on linux signals are delivered to the main process thread/loop.
thats' where signal handlers are set up and always run. this is sane.
it's predicatble. but of course this is not the same in bsd land.
there "just send the signal to any old thread and call the signal
handler there" seems to tbe the order of the day. this explains why
wer are losing sigchld signals in edje_cc - it's heavily threaded and
bsd is just randombly picking a thread to call it on.
this fixes that. in theory. i hope. i can't test, but putting it in to
share
@fix
Being annoyed by different types of eina critical macros - CRI, CRIT,
CRITICAL -, I concluded to unify them to one. Discussed on IRC and
finally, CRI was chosen to meet the consistency with other macros -
ERR, WRN, INF, DBG - in terms of the number of characters.
If there is any missing bits, please let me know.
Change the module infra and allow one to register using the
description structure itself, saves some work.
Replace module_open and module_close with add() and del(), that are
more descriptive.
Move stuff to init/shutdown where it was a better fit.
Since add() now receives the first parameter being the owning
structure we can create one structure per generic player and they will
merge transparently with other modules, then we can use a simple
algorithm that considers the plugin priority. ALL DYNAMIC!
Future work could be done to load the plugin priority specified by
user from configuration file. But this is not in my plans right now.
SVN revision: 82602
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)
