Summary:
Patch from a series of patches to rename EAPI symbols to specific
library DSOs.
= The Rationale =
This patch is from a series of patches to rename EAPI symbols to
specific library DSOs.
EAPI was designed to be able to pass
`__attribute__ ((visibility ("default")))` for symbols with
GCC, which would mean that even if -fvisibility=hidden was used
when compiling the library, the needed symbols would get exported.
MSVC __almost__ works like GCC (or mingw) in which you can
declare everything as export and it will just work (slower, but
it will work). But there's a caveat: global variables will not
work the same way for MSVC, but works for mingw and GCC.
For global variables (as opposed to functions), MSVC requires
correct DSO visibility for MSVC: instead of declaring a symbol as
export for everything, you need to declare it as import when
importing from another DSO and export when defining it locally.
With current EAPI definitions, we get the following example
working in mingw and MSVC (observe it doesn't define any global
variables as exported symbols).
Example 1:
dll1:
```
EAPI void foo(void);
EAPI void bar()
{
foo();
}
```
dll2:
```
EAPI void foo()
{
printf ("foo\n");
}
```
This works fine with API defined as __declspec(dllexport) in both
cases and for gcc defining as
`__atttribute__((visibility("default")))`.
However, the following:
Example 2:
dll1:
```
EAPI extern int foo;
EAPI void foobar(void);
EAPI void bar()
{
foo = 5;
foobar();
}
```
dll2:
```
EAPI int foo = 0;
EAPI void foobar()
{
printf ("foo %d\n", foo);
}
```
This will work on mingw but will not work for MSVC. And that's why
LIBAPI is the only solution that works for MSVC.

if this is set to 0 the next iteration in the upper frame event would
decrement the 0 again leading to a overflow making the iteration and
callback array overflow.
Long story short: set ifx to 1 to prevent overflow, test added.

As in the previous commit explained, we want to get rid of class
functions in eo, and make them just c functions right away.
This commit removes the class parameter from the eo_class_function_set
call, and adjusts the tests to not depend on class functions anymore.
Class functions are now not tested anymore, tests that used them as a
way to test *things* are adjusted to test them now with object
functions, tests that just tested the working of class functions are
dropped.
This fixes T7675.

Until this commit eo did class functions as part of the vtable, which
enabled those functions to be overwritten in classes inheriting another
class. However in task T7675 we decided that this is not really good for
bindings, as most OOP languages do not support this sort of feature.
After this commit eolian realizes class function completly outside of
the vtable, the c-symbol that is the class funciton is now just directly
redirecting to a implementation, without the involvement of the vtable.
This also means a change to the syntax created by eo:
Calling before:
class_function(CLASS_A);
Calling after:
class_function();
Implementation before:
class_function(const Eo *obj, void *pd) { ... }
Implementation after:
class_function(void) { ... }
This fixes T7675.

This build was never complete and also was not maintained probebly.
It is also dropped in favour of meson which is cool, merged, works & is fast.

a new shiny buildtool that currently completes in the total of ~ 4 min..
1 min. conf time
2:30 min. build time
Where autotools takes:
1:50 min. conf time
3:40 min. build time.
meson was taken because it went quite good for enlightenment, and is a traction gaining system that is also used by other mayor projects. Additionally, the DSL that is defined my meson makes the configuration of the builds a lot easier to read.
Further informations can be gathered from the README.meson
Right now, bindings & windows support are missing.
It is highly recommented to use meson 0.48 due to optimizations in meson
that reduced the time the meson call would need.

Depends on D7011
so the MAIN loop is actually an efl.app object. which inherits from
efl.loop. the idea is that other loops in threads will not be efl.app
objects. thread on the creator side return an efl.thread object.
inside the thread, like the mainloop, there is now an efl.appthread
object that is for all non-main-loop threads.
every thread (main loop or child) when it spawns a thread is the
parent. there are i/o pipes from parnet to child and back. so parents
are generally expected to, if they want to talk to child thread, so
use the efl.io interfaces on efl.thread, and the main loop's elf.app
class allows you to talk to stdio back to the parent process like the
efl.appthread does the same using the efl.io interfaces to talk to its
parent app or appthread. it's symmetrical
no tests here - sure. i have been holding off on tests until things
settle. that's why i haven't done them yet. those will come back in a
subsequent commit

This change lets us remove a field from the structure that leads to
around 20KiB more of saving in private dirty pages in elementary.
This also looks a bit better and feels a bit cleaner.
Breaks API and ABI.
Before this commit, function overrides were explicit. That is, you'd
have to explicitly state you were overriding a function instead of
creating a new one. This made the code a tad more complex, and was also
a bit more annoying to use. This commit removes this extra piece of
information.
This means we now store much less information per function, that will
let us further optimise out structures in the future.
Efl.Object.event_callback_call no longer calls legacy smart callbacks;
calling only event callbacks registered with the given event description
pointer.
Create the method Efl.Object.event_callback_legacy_call to inherit the old
behavior from Efl.Object.event_callback_call, calling both Efl.Object events
and legacy smart callbacks.
Update all other files accordingly in order to still supply legacy
callbacks while they are necessary.
This was never used and there is no plan to ever use it. I'm going to
soon add a different mechanism with which it will be possible to provide
them again to Eo if ever needed without breaking ABI. Though it's
unlikely it will ever be.
Previously events used to use class name as a prefix and ignored eo_prefix
when specified. This is no longer the case. Events follow eo_prefix by default
now. In order to get around this for classes where this is undesirable, a new
field event_prefix was added which takes priority over eo_prefix. If neither
is specified, class name is used like previously.

Modify the way hooks are defined and used by promise generation in
Eolian in the Eo API.
Instead of passing macro names as parameters to EO_FUNC_BODY macros,
just re-define the actual hooks when it is needed.
Add two parameters for macros that generate API functions in Eo so
that the generation can be customized with macros used by Eolian.

Mostly unused vars following the removal of eo_do_ret().
However, there are some cases where the migration script got some things
wrong, and I had to manually fix them.
I just ran my script (email to follow) to migrate all of the EFL
automatically. This commit is *only* the automatic conversion, so it can
be easily reverted and re-run.
This example of code is a perfect demonstration of why we should have make
this events @hot from the beginning. As you can see, we ended up being unable
to detect reliably callback being registered and unregistered. Leading to an
negative accounting of callback being unregistered, making this signal unusable
in any scenario.
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.
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
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.
