this adds a simple indata and outdata void ptr to begin that you can
set on efl.thread objects (set the indata) and get the outdata too to
get results. then on the efl.appthread side the indata is set on the
efl.appthread before it runs and on quit the thresad can set the
outdata on the appthread, and this appears back on the efl.thread
object in the parent thread.
so you can basically share pointers to anything in and out this way on
start/exit in addition to string args etc.
the reason i made it an extra class (mixin actually) is for future
expansion. sharing more complex data - eina values maybe or objects as
long as they are shared objects, and perhaps acting as an interface
for calling a function at the other end like ecore_thread_async_call
etc.
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

Go back to before efl.app because I think this should be done with
superclassing here not a parent object. reasons?
1. multiple loops per single thread make no sense. so if multilpe loop
objects they wont be contained in a single app object and then deleted
like this.
2. the app object is not really sharable in this design so it cant be
accessed from other threads
3. it makes it harder to get the main loop or app object (well 2 func
calls one calling the other and more typing. it is longer to type and
more work where it is not necessary, and again it can't work from
other threads unless we go duplicating efl.app per thread and then
what is the point of splittyign out the signal events from efl.loop
then?)
etc.
this moves existing tests out of the ecore suite and into a new one,
adds some checks to verify loop object parenting, and verifies compile
for Efl_Core.h and Efl_Net.h using EFL_NOLEGACY_API_SUPPORT
this is astart of the work for having a common task class/interface
between loops, threads ane exe's so the i/o is all symmetric and works
the same way between all of them as well as similarly for launching
and knowing when the exit etc. etc.
this is not final and not perfect, but it's a start. comments of
course welcome
also eina_procmis was not threadsafe so cannto use loops in different
threads at all until this was made safe. needed to disable the old
ecore_event using code in for ecore futures and create a new efl loop
message future and handler instead ... but now a quick experiment with
multiple loops in 10 threads plus mainloop have timers at least work.
i need to test more like fd handlers etc etc. but it's a step.
we really should have data inside the loop object, so begin moving it
one small thing at a time. this is the basics that will allow multiple
efl loops. make an eo efl object and class for fd handlers that is efl loop
bound make fd handlers really bound to their parent loop and not global as
well as have a nice class/obj. create an message queue per loop and
put legacy ecore events on top of it... and a lot more.
this is not 100% done, but it's a lot of the core and groundwork.
various ecore_timer_add(), ecore_diler_add() etc. need changes.
The following still need doing:
ecore_timer (internal usage for sure)
ecore_idler (internal usage for sure)
ecore_idle_enterer
ecore_idle_exiter
ecore_pollers? (is the new efl loop stuff ok?)
ecore_exe (fork/spawn from any thread and track exe from that thread?)
ecore_signal code
ecore_throttle (should we have a single global too? we have per loop)
ecore_app ? (should every loop be given its own argv/argc?)
Lots of internal ecore code uses/calls these legacy calls and we
should have efl loop replacements and/or use the ones we have
The following will bedifferently designed for loop to loop
control/messaging/ipc:
ecore_thread
ecore_pipe
This make EFL_MAIN available and working with just Ecore. For simplicity
it is available with Efl_Core.h. Ideally it should also work with Efl_Net.h
alone and finally with an Efl_Ui.h.

Efl.Interpolator class is to interpolate a value.
Efl.Interpolator class has the following interpolation function classes
as its subclasses.
Efl.Interpolator.Linear
Efl.Interpolator.Accelerate
Efl.Interpolator.Decelerate
Efl.Interpolator.Sinusoidal
Efl.Interpolator.Divisor
Efl.Interpolator.Bounce
Efl.Interpolator.Spring
Efl.Interpolator.Cubic_Bezier
In commit df9f2e0772 this new header file
was introduced but it was missing from this list and thus never made it
into the dist.
I have to say I look forward to a future where a git based dist
handling, like meson does, replaces the tiresome approach of keeping the
list up to date.
This moves one enum from EO to legacy only (Ecore_Pos_Map).
Ideally the type should be in Ecore_Legacy and no Common, that
can be done later.

Add Efl.Model.Composite.Boolean, a model for wrapping another Efl.Model and
adding boolean properties to its children.
Children of the given composite model will have the boolean properties
specified in Efl.Model.Composite.Boolean with the specified default value.
A call to Efl.Model.Property_set can change the property value for a child.

Efl.Model.Container and Efl.Model.Item to efl/interfaces are used
to create Efl.Model objects with predefined property values.
This is useful to any situation where we want an Efl.Model with
explicit defined property values.
Efl.Ui.View and Efl.Ui.Factory are used to connect Efl.Models with
Widgets, Elm.Layout and Efl.Ui.Image has changed to use news interfaces

Since all other efl.io objects are low-level, the recommended approach
is to use an efl.io.copier. However when dealing with in-memory,
bi-directional comms like talking to a socket, we always end with 2
queues, 2 copiers and the annoying setup that is being replicated in
ecore_ipc, efl_debug and so on.
This class is the base to make it simpler. Other classes such as
Efl.Net.Socket.Simple, Efl.Net.Dialer.Simple and Efl.Net.Server.Simple
will use it to provide simpler code to users.
I guess we can call EFL+EO Java now?
These interfaces allows generic operations on objects that can store
or provide data, such as a file or a buffer.
With well defined interfaces and events we can create code such as
Efl.Io.Copier, that will link a source with a destination and
progressively copy data as they appear.
We hit another argument too long error with CLEANFILES. Moving the generated
files for js and lua into separated variables and cleaning them manually fixes
the issue.
This is again to avoid the "Argument list too long" error we are hitting more and
more now. Given we just merged elementary, emotion generic players, evas generic
loaders and elm_code it is not surprising we are hitting it again.
This time the number of files being hold in DISTFILES has just grown to big so a
make dist was no longer possible. If one looks at what the DISTFILES variable
from automake holds you can image it grows a lot with all the source files plus
generated files we have in tree now.
DISTFILES = $(DIST_COMMON) $(DIST_SOURCES) $(TEXINFOS) $(EXTRA_DIST)
To cut off a big chunk but still keep all the other automagic in place for
SOURCE files I went and renamed the EXTRA_DIST in src/ to EXTRA_DIST2 and handle
the files in a dist-hook now.
Another thing to note here is that this also only happens as we have the one big
Makefile with includes. If we go back to per directory Makefiles this problem
should vanish as well. In any case we need a solution for 1.18 now and this is
what I have to offer. If you have a cleaner solution in mind feel welcome to
test it out and if everything we need keeps working (make, make examples,
make check, make benchmark, make dist and make distcheck) go ahead.
As we add more object in the main loop, they can't live in the top
namespace as they make little sense there (Efl.Fd !). For coherence,
everyone should in the loop namespace, so move timer there.
