This reverts commit 546ff7bbba.
It seems that eo_del() is useful and removing it was creating bugs.
The issue is that the way we defined parents in eo, both the parent and
the programmer share a reference to the object. When we eo_unref() that
reference as the programmer, eo has no way to know it's this specific
reference we are freeing, and not a general one, so in some
circumstances, for example:
eo_ref(child);
eo_unref(child); // trying to delete here
eo_unref(container); // container is deleted here
eo_unref(child); // child already has 0 refs before this point.
We would have an issue with references and objects being freed too soon
and in general, issue with the references.
Having eo_del() solves that, because this one explicitly unparents if
there is a parent, meaning the reference ownership is explicitly taken
by the programmer.
eo_del() is essentially a convenience function around "check if has
parent, and if so unparent, otherwise, unref". Which should be used when
you want to delete an object although it has a parent, and is equivalent
to eo_unref() when it doesn't have one.
Apparently you can't cast when initializing static consts, even if
the cast is to the same type. This commit splits the macro used
so we have an additional one that casts and thus works with
eo_override().
This change lets you override the functions of objects so that those
functions will be called instead of the functions of the class. This
lets you change objects on the fly and makes using the delegate pattern
easier (no need to create a class every time anymore).
You can see the newly added tests (in this commit) for usage examples.
@feature
We used to have eo_del() as the mirrored action to eo_add(). No longer,
now you just always eo_unref() to delete an object. This change makes it
so the reference of the parent is shared with the reference the
programmer has. So eo_parent_set(obj, NULL) can free an object, and so
does eo_unref() (even if there is a parent).
This means Eo no longer complains if you have a parent during deletion.
This commit breaks behaviour!
Re-parenting no longer detaches composite objects, so watch out.
Now you can have an object be a composite object of an object although
it's not its child. This allows widgets to do things like having an
object as the child of a child object while still making it a composite
object to the main object.
With this change, composite objects don't keep a reference to the child,
but instead composite "bonds" are implicitly removed when either the
parent or the child are destructed.
Summary:
object_find is more generic, so other mechanisms can also reuse the
code.
The object itself has to support the function, so there is no need for
eo_isa which would have a negative performance impact.
The base class implementation calls interface_get on the parent, so a
override of the function can just call the super function to continue in
the recursion.
Test Plan: just run the eo test suite

base class objects will ask their parent object to get the loop. this
means it recurses all objects regardless of type until it finds an
object that returns a proper loop object - eg a loop object returns
itself, a window, gfx/ui object returns the mainloop object etc. etc.
@feature
this finds child objects by walking the child tree searching children
by using the search string which can be name, class:name and both
class and name can also be a glob.
@feature
eina value would allow any value to be attached to an eo object and
also be freed nicely too. this would allow any generic data to go
there without overloading a void * that us c coders love to abuse.
@feature
also useful for debugging and more. this also makes both name/id and
comment an extension blob of ram so objects dont keep growing
boundlessly in memory usage/size
@feature
also evas objects have names too, so add this as this was discussed
and now the feature is in. there is nothing to find objects by name
yet. that's more api's and features to add after this.
@feature
this adds eo_key_obj_set/get/del() like with data but for object
handles so the obj is ref'd as long as the key and parent obj exists
and then unreffed on deletion. it also tracks deletion of reffed
objects like weak refs and then removes the key automatically.
@feature
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.

Imagine this. You have an object. You pass this object handle as a
message to another thread. Let's say it's not a UI object, so
something you might expect to be able to be accessed from multiple
threads. In order to keep the object alive you eo_ref() it when
placing the message on a queue and eo_unref() it once the message is
"done" in the other thread. If the original sender unref()ed the
object before the message is done, then the object will be destroyed
in the reciever thread. This is bad for objects "expecting" not to be
destroyed outside their owning thread.
This allows thius situation to be fixed. A constructor in a class of
an object can set up a delete interceptor. For example if we have a
"loop ownership" class you multi-ple-inherit from/use as a mixin. This
class will set up the interceptor to ensure that on destruction if
pthread_self() != owning loop thread id, then add object to "delete
me" queue on the owning loop and wake it up. the owning loop thread
will wake up and then process this queue and delete the queued objects
nicely and safely within the "owning context".
This can also be used in this same manner to defer deletion within a
loop "until later" in the same delete_me queue.
You can even use this as a caching mechanism for objects to prevernt
their actual destruction and instead place them in a cached area to be
picked from at a later date.
The uses are many for this and this is a basic building block for
future EFL features like generic messages where a message payload
could be an eo object and thus the above loop onwership issue can
happen and needs fixing.
This adds APIs, implementation, documentation (doxy reference) and tests.
@feature
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.
The migration scripts breaks with some weird cases, here I manually
migrated some parts, and just removed the eo_do from others without
actually migrating (so I could deal with that later).
My previous patch to this piece of code
(37f84b7e96), caused a significant
performance regression. This is such a hot path, that even accessing the
strings when we don't have to slows things down drastically. It makes
more sense to just store it in the structure.
This commit breaks ABI (though most people probably won't even need to
recompile anything else because of the memory layout).
It was discussed on IRC and was decided this is a big enough issue to
warrant a fix during the freeze.
@fix
This bug was fixed in d889da6b12, but it was too
late at night to start hacking on extracting a regression test and adding it to
the suite, so adding it now.
This test makes sure that we only fallback to string comparison with legacy
events.
Commit 37f84b7e96 introduced a few changes
to the callback matching mechanism that made it so sometimes callbacks
would be triggered for the wrong events. The problem was there because
of the support for legacy events that forces to do string comparison
instead of the usual pointer comparison. We should only do string
comparison when we are certain one of the callbacks is a legacy
generated one.
Regression tests will follow tomorrow. Way too late here for that.
Thanks to cedric for reporting.
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.
After this change, parent_set assigns a ref, so for example:
obj = eo_add(CLASS, parent); /* Ref is 1 */
eo_do(obj, eo_parent_set(parent2)); /* Ref is 1 */
eo_ref(obj); /* Ref is 2 */
eo_do(obj, eo_parent_set(NULL)); /* Ref is 1, giving the ref to NULL */
eo_do(obj, eo_parent_set(parent)); /* Ref is 1 */
This is following a discussion on the ML about commit
8689d54471.
@feature
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
This is another cleanup in perparation for the Eo stable release.
This is no longer needed thanks to the proper error reporting with
eo_constructor()'s new return value.
The finalizer change cleans it up a bit so it catches more cases/issues.
This also means that the finalizer cleans up the object in all cases,
and not only some.
@feature.
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.
@feature
This is a convenience macro to be used by the common pattern of getting
a part and then immediately calling functions on it. For example,
without this macro, you'd have to write code like:
Eo *part;
eo_do(obj, part = efl_part_name_get("partname"));
eo_do(part, a_set(7));
while using the helper function trims it to:
eo_do_part(obj, efl_part_name_get("partname"), a_set(7));
@feature
This affects eo_do() and eo_add() that used to use the ({}) GCCism.
Following a discussion with Peter de Ridder after my talk at FOSDEM,
we've decided to reopen the GCCism (works with other gcc compatible
compilers like clang and intelc) discussion, and after a bit of back and
forth it was decided to make things more portable, at the cost of ease
of use.
For example:
if (eo_do(obj, visible_get()))
is no longer allowed, the portable alternative
Eina_Bool tmp;
if (eo_do_ret(obj, tmp, visible_get()))
is to be used instead.
However:
eo_do(obj, a = a_get(), b = b_get(), bool_set(!bool_get))
are still allowed and OK.
eo_do(obj, if (a_get()) return;);
is no longer allowed, but:
eo_do(obj, if (a_get()) something());
is still allowed.
For clarity, this commit only incorporates the Eo changes, and not the
EFL changes to make the efl conform with this change.
Thanks again to Peter de Ridder for triggering this important discussion
which led to this change.
For some reason, they were normal functions instead of eo functions,
which makes them harder to bind, less safe, and just wrong.
This commit fixes that.
Before this change eo_add() used to create an object with 1 ref, and if
the object had a parent, a second ref.
Now, eo_add() always returns an object with 1 ref, and eo_add_ref()
preserves the old behaviour (for bindings).
eo_unref now un-parents if refcount is 0, and eo_del() is an alias for
eo_unref (will change to be a way to ensure an object is dead and goes
to zombie-land even if still refed).
This enables checking if an object is being created, or has already been
finalized. This is useful in functions that you want to allow
only during the creation phase (i.e inside the eo_add()).
This function lets you hook at the end of eo_add and override it for a
class. This is essentially the first step towards killing custom
constructors. Instead of having a custom constructor, you should just
do:
eo_add(CLASS, parent, a_set(3), b_set("eou"));
eo_constructor is called at the beginning for pre-init things.
eo_finalize is called at the end, for actually finalizing and doing
things. This cleans up the API and possibly saves a lot of things that
would have been stupid and slow in the past, like loading an elm widget
with an existing theme, and then changing the theme.
** This breaks Eo ABI, please recompile elementary and everything else that
creates eo objects.
@feature
This reverts commit 1714fe93f4.
We actually want this type, it makes things clearer.

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.
These functions let you pass an array of callbacks instead of just one.
It's more memory efficient to use this if you just add a bulk of events
on the same object.
This commits breaks ABI, and breaks API of the EO_EV_CALLBACK_ADD/DEL
signals (the event info passed).
We now need to pass the current class to eo_do_super. This is faster and
more memory efficient and generally lets us do things better.
Using the eo_benchmarks we get ~20% speed-up.
This was stupid from the start, but now it casuse even more issues.
We'll have to just add a configure option to it when the time comes.
