we couldn't have multilpe listeners before. now we can. better this
way. have to do this now because i can't mark efl task as @beta
without taking out massive wads of efl with it.
this also defers parent exit until all children exit and will wait
around looping until those children do report back with exited status
etc. - this meay mean some hangs for badly written/blocking apps that
have efl thrrads that refuse to exit. a slight policy change also
means that by default thread objects also get auto-deleted whent hey
report back exit codes etc. which leads to less code if you don't care
about this.
in the case pipes fail to create we'll close the wrong ones... this
fixes that. it also happens because i didn't use names consistently.
now it does so it's easier to keep right.
thanks coverity.
fix CID 1396994
the call and call sync stuff was almost entirely copy & paste - this
moves all the common code into shared funcs that reduce code bloat. it
also moved from heap to stack for sync reply struct location.
first use consistent ownership (stringshare the strings) and then also
properly dup and pass them and not free null arrays and so on where
they are used
strings often enough are generated e.g. via "%s/%s" or "%i" or similar
etc. ... i have poitned to examples, so move to make all strings
consistently stringshared, fix a bug added to the efl thread code
where it accessed and freed array even tho array was consumed (but not
strings) in the set, and the code used free to consume not
stringshare_del. fix other code and tests to match
EXCTLY the kind of bugs and mistakes with this kind of design that i
said would happen more often just happened...
This reverts commit a57c7f7510.
I pretty much hate to just revert your revert, but you failed to read my
replies, and failed to understand what i was talking about.
And YES we talked at fosdem about the platform issue, and do you
remember my answer, that back in time this might be the case, today is
different freebsd suppoerts setenv, and for windows we have a setenv
implementation in evil. And yes, vtorri also created a issue how bad and
evil this commit is, however, i still fail to see the issue since setenv
unsetenv and clearenv usages are taken as needed. (T7693)
The ownership question is answered in
https://phab.enlightenment.org/D7516#137367.
Can we please get into a state of technical discussions, and not *oh
shit, i am going to revert this* this has been in review for a long
time, a lots of people have tested it, we discussed things on it, and
there was 3 weeks of no reply from you.
The issues that exist will be dealed with. Feel free to create tasks if
you want :)
Revert "ecore: get rid of commands in efl_task."
This reverts commit 616381e9cf.
Revert "ecore: here comes a command line object"
This reverts commit 48e5684b3c.
1. this is broken:
EOLIAN static const char*
_efl_core_command_line_command_get(const Eo *obj EINA_UNUSED, Efl_Core_Command_Line_Data *pd)
{
return eina_strdup(pd->string_command);
}
it returns a const char * BUT it duplicates it on return. no. a big
fat honking NO. return a char * or don't duplicate. pick.
2. _efl_core_command_line_command_array_set() is broken by design. it
accepts an array of strings, but the strings are owned by the caller
who creates the array (requiring they free them up themselves after
this call) but the array becomes owned by the callee. the code here frees the
incoming array but doesn't care about the string content of it. it's
leak heaven waiting to happen (or bugs when someone wants to access
the array they create to walk it to free the strings they put into it
after it is set).
i brought this up and it was dismissed. now exactly he issue i brought
up is there with mixed ownership and the added complexity as well as
transfer of some ownership but not others.
go back and think about this so it isn't broken by design.
Note that the usage in efl_thread.c should and could be removed.
the problem with its usage is that when the ARGUMENTS event is fired,
noone ever had the chance to subscribe to the loop of the thread yet. So
all in all this is unneccessary, since noone could ever touch that.

If you need data, use a efl_future_then as done in every case here to get the same feature.

This reverts commit 9b5155c9f1.
For now lets revert this, this breaks copy and paste, further more it
has the potential to break a lot more things, as eio_model tends to use
efl_loop_promise new, and then eina_promise_data_set, which is
explicitly forbidden.
This fixes crashing terminology instances.
I am not sure this is the right way to do it as binding would have to likely
to bind it manually.

This changes a lot of things all across the EFL. Previously,
methods tagged @const had both their external prototype and
internal impl generated with const on object, while property
getters only had const on the external API. This is now changed
and it all has const everywhere.
Ref T6859.
well call sync returns a void * too.... instead of just void return
(nothing) but this makes it easier to write and maintain code due to
consistency of function callback signatures.
both exe and thread objects must (currently) stay around until the
child thread or exe (task) is done. if you don't do this "bad things
can happen". so produce an error to let the programmer know.
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
