eolian_cxx tests failed to link because of massively inexistant symbols.
I assume eolian_cxx tests have been working at some point. Maybe they
were gcc-only? I don't get what's going on with gcc and non-existant
symbols. Is there a sugar-coating of some kind? Because when a symbol
does not exist, clang throws you away. Is it because we are only
referring to the eo implementation functions via function pointers?
That's the second time I'm doing a fix like this. Maybe we should change
a bit our linking flags (see --unresolved-symbols in ld)??
Anyway, now we have our symbols. Clang is happy, make check can go on...
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 lets me narrow down the remaining cases of pointers across the EFL.
The void pointers will later need to be reevaluated on per-case basis and
replaced appropriately where possible/feasible.
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.
@feature
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.
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
Instead of "@in type name;" we now use "@in name: type;". This change
is done because of consistency with the rest of Eolian; pretty much
every other part of Eolian syntax uses the latter form.
This is a big breaking change in the .eo format, so please update your
.eo files accordingly and compile Elementary together with the EFL.
@feature
Added optional constructor methods for C++ Eolian wrappers.
Changed the interface of wrappers' main constructors.
If there are optional constructor methods they should be passed as variadic
template argument at the end of the constructor.
To support variadic template arguments, the optional "parent" parameter is
now the first parameter and there is another constructor without the
"parent" parameter.
Checking for @optinal and @nullable attributes instead of @nonull.
Now @nonull is the default, and eina::optional is only used when @optional
or @nullable attribute is specified.
The names of constructor methods no longer have the class name prefixed.
Added unit tests for checking the binding of optional constructors.
Added new .eo file to be used in the test.
Changed the generated documentation of constructors.
Changed the efl::eo::inherit accordingly, to address these new features.
Now the constructor methods should be explicit called in the
efl::eo::inherit constructor, which will receive them via variadic
template arguments.
Added another constructor to efl::eo::inherit for passing the parent
object.
Updated some tests and examples to follow the new interface.
Removed some code that is no longer necessary.
Also, fix Eolian C++ support for constructing properties. fix
assertion when parsing constructing properties.
Now if a property is a constructing property eolian_cxx will generate a
constructor method that have the property name (without the "_set" suffix).
Fixed crash when disconnecting event inside of its own event callback.
Instead of deleting the callback object immediately during disconnection
(which causes the callback to be freed), the deletion is now scheduled
for later (using ecore_main_loop_thread_safe_call_async).
Updated some Makefiles to proper include ecore now that it is used in
all event wrappers.
Added a unit test to verify crashes under these circumstances.
Using eina::string_view in eolian generated interfaces (instead of
std::string) to allow lightweight passing of both C strings and C++
std::string.
Also, No longer using eina::optional in generated headers for types
that already implements the concept of null state (like Eo wrappers
and eina_accessor).
Also fix allocating callback objects require by class methods
(i.e. static) in static vectors so the memory will be freed when the
programs exit.
Added a new test case for testing callbacks on class methods.
Moved method definitions and supplementary code from generated C++
wrappers to auxiliary header file (.eo.impl.hh) generated together
with the main ".eo.hh" file. Updated Makefiles to list such files in
the compilation and cleanup processes. Updated .gitignore to include
these new generated files.
Made general adjustments on the documentation of generated C++ wrappers
Added "PREDEFINED" preprocessor macro definition in the Doxyfile.in in
order to make some adjustments for better documentation in the C++
generated headers. Excluding generation of documentation for classes
in the "eo_cxx" namespace (the namespace for "abstract" eolian C++
wrappers). Now generating the documentation for the events too.
Hiding some auxiliary code from being documented. Some aesthetic
adjustments for generated white space. Generate documentation for the
main constructor of C++ wrappers and added auxiliary grammars to list
parameters names.
Updated the code for the "inheritance helper" functions and classes
to be in conformance with the new wrapper architecture.
Member variable "parents" of efl::eo::eo_class struct was split in two
member variables, "ancestors" and "parents", the former containing all
Eo class ancestors and the later only the direct bases.
Changed all required files accordingly.
Check to avoid using biding string when the parameter is @out now matches
any variation of "char".
Add default constructor to efl::eo::concrete in order to allow it to be
NULL initialized in the "inheritance helper" classes.
Removed conflicting parent_set member function in the efl::eo::inherit
class.
Removed the "inheritance_extension_function" generator since it is no
longer used.
Overloaded address-of operator for C++ Eolian wrappers for implicit converting
to any ancestor pointer type when getting the object memory address.
Added new grammars to aid the creation of the pointer wrappers
responsible of doing the implicit conversions.
Added a unit test which checks the address-of overload for arbitrary classes.
Added new .eo files to be used in it.
Using a new architecture in the generated files that simplify multiple
inheritance and allows the use of interface types as parameters.
No longer using a hand-crafted C++ header for eo_base.eo.
This file was added to the generation process.
Updated all files that are dependent in the hand-crafted eo_base
C++ header.
Now there is a class that contains the essentials functions of the former
eo::base wrapper and that is used to create (through inheritance) the
"concrete" classes for all Eo generated wrappers.
No longer binding any function or property that are protected, private or
legacy for now.
eolian_type_instance is now a struct with general information for the
whole type.
Added the new header file namespace_generator.hh to hold namespace
generation grammars.
Separated declaration and definition of Eo wrappers methods.
Referring for most objects by its full name (starting at the global
namespace ::) in the generated files.
Created additional helper grammars to avoid code replication.
Removed a TODO comment referring to a doubt about inheritance of
constructor methods.
Added a TODO comment regarding memory allocation for callbacks in static
member functions.
In convert.cc: Reading functions instead of implements to convert the
Eolian_Class. It avoids creation of methods that do not belong to the
class, in special it avoids calling the default constructor twice in the
generated code.
No longer generating one constructor in the C++ wrapper for each eolian
class constructor, since the correct behavior demands that all constructor
should be called. Now the wrappers have "constructor methods" that
must be called when creating a new object.
Updated test cases and examples to match the new interface. Some class
constructors and some test cases have to be removed since they were based
on the wrong assumption that constructors are mutually exclusive.
Created new generators for forwarding parameters and for looping over
the relevant parameters to the C++ wrapper executing a generic lambda.
Added a TODO comment regarding the call of constructor methods of all
base classes. Currently there is no base type with constructors, so this
situation should be discussed more.
Added a TODO comment regarding the way callback parameters are being
processed.
Added static assertion in the generated header to ensure that the wrapper
have the same size of Eo*, thus grating compatibility between these types.
Added static assertion in the generated header to ensure that the wrapper
have standard layout. This should ensure correct type sizes when dealing
with inheritance.
Created a test to ensure that eo::base and the eolian wrappers have the
same size of a Eo*.
Added eolian_cxx_test_wrapper.cc to the list of test source files in
Makefile_Eolian_Cxx.am.
