The goal would be to replace the smart children list and friends. The
problem is that they differ in content. Smart children and Eo children are
the same, but Elm children and them differ. If I put this function as a
virtual, it would be possible to override the list of children and if we
start using it in Evas render loop, that could result in "weird" behavior.
I have added the use of a simplified Eina_Trash mempool kind of feature
to have some fast path for allocation if we start using it in Evas render
loop.
extn_data_size is not equal to extn_data_off,
current class data size and data offset must be substracted first
elementary_test bubble peak usage goes from 13.7 MiB to 12.5 MiB
- to enable this feature, compile with --with-profile=debug
- the mid tables and tables are write protected after modifications,
you will segfault if you mess with them
- because of mmap PAGE_SIZE alignement and added magic header, almost a
memory page is wasted per table and mid table allocation.
- reducing the number of tables per mid table and the number of entries
per table solves this.
- pack active flag and generation nbr in an _Eo_Id_Entry struct
- replace Eina_Trash with a fifo which lives in mmaped memory owned by eo_id.
- fifo uses indexes instead of pointers to spare memory
- never used entries are served first, then those in the fifo
are reused, thus we ensure that a freed entry won't soon be reused.
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.
use of an array of the below struct instead of 3 separate arrays
leads to better cache performance and smaller memory usage
typedef struct
{
_Eo *ptr;
unsigned int active : 1;
unsigned int generation : BITS_FOR_GENERATION_COUNTER;
} _Eo_Id_Entry;
Summary: This feature replaces Eo pointers with ids to prevent bad usage
or reuse of these pointers. It doesn't change API.
The mechanism uses tables storing the real pointers to the objects.
See the src/lib/eo/eo_ptr_indirection.c file for more details on the
mechanism.
Because of the way eo is dispatching method calls of objects the usual
error log you get if you mix up objects or try to call non-existent
methods is:
ERR<12404>:eo lib/eo/eo.c:362 _eo_dov_internal() Can't find func for op
0x24 (ecore_audio_obj_in:ECORE_AUDIO_OBJ_IN_SUB_ID_SPEED_GET) for class
'ecore_audio_obj_out_pulse'. Aborting.
Of course the problem is not really in lib/eo/eo.c, but in the function
calling eo_do()
Now the macros pass source file and line number on to the _internal
functions so we can log where the error originally happened:
ERR<1938>:eo lib/eo/eo.c:362 _eo_dov_internal() in
lib/ecore_audio/ecore_audio_obj_out_pulse.c:119: Can't find func for op
0x24 (ecore_audio_obj_in:ECORE_AUDIO_OBJ_IN_SUB_ID_SPEED_GET) for class
'ecore_audio_obj_out_pulse'. Aborting.
This makes debugging with eo a lot easier.

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.
It's cleaner. Should have never been a macro. This is part of the effort of
reducing the usage of ({ which is apparently a non standard extension.
We can get rid of most of it and ifdef the rest.
From now, classes implementing the Eo function with id
EO_BASE_SUB_ID_DBG_INFO_GET will be able to show in Clouseau their own
specific information.
Information contents is controlled by the class itself and no more
by Clouseau. Basic types and lists are supported..

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.
SVN revision: 82989
Please check.
note1: Only lib and bin for now, but should be extended to other stuff
note2: distcheck does not work because eo_suite is failing.
