Summary:
eina.Value.Empty now means that we have an zeroed (empty) eina value.
For optional values that are empty use eina.Value.OptionalEmpty.
This was required to support the empty values passed with
EINA_VALUE_EMPTY in some Ecore futures.
Also, returning an eina_value by value is not supported in eolian
for safety reasons, so we removed some tests that tried to use this
behavior.

Summary:
Due to the absence of typedef from C#, we generate thin structs with
implicit operators to allow reference the data from their typedef'd name
from C#.
The other alternatives would be always converting to the lowest base on
the alias stack (losing the meaningfulness of the typedef name) or using
the 'using' directive. The latter has the restriction that it makes an
alias visible only in the file they are declared.

Summary:
Now the generated classes use an approach more familiar to C#
developers:
Interfaces: efl.Object -> efl.IObject
Concrete (implementation) classes: efl.ObjectConcrete -> efl.Object.
During this change, some methods that could clash with the
implementation class name (CS0542) had the prefix "Do" added (like in
efl.Duplicate.Duplicate() and efl.Pack.Pack()).

Summary:
Also added a blacklist header to temporarily disable generation of eo
methods with futures as arguments or return type.
Once the models branch lands, we should enable future support again with
eina_futures.

Doc refs no longer introduce new dependencies into files. Instead,
they're parsed globally, and any doc ref lookup is also made
globally. This allows unit based dependencies to correspond more
to what files actually really need at compile time/runtime, with
docs being irrelevant to that; it also simplifies the API.
The doc resolution API now takes Eolian_State instead of
Eolian_Unit, too.
When we have an eina.Value_Native (representing an Eina_Value passed by
value) and assign it to an eina.Value (a class with an IntPtr to an
underlying Eina_Value) we copy it so the eina.Value can take ownership
and free the data normally.
A possibly better alternative would be adding an extra flag to
eina.Value (something like OwnsPointer) to check whether we should free
the struct we point to or not.
When transferring the ownership of a ptr(struct) from Unamanaged to
managed, we should marshal the reference-typed fields or they can point
to Managed memory that would make no sense to access from C (for
example, strings would return garbage).
The downside is that it can cause potential leaks if the receiver of the
memory do not free it. In the current state of the EFL api this can
happen in two places:
- Efl.Ui.List.SegArray::remove
return -> ptr(Efl.Ui.List.LayoutItem) @owned
- Efl.Ui.Focus.Manager::fetch
return -> ptr(Efl.Ui.Focus.Relations) @owned
The resources copied by both structs may leak when those functions are
overriden in C# and the values returned to the C code.
Also hide some internal stuff instead of exporting it and generate
implicit conversion operators for struct external/internal.
Added support for Eolian_Object, made other luaified types
"inherited" from Eolian_Object, removed type-specific file_get
as it was replaced by Object's file_get, declarations API still

This reverts commit 28fe00b94e.
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.
As it is no longer necessary to pass unit when evaluating exprs,
it is not necessary to pass it here either. Convert all the APIs
to the new style and update all instances in our tree.
This commit adds the "documentation" generator, which gets the
documentation_def attribute of the given item and generates xml comments
to be exported by MCS.
For items requiring some customization of the generated comments (e.g.
functions and its parameters), the helpers to generate the preamble
(summary), body (paragraphs) and epilogue (currently just the @since
tag) were added.
Currently we do not support converting Eolian references into xmldoc
references.
As we explicitly generate Get/Set methods for properties, for now the
generator tries to get the get/set specific documentation first. If it
is not present, fallback to the common docs.
Later this could be changed to generate the common one as paragraphs of
the Get/Set.
Also some generated code like the wrappers for calling C# methods
from C can be private. This will cleanup the introspection results
and warnings when generating documentation.
Due to this visibility change, the binbuf tests had to be changed
to add redirect calls to the native methods instead of directly
calling the DllImport'd methods.
Fix several integer binding type deduction based in its size on C.
Generation for function pointers no longer use modified argument name
which is different from the parameter name.
New generation context for structs.
bool from UnmanagedType.I1 to UnmanagedType.U1 (correct use
inside structs according to mono documentation).
byte (signed char) and int8 now is correctly represented by
sbyte in C#.
Check parameter direction in some out generators in parameter.hh.
Add efl_libs.csv to gitignore.
Make eina.Value pointer constructor public.
Add missing fields to efl.kw_event.Description struct.
Remove eina.File workaround (let struct gen handle it).
Remove is_function_ptr bool from regular_type_def and
add a typedecl_type enum to it. Also add some helper
methods for easier comparison.
Left some test cases commented for when pointer parameters
are properly working.
This API is meant to be used by parts only, and by bindings dealing with
part objects. This patch fixes make check which got broken in the after
the previous one (cxx).
This is really just calling efl_del() and detaching the internal pointer
from the C++ object. This will not affect other references, which means
after del the object may still be alive, probably without a parent.
This prevents generation of del().
I also removed constructor, finalize and destructor as I believe this
requires special work with eo_inherit (where did this work go??).
I'll hide some controversial features behind this, until we come to an
agreement with @felipealmeida and people who actually know C++ (iow: not
just me^^).
Features protected:
- easy wref (using -> without locking)
- xxx_event_cb_add() functions in object classes
- instantiate(obj) to create a new object
- add as a synonym for instantiate (both in efl::eo)
I think some concepts are not handled properly in this set of classes.
I'll do some more experiments to see if I can find a working solution,
but I think we need 3 variants of eina_value, instead of just the two
provided.
This still uses the instantiate object but provides a more convenient
syntax for objects declared before their creation (eg. a global win).
Note: I wonder if we shouldn't rename instantiate to add. It would be
closer to EFL API's while being much much easier to type.
Instead of messing around with varargs, create individual wrappers for
each type supported.
The va_list approach was getting problems with float/double on Windows.
On instantiation objects get either one or two refs:
- with a parent, they will have 2 refs, one for C++, one for the
parent.
- without a parent, they get a single ref, the one for C++
This will break the existing C++ examples, which I will fix in later
patches.
Note that the window is a strange object which can be created with no
parent but internally reparents itself to an object it creates (oh so
ugly).
I hid it behind ifdef for now as I'm very much unsure of what I'm doing.
This whole modern C++ thing is still weird to me :)
Prerequisite:
#define EFL_CXX_WREF_EASY
This allows constructs such as:
auto wobj = obj._get_wref();
std::cout << wobj->text_get() << std::endl;
Most of the time you need to retrieve the class from the string
anyway, so remove this relic of old Eolian and gain some small
performance benefits and extra convenience.
Subtly breaks API but everything should be updated.
These types are of questionable value and the API was not entirely
thought out - remove for now, and if a legitimate use is found
later, they may be readded (with a better API), but typically it
seems best to redesign the bad APIs around safe containers...
This allows us to unify retrieval of docs for both regular and
overridden funcs without having two separate APIs. It's currently
missing validation and docgen is still not adjusted properly for
it either, but at least there's this. Enables retrieval of docs
for overridden funcs by default as well.
As there is no need to have separate is_auto, is_empty and
is_pure_virtual for functions and implements (each function has
its own base implement by default) I removed the function ones.
Instead, I added a way to retrieve a function's base implement
so that you can instead do the checks on the implement even when
you only have the function.
I also moved base implement build directly into the parser instead
of the database filler. That allows for significant cleanup. I
also removed distinction of implement pointers in Eolian_Function
for get and set as implements now always contain an entire thing
so the pointer was always the same anyway.
Things should still behave more or less the same, but ordering
of generated functions has changed because ordering of implements
has changed.
Previously one API used just virtual (incorrect) and one used
virtual_pure (which just sounds weird). So unify with a single
name, pure_virtual, similar as in other lanugages.
This does not change eo file syntax yet.
Now all error/unknown/etc values returned from APIs are zero,
previously it was a mix of zeroes and minus ones. Also, some
enums that had no error/invalid value before have one now, which
allows for better distinction between what is an error and what
is an intended result.
visit_unsafe member function visits the variant but assumes the
pre-condition that the variant is not empty. This avoids the
possibility of throwing an exception when the destructors
of the types used in variant are also guaranteed to be
noexcept.

This removes EO APIs related to an unmaintained client/server
model for applications. The reasons for this removal are the
following:
- unused
- no support in E
- relies on dbus as the sole transport layer
- unmaintained since the original patches
- only EO API (iow: beta, never released API)
I've also never seen the test cases (in elementary_test) actually
work.
According to Gustavo (k-s), the original author of this feature
is not involved in EFL at the moment, and unlikely to be in the
near future.
Note that terminology has in the past used those APIs when it
was still using some beta EO APIs. This code is now long gone,
removed in terminology commit 3ffcbadd6f9881472db6 (2014/12/13,
for version 0.8.0)
If someone wants to step in and maintain the implementation,
protocol and (EO) API, then feel free to revert this patch
and revive the feature. But it will need to be more solid than
this implementation.
