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.
Summary:
This patch adds 'eolian_cxx' -- a C++ bindings generator --
to the EFL tree. Eolian Cxx uses Eolian API to read .eo files and generate
.eo.hh. It relies/depends on Eo Cxx and Eina Cxx (both non-generated
bindings).
src/bin/eolian_cxx: The eolian_cxx program.
src/lib/eolian_cxx: A header-only library that implements the C++ code
generation that binds the .eo classes.
=Examples=
src/examples/eolian_cxx/eolian_cxx_simple_01.cc: The simplest example,
it just uses some "dummy" generated C++ classes.
src/examples/eolian_cxx/eolian_cxx_inherit_01.cc: Illustrates how
pure C++ classes inherit from .eo generated classes.
src/examples/evas/evas_cxx_rectangle.cc: More realistic example using
the generated bindings Evas Cxx. Still a bit shallow because we don't
have full fledged .eo descriptions yet, but will be improved.
=Important=
The generated code is not supported and not a stable API/ABI. It is
here to gather people interest and get review before we set things in
stone for release 1.11.
