We don't really need the eo_id most of the time, and when we do, it's
very easy to get it. It's better if we just don't save the eo_id on the
stack, and just save if it's an object or a class instead.
It seems that the idea behind that optimisation, is to save object data
fetching when calling functions implemented by the object's class inside
functions implemented by the object's class. This should be rare enough
not to worth the upkeep, memory reads and memory writes, especially
since for all cases apart of mixins (for which this optimisation won't
work for anyway), the upkeep is more costly than fetching the data
again.
with eo id indirection on, a nul object is silently ignored as anok
error case (like free(NULL)). but if you turne eoid off in build its
all complaints to here and the black stump. fix this by making the eo
id "off" path match eo id on by making null objects silent.

removing the klass member meant removing hooks and keeping cache small
but that meant not using it. this meand if the object is not an obj...
i removed the:
call->obj = _eo_class_id_get(call->klass);
line - seemed harmless/pointless. apparently not. so put it back but
use the klass there in local vars and not in call as it's not there
(and not needed).
fix.
we pass both the callcache and the op id - both are static and filled
in at runtime, so merge them into the same struct. this should lead to
better alignment/padding with the offset array and the next slot and
op fields, probably saving about 4-8 bytes of rame per method with no
downsides. also pass in only cache ptr, not both cache ptr and opid -
less passing of stuff around and should be better.
so. clang is wrong. end of story. it complains that i should add
braces to:
static Eo_Call_Cache ___callcache = { 0 };
WRONG. that is correct c99. 100%. you can add more {}'s and init every
field separately like {{0},{0},{0}} etc. or make it 1 or any value -
it doesn't matter... clang complains. clang is wrong. plain and
simple. this warning should just never exist. it is pointless.
but... peolpe won't shut up about clang warnings until i "fool" clang
into being silent by assuming the default 0 value of static storage.
this silences clang
BEWARE! this breaks eo ABI. _eo_call_resolve and _eo_data_scope_get
are 2 of the biggest cpu users in eo. they easily consume like 10-15%
cpu between them on tests that drive a lot of api - like simply
scrolling a genlist around. this is a lot of overhead for efl. this
fixes that to make them far leaner. In fact this got an overall 10%
cpu usage drop and that includes all of the actual rendering, and code
work, so this would drop the eo overhead of these functions incredibly
low. using this much cpu just on doing call marshalling is a bug and
thus - this is a fix, but ... with an abi break to boot. more abi
breaks may happen before release to try and get them all in this
release so we don't have to do them again later.
note i actually tested 4, 3, 2, and 1 cache slots, and 1 was the
fastest. 2 was very close behind and then it got worse. all were
better than with no cache though.
benchmark test method:
export ELM_ENGINE=gl
export ELM_TEST_AUTOBOUNCE=1
while [ 1 ]; do sync; sync; sync; time elementary_test -to genlist;
sleep 1; done
take the 2nd to the 8th results (7 runs) and total up system and user
time. copmpare this to the same without the cache. with the cache cpu
time used is 90.3% of the cpu time used without - thus a win. at least
in my tests.
@fix
so we do a bit of error handling like does a stack fail to allocate,
does setting the tls var fail, have the stack frames been nulled or
not allocated, etc. - these acutally cost every call because they mean
some extra compare and branches, but ore because they cause a lot fo
extra code to be generated, thus polluting instruction cache with code
and cacheline fetches of code that we rarely take - if ever.
every if () and DBG, ERR etc. does cost something. in really hotpath
code like this, i think it's best we realize that these checks will
basically never be triggered, because if a stack fails to grow... we
likely alreayd blew our REAL stack for the C/C++ side and that can't
allocate anymore and has already just crashed (no magic message there -
just segv). so in this case i think this checking is pointless and
just costs us rather than gets us anything.
This causes a significant speed up (around 10% here) and is definitely
worth it. The way it's done lets the compiler cache the value across
different eo_do calls, and across the parts of eo_do. Start and end.
This breaks ABI.
This may look like an insignificant change, but it doubles the speed of
this function, and since this function is called so often, it actually
improves my benchmarks by around 8%.
This breaks ABI in a harmless way, and it will give us the ability to
drastically improve Eo in the future without breaking ABI again, thus
allowing us to declare Eo stable for this release if we choose to.
My previous patch to this piece of code
(37f84b7e96), caused a significant
performance regression. This is such a hot path, that even accessing the
strings when we don't have to slows things down drastically. It makes
more sense to just store it in the structure.
This commit breaks ABI (though most people probably won't even need to
recompile anything else because of the memory layout).
It was discussed on IRC and was decided this is a big enough issue to
warrant a fix during the freeze.
@fix
We use function names instead of function pointers of Windows, because
of dll import/export issues (more in a comment in eo.c). Before this
commit we were comparing the pointers to the strings instead of the
content in some of the places, which caused op desc lookup not to work.
This fixes that.
Thanks to vtorri for his assistance.

Commit 37f84b7e96 introduced a few changes
to the callback matching mechanism that made it so sometimes callbacks
would be triggered for the wrong events. The problem was there because
of the support for legacy events that forces to do string comparison
instead of the usual pointer comparison. We should only do string
comparison when we are certain one of the callbacks is a legacy
generated one.
Regression tests will follow tomorrow. Way too late here for that.
Thanks to cedric for reporting.
As described by Carsten in his email to edev ML titled:
"[E-devel] eo stability - i think we need to postpone that"
with the switch to Eo2 we significantly increased our usage of RW memory
pages, and thus significantly increased our memory usage when running
multiple applications.
The problem was that during the migration to Eo2 the op id cache and the
op description arrays were merged, causing the op description arrays to
no longer be RO. This patch enables users of Eo (mainly Eolian) to
declare those arrays as const (RO) again, saving that memory.
There might be performance implications with this patch. I had to remove
the op desc array sorting, and I used a hash table for the lookup. I
think the op desc sorting doesn't really affect performance because that
array is seldom accessed and is usually pretty short. The hash table
is not a problem either, because it's behind the scenes, so it can be
changed to a more efficient data structure if the hash table is not good
enough. The hash table itself is also rarely accessed, so it's mostly
about memory.
Please keep an eye for any bugs, performance or excessive memory usage.
I believe this should be better on all fronts.
This commit *BREAKS ABI*.
@fix
The old naming is inconsistent with the rest of the EFL. This fixes that.
Since we are already breaking ABI (and possibly API), we should fix this too.
This hasn't been used for a while. Since we are going to break Eo a bit anyway
it's a good opportunity to drop this.
This may cause a slight performance issues with legacy events, such as
smart callbacks. This shouldn't really be a problem as we've migrated away from
them. If it does, we need to migrate the remaining parts. Only relevant
for callbacks that are added before the classes are created, which
shouldn't be possible except for smart, only for old evas callbacks.
Scenario:
- Same signal/function/data registered twice on e.g mouse_down
- On mouse_down, register mouse_move and mouse_up
- On mouse_up, unregister mouse_move
Result: mouse_move still invoked after mouse_up
Reason:
- When the mouse_move callback deletion is required, the cb is
flagged as deleted but is not freed as walking_list blocks.
- When the second (and same) has to be deleted, it will try to delete
the first again because the delete_me flag is not checked.
This patch fixes it by checking the delete_me flag when determining the
candidate.
@fix
This should not happen. Objects with parents must have their parents
unset before they reach refcount == 0. That's because the parent is the
one holding the refcount. This means that if we get to the destructor
(object is deleted) while a parent is still set, we have an error
scenario.
After this change, parent_set assigns a ref, so for example:
obj = eo_add(CLASS, parent); /* Ref is 1 */
eo_do(obj, eo_parent_set(parent2)); /* Ref is 1 */
eo_ref(obj); /* Ref is 2 */
eo_do(obj, eo_parent_set(NULL)); /* Ref is 1, giving the ref to NULL */
eo_do(obj, eo_parent_set(parent)); /* Ref is 1 */
This is following a discussion on the ML about commit
8689d54471.

xrefs keep lists of objects references. children are already in a list.
why keep both? lots of extra memory used for no value when debug is on
(pretty much most of the time).
this follows on from cbc1a217bf as this
code was correct, but was then causing bugs due to children staying in
their parent lists. this should never have happened and this is really
bad. this fixes this and ensures children on destruction are gone from
their parent lists.
@fix
it is possible that a destructor/parent_set override or function could
go modifying the children list of objects in a parent, this the
EINA_LIST_FREE may actually miss objects in the process since within
the "free" func the list may have been altered etc.

@fix
XXX: Given EFL usage of objects, construction is a perfectly valid thing
to do. we shouldn't complain about it as handling a NULL obj creation is
the job of the caller. a perfect example here is ecore_con and ecore_ipc
where you create a con or ipc obj then set up type/destination/port and
the finalize of the constructor does the actual connect and thus this
fails or succeeds based on if service is there.
until there is a better solution - don't complain here.
This is heavily based on a patch by Vincent Torri. I just refactored it
a bit so it doesn't break ABI on Linux, only on Windows (where it was
broken anyway).
This patch changes things so on Windows, functions are looked up only
based on their name. Because of the indirection (and export/import
tables) windows does, this is the only reasonable way to make it work.
You should always use curly brackets. Especially when the inside statement
has its own curlys. This can be confusing and has already lead to bugs in
many projects.
This was not really useful and against the Eolian guidelines.
While I promised I won't break things until the 27th, I was ill
(still am), so I'm giving myself a 1 day pass. :P
While unrefing twice works, it's cleaner to unref the ref we
have and delete normally. It will handle parnet detachments in
a nicer way, and is just more correct.
This is another cleanup in perparation for the Eo stable release.
This is no longer needed thanks to the proper error reporting with
eo_constructor()'s new return value.
The finalizer change cleans it up a bit so it catches more cases/issues.
This also means that the finalizer cleans up the object in all cases,
and not only some.
@feature.
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
This is a convenience macro to be used by the common pattern of getting
a part and then immediately calling functions on it. For example,
without this macro, you'd have to write code like:
Eo *part;
eo_do(obj, part = efl_part_name_get("partname"));
eo_do(part, a_set(7));
while using the helper function trims it to:
eo_do_part(obj, efl_part_name_get("partname"), a_set(7));
@feature
Remove it from the constructors section.
This was wrong. This place is for functions that are allowed to be
passed to eo_add() and should be used by bindings to create
constructors.
This is wrong for both cases, as this should always be called, not
optional.
Also remove the redundant legacy: null.
This is following a last review and a discussion on IRC. Eo has been
stable (apart of a decision a few months ago to support more compilers)
for a long while. Developers are already using it for a while, and it's
stupid to break it for them anyway, so we might as well make this
promise now. There are no plans to change it anymore, and it's been
heavily used and tested throughout the EFL for a few releases now.
I'm tagging it as a feature, although it's not, I'm doing it for the
automatic changelog generation. :)
@feature.
As discussed on IRC and ML. We are in a feature freeze phase, and this
patch is not essential. Furthermore, this patch was never discussed.
This reverts commit 537c7fe9e3.
Summary: Had a chat with raster to understand the behavior of these two functions in the IRC. Thought it might be helpful if added in the documentation itself. So updated it accordingly.

This affects eo_do() and eo_add() that used to use the ({}) GCCism.
Following a discussion with Peter de Ridder after my talk at FOSDEM,
we've decided to reopen the GCCism (works with other gcc compatible
compilers like clang and intelc) discussion, and after a bit of back and
forth it was decided to make things more portable, at the cost of ease
of use.
For example:
if (eo_do(obj, visible_get()))
is no longer allowed, the portable alternative
Eina_Bool tmp;
if (eo_do_ret(obj, tmp, visible_get()))
is to be used instead.
However:
eo_do(obj, a = a_get(), b = b_get(), bool_set(!bool_get))
are still allowed and OK.
eo_do(obj, if (a_get()) return;);
is no longer allowed, but:
eo_do(obj, if (a_get()) something());
is still allowed.
For clarity, this commit only incorporates the Eo changes, and not the
EFL changes to make the efl conform with this change.
Thanks again to Peter de Ridder for triggering this important discussion
which led to this change.
The header.id was masked before using it as index in the _eo_classes
array and was not unmasked when used.
It hasn't caused segfault (by sheer luck) but was wrong.
@fix
Before this fix, when a deletion was invoked twice on an object, a
wrong message ("...You wrongly call eo_unref() within a destructor...")
was printed. This was caused by the del_triggered flag that was not
resetted when the destruction finished.
This patch fixes this behavior by printing the right message on a double
deletion.
So I don't really understand why the code was not there before, but it resulted
in my experiment of making a combobox for elementary just impossible. Now it
work at least.
In some cases, invalid object ids (e.g 0x1) would pass validation and
represent completely different objects (0x80...01). This happened because
we weren't properly checking a given object id is actually an object id.
@fix.
For some reason, they were normal functions instead of eo functions,
which makes them harder to bind, less safe, and just wrong.
This commit fixes that.
Now it's more clear and consistent. This commit complements the previous
eo_add commit (a7560dbc61).
Now eo_add should be matched with eo_del
eo_ref with eo_unref
eo_add_ref with eo_unref + eo_del
Essentially, the change is that if you have the ref to an object, you
need to unref it. Thus making ref/unref unneeded for most people who use
things (carefully) in c. If however, you would like to delete an object
previously created by you, you should eo_del (counter-part to eo_add).
It's still recommended you ref/unref when dealing with objects in
scopes, as you can't know when an object might just get deleted as a
by-product of another call.
This fixes an issue found by JackDanielZ.
Before this change eo_add() used to create an object with 1 ref, and if
the object had a parent, a second ref.
Now, eo_add() always returns an object with 1 ref, and eo_add_ref()
preserves the old behaviour (for bindings).
eo_unref now un-parents if refcount is 0, and eo_del() is an alias for
eo_unref (will change to be a way to ensure an object is dead and goes
to zombie-land even if still refed).
This moves the mainloop check inside the function. There was never need
for it to be in client code (i.e a header/macro).
This is better suited inside eo_do_start because this is a macro some
bindings have to re-implement, and we definitely don't want it to be any
more complicated than it has to be.
This breaks ABI and makes elm 1.12 depend on efl 1.11. This is not an issue
as because of eolian and interfaces it's already the case.
eina_tls_get is really slow, having a fast path for the main loop does really
help us right now. It is also unlikely that slowing down a little bit the use
of eo in thread is going to have any impact on application speed any time soon.
I win a +10% on expedite benchmark compared to without.

This enables checking if an object is being created, or has already been
finalized. This is useful in functions that you want to allow
only during the creation phase (i.e inside the eo_add()).
Comp objects are rare, and since we allow using classes as interfaces,
we end up allocating a lot of memory for something we don't even use.
That's why it was a linked list in the first place, and that's why it
should remain a list.
This is almost a complete revert. I reverted the code itself, and the
intent (use of array instead of list), but not the tests, or the new
return value added to comp_detach, which is useful.
This reverts commit ef09ef7489.
This function lets you hook at the end of eo_add and override it for a
class. This is essentially the first step towards killing custom
constructors. Instead of having a custom constructor, you should just
do:
eo_add(CLASS, parent, a_set(3), b_set("eou"));
eo_constructor is called at the beginning for pre-init things.
eo_finalize is called at the end, for actually finalizing and doing
things. This cleans up the API and possibly saves a lot of things that
would have been stupid and slow in the past, like loading an elm widget
with an existing theme, and then changing the theme.
** This breaks Eo ABI, please recompile elementary and everything else that
creates eo objects.

We check _current_table for NULL, and then populate it (it's a global)
through another function, but we don't really check it's not NULL before
using it, we just assume because of an indirect other variable.
This confused coveritiy, can confuse humans too, and in general risky
(if something changes).
CID 1039419
Coverity found the issue, but it's an issue we've already fixed in the
past. I don't know how it got lost, but it seems like someone did a bad
merge. Probably when migrating to Eo2.
This reverts commit 831c20464d.
this fixes and eo2 problem where when callstack grows (or shrinks)
and realloc nas to relocate memory, the frame ptrs like fptr become
invalid and all sorts of hell ensues.
this uses mmap so blowing the stack will segv, not scribble over
memory, also its separated from malloc heap, and now big enough to not
need to size ... ever (1024 entries).
due to recent changes a lot of objects are now NULL (correctly) and eo
complains on access of them. it's simply too noisy adding too many
if's all through code, so let's just make eo be sensible here.
It's now completely valid to do:
a = eo_do(obj, a_get());
or:
b = eo_do(obj, a_set(1), b_get());
Also, the default return value for eo2 functions is now also returned
when the object is invalid, not just when the object does not match
class.
It's a small refactor that fixed both issues at once.

overriding non-existing fct.
as op descs are sorted, we can't output fct indexes in error msgs, but
as they are sorted using api_fct as key, we can detect multiple usage of
the same api_fct which leads to an unpredictable call to whatever is
returned by _eo2_api_op_id_get()->_eo2_api_desc_get().
it is still possible to instanciate an object of a not well defined class.
