/**

* @page eina_magic_example_01_page
|
|
* @dontinclude eina_magic_01.c
|
|
*
|
|
* Whenever using Eina we must include it:
|
|
* @skipline #include
|
|
*
|
|
* For this example we are going to define two classes, person and pilot, and
|
|
* since every pilot is a person we use inheritance. To be type safe we are
|
|
* going to add EINA_MAGIC to our classes:
|
|
* @until struct _pilot pilot
|
|
* @note The values of BASETYPE_MAGIC and SUBTYPE_MAGIC have no meaning, the
|
|
* only important thing about them is that they be unique.
|
|
*
|
|
* Here we have a function to create a perso given a name, nothing too fancy:
|
|
* @until }
|
|
*
|
|
* And now the counterpart, a function the free a person.
|
|
* @until {
|
|
* Before we start releasing resources we check that the pointer we were given
|
|
* actually points to a person, and if not we will print an error message and
|
|
* quit:
|
|
* @until }
|
|
* @note EINA_MAGIC_FAIL is a macro that make's it easy to print an appropriate
|
|
* (and consistent) error message.
|
|
* Now knowing that ptr is indeed of type person we prooced to set EINA_MAGIC to
|
|
* EINA_MAGIC_NONE and free alocated memory:
|
|
* @until }
|
|
* @note Setting EINA_MAGIC to EINA_MAGIC_NONE is important to prevent the
|
|
* struct from being used after freed.
|
|
*
|
|
* Now we have our function to create a pilot, this one is a little more complex
|
|
* because we need to set EINA_MAGIC for the pilot and pilot->base, this is very
|
|
* important so that checking the EINA_MAGIC of (person*)my_pilot will work:
|
|
* @until }
|
|
*
|
|
* The function to free a pilot is not too different from the one that frees a
|
|
* person:
|
|
* @until }
|
|
* @until }
|
|
*
|
|
* We also create functions to print a person or a pilot that check the type of
|
|
* the pointers they receive:
|
|
* @until }
|
|
* @until }
|
|
*
|
|
* And on to our main function where we declare some variables and initialize
|
|
* Eina:
|
|
* @until eina_init
|
|
*
|
|
* For Eina to be able to provide more informative error messages we are going
|
|
* to give names to our EINA_MAGIC types:
|
|
* @until string_set
|
|
*
|
|
* Since our types won't live longer than the scope of the current function we
|
|
* can set the name without eina making a copy of the string:
|
|
* @until static_set
|
|
*
|
|
* Now we create a person, a pilot and print both as persons:
|
|
* @until person *
|
|
*
|
|
* Now we try to print both as pilots, which will obvisouly not work since base
|
|
* is not a pilot:
|
|
* @until pilot(sub
|
|
*
|
|
* That's all folks:
|
|
* @until }
|
|
*
|
|
* See full source @ref eina_magic_example_01_c "here".

|
|
* @brief Eina_Magic provides run-time type-checking.
|
|
*
|
|
* C is a weak statically typed language, in other words, it will just check for
|
|
* types during compile time and any cast will make the compiler believe the
|
|
* type is correct.
|
|
*
|
|
* In real world code we often need to deal with casts, either explicit or
|
|
* implicit by means of @c void*. We also need to resort to casts when doing
|
|
* inheritance in C.
|
|
*
|
|
* Eina_Magic give us a way to do casts and still be certain of the type we are
|
|
* opearting on.
|
|
*
|
|
* @note It should be noted that it is considered good practice to @b disable
|
|
* Eina_Magic for production code. The reasoning is that any Eina_Magic errors
|
|
* should have been caught during testing and therefore there is no reason to
|
|
* incur the performance downside of Eina_Magic.
|
|
*
|
|
* An @ref eina_magic_example_01_page "example" should elucidate matters.
