Efl.Appthread (class)

Description

This class houses the application's thread and main loop. It works similarly to Efl.App but allows communicating with it from a different thread through the Efl.ThreadIO, Efl.Io.Reader and Efl.Io.Writer interfaces. Methods can be scheduled to be executed in this thread using Efl.ThreadIO.call and Efl.ThreadIO.call_sync.

Members

call [Overridden from Efl.ThreadIO]

Executes a method on a different thread, asynchronously.
void efl_threadio_call(Eo *obj, EflThreadIOCall func);


call_sync [Overridden from Efl.ThreadIO]

Executes a method on a different thread, synchronously. This call will not return until the method finishes and its return value can be recovered.
void *efl_threadio_call_sync(Eo *obj, EflThreadIOCallSync func);


can_read (get, set) protected set [Overridden from Efl.Io.Reader]

If true will notify Efl.Io.Reader.read can be called without blocking or failing.

void efl_io_reader_can_read_set(Eo *obj, Eina_Bool can_read);


can_write (get, set) protected set [Overridden from Efl.Io.Writer]

If true will notify Efl.Io.Writer.write can be called without blocking or failing.
Eina_Bool efl_io_writer_can_write_get(const Eo *obj);

close [Overridden from Efl.Io.Closer]

Closes the Input/Output object.
Eina_Error efl_io_closer_close(Eo *obj);


closed (get) [Overridden from Efl.Io.Closer]

Eina_Bool efl_io_closer_closed_get(const Eo *obj);


constructor [Overridden from Efl.Object]

Implement this method to provide optional initialization code for your object.
Efl_Object *efl_constructor(Eo *obj);


destructor [Overridden from Efl.Object]

Implement this method to provide deinitialization code for your object if you need it.
void efl_destructor(Eo *obj);


eos (get, set) protected set [Overridden from Efl.Io.Reader]

If true will notify end of stream.
Eina_Bool efl_io_reader_eos_get(const Eo *obj);
void efl_io_reader_eos_set(Eo *obj, Eina_Bool is_eos);


read [Overridden from Efl.Io.Reader]

Reads data into a pre-allocated buffer.
Eina_Error efl_io_reader_read(Eo *obj, Eina_Rw_Slice rw_slice);


write [Overridden from Efl.Io.Writer]

Writes data from a pre-populated buffer.
Eina_Error efl_io_writer_write(Eo *obj, Eina_Slice slice, Eina_Slice *remaining);

close_on_invalidate (get, set) If true will automatically close() on object invalidate.
Efl.Loop
begin Runs the application main loop.
end Request the task end (may send a signal or interrupt signal resulting in a terminate event being triggered in the target task loop).
idle A future promise that will be resolved from a clean main loop context as soon as the main loop is idle.
invalidate Implement this method to perform special actions when your object loses its parent, if you need to.
iterate Runs a single iteration of the main loop to process everything on the queue.
iterate_may_block Runs a single iteration of the main loop to process everything on the queue with block/non-blocking status.
job A future promise that will be resolved from a clean main loop context as soon as possible.
quit Quits the main loop once all the events currently on the queue have been processed.
run Actually run the task.
throttle (get, set) Slow down the loop execution by forcing sleep for a small period of time every time the loop iterates/loops.
protected set time (get, set) Retrieves the time at which the last loop stopped waiting for timeouts or events.
timeout A future promise that will be resolved from a clean main loop context after time seconds.
Efl.Loop_Consumer
future_rejected Creates a new future that is already rejected to a specified error using the Efl.Loop_Consumer.loop.get.
future_resolved Creates a new future that is already resolved to a value.
loop (get)
promise_new Create a new promise with the scheduler coming from the loop provided by this object.

Events

Inherited

Efl.Io.Closer
closed Notifies closed, when property is marked as true
Efl.Io.Reader
can_read,changed Notifies can_read property changed.
eos Notifies end of stream, when property is marked as true.
Efl.Io.Writer
can_write,changed Notifies can_write property changed.
Efl.Loop
arguments Event happens when args are provided to the loop by args_add().
idle Event occurs once the main loop is idle. If you keep listening on this event it may increase the burden on your CPU.
idle,enter Event occurs once the main loop enters the idle state.
idle,exit Event occurs once the main loop exits the idle state.
poll,high Event occurs multiple times per second. The exact tick is undefined and can be adjusted system-wide.
poll,low Event occurs multiple times every 15 minutes. The exact tick is undefined and can be adjusted system-wide.
poll,medium Event occurs multiple times per minute. The exact tick is undefined and can be adjusted system-wide.
quit Event occurs when the loop was requested to quit externally e.g. by a ctrl+c signal or a request from a parent loop/thread to have the child exit.
Efl.Object
del Object is being deleted. See Efl.Object.destructor.
destruct Object has been fully destroyed. It can not be used beyond this point. This event should only serve to clean up any reference you keep to the object.
invalidate Object is being invalidated and losing its parent. See Efl.Object.invalidate.
noref Object has lost its last reference, only parent relationship is keeping it alive. Advanced usage.
ownership,shared Object has acquired a second reference. It has multiple owners now. Triggered whenever increasing the refcount from one to two, it will not trigger by further increasing the refcount beyond two.
ownership,unique Object has lost a reference and only one is left. It has just one owner now. Triggered whenever the refcount goes from two to one.
Efl.Task
exit Called when the task exits. You can pick up any information you need at this point such as exit_code etc.
