lib::Depend<TY> works as drop-in replacement for lib::Singleton<TY>
This changeset removes the convoluted special cases like
SingletonSub and MockInjector.
explanation: we use pthread_once to define a mutex type descriptor,
used to define some of our mutexes as recursive mutexes. Now,
pthread_once relies on a counter stored in a given location;
we used a non-exported global var for this counter.
Unfortunately this ties the mutex initialisation to the static
initialisation of the compilation unit holding this counter variable.
Theoretically it would be possible (we never observed such an incident)
that, during static initialisation, a singleton was brought up,
which requires a class-scoped lock, implemented as recursive mutex.
And it would be possible for this singleton locking to happen prior
to initialisation of the mentioned counter variable.
As a fix, I've moved the counter varialbe into a function scoped
static variable, since that is guaranteed by the C++ runtime system
to be initialised at first usage of the function, irrespective of the
initialisation order of the enclosing compilation units
clang-3.2 requires a clarification here (while previous versions
of clang and GCC automatically resolved the ambiguity by assuming
use of a nested, dependent template).
Clang is more insistent when it comes to enforcing 'protected' visibility.
Since in this case the basic design can be considered sane and optimal, the
only (and obvious) solution is to nest the PIMPL into a default base class
for implementation; this mirrors the structure of the interface.
Compilation with Clang 3.0 (which is available in Debian/stable) fails,
mostly due to some scoping and naming inconsistencies which weren't detected
by GCC. At some instances, Clang seems to have problems to figure out a
perfectly valid type definition; these can be resolved by more explicit
typing (which is preferrable anyway)
by providing a custom copy function one can adjust otherwise non-copyable
elements. This should be used cautionary because dereferencing elements may
poison the cache and thus have some considerable performance impact
(profile this)
using our util::_Fmt front-end helps to reduce the code size,
since all usages rely on a single inclusion of boost::format
including boost::format via header can cause quite some code bloat
NOTE: partial solution, still some further includes to reorganise
this draft fills in the structure how to get from an invocation
of the engine service to the starting of actual CalcStream instances.
Basically the EngineService implementation is repsonsile to
instruct the Segmentation to provide a suitable Dispatcher.
This is necessary since the implementation of the job functions
calls through the VTable of the interface JobClosure. Thus this
interface (and the VTable definition) needs to reside within
some compilation unit linked together with the basic job class.
TODO: move class Job entirely into the Backend
now builds for me on Debian-7 Wheezy 64bit
unqualified member functions in dependent base classes not found anymore.
Need to qualify either the class or the instance.
