yes, it's a cycle and indeed quite tricky.
Just verified it (again) with the debugger and saw all
dtor calls happening in the expected order. Also the number
of Nexus registration is sane
Now I've realised that there are two degrees of connectedness.
It is very much possible to have a "free standing" BusTerm, which
only allows to send uplink messages. In fact, this is how CoreService
is implemented, and probably it should also the way how to connect
the GuiNotification service...
...because some Bus connections stem from elements which are
member of CoreService, thus the'll still be connected when the
sanity check in the dtor runs
But even with this fix, we still get a SEGFAULT
TODO
- is this actually a sensible idea, from a design viewpoint?
- in which way to bind GuiNotification for receiving diff messages?
- Problem with disconnnecting from Nexus on shutdown
not quite sure how to get the design straight.
Also a bit concerned because we'll get this much indirections;
the approach to send invocations via the UI-Bus needs to prove its viability
mark TODOs in code to make that happen.
Actually, it is not hard to do so, it just requires to combine
all the existing building blocks. When this is done, we can define
the "Session" subsystem as prerequisite for "GUI" in main.cpp
Unless I've made some (copy-n-paste) mistake with defining the facades,
this should be sufficient to pull up "the Session" and automatically
let the Gui-Plugin connect against the SessionCommandService
up to now this happened from the GuiRunner, which was a rather bad idea
- it can throw and thus interfer with the startup process
- the GuiNotification can not sensibly be *implemented* just backed
by the GuiRunner. While CoreService offers access to the necessary
implementation facilities to do so
Decision was made to use the CoreService as PImpl to organise
all those technical aspects of running the backbone. Thus,
the Nexus (UI-Bus hub) becomes part of CoreService
since, by definition, the Nexus is "the" up-link,
all we need is clever overriding of the relevant
handling functions, so the nexus will care for the routing,
while the CoreService cares for command and presentation
state handling
