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 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)
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
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.
...for the very specific situation when we want
to explore an existing data structure, and the
exploration assumes value semantics.
The workaround then is to use pointers as values.
...attempt to build it based on the monadic iterator primitives.
Only problem is: need to find out relation between nodes
after the fact. In the real usage situation, this
is not a problem, since we have a state object
there, which can track the relation as it is established
the buildsystem will now pick up and link
all test cases according to the layer, e.g.
backend tests will automatically be linked
against the backend + library solely.
This is kind of a workaround to avoid having to maintain two variants.
Explanation: between Boost 1.42 and 1.52 there was the transition to a
reworked version of the filesystem library, itroducing some breaking changes
The new version distinguishes much clearer between the native and the
generic representation of paths -- which becomes relevant when porting
to non-POXIX operating systems.
Actually the intention was to use the generic path representation in all
configuration; currently this distinction is moot, since we're caring
only for POSIX systems.
So the workaround is to use the fsys::path::string() function, which
is available in both versions, but changed meaning to yield the native
string. Later, when able to deprecate older Boost versions, we should
switch to generic_string()
Note: an alternative solution was found by Mike Fisher in 3b39f35
using the compiletime define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION=2

...to extract the syntetic ordering from
DefsRegistry and make that a responsibility
of the (internal) syntactic representation
of the query.
doesn't pass the compiler yet
effectively this joins the two existing lines
of "Query" classes into one systematic representation
Next step would be to move all mutation operations
over to the Query::Builder
time handling is part of the library, while this
convenience shortcut relies on the Advice system,
which resides in the application lib.
To allow this kind of symbolic acces to a grid
entity defined "elesewhere", client code needs
to be linked against liblumieracore.so
especially this allows to use the Advice system
or the query resolvers from within library facilities
to refer to other implementation level services by name
the rules-based configuration and query system
will be located within the core application,
while the concrete implementation facilities
are expected to reside within the session or
maybe also the GUI.
This is kind of a 'rochade' refactoring to resolve
circular library dependencies and confine the parts
dependant on the session and MObjects to the Proc-Layer
And while we're in the middle of chainsaw surgery,
we'll concentrate further query-based facilities
alongside the config-rules within the App core.
This template was a leftover from the early days
of Lumiera development and doesn't provide any
substantial value as an abstraction.
For the more intricate cases, we're using the
lib::MultiFact template, which allows to install
several "fabrication" functions at runtime
especially the exploration stack is pushed down
first successful definition of all the JobPlanning classes
just the framework of classes necessary to pass the compiler;
all implementation is still stubbed
brainstorming how to implement the job planning stage
the idea is to built on top of the IterExplorer,
but have the "stack" of re-evaluation integrated
into a custom type, which exploits the static
node network structure to avoid heap allocations
solution idea: again use a builder function?
the template _Fun started as an internal helper
for function-closure, but seems to be of
general use. Thus move it into meta/function.hpp
(function-closure.hpp is heavyweight)
this enables expansion of a (functional) data structure
until exhaustion -- which is what we need to
build job functors by traversing and expanding
an arbitrarily nested job definition structure
the intention is to use this to simplify
generating render jobs based on the elaborated
dependency network of the render nodes. The key
challenge is to overcome the necessity to
store partially done evaluations as
continuation
the tricky part seems to be how to combine the
source iterators into a new monad instance, while
keeping this "Combinator" Strategy configurable
...just passes the compiler, while still lacking
even the generic implementation of joining
together the source iterators
The idea is to avoid building a data structure
for intermediary results, while still being able
to process a variably sized and arbitrary shaped
set of source data
implemented as extension to the linear combinations.
I decided to use the same "always floor" rule
as employed for time quantisation. Moreover,
we don't support floating point, only rationals
