still TODO: the ability to use immutable types
within the command framework. In theory, this
shouldn't be had to implement, since we're creating
a new opaque value holder within the command registry
anyway, so it should be sufficient to refrain from
re-assigning a new value tuple. This is relevant,
since e.g. our time framework is built on immutable
value types.
based on the previous experiments, this adds a fake operation
and a definition frame to hook this operation as pseudo Proc-Layer command
WIP: the invocation itself is not yet implemented.
We need to build a custom invocation pattern for that,
in order to be able to capture the instance-ID of the command
on invocation
NOTE: also, because of #989, we can not bind a time value for this test
I worked under the erroneous assumption, that Doxygen
will use its internal entity-IDs as the link-IDs when
generating mardown-links. Yes, this seemed logical and
this would be the way I'd implement it....
But seemingly, Doxygen is not so consistent when it
comes to questions of syntax. The same holds true for
markdown, which lacking a coherent definition anyway.
Another problem is that Doxygen's auto-link generation
frequently fails, for reasons not yet clear to me.
Sometimes it seems to be necessary to give it a nudge
by including the \ref command. While I'm not willing
to go into focussed invstigation of Doxygen syntax
right now, at least I've done a search-and-replace
to remove the malformed links I've written the
last days
the initial draft of this concept is in place now, and
the first round of unit tests pass. I've got some understanding
of the purpose of the interactions and involved elements
and I'm confident this design is evolving in a sane way.
Note: extensive documentation is in the TiddlyWiki,
here I've just pasted and reworded some paragraphs from there
and integrated them into the Doxygen docs
I think it is a shame to waste the nice name "nexus"
just for a test facility; rather I've named our central
routing hub in the UI-Bus gui::ctrl::Nexus
So it makes sense to name the fake for unit testing
the test-nexus (we're not at nexus 5 yet)
