One important factor in the design of LazyEventAPI was the desire to allow
LLLeapListener to query metadata for an LLEventAPI even if it hasn't yet been
instantiated by LazyEventAPI. That's why LazyEventAPI requires the same
metadata required by a classic LLEventAPI.
Instead of just publicly exposing its data members, give LazyEventAPI a query
API mimicking LLEventAPI / LLEventDispatcher. Protect data members and private
methods.
Adapt lazyeventapi_test.cpp accordingly.
Extend LLLeapListener::getAPIs() and getAPI() to look through LazyEventAPIBase
instances after first checking existing LLEventAPI instances. Because the
query API for LazyEventAPIBase mimics LLEventAPI's, extract getAPI()'s actual
metadata reporting to a new internal template function reportAPI().
While we're touching LLLeapListener, we no longer need BOOST_FOREACH().
LazyEventAPI is a registrar that implicitly instantiates some particular
LLEventAPI subclass on demand: that is, when LLEventPumps::obtain() tries to
find an LLEventPump by the registered name.
This leverages the new LLEventPumps::registerPumpFactory() machinery. Fix
registerPumpFactory() to adapt the passed PumpFactory to accept TypeFactory
parameters (two of which it ignores). Supplement it with
unregisterPumpFactory() to support LazyEventAPI instances with lifespans
shorter than the process -- which may be mostly test programs, but still a
hole worth closing. Similarly, add unregisterTypeFactory().
A LazyEventAPI subclass takes over responsibility for specifying the
LLEventAPI's name, desc, field, plus whatever add() calls will be needed to
register the LLEventAPI's operations. This is so we can (later) enhance
LLLeapListener to consult LazyEventAPI instances for not-yet-instantiated
LLEventAPI metadata, as well as enumerating existing LLEventAPI instances.
The trickiest part of this is capturing calls to the various
LLEventDispatcher::add() overloads in such a way that, when the LLEventAPI
subclass is eventually instantiated, we can replay them in the new instance.
LLEventAPI acquires a new protected constructor specifically for use by a
subclass registered by a companion LazyEventAPI. It accepts a const reference
to LazyEventAPIParams, intended to be opaque to the LLEventAPI subclass; the
subclass must declare a constructor that accepts and forwards the parameter
block to the new LLEventAPI constructor. The implementation delegates to the
existing LLEventAPI constructor, plus it runs deferred add() calls.
LLDispatchListener now derives from LLEventStream instead of containing it as
a data member. The reason is that if LLEventPumps::obtain() implicitly
instantiates it, LLEventPumps's destructor will try to destroy it by deleting
the LLEventPump*. If the LLEventPump returned by the factory function is a
data member of an outer class, that won't work so well. But if
LLDispatchListener (and by implication, LLEventAPI and any subclass) is
derived from LLEventPump, then the virtual destructor will Do The Right Thing.
Change LLDispatchListener to *not* allow tweaking the LLEventPump name. Since
the overwhelming use case for LLDispatchListener is LLEventAPI, accepting but
silently renaming an LLEventAPI subclass would ensure nobody could reach it.
Change LLEventDispatcher's use of std::enable_if to control the set of add()
overloads available for the intended use cases. Apparently this formulation is
just as functional at the method declaration point, while avoiding the need to
restate the whole enable_if expression at the method definition point.
Add lazyeventapi_test.cpp to exercise.
