Function Documentation

eina_future_cancel()

EINA_API void eina_future_cancel

(

Eina_Future *

f

)

Cancels a future.

This function will cancel the whole future chain immediately (it will not be schedule to the next mainloop pass) and it will also cancel the promise linked against it. The Eina_Future_Cb will be called with an Eina_Value typed as EINA_VALUE_TYPE_ERROR, with its value set to ECANCELED

Parameters

[in,out]

f

The future to cancel.

eina_future_desc_flush()

EINA_API void eina_future_desc_flush

(

Eina_Future_Desc *

desc

)

Flushes an Eina_Future_Desc.

This function is mainly used by bindings to flush an Eina_Future_Desc. It will call the Eina_Future_Cb with ENOMEM and zero the desc contents.

Parameters

[in,out]

desc

The Eina_Future_Desc to flush, if NULL this is a noop.

eina_future_cb_easy_desc_flush()

EINA_API void eina_future_cb_easy_desc_flush

(

Eina_Future_Cb_Easy_Desc *

desc

)

Flushes an Eina_Future_Cb_Easy_Desc.

This function is mainly used by bindings to flush an Eina_Future_Cb_Easy_Desc. It will call the Eina_Future_Error_Cb with ENOMEM, the Eina_Future_Free_Cb and zero the desc contents.

Parameters

[in,out]

desc

The Eina_Future_Cb_Easy_Desc to flush, if NULL this is a noop.

References _Eina_Future_Cb_Easy_Desc::data, eina_value_flush(), _Eina_Future_Cb_Easy_Desc::error, and _Eina_Future_Cb_Easy_Desc::free.

eina_promise_as_value()

EINA_API Eina_Value eina_promise_as_value

(

Eina_Promise *

p

)

Creates a new Eina_Value from a promise.

This function creates a new Eina_Value that will store an Eina_Promise in it. This function is useful for dealing with promises inside an Eina_Future_Cb. By returning a promise inside the Eina_Value the whole chain will wait until the promise is resolved in order to continue its execution. Example:

static Eina_Value
_file_data_ready(const *data EINA_UNUSED, const Eina_Value v, const Eina_Future *dead EINA_UNUSED)
{
   const char *file_data;
   Eina_Promise *p;
   // It was not possible to fetch the file size.
   if (v.type == EINA_VALUE_TYPE_ERROR)
   {
      Eina_Error err;
      eina_value_get(&v, &err);
      fprintf(stderr, "Could not get the file data. Reason: %s\n", eina_error_msg_get(err));
      ecore_main_loop_quit();
      return v;
   }
   else if (v.type != EINA_VALUE_TYPE_STRING)
   {
     fprintf(stderr, "Expecting type '%s' - received '%s'\n", EINA_VALUE_TYPE_STRING->name, v.type->name);
     ecore_main_loop_quit();
     return v;
   }
 
   eina_value_get(&v, &file_data);
   // count_words will count the words in the background and resolve the promise once it is over...
   p = count_words(file_data);
   return eina_promise_as_value(p);
}
 
static Eina_Value
_word_count_ready(const *data EINA_UNUSED, const Eina_Value v, const Eina_Future *dead EINA_UNUSED)
{
   // The _word_count_ready will only be called once count_words() resolves/rejects the promise returned by _file_data_ready()
   int count;
   if (v.type == EINA_VALUE_TYPE_ERROR)
   {
      Eina_Error err;
      eina_value_get(&v, &err);
      fprintf(stderr, "Could not count the file words. Reason: %s\n", eina_error_msg_get(err));
      ecore_main_loop_quit();
      return v;
   }
   else if (v.type != EINA_VALUE_TYPE_INT)
   {
     fprintf(stderr, "Expecting type '%s' - received '%s'\n", EINA_VALUE_TYPE_INT->name, v.type->name);
     ecore_main_loop_quit();
     return v;
   }
   eina_value_get(&v, &count);
   printf("File word count %d\n", count);
   return v;
}
 
void
file_operation(void)
{
   Eina_Future *f = get_file_data("/MyFile.txt");
   eina_future_chain(f, {.cb = _file_data_ready, .data = NULL},
                        {.cb = _word_count_ready, .data = NULL});
}

Parameters

[in,out]

p

The promise object to wrap in a value.

Returns

An Eina_Value. On error the value's type will be NULL.

Note

If an error happens the promise will be CANCELED.

Referenced by eina_future_as_value().

eina_future_as_value()

EINA_API Eina_Value eina_future_as_value

(

Eina_Future *

f

)

Creates an Eina_Value from a future.

This function is used for the same purposes as eina_promise_as_value(), but receives an Eina_Future instead.

Parameters

[in,out]

f

A future to create a Eina_Value from.

Returns

An Eina_Value. On error the value's type will be NULL.

Note

If an error happens the future f will be CANCELED

eina_future_new()

EINA_API Eina_Future * eina_future_new

(

Eina_Promise *

p

)

Creates a new future.

This function creates a new future and can be used to report that an operation has succeeded or failed using eina_promise_resolve() or eina_promise_reject().

Futures can also be canceled using eina_future_cancel(), which will cause the whole chain to be canceled alongside with any pending promise.

Note

A promise can only have one future attached to it, calling eina_future_new() on the same promise twice will result in an error (NULL is returned) and the future attached to the promise will be canceled!

Parameters

[in,out]

p

A promise used to attach a future. May not be NULL.

Returns

The future or NULL on error.

Note

If an error happens this function will CANCEL the promise.

eina_future_cancel()

References _Eina_Future_Desc::cb, and EINA_SAFETY_ON_TRUE_GOTO.

Referenced by eina_future_all_array(), eina_future_all_iterator(), eina_future_race_array(), eina_future_rejected(), and eina_future_resolved().

eina_future_resolved()

EINA_API Eina_Future * eina_future_resolved	(	Eina_Future_Scheduler *	scheduler,
		Eina_Value	value
	)

Creates a new future that is already resolved to a value.

This function creates a new future with an already known value, that will be resolved and dispatched by the given scheduler as usual.

This is a helper that behaves the same as eina_promise_new() followed by eina_future_new() and then eina_promise_resolve().

Futures can also be canceled using eina_future_cancel(), which will cause the whole chain to be canceled alongside with any pending promise.

Parameters

[in,out]	scheduler	The scheduler to use.
[in]	value	The value to be delivered. Note that the value contents must survive this function scope, that is, do not use stack allocated blobs, arrays, structures or types that keep references to memory you give. Values will be automatically cleaned up using eina_value_flush() once they are unused (no more future or futures returned a new value).

Returns

The future or NULL on error.

Creates a new future that is already rejected to a specified error.

This function creates a new future with an already known error, that will be resolved and dispatched by the given scheduler as usual.

This is a helper that behaves the same as eina_promise_new() followed by eina_future_new() and then eina_promise_reject().

Futures can also be canceled using eina_future_cancel(), which will cause the whole chain to be canceled alongside with any pending promise.

Parameters

[in,out]	scheduler	The scheduler to use.
[in]	err	An Eina_Error value

Returns

The future or NULL on error.

eina_future_then_from_desc()

EINA_API Eina_Future * eina_future_then_from_desc	(	Eina_Future *	prev,
		const Eina_Future_Desc	desc
	)

Register an Eina_Future_Desc to be used when the future is resolved/rejected.

With this function a callback and data is attached to the future and then once it's resolved or rejected the callback will be informed.

If during the future creation an error happens this function will return NULL, and the Eina_Future_Desc::cb will be called reporting an error (EINVAL or ENOMEM), so the user has a chance to free Eina_Future_Desc::data.

In case a future in the chain is canceled, the whole chain will be canceled immediately and the error ECANCELED will be reported.

Here's a simple usage of this function.

static Eina_Value
_file_ready(const *data, const Eina_Value v, const Eina_Future *dead EINA_UNUSED)
{
   Ctx *ctx = data;
   // It was not possible to fetch the file size.
   if (v.type == EINA_VALUE_TYPE_ERROR)
   {
      Eina_Error err;
      eina_value_get(&v, &err);
      fprintf(stderr, "Could not read the file size. Reason: %s\n", eina_error_msg_get(err));
      ecore_main_loop_quit();
      return v;
   }
   else if (v.type != EINA_VALUE_TYPE_INT)
   {
     fprintf(stderr, "Expecting type '%s' - received '%s'\n", EINA_VALUE_TYPE_INT->name, v.type->name);
     ecore_main_loop_quit();
     return v;
   }
   eina_value_get(&v, &ctx->size);
   printf("File size is %d bytes\n", ctx->size);
   return v;
}
 
void
file_operation(void)
{
   Eina_Future *f = get_file_size_async("/MyFile.txt");
   eina_future_then_from_desc(f, (const Eina_Future_Desc){.cb = _size_ready, .data = NULL});
   // There's a helper macro called eina_future_then() which simplifies the usage.
   // The code below has the same effect.
   // eina_future_then(f, _size_ready, NULL);
}

Although the code presented at _size_ready() is very simple, most of it is just used to check the Eina_Value type. In order to avoid this type of code the function eina_future_cb_easy_from_desc() was created. Please, check its documentation for more information.

This function can also be used to create a future chain, making it possible to execute the future result in a cascade order. When using a future chain the Eina_Value returned by a Eina_Future_Desc::cb will be delivered to the next Eina_Future_Desc::cb in the chain.

Here's an example:

static Eina_Value
_future_cb1(const *data EINA_UNUSED, const Eina_Value v)
{
   Eina_Value new_v;
   int i;
 
   // There's no need to check the Eina_Value type since we're using eina_future_cb_easy()
   eina_value_get(&v, &i);
   printf("File size as int: %d\n", i);
   eina_value_setup(&new_v, EINA_VALUE_TYPE_STRING);
   // Convert the file size to string
   eina_value_convert(&v, &new_v);
   return new_v;
}
 
static Eina_Value
_future_cb2(const *data EINA_UNUSED, const Eina_Value v)
{
   Eina_Value new_v;
   const char *file_size_str;
 
   // There's no need to check the Eina_Value type since we're using eina_future_cb_easy()
   eina_value_get(&v, &file_size_str);
   printf("File size as string: %s\n", file_size_str);
   eina_value_setup(&new_v, EINA_VALUE_TYPE_DOUBLE);
   eina_value_convert(&v, &new_v);
   return new_v;
}
 
static Eina_Value
_future_cb3(const *data EINA_UNUSED, const Eina_Value v)
{
   double d;
 
   // There's no need to check the Eina_Value type since we're using eina_future_cb_easy()
   eina_value_get(&v, &d);
   printf("File size as double: %g\n", d);
   return v;
}
 
static Eina_Value
_future_err(void *data EINA_UNUSED, Eina_Error err)
{
   // This function is called if future result type does not match or another error occurred
   Eina_Value new_v;
   eina_value_setup(&new_v, EINA_VALUE_TYPE_ERROR);
   eina_value_set(&new_v, err);
   fprintf(stderr, "Error during future process. Reason: %s\n", eina_error_msg_get(err));
   // Pass the error to the next future in the chain..
   return new_v;
}
 
void chain(void)
{
  Eina_Future *f = get_file_size_async("/MyFile.txt");
  f = eina_future_then_easy(f, .success = _future_cb1, .success_type = EINA_VALUE_TYPE_INT);
  // _future_cb2 will be executed after _future_cb1()
  f = eina_future_then_easy(f, .success = _future_cb2, .success_type = EINA_VALUE_TYPE_STRING);
  // _future_cb3 will be executed after _future_cb2()
  f = eina_future_then_easy(f, .success = _future_cb3, .success_type = EINA_VALUE_TYPE_DOUBLE);
  // If an error happens _future_err will be called
  eina_future_then_easy(f, .error = _future_err);
}

Although it's possible to create a future chain using eina_future_then() and eina_future_then_from_desc() there's a function that makes this task much easier, please check eina_future_chain_array() for more information.

Note

This example does manual conversion and print, however Eina offers eina_future_cb_convert_to() and eina_future_cb_console_from_desc() to make those common case easier.

Parameters

[in,out]	prev	A future to link against
[in]	desc	A description struct containing the callback and data.

Returns

A new future or NULL on error.

Note

If an error happens the whole future chain will CANCELED and desc.cb will be called in order to free desc.data.

eina_future_cb_log_from_desc()

EINA_API Eina_Future_Desc eina_future_cb_log_from_desc

(

desc

)

Creates an Eina_Future_Desc that will log the previous future resolved value.

This function can be used to quickly log the value that an Eina_Future_Desc::cb is returning. The returned value will be passed to the next future in the chain without modifications.

There are some helper macros like eina_future_cb_log_dbg() which will automatically fill the following fields:

• Eina_Future_Cb_Log_Desc::file: The __FILE__ function will be used.
• Eina_Future_Cb_Log_Desc::func: The __func__ macro will be used.
• Eina_Future_Cb_Log_Desc::level: EINA_LOG_LEVEL_DBG will be used.
• Eina_Future_Cb_Log_Desc::domain: EINA_LOG_DOMAIN_DEFAULT will be used.
• Eina_Future_Cb_Log_Desc::line: The __LINE__ macro will be used.

Parameters

[in]

desc

The description data to be used.

Returns

An Eina_Future_Desc

eina_future_chain_array()

EINA_API Eina_Future * eina_future_chain_array	(	Eina_Future *	prev,
		const Eina_Future_Desc	descs[]
	)

Creates a future chain.

This behaves exactly like eina_future_then_from_desc(), but makes it easier to create future chains.

If during the future chain creation an error happens this function will return NULL, and the Eina_Future_Desc::cb from the descs array will be called reporting an error (EINVAL or ENOMEM), so the user has a chance to free Eina_Future_Desc::data.

Just like eina_future_then_from_desc(), the value returned by a Eina_Future_Desc::cb callback will be delivered to the next Eina_Future_Desc::cb in the chain.

In case a future in the chain is canceled, the whole chain will be canceled immediately and the error ECANCELED will be reported.

Here's an example:

// callbacks code....
 
Eina_Future* chain(void)
{
  Eina_Future *f = get_file_size_async("/MyFile.txt");
  return eina_future_chain(f, eina_future_cb_easy(_future_cb1, _future_err, NULL, EINA_VALUE_TYPE_INT, NULL),
                              eina_future_cb_easy(_future_cb2, _future_err, NULL, EINA_VALUE_TYPE_STRING, NULL),
                              eina_future_cb_easy(_future_cb3, _future_err, NULL, EINA_VALUE_TYPE_DOUBLE, NULL),
                              {.cb = _future_cb4, .data = NULL });
}

Parameters

[in,out]	prev	The previous future
[in]	descs	An array of descriptions. The last element of the array must have the Eina_Future_Desc::cb set to NULL

Returns

A future or NULL on error.

Note

If an error happens the whole future chain will CANCELED and desc.cb will be called in order to free desc.data.

This functions makes it easier to use eina_future_chain_array() with eina_future_cb_easy_from_desc(), check the macro eina_future_chain_easy() for a syntax sugar.

Parameters

[in,out]	prev	The previous future
[in]	descs	An array of descriptions. The last element of the array must have the Eina_Future_Desc::cb set to NULL

Returns

A future or NULL on error.

eina_future_cb_console_from_desc()

EINA_API Eina_Future_Desc eina_future_cb_console_from_desc

(

const Eina_Future_Cb_Console_Desc

desc

)

Creates an Eina_Future_Desc that will print the previous future's resolved value.

This function can be used to quickly inspect the value that an Eina_Future_Desc::cb is returning. The returned value will be passed to the next future in the chain without modifications.

There's also a helper macro called eina_future_cb_console() which makes this function easier to use.

Example:

eina_future_chain(a_future, {.cb = cb1, .data = NULL},
                            //Inspect the cb1 value and pass to cb2 without modifications
                            eina_future_cb_console("cb1 value:"),
                            {.cb = cb2, .data = NULL},
                            //Inspect the cb2 value
                            eina_future_cb_console("cb2 value:", " cb2 value suffix\n"))

Parameters

[in]

desc

Description object with contextual information.

Returns

An Eina_Future_Desc

The description object, desc, can (optionally) include a prefix, suffix, filename and function name. If these are NULL, empty strings ("") are used instead. If desc->suffix is provided, the '\n' should be provided to ensure the printed string ends with a line feed.

eina_future_cb_easy_from_desc()

EINA_API Eina_Future_Desc eina_future_cb_easy_from_desc

(

const Eina_Future_Cb_Easy_Desc

desc

)

Creates an Eina_Future_Desc based on an Eina_Future_Cb_Easy_Desc.

This function aims to be used in conjunction with eina_future_chain(), eina_future_then_from_desc() and friends and its main objective is to simplify error handling and Eina_Value type checks. It uses three callbacks to inform the user about the future's result and life cycle. They are:

• Eina_Future_Cb_Easy_Desc::success: This callback is called when the future execution was successful, that is, no errors occurred and the result type matches Eina_Future_Cb_Easy_Desc::success_type. In case Eina_Future_Cb_Easy_Desc::success_type is NULL, this function will only be called if the future did not report an error. The value returned by this function will be propagated to the next future in the chain (if any).

• Eina_Future_Cb_Easy_Desc::error: This callback is called when the future result is an error or Eina_Future_Cb_Easy_Desc::success_type does not match the future result type. The value returned by this function will be propagated to the next future in the chain (if any).

• Eina_Future_Cb_Easy_Desc::free: Called after the future was freed and any resources allocated must be freed at this point. This callback is always called.

Check the example below for a sample usage:

static Eina_Value
_file_size_ok(void *data, Eina_Value v)
{
  Ctx *ctx = data;
  // Since an Eina_Future_Cb_Easy_Desc::success_type was provided, there's no need to check the value type
  int s;
  eina_value_get(&v, &s);
  printf("File size is %d bytes\n", s);
  ctx->file_size = s;
  return v;
}
 
static Eina_Value
_file_size_err(void *data, Eina_Error err)
{
  fprintf(stderr, "Could not read the file size. Reason: %s\n", eina_error_msg_get(err));
  // Stop propagating the error.
  return EINA_VALUE_EMPTY;
}
 
static void
_future_freed(void *data, const Eina_Future dead)
{
  Ctx *ctx = data;
  printf("Future %p deleted\n", dead);
  ctx->file_size_handler_cb(ctx->file_size);
  free(ctx);
}
 
void do_work(File_Size_Handler_Cb cb)
{
  Ctx *ctx = malloc(sizeof(Ctx));
  ctx->f = get_file_size("/tmp/todo.txt");
  ctx->file_size = -1;
  ctx->file_size_handler_cb = cb;
  eina_future_then_easy(f, _file_size_ok, _file_size_err, _future_freed, EINA_VALUE_TYPE_INT, ctx);
}

Parameters

Variable Documentation

EINA_PROMISE_RACE_STRUCT_DESC

const Eina_Value_Struct_Desc * EINA_PROMISE_RACE_STRUCT_DESC

extern

A pointer to the race struct description, which is used by eina_promise_race_array().

This struct contains two members:

• value: An EINA_VALUE_TYPE_VALUE that contains the future result that won the race.
• index: An EINA_VALUE_TYPE_UINT that contains the future index that won the race.
