Detailed Description

This group of functions is applied to an Ecore_Buffer_Provider object.

Ecore_Buffer_Provider provides Ecore_Buffer to Ecore_Buffer_Consumer(usually different process or thread from Ecore_Buffer_Provider). Ecore_Buffer_Provider should creates Ecore_Buffer as a provider.

Function Documentation

ecore_buffer_provider_new()

EAPI Ecore_Buffer_Provider* ecore_buffer_provider_new

(

const char *

name

)

Creates a new Buffer Provider based on name.

Since

1.15

Parameters

[in]

name

The name of Buffer_Queue.

Returns

Ecore_Buffer_Provider instance or NULL if creation failed.

References DBG, EINA_SAFETY_ON_NULL_RETURN_VAL, and ERR.

ecore_buffer_provider_free()

EAPI void ecore_buffer_provider_free

(

Ecore_Buffer_Provider *

provider

)

Frees an Ecore_Buffer_Provider.

Since

1.15

Parameters

[in]

provider

The Ecore_Buffer_Provider to free

This frees up any memory used by the Ecore_Buffer_Provider.

References DBG, EINA_LIST_FOREACH, and EINA_SAFETY_ON_NULL_RETURN.

ecore_buffer_provider_buffer_acquire()

EAPI Ecore_Buffer_Return ecore_buffer_provider_buffer_acquire	(	Ecore_Buffer_Provider *	provider,
		Ecore_Buffer **	ret_buf
	)

Returns the Ecore_Buffer released by consumer or State of Queue.

Since

1.15

Parameters

[in]	provider	The Ecore_Buffer_Provider to request for buffer
[out]	ret_buf	A Pointer to the Ecore_Buffer

Returns

The enumeration of Ecore_Buffer_Return to indicate result of Dequeuing.

This function gives you drawable buffer and inform you the state of Queue. Each return value of enumeration has meaning as below.

• ECORE_BUFFER_RETURN_ERROR, means error occurred.
• ECORE_BUFFER_RETURN_SUCCESS, means success to dequeue, therefore ret_buf is valid.
• ECORE_BUFFER_RETURN_EMPTY, means queue is empty, not available slot in Queue. in other words, there is no free drawable buffer in Queue.
• ECORE_BUFFER_RETURN_NEED_ALLOC, means that there is available slot, but not allocated. so, You may create new Ecore_Buffer, and then just enqueue the Ecore_Buffer.

ecore_buffer_new(), ecore_buffer_provider_buffer_enqueue()

References DBG, EINA_SAFETY_ON_NULL_RETURN_VAL, and ERR.

ecore_buffer_provider_buffer_enqueue()

EAPI Eina_Bool ecore_buffer_provider_buffer_enqueue	(	Ecore_Buffer_Provider *	provider,
		Ecore_Buffer *	buffer
	)

Submits the Ecore_Buffer to Consumer to request compositing.

Since

1.15

Parameters

[in]	provider	The Ecore_Buffer_Provider connected with consumer.
[in]	buffer	The Ecore_Buffer to submit

Returns

EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE otherwise.

This function allow you to submit the Ecore_Buffer to consumer to request compositing. And this will be success, in case only you submit dequeued Ecore_Buffer, and new Ecore_Buffer after received return value of ECORE_BUFFER_RETURN_NEED_ALLOC by ecore_buffer_provider_buffer_acquire().

ecore_buffer_provider_buffer_acquirable_check()

EAPI Ecore_Buffer_Return ecore_buffer_provider_buffer_acquirable_check

(

Ecore_Buffer_Provider *

provider

)

Checks if state of queue.

Since

1.15

Parameters

[in]

provider

The Ecore_Buffer_Provider to query

• ECORE_BUFFER_RETURN_NOT_EMPTY, means there is a dequeueable Ecore_Buffer at least one.
• ECORE_BUFFER_RETURN_EMPTY, means queue is empty, not available slot in Queue. in other words, there is no free drawable buffer in Queue.
• ECORE_BUFFER_RETURN_NEED_ALLOC, means that there is available slot, but not allocated. so, You may create new Ecore_Buffer, and then just enqueue the Ecore_Buffer.

Returns

EINA_TRUE means queue is empty, EINA_FALSE otherwise.

ecore_buffer_provider_consumer_add_cb_set()

EAPI void ecore_buffer_provider_consumer_add_cb_set	(	Ecore_Buffer_Provider *	provider,
		Ecore_Buffer_Provider_Consumer_Add_Cb	func,
		void *	data
	)

Sets a callback for consumer connection events.

Since

1.15

Parameters

[in]	provider	The Ecore_Buffer_Provider to set callbacks on
[in]	func	The function to call
[in]	data	A pointer to the user data to store.

A call to this function will set a callback on an Ecore_Buffer_Provider, causing func to be called whenever provider is connected with consumer.

References EINA_SAFETY_ON_NULL_RETURN.

ecore_buffer_provider_consumer_del_cb_set()

EAPI void ecore_buffer_provider_consumer_del_cb_set	(	Ecore_Buffer_Provider *	provider,
		Ecore_Buffer_Provider_Consumer_Del_Cb	func,
		void *	data
	)

Sets a callback for consumer disconnection events.

Since

1.15

Parameters

[in]	provider	The Ecore_Buffer_Provider to set callbacks on
[in]	func	The function to call
[in]	data	A pointer to the user data to store.

A call to this function will set a callback on an Ecore_Buffer_Provider, causing func to be called whenever provider is disconnected with consumer.

References EINA_SAFETY_ON_NULL_RETURN.

ecore_buffer_provider_buffer_released_cb_set()

EAPI void ecore_buffer_provider_buffer_released_cb_set	(	Ecore_Buffer_Provider *	provider,
		Ecore_Buffer_Provider_Enqueue_Cb	func,
		void *	data
	)

Sets a callback for released buffer events.

Since

1.15

Parameters

[in]	provider	The Ecore_Buffer_Provider to set callbacks on
[in]	func	The function to call
[in]	data	A pointer to the user data to store.

A call to this function will set a callback on an Ecore_Buffer_Provider, causing func to be called whenever provider has received Ecore_Buffer released from provider.

You may success dequeue the Ecore_Buffer after this callback called.
