2024-01-25libcamera: thread: Ensure deferred deletion of all objects before stoppingLaurent Pinchart
Objects can be scheduled for deletion with Object::deleteLater(), which queues a deferred deletion to the thread's event loop. As the deleteLater() function is meant to be called from a different thread, this may race with thread termination, and deferred deletions queued just before calling Thread::exit() may not be processed by the event loop. Make sure they get processed when finishing the thread, before stopping. This eliminates the race condition that occurs when calling Object::deleteLater() followed by Thread::exit() from the same thread. Calling deleteLater() from neither the thread the object is bound to or the thread calling Thread::exit() is still inherently racy. The change fixes a failure in the object-delete unit test.

2024-01-25libcamera: signal: Replace object.h inclusion with forward declatationLaurent Pinchart
The signal.h header doesn't need to include object.h. Replace it with a forward declaration, and instead include object.h in source files that require it. It can speed up compilation a little bit, but more importantly avoids unintended dependencies from the Signal class to the Object class to be added later as the compiler will catch them.

2021-12-01libcamera: base: Add mutex classes with thread safety annotationsHirokazu Honda
This replaces Mutex and MutexLocker with our own defined classes. The classes are annotated by clang thread safety annotations. So we can add annotation to code where the classes are used. v4l2 code needs to be annotated, which violates Mutex capability.

2021-09-02libcamera: Drop emitter object pointer from signal argumentsLaurent Pinchart
Many signals used in internal and public APIs carry the emitter pointer as a signal argument. This was done to allow slots connected to multiple signal instances to differentiate between emitters. While starting from a good intention of facilitating the implementation of slots, it turned out to be a bad API design as the signal isn't meant to know what it will be connected to, and thus shouldn't carry parameters that are solely meant to support a use case specific to the connected slot. These pointers turn out to be unused in all slots but one. In the only case where it is needed, it can be obtained by wrapping the slot in a lambda function when connecting the signal. Do so, and drop the emitter pointer from all signals. Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> Reviewed-by: Umang Jain <umang.jain@ideasonboard.com>
2021-08-09libcamera: Rename 'method' to 'function'Laurent Pinchart
Usage of 'method' to refer to member functions comes from Java. The C++ standard uses the term 'function' only. Replace 'method' with 'function' or 'member function' through the whole code base and documentation. While at it, fix two typos (s/backeng/backend/). The BoundMethod and Object::invokeMethod() are left as-is here, and will be addressed separately.

2021-07-11base: thread: Fix recursive calls to dispatchMessages()Laurent Pinchart
There are use cases for calling the dispatchMessages() function recursively, from within a message handler. This can be used, for instance, to force delivery of messages posted to a thread concurrently to stopping the thread. This currently causes access, in the outer dispatchMessages() call, to iterators that have been invalidated by erasing list elements in the recursive call, leading to undefined behaviour (most likely double-free or other crashes). Fix it by only erasing messages from the list at the end of the outer call, identified using a recursion counter.

Move the functionality for the following components to the new base support library: - BoundMethod - EventDispatcher - EventDispatcherPoll - Log - Message - Object - Signal - Semaphore - Thread - Timer While it would be preferable to see these split to move one component per commit, these components are all interdependent upon each other, which leaves us with one big change performing the move for all of them.
