Now we have modularized the Mind class to contain all of its
ComponentThreads. This enables us to run multiple mind instances
within the same SMO process, at least in theory.
We probably won't actually do this, but we want to ensure that the
design is clean enough to enable it.
This commit significantly restructures the way we setup threading in
SMO. We now don't use the CRT main() thread at all. It's only used
as a mechanism to ensure that Marionette doesn't execute before
global constructors have been executed.
JOLTing:
This is a simple ASIO post()ed message that makes each thread setup
its thread-local data pointer to its own ComponentThread object,
and then enter its main ASIO run() loop to await commands from
Marionette.
Exception bubbling:
We now cleanly cause mind threads to report their exceptions
to marionette, so that marionette can cleanly shut the mind down
in an orderly fashion.
Thread Control messaging API:
A namespace of asynchronous messages to be post()ed to threads to
control them. It enables us to pause and resume threads. This will
be very useful for Marionette when we add the ability for it to
suspend Salmanoff's running mind, inject new goals, inspect current
state, etc; and then resume the mind's execution.
We decided to get rid of the C FFI for libs. It was becoming too intricate
and complicated. It was becoming a technical burden and expanding into
too much extra code. It's unfortunate, but we'll have to give up on getting
out-of-tree hot-loadable libraries the easy way.
It's possible to still do it with cross compilation or by keeping track
of the libstdc++ version that the running harikoff binary was compiled
against. Then we can ensure that our loadable lib code is linked against
that same libstdc++ code and this should ensure ABI stability.
* Renamed some of the Sense API lib classes
(CSensorDeviceDesc=>CSenseDeviceDesc,
SensorDeviceDesc=>SenseDeviceDesc).
* Moved SenseApiDesc into /include/user/senseApiDesc.
* Add conversion constructor to convert from SenseDeviceDesc
to
* Wireframe mlo_initializeInd to call xcb_connect().
* Add $(XCB_LIBS) to libxcbXorg_LDFLAGS.
* Wireframe mlo_attachDeviceReq().
Also, SenseApiDesc: initializeInd() now takes void. We no longer
try to pass a struct of marionette-role ops into the libs. We'll
be using message queueing for the handshake side of async calls now.
Next step is to get the unified event loops working generically
and then we can begin region-splitting up the data in harikoff.
We'll assign all the global resource managers to Marionette and
then assign the Mind components to the respective component threads.
We introduce the 4 main component threads of execution for Harikoff:
* Marionette: This is the resident hijacking module that makes Harikoff
instances non-persons, if configured to allow hijacking.
* Director: :)
* Canvas: :)
* Subconscious: DB, storage and recall.
* OptionsParser now has a singleton.
* We now use the cmdline opt -p <senseApiLibPath>, and search for
the specified library in:
* senseApiLibPath, then CWD, then the place where our executable
is running from, and then finally we let the hosting OS do
its own search.
* We now call dlsym() on dlopen()'d libs to to get the senseApiDescFn
pointer.
The project now builds.
- Updated .vscode/launch.json and .vscode/tasks.json for improved
development workflow
- Modified Makefile.am, configure, and configure.ac for build process
enhancements
- Updated corelogic/Makefile.am and
corelogic/include/sensors/interoceptor.h
- Renamed corelogic/main.cpp to main.cpp for better project organization
