This is logically cleaner and it begins preparing our next set
of restructuring changes. To wit: we're revamping the device
manager to distinguish between devices and their roles.
Async: Use new [Non]PostedAsyncCont and callOriginalCb
This new hierarchy of classes gives us a central mechanism for
managing both reply-posting and lockSpec unlocking.
* callOriginalCb: Now uses a modern C++ variadic template design
enabling it to handle both direct calling and std::bind()
re-binding of an arbitrary number of arguments from the caller.
This enables us to mostly eliminate the repeated, bespoke
definitions of callOriginalCb littered throughout the codebase.
We've also propagated these changes throughout the codebase in
this patch.
They are posted to Marionette.
* We also fixed callOriginCb invocations;
* Also made posted CBs use std::bind instead of greedily
early-invoking the CB on the servicing thread's stack.
This makes the initialization sequence much cleaner and conceptually
well encapsulated.
We also now dynamically allocate the Mind objects. They're allocated
dynamically by Mrntt inside of initializeReq. This means that we no
longer have to worry about jolting and cleaning up the running threads
of global mind object even when we never explicitly called
Mind.initializeReq.
Along with other conceptual improvements to our abstractions, this
patch also gets us to a real "end of program initialization" point
for the first time.
This is the culmination of a lot of changes over the last week. We're
making SMO basically fully async in many areas, and then preparing to
implement the spinqueueing mechanism for locking.
This language is used broadly to specify how to attach (and thus
also how to detach) devices to/from Salmanoff. The next bit of work
we'll do is split off the DSL parsing from the management of the
list of parsed binary attached spec objects.
We'll be creating a PipeDeviceAttachmentParser, and later on when
we support URDF, we'll create a URDFDeviceAttachmentParser.
