I've looked at gadget_test/e_mod_main.c, and it looks good to me so far. I like how it really simplifies things. A real test IMOHO though, would be to use one of the existing simple modules (desktop name? or one simpler?), as the real test bed. It will be a more compelling example, and bugs/oversights will show up faster. What do you think?
Overall, I think module development just got one huge step in the fun department, and we can optimize away e_gadget.c to our hearts content... thnx Brian.

Currently, every single module that draws to the desktop is pretty much just a copy/paste/edit of one of the original few modules. To avoid this mess of duplicated code, I pooled a good portion of it together into E_Gadget. Basically, you just have to create an E_Gadget, and provide a few callback functions. What I have so far is by no means complete, and has a few issues (i set gadman defaults AFTER the init callback, so there is no easy way to override them. this will be fixed shortly). You can take a look at src/modules/gadget_test/e_mod_main.c for an example module (just displays an edje and sets up some dummy menus that do nothing). Anyway, this should make things much simpler. Any input is welcome, and the API is by no means fixed. I'm thinking about passing in a struct of function pointers to the _new() function instead of each individually. That way we could add new callbacks without API breakage. Take a look, and let me know what you think. -- rephorm ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
