Detailed Description

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ GNC_EVENT_ITEM_ADDED

#define GNC_EVENT_ITEM_ADDED QOF_MAKE_EVENT(QOF_EVENT_BASE+0)

These events are used when a split is added to an account.

The event subject is the Account, the Object is the Split.

Definition at line 45 of file gnc-event.h.

◆ QOF_EVENT_BASE

#define QOF_EVENT_BASE 8

Allow scope for more defaults in future.

Additional event identifiers must be based on this when using QOF_MAKE_EVENT().

Definition at line 62 of file qofevent.h.

◆ QOF_EVENT_NONE

#define QOF_EVENT_NONE (0)

Default events for backwards compatibility.

These defaults merely replicate previous behaviour, any process can define their own events.

Note: events 5, 6, and 7 are "undefined" as of v0.6.3 for future libqof1 or libqof2 usage.

Definition at line 72 of file qofevent.h.

◆ QOF_MAKE_EVENT

#define QOF_MAKE_EVENT ( x ) (1<<(x))

Allow application-specific events to be created.

Used together with QOF_EVENT_BASE to simplify creation of application events without interfering with any new events added within QOF.

#define APP_EVENT_A QOF_MAKE_EVENT(QOF_EVENT_BASE+0)
#define APP_EVENT_B QOF_MAKE_EVENT(QOF_EVENT_BASE+1)

Definition at line 58 of file qofevent.h.

Typedef Documentation

◆ QofEventHandler

typedef void(* QofEventHandler) (QofInstance *ent, QofEventId event_type, gpointer handler_data, gpointer event_data)

Handler invoked when an event is generated.

Parameters

ent	Entity generating the event
event_type	The id of the event, including additional identifiers and the older defaults.
handler_data	data supplied when handler was registered.
event_data	data to be supplied when handler is invoked.

Definition at line 89 of file qofevent.h.

◆ QofEventId

typedef gint QofEventId

Define the type of events allowed.

Definition at line 45 of file qofevent.h.

Function Documentation

◆ qof_event_gen()

void qof_event_gen	(	QofInstance *	entity,
		QofEventId	event_type,
		gpointer	event_data
	)

Invoke all registered event handlers using the given arguments.

Certain default events are used by QOF:

QOF_EVENT_DEFAULT_CREATE events should be generated after the object has been created and registered in the engine entity table.
QOF_EVENT_DEFAULT_MODIFY events should be generated whenever any data member or submember (i.e., splits) is changed.
QOF_EVENT_DEFAULT_DESTROY events should be called before the object has been destroyed or removed from the entity table.

Any other events are entirely the concern of the application.

Note
QofEventHandler routines do NOT support generating events from a GncGUID and QofIdType - you must specify a genuine QofInstance.

Parameters

entity the entity generating the event

event_type the name of the event.

event_data Data to be passed to the event handler just for this one event. Can be NULL.

Definition at line 231 of file qofevent.cpp.

 {
     if (!entity)
         return;
 
     if (suspend_counter)
         return;
 
     qof_event_generate_internal (entity, event_id, event_data);
 }

◆ qof_event_register_handler()

gint qof_event_register_handler	(	QofEventHandler	handler,
		gpointer	handler_data
	)

Register a handler for events.

Parameters

handler	handler to register
handler_data	data provided when handler is invoked

Returns: id identifying handler

Definition at line 73 of file qofevent.cpp.

 {
     HandlerInfo *hi;
     gint handler_id;
 
     ENTER ("(handler=%p, data=%p)", handler, user_data);
 
     /* sanity check */
     if (!handler)
     {
         PERR ("no handler specified");
         return 0;
     }
 
     /* look for a free handler id */
     handler_id = find_next_handler_id();
 
     /* Found one, add the handler */
     hi = g_new0 (HandlerInfo, 1);
 
     hi->handler = handler;
     hi->user_data = user_data;
     hi->handler_id = handler_id;
 
     handlers = g_list_prepend (handlers, hi);
     LEAVE ("(handler=%p, data=%p) handler_id=%d", handler, user_data, handler_id);
     return handler_id;
 }

◆ qof_event_resume()

void qof_event_resume ( void )

Resume engine event generation.

Definition at line 156 of file qofevent.cpp.

 {
     if (suspend_counter == 0)
     {
         PERR ("suspend counter underflow");
         return;
     }
 
     suspend_counter--;
 }

◆ qof_event_suspend()

void qof_event_suspend ( void )

Suspend all engine events.

This function may be called multiple times. To resume event generation, an equal number of calls to qof_event_resume must be made.

Definition at line 145 of file qofevent.cpp.

 {
     suspend_counter++;
 
     if (suspend_counter == 0)
     {
         PERR ("suspend counter overflow");
     }
 }

◆ qof_event_unregister_handler()

void qof_event_unregister_handler ( gint handler_id )

Unregister an event handler.

Parameters

handler_id the id of the handler to unregister

Definition at line 103 of file qofevent.cpp.

 {
     GList *node;
 
     ENTER ("(handler_id=%d)", handler_id);
     for (node = handlers; node; node = node->next)
     {
         HandlerInfo *hi = static_cast<HandlerInfo*>(node->data);
 
         if (hi->handler_id != handler_id)
             continue;
 
         /* Normally, we could actually remove the handler's node from the
            list, but we may be unregistering the event handler as a result
            of a generated event, such as QOF_EVENT_DESTROY.  In that case,
            we're in the middle of walking the GList and it is wrong to
            modify the list. So, instead, we just NULL the handler. */
         if (hi->handler)
             LEAVE ("(handler_id=%d) handler=%p data=%p", handler_id,
                    hi->handler, hi->user_data);
 
         /* safety -- clear the handler in case we're running events now */
         hi->handler = NULL;
 
         if (handler_run_level == 0)
         {
             handlers = g_list_remove_link (handlers, node);
             g_list_free_1 (node);
             g_free (hi);
         }
         else
         {
             pending_deletes++;
         }
 
         return;
     }
 
     PERR ("no such handler: %d", handler_id);
 }
