  40 /*
  41  **** Background
  42  *
  43  * This implements a way to send and receive event for an object (which can be
  44  * a simple C struct or less).
  45  *
  46  * This is in direct concurrency with the Variable based Callback
  47  * (see src/misc/variables.c).
  48  *
  49  * It has the following advantages over Variable based Callback:
  50  * - No need to implement the whole VLC_COMMON_MEMBERS in the object,
  51  * thus it reduce it size. This is especially true for input_item_t which
  52  * doesn't have VLC_COMMON_MEMBERS. This is the first reason of existence of
  53  * this implementation.
  54  * - Libvlc can easily be based upon that.
  55  * - Existing event are clearly declared (in include/vlc_events.h)
  56  *
  57  *
  58  **** Example usage
  59  *
  60  * (vlc_cool_object_t doesn't need to have the VLC_COMMON_MEMBERS.)
  61  *
  62  * struct vlc_cool_object_t

  66  *        ...
  67  * }
  68  *
  69  * vlc_my_cool_object_new()
  70  * {
  71  *        ...
  72  *        vlc_event_manager_init( &p_self->p_event_manager, p_self, p_a_libvlc_object );
  73  *        vlc_event_manager_register_event_type(p_self->p_event_manager,
  74  *                vlc_MyCoolObjectDidSomething, p_e)
  75  *        ...
  76  * }
  77  *
  78  * vlc_my_cool_object_release()
  79  * {
  80  *         ...
  81  *         vlc_event_manager_fini( &p_self->p_event_manager );
  82  *         ...
  83  * }
  84  *
  85  * vlc_my_cool_object_do_something()
  86  * {
  87  *        ...
