This still has the unwanted side effect off blocking the Map thread
waiting for the workers to return (because they hold a reference
to the Map thread main loop).
Maybe the only way to solve this would be having a I/O thread for
dispatching messages.
The Request is not bound anymore to the invoker thread because the workers
will request for glyphs, but the reply will arrive at the Map thread.
Thread<T> is a generic thread management object that starts a thread, creates an object T in that thread and calls its .start() function. When the Thread<T> object is destructed (which must happen in the thread that created it), it'll call the object's .stop() function, and wait for thread termination. The .stop() function must somehow get the thread to terminate. Note that object T's constructor/destructor/start()/stop() must be protected/private, and Thread<T> must be declared as a friend class. All public functions may be called from any thread and are exposed through operator->().
RunLoop encapsulates a libuv runloop and has a facility of dispatching function objects to the thread. It can be used either as a worker thread class by itself, or it can be derived from. This commit converts SQLiteCache to derive from RunLoop and removes the custom code used previously for managing the cache thread.
- catch SQLite exceptions and report them
- failed statements are ignored, we're really just caching here, so if it fails we're handling it gracefully elsewhere
- handle cases where the database file goes away after we opened it
- handle cases where the schema wasn't created after the database file was opened successfully
- add tests
we are now scoping all file requests to an environment object. The FileSource implementation treats
this as an opaque pointer, but allows canceling all Requests that are associated with that pointer.
This is necessary to abort all file requests that originated from a particular Map object. Aborting
a file request is different from canceling a file request: A canceled request doesn't have its
callback called, while an aborted request will have its callback called with an error, indicating
that the environment is going to be shut down.
