Any "module" can + * register as an observer or notifier. The notion of "module" is abstract and + * can mean anything used to identify either an observer or notifier. Usually + * it will be a pointer to a data structure which contains some state, ie an + * object. + * + * Before any notifiers can be added, the global notification manager must be + * brought up with dwc_alloc_notification_manager(). + * dwc_free_notification_manager() will bring it down and free all resources. + * These would typically be called upon module load and unload. The + * notification manager is a single global instance that handles all registered + * observable modules and observers so this should be done only once. + * + * A module can be observable by using Notifications to publicize some general + * information about it's state or operation. It does not care who listens, or + * even if anyone listens, or what they do with the information. The observable + * modules do not need to know any information about it's observers or their + * interface, or their state or data. + * + * Any module can register to emit Notifications. It should publish a list of + * notifications that it can emit and their behavior, such as when they will get + * triggered, and what information will be provided to the observer. Then it + * should register itself as an observable module. See dwc_register_notifier(). + * + * Any module can observe any observable, registered module, provided it has a + * handle to the other module and knows what notifications to observe. See + * dwc_add_observer(). + * + * A function of type dwc_notifier_callback_t is called whenever a notification + * is triggered with one or more observers observing it. This function is + * called in it's own process so it may sleep or block if needed. It is + * guaranteed to be called sometime after the notification has occurred and will + * be called once per each time the notification is triggered. It will NOT be + * called in the same process context used to trigger the notification. + * + * @section Limitiations + * + * Keep in mind that Notifications that can be triggered in rapid sucession may + * schedule too many processes too handle. Be aware of this limitation when + * designing to use notifications, and only add notifications for appropriate + * observable information. + * + * Also Notification callbacks are not synchronous. If you need to synchronize + * the behavior between module/observer you must use other means. And perhaps + * that will mean Notifications are not the proper solution. + */ + +struct dwc_notifier; +typedef struct dwc_notifier dwc_notifier_t; + +/** The callback function must be of this type. + * + * @param object This is the object that is being observed. + * @param notification This is the notification that was triggered. + * @param observer This is the observer + * @param notification_data This is notification-specific data that the notifier + * has included in this notification.
