Wrap the CameraManager with a PyCameraManager class and move the related
code inside the new class.

This helps understanding the life times of the used-to-be global
variables, gets rid of static handleRequestCompleted function, and
allows us to simplify the binding code as the more complex pieces are
inside the class.

There should be no user visible functional changes.

Note that attaching to requestCompleted signal is a bit funny, as
apparently the only way to use a lambda with a signal is to provide an
object instance pointer as the first parameter, even if there's really
no instance.

Is this blocking? Does it need any kind of time out of cancellation
support? (What happens if a ctrl-c happens while blocked here etc..)

Trivial spacing is wrong here on the last line.

Hrm ... should this tie in to throwing a python error to generate a
python backtrace or such too ?

It certainly shouldn't happen though indeed so ... it probably doesn't
matter too much now.

Aha, I was going to ask about locking up in
PyCameraManager::handleRequestCompleted but now I see it's handled ...

In a separate patch I'd set at least the EFD_CLOEXEC flag.

You could use the UniqueFD class for eventFd_, this could when then
disappear. Same for the destructor.

s/getCameras()/cameras()/ ?

Line wrap.

We usually try not to shorten names too much. s/c/camera/ would read
nicely.

I expect this to be rework in the next patches of the series, but maybe
some of these concerns could be addressed already.

You can make getRequests() return the vector instead of passing it as a
reference, and then even do

	for (Request *req : getRequests()) {

We can't, as this isn't run from the Python thread.

Could you use the MutexLocker class ? That gives us access to
thread-safety annotations.

CameraManager isn't meant to be inherited from (I'm surprised it's not
marked as final). You can keep this for now, but we should soon switch
to encapsulating the CameraManager instead.

Mutex instead of std::mutex, and s/reqlist_mutex_/requestsListMutex_/
(or similar). You can also call it just lock_, and use the
LIBCAMERA_TSA_ macros to annotate the fields it protects, that's even
more explicit.

So the following didn't work ?

			self.requestCompleted.connect(cm.get(), &PyCameraManager::handleRequestCompleted);

? I can investigate.

Hmm interesting, it was indented with spaces, but no tool complained

This is called in a callback from libcamera, in non-Python thread. We 
could possibly set some flag, and then react to that flag when the 
Python thread handles the events. But... This should really never 
happen, so I think that's not needed.

Ah, I forgot to remove the XXX. It's not really a todo or even a 
warning. Just a reminder if hitting odd problems with object lifetimes. 
I think I got those fixed with this series, but it doesn't hurt to keep 
the comment so that I remember the next time =).

Yep. I'll do that in a separate patch, as here I'm just trying to move

I take it the concern was about ctrl-c, and that works?

Hmm that may be problematic. At the moment if there's a CameraManager 
pointer, the pybind11 bindings can easily convert that instance to a 
Python instance. But if we encapsulate it, that's no longer the case, as 
you need something extra to associate the CameraManager pointer to the 
encapsulating class.

I tried to do that with Cameras at some point (trying to sort out the 
destructor issue), but I didn't get it working. Maybe I'll try again 
with CameraManager this time.

I didn't try that. I don't think what you have above is the same. Note 
that in my version I store a shared_ptr<CameraManager> to make sure it 
stays alive.

The issue I had (which I asked about in the chat) was in the "New event 
handling", when connecting the cameraAdded signal.

With copy elision the vector returned by getRequest() will not be copied.

Given that both the CameraManager and the PyCameraManager can only be
instantiated once, the Python code could unconditionally use the
PyCameraManager, without ever using the CameraManager pointer directly.
Do we even have any event that passes the CameraManager as an argument ?
For Camera instances we do, so that's indeed more problematic.

Is there a way we could avoid that ?

I recall you had trouble receiving the cameraAdded signal even when
testing with cam, due to udev support being disabled. Have you retested
after fixing that ?

Right. But when is copy elision done? Reading 
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/copy_elision doesn't make it 
clear either, as it's a lot of rules and changes in each C++ version.

I'm sure the answer is there, my point is just that when I write code, 
it's often not obvious when a copy will be made, or will possibly be 
made, or will never be made. So I go with the safe way.

Afaik it should be possible with Cameras too, but, as I mentioned, I 
never got it working. I'll try again, CameraManager should be easier as 
you say.

Probably. The life-time questions are difficult, especially with Python 
bindings. But I think we can never get requestCompleted signal if the 
camera is not alive, and if the camera is alive, the camera manager must 
be alive, so we should be able to just use the CameraManager pointer.

Yes. And as I said, the signal works fine when I use a plain function. 
But, for whatever reason, I was not able to get connecting with a lambda 
or an object method working.

I agree it's a bit hard to follow :-) There's copy elision, and return
value optimization (RVO), and their behaviour change based on the C++
version. In practice, C++17 introduced mandatory RVO, you should have a
guarantee that the above code will use copy elision and avoid
unnecessary copies.
