Revert commit 644908c130,
"Garbage-collect SMJS objects before flushing caches."
The extra garbage collections increase the risk of crashing because of
dangling pointers in form_state.ecmascript_obj. I don't think I'll
have time to properly document the bug and backport the fix before
the 0.11.4 release, so I'm reverting the change instead.

Events
|
|
|
|
This file lists the events currently in use, when they are called, what they
|
|
do and what arguments they expect.
|
|
|
|
Events are a mechanism for communication between ELinks parts --- any ELinks
|
|
subsystem (module) can register an event, hook at an event or trigger an event.
|
|
Events are designed to allow transition to a completely message-passing model
|
|
internally, with modules talking to each other through the events.
|
|
|
|
Events are currently used primarily as a generic way to trigger event handlers
|
|
in various scripting backends.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, so far this reference sheet is useful mainly to scripting backends
|
|
developers and also scripting power users - it looks at the C side but usually
|
|
you get most (if not all) of it passed to the hook functions in your scripts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Below is a template showing how to read the event information
|
|
|

Name: bookmark-delete
|
|
Managed By: The bookmarks subsystem
|
|
Triggered When:
|
|
|
|
A bookmark is being deleted.
|
|
|
|
Arguments:
|
|
|
|
struct bookmark *bookmark
|
|
|
|
Description:
|
|
|
|
Currently only used by the tab snapshotting code to avoid a dangling pointer
|
|
should the deleted bookmark be the folder to which it made the last snapshot.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Name: bookmark-move
|
|
Managed By: The bookmarks subsystem
|
|
Triggered When:
|
|
|
|
A bookmark is being moved.
|
|
|
|
Arguments:
|
|
|
|
struct bookmark *bookmark
|
|
struct bookmark *destination
|
|
|
|
Description:
|
|
|
|
The bookmark is moved immediately after the destination bookmark.
|
|
|
|
This is currently only used by the tab snapshotting code, which assumes
|
|
that when a user moves a bookmark, the user does not want the snapshotting
|
|
code to delete it when it makes the next snapshot.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Name: bookmark-update
|
|
Managed By: The bookmarks subsystem
|
|
Triggered When:
|
|
|
|
The user finishes editing a bookmark.
|
|
|
|
Arguments:
|
|
|
|
struct bookmark *bookmark
|
|
unsigned char *new_title
|
|
unsigned char *new_url
|
|
|
|
Description:
|
|
|
|
This is triggered before the new title and URL are assigned to the bookmark.
|
|
Therefore, handlers can get the old title and URL from the bookmark structure
|
|
and the new title and URL from the event arguments.
|
|
|
|
This is currently only used by the tab snapshotting code, which assumes
|
|
that when a user edits a bookmark, the user does not want the snapshotting
|
|
code to delete it when it makes the next snapshot.

Managed By: The scripting subsystem/backends
|
|
Triggered When:

|
|
in the goto URL dialog, loading frames from a frameset (?) etc.
|
|
|
|
Arguments:
|
|
|
|
unsigned char **url, struct session *ses
|
|
|
|

If @url is changed the event propagation should be ended.
|
|
Valid values for @url includes:
|
|
- leaving @url unchanged if the original URL should be followed;
|
|
- NULL if no URL should be followed; or
|
|
- a dynamically allocated new URL to be followed instead.

|
|
Arguments:
|
|
|
|
None

Name: get-proxy
|
|
Managed By: The scripting subsystem/backends
|
|
Triggered When:
|
|
|
|
Determining what proxy, if any, should be used to load a requested URL.
|
|
|
|
Arguments:
|
|
|
|
unsigned char **new_proxy_url, unsigned char *url
|
|
|
|
Description:
|
|
|
|
Possible values for @new_proxy_url includes:
|
|
- a dynamically allocated string with the format proxy:port;
|
|
- an empty string (dynamically allocated!) to use no proxy; or
|
|

|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Name: goto-url
|
|
Managed By: The scripting subsystem/backends
|
|
Triggered When:
|
|
|
|
The user enters something into the goto URL dialog.
|
|
|
|
Arguments:
|
|
|
|
unsigned char **url, struct session *ses
|
|
|
|
Description:
|
|
|
|
If a URL other than @url should be followed, the old one should be freed
|
|
and the new one should be assigned to @url. @url must not be assigned
|
|
NULL and must remain freeable.
|
|
Valid values for @url are:
|
|
- unchanged, if the original URL should be followed;
|
|
- a new, dynamically allocated URL to be followed instead; or
|
|
- an empty string, if no URL should be followed.
|
|
|
|
@ses is usually used for deciding based on the current URI or for reporting
|
|
potential errors during the hook processing through the UI. With @ses being
|
|
NULL the hook handler should assume no current URI and no suitable UI set up
|
|
(i.e., starting up yet or -dump).
