/* An observer is an entity who is interested in being notified when GDB
reaches certain states, or certain events occur in GDB. The entity being
observed is called the Subject. To receive notifications, the observer
attaches a callback to the subject. One subject can have several
observers.
This file implements an internal generic low-level event notification
mechanism based on the Observer paradigm described in the book "Design
Patterns". This generic event notification mechansim is then re-used
to implement the exported high-level notification management routines
for all possible notifications.
The current implementation of the generic observer provides support
for contextual data. This contextual data is given to the subject
when attaching the callback. In return, the subject will provide
this contextual data back to the observer as a parameter of the
callback.
FIXME: The current support for the contextual data is only partial,
as it lacks a mechanism that would deallocate this data when the
callback is detached. This is not a problem so far, as this contextual
data is only used internally to hold a function pointer. Later on,
if a certain observer needs to provide support for user-level
contextual data, then the generic notification mechanism will need
need to be enhanced to allow the observer to provide a routine to
deallocate the data when attaching the callback.
This file is currently maintained by hand, but the long term plan
if the number of different notifications starts growing is to create
a new script (observer.sh) that would generate this file, and the
associated documentation. */
