6 | Seeing that a very precise hook call ordering is needed when processing events |
7 | (especially the order for calling state update hooks and event delivery hooks), |
8 | this document defines a new type and interface that permits to merge all kind of |
9 | hooks, eventually sorted by the priority associated to them. |

11 | - Type LttvHooks with priorities |
12 | |
13 | This is a modification to the actual LttvHooks that associates a priority with |
14 | each hook. The container for this type would be a garray, just like hook.c, but |
15 | a lttv_hooks_prio_sort would be called every time a hook is added to a list. It |
16 | would sort the hooks in a hook list by priority : from highest priority (-19) to |
17 | lowest (20). The default priority is 0. |
18 | |
19 | In order to make lttv_hooks_call aware of the different kind of hooks it has to |
20 | call, the LttvHooksById will be modified to integrate a new "main" list : a |
21 | pointer to a LttvHooks that will be called for any Id. |
22 | |
23 | A new lttv_hooks_by_id_call that will get the hooks from the main and by_id |
24 | lists in the right order will deal with the multiple lists priority problem. |
