Detailed Description

A SPA Hook is a data structure to keep track of callbacks.

It is similar to the Interfaces and typically used where an implementation allows for multiple external callback functions. For example, an implementation may use a hook list to implement signals with each caller using a hook to register callbacks to be invoked on those signals.

The below (pseudo)code is a minimal example outlining the use of hooks:

// the public interface
#define VERSION_BAR_EVENTS 0 // version of the vtable
struct bar_events {
   uint32_t version; // NOTE: an integral member named `version`
                     //       must be present in the vtable
   void (*boom)(void *data, const char *msg);
};
 
// private implementation
struct party {
    struct spa_hook_list bar_list;
};
 
void party_add_event_listener(struct party *p, struct spa_hook *listener,
                              const struct bar_events *events, void *data)
{
   spa_hook_list_append(&p->bar_list, listener, events, data);
}
 
static void party_on(struct party *p)
{
    // NOTE: this is a macro, it evaluates to an integer,
    //       which is the number of hooks called
    spa_hook_list_call(&p->list,
                       struct bar_events, // vtable type
                       boom,              // function name
                       0,                 // hardcoded version,
                                          //     usually the version in which `boom`
                                          //     has been added to the vtable
                       "party on, wayne"  // function argument(s)
                       );
}

In the caller, the hooks can be used like this:

static void boom_cb(void *data, const char *msg) {
     // data is userdata from main()
     printf("%s", msg);
}
 
static const struct bar_events events = {
   .version = VERSION_BAR_EVENTS, // version of the implemented interface
   .boom = boom_cb,
};
 
void main(void) {
     void *userdata = whatever;
     struct spa_hook hook;
     struct party *p = start_the_party();
 
     party_add_event_listener(p, &hook, &events, userdata);
 
     mainloop();
     return 0;
}
