Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added modern event dispatching APIs that support move-only callbacks and context-aware execution.
    • Preserved existing scheduling APIs for compatibility while marking them as deprecated.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved callback handling during worker-thread shutdown and deferred event processing.
    • Preserved context validity checks before dispatch and callback execution.
  • Tests

    • Updated event, input, clipboard, Wayland, XCB, and related test flows to use the new dispatching behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

EventDispatcher now queues move-only callbacks through dispatch APIs. Existing schedule APIs remain as deprecated compatibility wrappers. Production code and tests migrate callback submission to dispatch.

Changes

EventDispatcher migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add move-only dispatch APIs
src/lib/fcitx-utils/eventdispatcher.*
The event queue now stores std::move_only_function<void()>. dispatch and dispatchWithContext provide move-only and forwarding callable interfaces. Deprecated schedule wrappers preserve compatibility.
Migrate production dispatchers
src/modules/clipboard/*, src/modules/wayland/*, src/modules/xcb/*
Worker shutdown, event wake-up, task removal, seat refresh, and deferred diagnosis now use dispatch.
Update dispatcher and integration tests
test/eventlooptests.cpp, test/testcompose.cpp, test/testeventdispatcher.cpp, test/testinputcontext.cpp, test/testinstance.cpp, test/testquickphrase.cpp, test/testspell.cpp, test/testtempmode.cpp, test/testunicode.cpp, test/testxim.cpp
Tests now submit standard callbacks with dispatch and verify null callback handling through the new API. Context-aware scheduling tests remain unchanged.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d0280

Empty scheduled callbacks may now throw std::bad_function_call during event dispatch instead of simply waking the event loop, which can disrupt runtime event processing; this bounded correctness issue should be fixed before merging.

🌐 Web query:

In C++23, when std::move_only_function is constructed from an empty std::function, does it remain engaged and does invoking it call std::function::operator(), which throws std::bad_function_call?

💡 Result:

In C++23, constructing a std::move_only_function from an empty std::function results in a move_only_function that is engaged (i.e., it is not empty) [1][2]. The std::move_only_function constructor will treat the empty std::function as a callable target [1][2]. Consequently, the newly constructed std::move_only_function holds the empty std::function object as its target [1]. Invoking this move_only_function will execute the stored std::function object's operator [3][4]. Because the stored std::function is empty, calling its operator will result in a std::bad_function_call exception, consistent with the behavior of std::function [5][6]. This behavior contrasts with what would happen if the std::move_only_function were empty itself; unlike std::function, invoking an empty std::move_only_function results in undefined behavior rather than throwing an exception [5][6]. However, in your scenario, the std::move_only_function is successfully constructed as a non-empty container, and the subsequent call to the stored, empty std::function is what triggers the standard exception [5][1][6].

Preserve empty schedule callbacks.

When the dispatcher is attached, an empty std::function converts to an engaged std::move_only_function. dispatchEvent() invokes it, and the stored empty std::function throws std::bad_function_call instead of only waking the event loop. Check for emptiness before conversion and dispatch an empty move-only callback.
