  41  **** Background
  42  *
  43  * This implements a way to send and receive event for an object (which can be
  44  * a simple C struct or less).
  45  *
  46  * This is in direct concurrency with the Variable based Callback
  47  * (see src/misc/variables.c).
  48  *
  49  * It has the following advantages over Variable based Callback:
  50  * - No need to implement the whole VLC_COMMON_MEMBERS in the object,
  51  * thus it reduce it size. This is especially true for input_item_t which
  52  * doesn't have VLC_COMMON_MEMBERS. This is the first reason of existence of
  53  * this implementation.
  54  * - Libvlc can easily be based upon that.
  55  * - Existing event are clearly declared (in include/vlc_events.h)
  56  *
  57  *
