@brief
    Elements exchanged between \bt_p_comp.

<strong><em>Messages</em></strong> are the objects which are exchanged
between \bt_p_comp in a trace processing \bt_graph to accomplish a
trace processing job.

\bt_cp_msg_iter create messages while message iterators \em and
\bt_p_sink_comp consume messages.

There are eight types of messages:

- \bt_c_sb_msg
- \bt_c_se_msg
- \bt_c_ev_msg
- \bt_c_pb_msg
- \bt_c_pe_msg
- \bt_c_disc_ev_msg
- \bt_c_disc_pkt_msg
- \bt_c_inac_msg

The type of a message is #bt_message.

Get the type enumerator of a message with bt_message_get_type().

A message is a \ref api-fund-shared-object "shared object": get a
new reference with bt_message_get_ref() and put an existing
reference with bt_message_put_ref().

Some library functions \ref api-fund-freezing "freeze" messages on
success. The documentation of those functions indicate this
postcondition.

Messages transport objects of the \ref api-tir API, which is an
intermediate representation of the tracing domain concepts.

All types of messages, except the \bt_inac_msg type, are related to a
specific <em>\bt_stream</em>, which represents a conceptual
\ref api-msg-seq "sequence of messages".

Some types of messages can have a default \bt_cs, depending on whether
or not their stream has a conceptual default clock, that is, whether or
not the stream's \ref api-tir-stream-cls "class" has a
\ref api-tir-stream-cls-prop-def-clock-cls "default clock class".
The creation functions for those types of messages contain
<code>_with_default_clock_snapshot</code> (for example,
bt_message_event_create_with_default_clock_snapshot()).

For the \bt_sb_msg and \bt_se_msg, the default clock snapshot property
is optional, therefore they have dedicated
bt_message_stream_beginning_set_default_clock_snapshot() and
bt_message_stream_end_set_default_clock_snapshot() functions.

All the message creation functions take a \bt_self_msg_iter as their
first parameter. This is because a message iterator method is the only
valid context to create a message.

<h1>Message types</h1>

This section details each type of message.

The following table shows the creation functions and types for each type

<h2>\anchor api-msg-sb Stream beginning message</h2>

A <strong><em>stream beginning message</em></strong> indicates the
beginning of a \bt_stream.

For a given stream:

- A stream beginning message is always the first one in the
  \ref api-msg-seq "message sequence".

- There can be only one stream beginning message.

Create a stream beginning message with
bt_message_stream_beginning_create().

A stream beginning message has the following properties:

<dl>
  <dt>\anchor api-msg-sb-prop-stream Stream</dt>
  <dd>
    \bt_c_stream of which the message indicates the beginning.

    You cannot change the stream once the message is created.

    Borrow a stream beginning message's stream with
    bt_message_stream_beginning_borrow_stream() and
    bt_message_stream_beginning_borrow_stream_const().
  </dd>

  <dt>
    \anchor api-msg-sb-prop-cs
    \bt_dt_opt Default \bt_cs
  </dt>
  <dd>
    Snapshot of the message's \bt_stream's default clock when the
    stream begins.

    A stream beginning message can only have a default clock snapshot
    if its stream's \ref api-tir-stream-cls "class" has a
    \ref api-tir-stream-cls-prop-def-clock-cls "default clock class".

    When a stream beginning message has no default clock snapshot,
    then its time is <em>unknown</em>.

    Set a stream beginning message's default clock snapshot with
    bt_message_stream_beginning_set_default_clock_snapshot().

    Borrow a stream beginning message's default clock snapshot with
    bt_message_stream_beginning_borrow_default_clock_snapshot_const().
  </dd>
</dl>

<h2>\anchor api-msg-se Stream end message</h2>

A <strong><em>stream end message</em></strong> indicates the
end of a \bt_stream.

For a given stream:

- A stream end message is always the last one in the
  \ref api-msg-seq "message sequence".

- There can be only one stream end message.

Create a stream end message with bt_message_stream_end_create().

A stream end message has the following properties:

<dl>
  <dt>\anchor api-msg-se-prop-stream Stream</dt>
  <dd>
    \bt_c_stream of which the message indicates the end.

    You cannot change the stream once the message is created.

    Borrow a stream end message's stream with
    bt_message_stream_end_borrow_stream() and
    bt_message_stream_end_borrow_stream_const().
  </dd>

  <dt>
    \anchor api-msg-se-prop-cs
    \bt_dt_opt Default \bt_cs
  </dt>
  <dd>
    Snapshot of the message's \bt_stream's default clock when the
    stream ends.

    A stream end message can only have a default clock snapshot
    if its stream's \ref api-tir-stream-cls "class" has a
    \ref api-tir-stream-cls-prop-def-clock-cls "default clock class".

    When a stream end message has no default clock snapshot, then its
    time is <em>unknown</em>.

    Set a stream end message's default clock snapshot with
    bt_message_stream_end_set_default_clock_snapshot().

    Borrow a stream end message's default clock snapshot with
    bt_message_stream_end_borrow_default_clock_snapshot_const().
  </dd>
</dl>

<h2>\anchor api-msg-ev Event message</h2>

An <strong><em>event message</em></strong> transports an \bt_ev and has,
possibly, a default \bt_cs.

Within its \bt_stream's \ref api-msg-seq "message sequence", an event
message can only occur:

<dl>
  <dt>
    If the stream's \ref api-tir-stream-cls "class"
    \ref api-tir-stream-cls-prop-supports-pkt "supports packets"
  </dt>
  <dd>After a \bt_pb_msg and before a \bt_pe_msg.</dd>

  <dt>
    If the stream's class does not support packets
  </dt>
  <dd>After the \bt_sb_msg and before the \bt_se_msg.</dd>
</dl>

To create an event message for a given stream, use:

<dl>
  <dt>
    If the stream's \ref api-tir-stream-cls "class"
    \ref api-tir-stream-cls-prop-supports-pkt "supports packets"
  </dt>
  <dd>
    <dl>
      <dt>
        If the stream's class has a
        \ref api-tir-stream-cls-prop-def-clock-cls "default clock class"
      </dt>
      <dd>bt_message_event_create_with_packet_and_default_clock_snapshot()</dd>

      <dt>
        If the stream's class does not have a
        \ref api-tir-stream-cls-prop-def-clock-cls "default clock class"
      </dt>
      <dd>bt_message_event_create_with_packet()</dd>
    </dl>

    Those two creation functions accept a \bt_pkt parameter which is
    the packet logically containing the message's event. A packet is
    part of a stream.
  </dd>

  <dt>
    If the stream's class does not supports packets
  </dt>
  <dd>
    <dl>
      <dt>
        If the stream's class has a default clock class
      </dt>
      <dd>bt_message_event_create_with_default_clock_snapshot()</dd>

      <dt>
        If the stream's class does not have a
        \ref api-tir-stream-cls-prop-def-clock-cls "default clock class"
      </dt>
      <dd>bt_message_event_create()</dd>
    </dl>
  </dd>
</dl>

The four creation functions above accept an \bt_ev_cls parameter. When
you create the message, the library instantiates this event class as an
\bt_ev. Borrow the resulting event with bt_message_event_borrow_event().
This event class must be part of the class of the event message's
stream.

An event message's event is initially <em>not set</em>: before you emit
the event message from a \bt_msg_iter's
\link api-msg-iter-cls-meth-next "next" method\endlink, you need to
borrow each of its \bt_p_field (with bt_event_borrow_payload_field(),
bt_event_borrow_specific_context_field(), and
bt_event_borrow_common_context_field()) and, recursively, set the values
of the all their inner fields.

An event message has the following properties:

<dl>
  <dt>\anchor api-msg-ev-prop-ev Event</dt>
  <dd>
    \bt_c_ev which the message transports.

    This is an instance of the \bt_ev_cls which was passed to the
    message's creation function.

    With this event, you can access its \bt_pkt (if any) with
    bt_event_borrow_packet_const() and its
    \bt_stream with bt_event_borrow_stream_const().

    Borrow an event message's event with bt_message_event_borrow_event()
    and bt_message_event_borrow_event_const().
  </dd>

  <dt>
    \anchor api-msg-ev-prop-cs
    \bt_dt_opt Default \bt_cs
  </dt>
  <dd>
    Snapshot of the message's \bt_stream's default clock when the
    event occurs.

    An event message has a default clock snapshot
    if its stream's \ref api-tir-stream-cls "class" has a
    \ref api-tir-stream-cls-prop-def-clock-cls "default clock class",
    and has none otherwise.

    Within its \bt_msg_iter's \ref api-msg-seq "message sequence",
    the default clock snapshot of an event message must be greater than
    or equal to any default clock snapshot of any previous message.

    Borrow an event message's default clock snapshot with
    bt_message_event_borrow_default_clock_snapshot_const().
  </dd>
</dl>

<h2>\anchor api-msg-pb Packet beginning message</h2>

A <strong><em>packet beginning message</em></strong> indicates the
beginning of a \bt_pkt.

A packet beginning message can only exist if its \bt_stream's
\ref api-tir-stream-cls "class"
\ref api-tir-stream-cls-prop-supports-pkt "supports packets".

For a given packet, there can be only one packet beginning message.

Within its \bt_stream's \ref api-msg-seq "message sequence", a packet
beginning message can only occur after the \bt_sb_msg and before the
\bt_se_msg.

To create a packet beginning message for a given stream, use:

<dl>
  <dt>
    If, for this stream's class,
    \ref api-tir-stream-cls-prop-pkt-beg-cs "packets have a beginning default clock snapshot"
  </dt>
  <dd>bt_message_packet_beginning_create_with_default_clock_snapshot()</dd>

  <dt>
    If, for this stream's class, packets do not have a beginning default
    clock snapshot
  </dt>
  <dd>bt_message_packet_beginning_create()</dd>
</dl>

A packet beginning message has the following properties:

<dl>
  <dt>\anchor api-msg-pb-prop-pkt Packet</dt>
  <dd>
    \bt_c_pkt of which the message indicates the beginning.

    You cannot change the packet once the message is created.

    Borrow a packet beginning message's packet with
    bt_message_packet_beginning_borrow_packet() and
    bt_message_packet_beginning_borrow_packet_const().
  </dd>

  <dt>
    \anchor api-msg-pb-prop-cs
    \bt_dt_opt Default \bt_cs
  </dt>
  <dd>
    Snapshot of the message's \bt_stream's default clock when the
    packet begins.

    A packet beginning message has a default clock snapshot if:

    - Its stream's \ref api-tir-stream-cls "class" has a
      \ref api-tir-stream-cls-prop-def-clock-cls "default clock class".

    - For its stream's class,
      \ref api-tir-stream-cls-prop-pkt-beg-cs "packets have a beginning default clock snapshot".

    Within its \bt_msg_iter's \ref api-msg-seq "message sequence",
    the default clock snapshot of a packet beginning message must be
    greater than or equal to any clock snapshot of any previous message.

    Borrow a packet beginning message's default clock snapshot with
    bt_message_packet_beginning_borrow_default_clock_snapshot_const().
  </dd>
</dl>

<h2>\anchor api-msg-pe Packet end message</h2>

A <strong><em>packet end message</em></strong> indicates the
end of a \bt_pkt.

A packet end message can only exist if its \bt_stream's
\ref api-tir-stream-cls "class"
\ref api-tir-stream-cls-prop-supports-pkt "supports packets".

For a given packet, there can be only one packet end message.

Within its \bt_stream's \ref api-msg-seq "message sequence", a packet
end message can only occur:

- After the \bt_sb_msg and before the \bt_se_msg.
- After a \bt_pb_msg for the same packet.

To create a packet end message for a given stream, use:

<dl>
  <dt>

  </dt>
  <dd>bt_message_packet_end_create_with_default_clock_snapshot()</dd>

  <dt>
    If, for this stream's class, packets do not have an end default
    clock snapshot
  </dt>
  <dd>bt_message_packet_end_create()</dd>
</dl>

A packet end message has the following properties:

<dl>
  <dt>\anchor api-msg-pe-prop-pkt Packet</dt>
  <dd>
    \bt_c_pkt of which the message indicates the end.

    You cannot change the packet once the message is created.

    \bt_dt_opt Default \bt_cs
  </dt>
  <dd>
    Snapshot of the message's \bt_stream's default clock when the
    packet ends.

    A packet end message has a default clock snapshot if:

    - Its stream's \ref api-tir-stream-cls "class" has a
      \ref api-tir-stream-cls-prop-def-clock-cls "default clock class".

    - For its stream's class,
      \ref api-tir-stream-cls-prop-pkt-end-cs "packets have an end default clock snapshot".

    Within its \bt_msg_iter's \ref api-msg-seq "message sequence",
    the default clock snapshot of a packet end message must be greater
    than or equal to any clock snapshot of any previous message.

    Borrow a packet end message's default clock snapshot with
    bt_message_packet_end_borrow_default_clock_snapshot_const().
  </dd>
</dl>

<h2>\anchor api-msg-disc-ev Discarded events message</h2>

A <strong><em>discarded events message</em></strong> indicates that
events were discarded at <em>tracing time</em>. It does \em not indicate
that \bt_p_ev_msg were dropped during a trace processing \bt_graph run.

A discarded events message can only exist if its \bt_stream's

<h2>\anchor api-msg-inac Message iterator inactivity</h2>

A <strong><em>message iterator inactivity message</em></strong>
indicates that, within the \ref api-msg-seq "message sequence" of a
given \bt_msg_iter, there's no messages since the last message (if any)
until a given point in time.

A message iterator inactivity message is the only type of message that's
not related to a \bt_stream: it targets the whole message sequence of a
message iterator, and can occur at any position within the sequence.

This message is mostly significant for real-time message iterators: if a
message iterator A indicates that there's no messages until a given
point in time T, then a downstream filter message iterator B which
relies on multiple upstream message iterators does not have to wait for
new messages from A until T.

In other words, a message iterator inactivity message can help
downstream message iterators or \bt_p_sink_comp <em>progress</em>.

Create a message iterator inactivity message with
bt_message_message_iterator_inactivity_create(). You must pass a
\bt_clock_cls and the value of a fictitious (clock) instance to this
function so that it creates a \bt_cs.

A message iterator inactivity message has the following property:

<dl>
  <dt>
    \anchor api-msg-inac-prop-cs
    \bt_dt_opt \bt_c_cs
  </dt>
  <dd>
    Snapshot of a fictitious instance of the message's \bt_clock_cls
    which indicates the point in time until when there's no messages
    in the message iterator's \ref api-msg-seq "message sequence".

    Within its \bt_msg_iter's message sequence, the clock snapshot of a
    message iterator inactivity message must be greater than or equal to
    any clock snapshot of any previous message.

    Borrow a message iterator inactivity message's clock snapshot
    with
    bt_message_message_iterator_inactivity_borrow_clock_snapshot_const().
  </dd>
</dl>

<h1>\anchor api-msg-mip Message Interchange Protocol</h1>

The <em>Message Interchange Protocol</em> (MIP) is the system of rules
used by \bt_p_comp and \bt_p_msg_iter to exchance messages within a
trace processing graph.

The MIP covers everything related to messages and what they contain, as
well as how they are ordered within the \ref api-msg-seq "sequence" that
a message iterator produces.

For example:

- A valid message sequence for a given \bt_stream starts with a
  \bt_sb_msg and ends with a \bt_se_msg.

- The maximum
  \ref api-tir-fc-int-prop-size "field value range" for an \bt_uint_fc
  is [0,&nbsp;2<sup>64</sup>&nbsp;-&nbsp;1].

- The available message types are stream beginning and end, event,
  packet beginning and end, discarded events and packets, and message
  iterator inactivity.

The MIP has a version which is a single major number, independent from
the \bt_name project's version. As of \bt_name_version_min_maj, the only
available MIP version is 0.

If what the MIP covers changes in a breaking or semantical way in the
future, the MIP and \bt_name's minor versions will be bumped.

When you create a trace processing \bt_graph with bt_graph_create(), you
must pass the effective MIP version to use. Then, the components you
\ref api-graph-lc-add "add" to this graph can access this configured MIP
version with bt_self_component_get_graph_mip_version() and behave
accordingly. In other words, if the configured MIP version is 0, then a
component cannot use features introduced by MIP version&nbsp;1. For
example, should the project introduce a new type of \bt_fc, the MIP
version would be bumped.

A component which cannot honor a given MIP can fail at
initialization time, making the corresponding
<code>bt_graph_add_*_component*()</code> call fail too. To avoid any
surprise, you can create a \bt_comp_descr_set with descriptors of the
components you intend to add to a trace processing graph and call
bt_get_greatest_operative_mip_version() to get the greatest (most
recent) MIP version you can use.

To get the library's latest MIP version, use
bt_get_maximal_mip_version().

The ultimate goal of the MIP version feature is for the \bt_name project
to be able to introduce new features or even major breaking changes
without breaking existing \bt_p_comp_cls. This is especially important
considering that \bt_name supports \bt_p_plugin written by different
authors. Of course one of the project's objectives is to bump the MIP
version as rarely as possible. When it is required, though, it's a
welcome tool to make the project evolve gracefully.

The Message Interchange Protocol has no dedicated documentation as this
very message module (and its submodules, like \ref api-tir)
documentation is enough. You can consider that all the
functions of the message and trace IR objects have an implicit MIP
version \ref api-fund-pre-post "precondition". When a given
function documentation does not explicitly document a MIP version
precondition, it means that the effective MIP version has no effect on
said function's behaviour.

<h2>\anchor api-msg-seq Message sequence rules</h2>

The purpose of a \bt_msg_iter is to iterate a sequence of messages.

Those messages can be related to different \bt_p_stream:

@image html trace-structure-msg-seq.png "Messages of multiple streams as a single message sequence for a given message iterator."

However, for such a message sequence, the current \bt_mip
(version \bt_max_mip_version) dictates that:

<ul>
  <li>
    For a given \bt_stream:

    - The sequence must begin with a \bt_sb_msg.
    - The sequence must end with a \bt_se_msg.
    - <strong>If the stream's \ref api-tir-stream-cls "class"
      \ref api-tir-stream-cls-prop-supports-pkt "supports packets"</strong>:
      - Any \bt_pb_msg must be followed with a \bt_pe_msg.
      - All \bt_p_ev_msg must be between a packet beginning and a
        packet end message.
      - A \bt_disc_pkt_msg must be (one of):
        - Before the first packet beginning message.
        - Between a packet end message and a packet beginning message.
        - After the last packet end message.

    The rules above can be summarized by the following regular
    expressions:

    <dl>
      <dt>Without packets</dt>
      <dd>
        @code{.unparsed}
        SB (E | DE)* SE
        @endcode
      </dd>

      <dt>With packets</dt>
      <dd>
        @code{.unparsed}
        SB ((PB (E | DE)* PE) | DE | DP)* SE
        @endcode
      </dd>
    </dl>

    With this alphabet:

    <dl>
      <dt>SB</dt>
      <dd>\bt_c_sb_msg</dd>

      <dt>SE</dt>
      <dd>\bt_c_se_msg</dd>

      <dt>E</dt>
      <dd>\bt_c_ev_msg</dd>

      <dt>PB</dt>
      <dd>\bt_c_pb_msg</dd>

      <dt>PE</dt>
      <dd>\bt_c_pe_msg</dd>

      <dt>DE</dt>
      <dd>\bt_c_disc_ev_msg</dd>

      <dt>DP</dt>
      <dd>\bt_c_disc_pkt_msg</dd>
    </dl>
  <li>
    For a given message iterator, for any message with a \bt_cs, its
    clock snapshot must be greater than or equal to any clock snapshot
    of any previous message.

    For the scope of this rule, the clock snapshot of a \bt_disc_ev_msg
    or of a \bt_disc_pkt_msg is its beginning default clock snapshot.
  <li>
    For a given message iterator, the \bt_p_cs of all the messages of
    the sequence with a clock snapshot must be correlatable
    (see \ref api-tir-clock-cls-origin "Clock value vs. clock class origin").

@brief
    Computes the greatest \bt_mip version which
    you can use to create a trace processing \bt_graph to which you
    intend to \ref api-graph-lc-add "add components" described by the
    component descriptors \bt_p{component_descriptors}, and sets
    \bt_p{*mip_version} to the result.

This function calls the
\link api-comp-cls-dev-meth-mip "get supported MIP versions"\endlink
method for each component descriptor in \bt_p{component_descriptors},
and then returns the greatest common (operative) MIP version, if any.
The "get supported MIP versions" method receives \bt_p{logging_level} as
its \bt_p{logging_level} parameter.

If this function does not find an operative MIP version for the
component descriptors of \bt_p{component_descriptors}, it returns
#BT_GET_GREATEST_OPERATIVE_MIP_VERSION_STATUS_NO_MATCH.

@note
    As of \bt_name_version_min_maj, because bt_get_maximal_mip_version()
    returns 0, this function always sets \bt_p{*mip_version} to
    0 on success.

@param[in] component_descriptors
    Component descriptors for which to get the supported MIP versions
    to compute the greatest operative MIP version.
@param[in] logging_level
    Logging level to use when calling the "get supported MIP versions"
    method for each component descriptor in
    \bt_p{component_descriptors}.
@param[out] mip_version
    <strong>On success</strong>, \bt_p{*mip_version} is the greatest
    operative MIP version of all the component descriptors in
    \bt_p{component_descriptors}.

@retval #BT_GET_GREATEST_OPERATIVE_MIP_VERSION_STATUS_OK
    Success.
@retval #BT_GET_GREATEST_OPERATIVE_MIP_VERSION_STATUS_NO_MATCH
    No operative MIP version exists for the component descriptors of
    \bt_p{component_descriptors}.
