The point of a reference type is to behave just like the referred-to
type. So, a Foo& should behave just like a Foo.
In these cases, we had a const Vector. If it was a const Vector of Foo,
iterating over the Vector would only permit taking const references to
the individual Foos.
However, we had a const Vector of Foo&. The behavior should not
change. We should still only be permitted to take const references to
the individual Foos. Otherwise, we would be allowed to mutate the
individual Foos, which would mutate the elements of the const Vector.
This wouldn't modify the stored pointers, but it would modify the
objects that the references refer to. Since references should be
transparent, this should not be legal.
So it should be impossible to get mutable references into a const
Vector. Since we need mutable references in these cases to call the
mutating member functions, we need to mark the Vector as mutable as
well.
This change unfortunately cannot be atomically made without a single
commit changing everything.
Most of the important changes are in LibIPC/Connection.cpp,
LibIPC/ServerConnection.cpp and LibCore/LocalServer.cpp.
The notable changes are:
- IPCCompiler now generates the decode and decode_message functions such
that they take a Core::Stream::LocalSocket instead of the socket fd.
- IPC::Decoder now uses the receive_fd method of LocalSocket instead of
doing system calls directly on the fd.
- IPC::ConnectionBase and related classes now use the Stream API
functions.
- IPC::ServerConnection no longer constructs the socket itself; instead,
a convenience macro, IPC_CLIENT_CONNECTION, is used in place of
C_OBJECT and will generate a static try_create factory function for
the ServerConnection subclass. The subclass is now responsible for
passing the socket constructed in this function to its
ServerConnection base; the socket is passed as the first argument to
the constructor (as a NonnullOwnPtr<Core::Stream::LocalServer>) before
any other arguments.
- The functionality regarding taking over sockets from SystemServer has
been moved to LibIPC/SystemServerTakeover.cpp. The Core::LocalSocket
implementation of this functionality hasn't been deleted due to my
intention of removing this class in the near future and to reduce
noise on this (already quite noisy) PR.
Briefly flash the menubar menu containing the keyboard shortcut action
to give the user immediate visual feedback on their interaction with the
system.
I encountered a WindowServer crash due to null-pointer dereference in
this function, so let's protect against it by simply skipping over
nulled-out WeakPtrs.
I added a FIXME about how we ideally wouldn't be in this situation in
the first place, but that will require some more investigation.
This encapsulates what our multi-client IPC servers typically do on
startup:
1. Create a Core::LocalServer
2. Take over a listening socket file descriptor from SystemServer
3. Set up an accept handler for incoming connections
IPC::MultiServer does all this for you! All you have to do is provide
the relevant client connection type as a template argument.
These ones all manage their storage internally, whereas the WebContent
and ImageDecoder ones require the caller to manage their lifetime. This
distinction is not obvious to the user without looking through the code,
so an API that makes this clearer would be nice.
Everyone used this hook in the same way: immediately accept() on the
socket and then do something with the newly accepted fd.
This patch simplifies the hook by having LocalServer do the accepting
automatically.
235f39e449 secretly added an if check that ignores all the files that
couldn't be loaded into bitmaps. Unfortunately, we send an empty path
as a way to unset the wallpaper, which meant that we couldn't go back
to the default background color anymore.
With this change, System::foo() becomes Core::System::foo().
Since LibCore builds on other systems than SerenityOS, we now have to
make sure that wrappers work with just a standard C library underneath.
Render the window switcher with the same background and shadow as other
WindowServer overlays.
Note that we don't actually render it as a WindowServer::Overlay, as the
window switcher uses mouse and keyboard events, and there's currently
no way for an overlay to receive events.
This fixes an issue with menus not being immediately "usable" with the
the right mouse button after opening a context menu.
The bug was that we were clearing a local pointer to the active input
tracking window instead of the pointer in WindowStack.
We need to make sure the menu was pushed to the open menu stack before
calling set_visible, as this may trigger cursor re-evaluation, which
in turn expects the menu to be considered open.
