With this patch, CEvents no longer stop at the target object, but will
bubble up the ancestor chain as long as CEvent::is_accepted() is false.
To the set accepted flag, call CEvent::accept().
To clear the accepted flag, call CEvent::ignore().
Events start out in the accepted state, so if you want them to bubble
up, you have to call ignore() on them.
Using this mechanism, we now ignore non-tabbing keydown events in
GWidget, causing them to bubble up through the widget's ancestors. :^)
Long-term we should use reference counting for the CObject hierarchy.
Since we've already accumulated a fair amount of code, this is quite a
large task, so I'm breaking it into some steps.
So, ObjectPtr is a "smart" pointer for CObject-derived types.
It becomes null when moved from, and will destroy unparented CObjects
in its destructor.
The idea here is to convert the codebase over to ObjectPtr piece by
piece, and then when everything is moved and CObject itself refactored
for ref-counting, we can just replace ObjectPtr with RefPtr everywhere.
RPC clients now send JSON-encoded requests to the RPC server.
The connection also stays alive instead of disconnecting automatically
after the initial CObject graph dump.
JSON payloads are preceded by a single host-order encoded 32-bit int
containing the length of the payload.
So far, we have three RPC commands:
- Identify
- GetAllObjects
- Disconnect
We'll be adding more of these as we go along. :^)
Both overloads should know how to set up a notifier callback in case
we get EINPROGRESS from connect().
It might be even better to merge the connect() overloads into a single
function..
We were returning a zero-length ByteBuffer in some cases. We should be
consistent about this and always return a null ByteBuffer if nothing
was read at all.
This was a workaround to be able to build on case-insensitive file
systems where it might get confused about <string.h> vs <String.h>.
Let's just not support building that way, so String.h can have an
objectively nicer name. :^)
The Inspector app quickly exposes crappy flat object hiearchies without
parent/child relationships. This is one of many commits that improves
the situation by making parent/child CObject relationships explicit.
All programs that have a CEventLoop now allow local socket connections
via /tmp/rpc.PID and will dump a serialized JSON array of all the live
CObjects in the program onto connecting sockets.
Also added a small /bin/rpcdump tool that connects to an RPC socket and
produces a raw dump of the JSON that comes out.
Now there's just CHttpRequest::set_url(URL), no need to specify the
host, port and path manually anymore.
Updated ChanViewer and Downloader for the API change.
This ensures the pipe fds don't leak into child processes.
This manifested as the Shell (and all processes started
from the shell) having two mysterious FIFOs open. This
was happening because of the Terminal, which the shell
was spawned form, leaking its CEventLoop wake pipe fds.
Fork the IPC Connection classes into Server:: and Client::ConnectionNG.
The new IPC messages are serialized very snugly instead of using the
same generic data structure for all messages.
Remove ASAPI.h since we now generate all of it from AudioServer.ipc :^)
This API was returning a "const char*" and it was unclear who took care
of the underlying memory. Returning a String makes that obvious.
Also make sure we close the /etc/passwd file when we're done with it.
There's some confusion between the write syscall and CIODevice::write()
here. The internal write() returns a boolean, and has already whined
in case the syscall failed, so we don't need to do that again.
The goal here is to generate most of this code from IPC protocol
descriptions, but for now I've spelled them all out to get started.
Each message gets a wrapper class in the ASAPI_Client or ASAPI_Server
namespace. They are convertible to and from the old message structs.
The real hotness happens when you want to make a synchronous request
to the other side:
auto response = send_sync<ASAPI_Client::GetMainMixVolume>();
Each request class knows his corresponding response class, so in the
above example, "response" will be an ASAPI_Server::DidGetMainMixVolume
object, and we can get the volume like so:
int volume = response.volume();
For posting messages that don't expect a response, you can still use
post_message() since the message classes are convertible:
post_message(ASAPI_Server::DidGetMainMixVolume(volume));
It's not perfect yet, but I already really like it. :^)
Processes can now have an icon assigned, which is essentially a 16x16 RGBA32
bitmap exposed as a shared buffer ID.
You set the icon ID by calling set_process_icon(int) and the icon ID will be
exposed through /proc/all.
To make this work, I added a mechanism for making shared buffers globally
accessible. For safety reasons, each app seals the icon buffer before making
it global.
Right now the first call to GWindow::set_icon() is what determines the
process icon. We'll probably change this in the future. :^)
We're going to be using dedicated server socket classes instead.
This was only implemented for CLocalSocket, and clients have been switched
over to using CLocalServer.
Use CLocalServer to listen for connections in WindowServer and AudioServer.
This allows us to accept incoming CLocalSocket objects from the CLocalServer
and construct client connections based on those.
Removed COpenedSocket since it's replaced by CLocalSocket.
Instead of trying to support both client and server in CLocalSocket, let's
have a specialized server class.
The basic usage is:
CLocalServer server;
server.listen("/tmp/name-of-portal");
server.on_ready_to_accept = [&] {
CLocalSocket* client = server.accept();
...
};
This will make things a lot simpler, since an accepting socket doesn't need
half of the stuff that a regular CIODevice provides. :^)
Since ChildAdded events originate from the CObject constructor, they are not
fully constructed when their parent learns that they were added.
Added a little comment about this to the child_event() declaration.
This macro goes at the top of every CObject-derived class like so:
class SomeClass : public CObject {
C_OBJECT(SomeClass)
public:
...
At the moment, all it does is create an override for the class_name() getter
but in the future this will be used to automatically insert member functions
into these classes.
