Each of these strings would previously rely on StringView's char const*
constructor overload, which would call __builtin_strlen on the string.
Since we now have operator ""sv, we can replace these with much simpler
versions. This opens the door to being able to remove
StringView(char const*).
No functional changes.
If the .config directory (or its children, like lib) was deleted,
ConfigFile would crash because it would try to open or create a file in
a directory that didn't exist. Therefore, for user and library configs
(but not system configs), ensure that the parent directories exist. This
allows the user to delete the entire .config folder and all apps still
work. (Except those which can't handle missing config. That's a separate
issue though.)
Fixes#13555
Note: Some changes to pledges and unveils are necessary for this to
work. The only one who can recreate .config at the moment is
ConfigServer, as others probably don't pledge the user home directory.
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.
ConfigServer is an IPC service that provides access to application
configuration and settings. The idea is to replace all uses of
Core::ConfigFile with IPC requests to ConfigServer.
This first cut of the API is pretty similar to Core::ConfigFile.
The old:
auto config = Core::ConfigFile::open_for_app("App");
auto value = config->read_entry("Group", "Key");
The new:
auto value = Config::read_string("App", "Group", "Key");
ConfigServer uses the ~/.config directory as its backing store
and all the files remain human-editable. :^)
