This enables support for automatically generating client methods.
With this added the user gets code completion support for all
IPC methods which are available on a connection object.
This patch removes the IPC endpoint numbers that needed to be specified
in the IPC files. Since the string hash is a (hopefully) collision free
number that depends on the name of the endpoint, we now use that
instead. :^)
Additionally, endpoint magic is now treated as a u32, because endpoint
numbers were never negative anyway.
For cases where the endpoint number does have to be hardcoded (a current
case is LookupServer because the endpoint number must be known in LibC),
the syntax has been made more explicit to avoid confusing those
unfamiliar. To hardcode the endpoint magic, the following syntax is now
used:
endpoint EndpointName [magic=1234]

(...and ASSERT_NOT_REACHED => VERIFY_NOT_REACHED)
Since all of these checks are done in release builds as well,
let's rename them to VERIFY to prevent confusion, as everyone is
used to assertions being compiled out in release.
We can introduce a new ASSERT macro that is specifically for debug
checks, but I'm doing this wholesale conversion first since we've
accumulated thousands of these already, and it's not immediately
obvious which ones are suitable for ASSERT.
I originally wanted to batch the symbolication requests but that just
makes the client logic significantly more complicated with no real
benefit other than architectural feelgood points.
The /boot directory is only accessible to root by default, but anyone
wanting access to kernel symbols for development can get them by making
/boot/Kernel accessible to the "symbol" user.
This patch adds SymbolServer, a service daemon that provides
symbolication of ELF binaries. It has a very simple IPC API at the
moment that only turns addresses into symbol names.
This can be used to implement symbolication without having to do
in-process ELF parsing yourself. :^)
