This makes it so that "on_connected" always gets called first.
Since accepted sockets are connected before construction, they have
to manually set CSocket::m_connected.
GEventLoop was just a dummy subclass of CEventLoop anyway. The only
thing it actually did was make sure a GWindowServerConnectionw was
instantiated. We now take care of that in GApplication instead.
CEventLoop is now non-virtual and a little less confusing. :^)
Okay, I've spent a whole day on this now, and it finally kinda works!
With this patch, CObject and all of its derived classes are reference
counted instead of tree-owned.
The previous, Qt-like model was nice and familiar, but ultimately also
outdated and difficult to reason about.
CObject-derived types should now be stored in RefPtr/NonnullRefPtr and
each class can be constructed using the forwarding construct() helper:
auto widget = GWidget::construct(parent_widget);
Note that construct() simply forwards all arguments to an existing
constructor. It is inserted into each class by the C_OBJECT macro,
see CObject.h to understand how that works.
CObject::delete_later() disappears in this patch, as there is no longer
a single logical owner of a CObject.
We were only deleting the pointee when the ObjectPtr was destroyed.
If the ObjectPtr is cleared before that, we should also delete the
pointee. This is not the most important class to get right, since
it will go away as soon as we're able to switch to RefPtr.
It's pretty confusing when a CObject is owned both by its parent-child
relationship, but also by an ObjectPtr member in the parent.
In those cases, we have to make sure we both unparent the child *and*
reove it from the ObjectPtr.
This will become a bit less confusing when ObjectPtr becomes RefPtr,
although still not crystal clear. I'm not sure what the solution is.
Subclasses of CNetworkJob handle this by overriding shutdown().
This patch implements it for CHttpJob by simply tearing down the
underlying socket.
We also automatically call shutdown() after the job finishes,
regardless of success or failure. :^)
The C_OBJECT macro now also inserts a static construct(...) helper into
the class. Now we can make the constructor(s) private and instead call:
auto socket = CTCPSocket::construct(arguments);
construct() returns an ObjectPtr<T>, which we'll later switch to being
a NonnullRefPtr<T>, once everything else in in place for ref-counting.
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.
