The file is now renamed to Queue.h, and the Resampler APIs with
LegacyBuffer are also removed. These changes look large because nobody
actually needs Buffer.h (or Queue.h). It was mostly transitive
dependencies on the massive list of includes in that header, which are
now almost all gone. Instead, we include common things like Sample.h
directly, which should give faster compile times as very few files
actually need Queue.h.
We only need to fire these callbacks when we want to change the palette.
So, when setting widget values to match a palette that has just been
loaded, or to show the value of the role selected in a ComboBox, we can
skip the callbacks. This saves some work, and means we can reliably use
on_palette_change to know when the palette has actually been modified.
There are two different things in ThemeEditor that want to know when a
palette changes:
1. The PreviewWidget subclass, so it can update its preview.
2. The ThemeEditor itself, so we know that the palette is modified.
Using a protected virtual function for 1 means that we can do 2 without
them fighting over the same on_palette_change callback.
The main event loop functionality was used in just two places where the
alternative is a bit simpler. Remove it in favor of referencing the
event loop directly, or just invoking `EventLoop::current()`.
Note that we don't need locking in the constructor since we're now only
modifying a thread-local `Vector`. We also don't need locking in the
old call sites to `::with_main_locked()` since we already lock the
event loop in the subsequent `::post_event()` invocation.
Previously, when you selected to have a custom format, whatever was in
the custom-format box would get replaced with the format for
12-hour-without-seconds. Now, it keeps whatever was in the box before -
which is less disorientating, and lets you tweak the existing format.
This means that if you save and close ClockSettings with "24-hour"
and "Show seconds" both checked, then they will both be checked when
you re-open ClockSettings, instead of it showing as a "Custom" format.
This adds a simple histogram widget that visualizes the rgb-channels
and brightness for a given image. When hovering over the image it will
indicate what brightness level the pixel at the mouse position has.
Previously, we were sending Buffers to the server whenever we had new
audio data for it. This meant that for every audio enqueue action, we
needed to create a new shared memory anonymous buffer, send that
buffer's file descriptor over IPC (+recfd on the other side) and then
map the buffer into the audio server's memory to be able to play it.
This was fine for sending large chunks of audio data, like when playing
existing audio files. However, in the future we want to move to
real-time audio in some applications like Piano. This means that the
size of buffers that are sent need to be very small, as just the size of
a buffer itself is part of the audio latency. If we were to try
real-time audio with the existing system, we would run into problems
really quickly. Dealing with a continuous stream of new anonymous files
like the current audio system is rather expensive, as we need Kernel
help in multiple places. Additionally, every enqueue incurs an IPC call,
which are not optimized for >1000 calls/second (which would be needed
for real-time audio with buffer sizes of ~40 samples). So a fundamental
change in how we handle audio sending in userspace is necessary.
This commit moves the audio sending system onto a shared single producer
circular queue (SSPCQ) (introduced with one of the previous commits).
This queue is intended to live in shared memory and be accessed by
multiple processes at the same time. It was specifically written to
support the audio sending case, so e.g. it only supports a single
producer (the audio client). Now, audio sending follows these general
steps:
- The audio client connects to the audio server.
- The audio client creates a SSPCQ in shared memory.
- The audio client sends the SSPCQ's file descriptor to the audio server
with the set_buffer() IPC call.
- The audio server receives the SSPCQ and maps it.
- The audio client signals start of playback with start_playback().
- At the same time:
- The audio client writes its audio data into the shared-memory queue.
- The audio server reads audio data from the shared-memory queue(s).
Both sides have additional before-queue/after-queue buffers, depending
on the exact application.
- Pausing playback is just an IPC call, nothing happens to the buffer
except that the server stops reading from it until playback is
resumed.
- Muting has nothing to do with whether audio data is read or not.
- When the connection closes, the queues are unmapped on both sides.
This should already improve audio playback performance in a bunch of
places.
Implementation & commit notes:
- Audio loaders don't create LegacyBuffers anymore. LegacyBuffer is kept
for WavLoader, see previous commit message.
- Most intra-process audio data passing is done with FixedArray<Sample>
or Vector<Sample>.
- Improvements to most audio-enqueuing applications. (If necessary I can
try to extract some of the aplay improvements.)
- New APIs on LibAudio/ClientConnection which allows non-realtime
applications to enqueue audio in big chunks like before.
- Removal of status APIs from the audio server connection for
information that can be directly obtained from the shared queue.
- Split the pause playback API into two APIs with more intuitive names.
I know this is a large commit, and you can kinda tell from the commit
message. It's basically impossible to break this up without hacks, so
please forgive me. These are some of the best changes to the audio
subsystem and I hope that that makes up for this :yaktangle: commit.
:yakring:
With the following change in how we send audio, the old Buffer type is
not really needed anymore. However, moving WavLoader to the new system
is a bit more involved and out of the scope of this PR. Therefore, we
need to keep Buffer around, but to make it clear that it's the old
buffer type which will be removed soon, we rename it to LegacyBuffer.
Most of the users will be gone after the next commit anyways.
This will allow us to change between a couple of properties, for now
it's only Device and Virtual. (How about Remote :^) ) These get handled
by a different screen backend in the Screen.
This patch adds a header containing the fuzzy match algorithm
previously used in Assistant. The algorithm was moved to AK
since there are many places where a search may benefit from fuzzyness.
This is to simplify the code, as Color, Alignment, Flag, Metric and Path
RoleModel classes looked exactly the same.
Additionally, I've added a try_create() function for error propagation.
:^)
Similar reasoning to making Core::Stream::read() return Bytes, except
that every user of read_line() creates a StringView from the result, so
let's just return one right away.
Instead of having the undo operation only be able to undo one cell
for a given undo, make it able to handle multiple cells at a time.
