Use the new watch_file() mechanism to monitor the currently open directory
for changes and refresh the model when notified. This makes FileManager
automagically show newly added files. :^)
The syscall is quite simple:
int watch_file(const char* path, int path_length);
It returns a file descriptor referring to a "InodeWatcher" object in the
kernel. It becomes readable whenever something changes about the inode.
Currently this is implemented by hooking the "metadata dirty bit" in
Inode which isn't perfect, but it's a start. :^)
We were installing libraries into /Libraries/Root, rather than in /Root.
This made the ports system behave rather unpredictable, since I had old
versions of things in /Root and new versions of things in /Libraries/Root.
The "stddbg" stream was a cute idea but we never ended up using it in
practice, so let's simplify this and implement userspace dbgprintf() on top
of a simple dbgputch() syscall instead.
This makes debugging LibC startup a little bit easier. :^)
Add a trivial CSafeSyscall template that calls a callback until it stops
returning EINTR, and use it everywhere we use select() now.
Thanks to Andreas for the suggestion of using a template parameter for
the syscall function to invoke.
This is very simple but already very useful. Now you're able to call to
dump_backtrace() from anywhere userspace to get a nice symbolicated
backtrace in the debugger output. :^)
You now have to pass an Orientation to the GSlider constructor. It's not
possible to change the orientation after construction.
Added some vertical GSliders to the WidgetGallery demo for testing. :^)
These are useful when doing widgets that can be switched between vertical
and horizontal mode, such as GSlider. The idea is that instead of using
"x" and "y" directly, you use the "primary" and "secondary" offset/size
for the Orientation you're configured in.
Rolling with the theme of adding a dialog to shutdown the machine, it is
probably nice to have a way to reboot the machine without performing a full
system powerdown.
A reboot program has been added to `/bin/` as well as a corresponding
`syscall` (SC_reboot). This syscall works by attempting to pulse the 8042
keyboard controller. Note that this is NOT supported on new machines, and
should only be a fallback until we have proper ACPI support.
The implementation causes a triple fault in QEMU, which then restarts the
system. The filesystems are locked and synchronized before this occurs,
so there shouldn't be any corruption etctera.
The only part of this that actually differs between all of them is the
stream -> sample reading, so turn that into a function that the channel
reader can call as it wants.
Instead of LibGUI and WindowServer building their own copies of the drawing
and graphics code, let's it in a separate LibDraw library.
This avoids building the code twice, and will encourage better separation
of concerns. :^)
This allows us to seal a buffer *before* anyone else has access to it
(well, ok, the creating process still does, but you can't win them all).
It also means that a SharedBuffer can be shared with multiple clients:
all you need is to have access to it to share it on again.
This was a mistake, of course. Nested event loops don't need (or want)
independent server connections.
We initialize the connection early in GEventLoop for e.g. users that
want to get the size of a GDesktop before the connection has been
established.
Bug noticed by Andreas, introduced by me ;-)
Sticking these in a namespace allows us to use a more generic
("Connection") term without clashing, which is way easier to understand
than to try to come up with unique names for both.
As a consequence, move to use an explicit handshake() method rather than
calling virtuals from the constructor. This seemed to not bother
AClientConnection, but LibGUI crashes (rightfully) because of it.
The center of this is now an ABuffer class in LibAudio.
ABuffer contains ASample, which has two channels (left/right) in
floating point for mixing purposes, in 44100hz.
This means that the loaders (AWavLoader in this case) needs to do some
manipulation to get things in the right format, but that we don't need
to care after format loading is done.
While we're at it, do some correctness fixes. PCM data is unsigned if
it's 8 bit, but 16 bit is signed. And /dev/audio also wants signed 16
bit audio, so give it what it wants.
On top of this, AudioServer now accepts requests to play a buffer.
The IPC mechanism here is pretty much a 1:1 copy-paste from
LibGUI/WindowServer. It can be generalized more in the future, but for
now I want to get AudioServer working decently first :)
Additionally, add a little "aplay" tool to load and play a WAV file. It
will break with large WAVs (run out of memory, heh...) but it's a start.
Future work needs to make AudioServer block buffer submission from
clients until it has played the buffer they are requesting to play.
Currently the two available input types are:
- GMessageBox::InputType::OK (default)
- GMessageBox::InputType::OKCancel
Based on your choice, GMessageBox::exec() will return ExecOK or ExecCancel.
This way, CNotifier can mutate state to its little heart's content
without destroying the world when the global CNotifier hash changes
during delivery.
If custom I/O is being done outside CIODevice, we need a way to force blocking sometimes.
This also fixes the default of CLocalSocket to be non-blocking, the same
as CTCPSocket.
This is the same as calling FileSystemPath(foo).string(). The majority of
clients only care about canonicalizing a path, so let's have an easy way
to express that.
