This shouldn't have been moved to EventLoopManager, as the manager is
global and one-per-process, and the implementation is one-per-loop.
This makes cross-thread event posting work again, and unbreaks
SoundPlayer (and probably other things as well.)
Things such as timers and notifiers aren't specific to one instance of
Core::EventLoop, so let's not tie them down to EventLoopImplementation.
Instead, move those APIs + signals & a few other things to a new
EventLoopManager interface. EventLoopManager also knows how to create a
new EventLoopImplementation object.
Using QEventLoop works for everything but it breaks *one* little feature
that we care about: automatically quitting the app when all windows have
been closed.
That only works if you drive the outermost main event loop with a
QCoreApplication instead of a QEventLoop. This is unfortunate, as it
complicates our API a little bit, but I'm sure we can think of a way to
make this nicer someday.
In order for QCoreApplication::exec() to process our own
ThreadEventQueue, we now have a zero-timer that we kick whenever new
events are posted to the thread queue.
The EventLoop is now a wrapper around an EventLoopImplementation.
Our old EventLoop code has moved into EventLoopImplementationUnix and
continues to work as before.
The main difference is that all the separate thread_local variables have
been collected into a file-local ThreadData data structure.
The goal here is to allow running Core::EventLoop with a totally
different backend, such as Qt for Ladybird.
This program has never lived up to its original idea, and has been
broken for years (property editing, etc). It's also unmaintained and
off-by-default since forever.
At this point, Inspector is more of a maintenance burden than a feature,
so this commit removes it from the system, along with the mechanism in
Core::EventLoop that enables it.
If we decide we want the feature again in the future, it can be
reimplemented better. :^)
Not a single client of this API actually used the event mask feature to
listen for readability AND writability.
Let's simplify the API and have only one hook: on_activation.
Instead of juggling events between individual instances of
Core::EventLoop, move queueing and processing to a separate per-thread
queue (ThreadEventQueue).
This was used in exactly one place, to avoid sending multiple
CustomEvents to the enqueuer thread in Audio::ConnectionToServer.
Instead of this, we now just send a CustomEvent and wake the enqueuer
thread. If it wakes up and has multiple CustomEvents, they get delivered
and ignored in no time anyway. Since they only get ignored if there's
no work to be done, this seems harmless.
This is quite useful for userspace applications that can't cope with the
restriction, but it's still useful to impose other non-configurable
restrictions by using jails.
`process.fds()` is protected by a Mutex, which causes issues when we try
to acquire it while holding a Spinlock. Since nothing seems to use this
value, let's just remove it entirely for now.
Rather than the very C-like API we currently have, accepting a void* and
a length, let's take a Bytes object instead. In almost all existing
cases, the compiler figures out the length.
This was fine before as the last entry was a null string (which could be
printed), but we no longer use C-style sentinel-terminated arrays for
arguments.
If it is default-initialized to 0, mktime will assume that DST is not in
effect for the specified time. Setting it to a negative value instructs
mktime to determine for itself whether DST is in effect.
- We were using primitive versions of mkstemp and mkdtemp, they have
been converted to use LibCore::System.
- If an error occurred whilst creating a temporary directory or file, it
was thrown and the program would crash. Now, we use ErrorOr<T> so that
the caller can handle the error accordingly
- The `Type` enumeration has been made private, and `create_temp` has
been "split" (although rewritten) into create_temp_directory and
create_temp_file. The old pattern of TempFile::create_temp(Type::File)
felt a bit awkward, and TempFile::create_temp_file() feels a bit nicer
to use! :^)
Once the Core::Filesystem PR is merged (#17789), it would be better for
this helper to be merged in with that. But until then, this is a nice
improvement.
Similar to POSIX read, the basic read and write functions of AK::Stream
do not have a lower limit of how much data they read or write (apart
from "none at all").
Rename the functions to "read some [data]" and "write some [data]" (with
"data" being omitted, since everything here is reading and writing data)
to make them sufficiently distinct from the functions that ensure to
use the entire buffer (which should be the go-to function for most
usages).
No functional changes, just a lot of new FIXMEs.
In this context, the promises are considered "jobs", and such jobs
depend in some way on the event loop. Therefore, they can be added to
the event loop, and the event loop will cancel all of its pending jobs
when it ends.
