Since all users of the old API are now removed, this commit removes all
the methods that returned raw file descriptors, in favor of returning
`ErrorOr<NonnullRefPtr<Core::File>`.
The current implementation is a bit of a hack since we also want to keep
around the previous variants for now, but will be cleaned up later once
all applications have been ported to the new API.
This change unfortunately cannot be atomically made without a single
commit changing everything.
Most of the important changes are in LibIPC/Connection.cpp,
LibIPC/ServerConnection.cpp and LibCore/LocalServer.cpp.
The notable changes are:
- IPCCompiler now generates the decode and decode_message functions such
that they take a Core::Stream::LocalSocket instead of the socket fd.
- IPC::Decoder now uses the receive_fd method of LocalSocket instead of
doing system calls directly on the fd.
- IPC::ConnectionBase and related classes now use the Stream API
functions.
- IPC::ServerConnection no longer constructs the socket itself; instead,
a convenience macro, IPC_CLIENT_CONNECTION, is used in place of
C_OBJECT and will generate a static try_create factory function for
the ServerConnection subclass. The subclass is now responsible for
passing the socket constructed in this function to its
ServerConnection base; the socket is passed as the first argument to
the constructor (as a NonnullOwnPtr<Core::Stream::LocalServer>) before
any other arguments.
- The functionality regarding taking over sockets from SystemServer has
been moved to LibIPC/SystemServerTakeover.cpp. The Core::LocalSocket
implementation of this functionality hasn't been deleted due to my
intention of removing this class in the near future and to reduce
noise on this (already quite noisy) PR.
There can be cases when one wants to open a file not just for reading
but also for writing. It was already possible to have a custom open mode
for request_file, now it is also possible through the open/save dialogs.
FileSystemAccessServer requires all paths to be absolute, and will
just crash if this is not the case. Instead of expecting the user to
always provide an absolute path, the client just checks to see if
the path provided was absolute, and if not makes a request with the
absolute path instead.
This commit adds a new request to the FileSystemAccessServer
endpoint, allowing the clients to get read-only access to a file
without getting a Dialog-box prompting the user for access.
This is only meant to be used in cases where the user has asked
specifically to open a file through the command-line arguments.
In those cases, I believe it makes sense for the read-only access
to be implicit. Always prompting the user gets a bit annoying,
especially if you just quickly want to open a file through the CLI.
The new request name has been made extremely specific to make sure
that it's only used when appropriate.
This transitions from synchronous IPC calls to asynchronous IPC calls
provided through a synchronous interface in LibFileSystemAccessClient
which allows the parent Application to stay responsive.
It achieves this with Promise which is pumping the Application event
loop while waiting for the Dialog to respond with the user's action.
LibFileSystemAccessClient provides a lazy singleton which also ensures
that FileSystemAccessServer is running in the event of a crash.
This also transitions TextEditor into using LibFileSystemAccessClient.
