Language servers will now receive an open file instead of just its path. This
means the language servers no longer need to access the filesystem to open the
file themselves.
The C++ language server now has no filesystem access whatsoever (although we
might need to relax this in the future if it learns to complete #include paths),
while the Shell language server can read /etc/passwd (it wants that in order to
get the user's home directory) and browse (but not read!) the whole file system
tree for completing paths.
This makes most operations thread safe, especially so that they
can safely be used in the Kernel. This includes obtaining a strong
reference from a weak reference, which now requires an explicit
call to WeakPtr::strong_ref(). Another major change is that
Weakable::make_weak_ref() may require the explicit target type.
Previously we used reinterpret_cast in WeakPtr, assuming that it
can be properly converted. But WeakPtr does not necessarily have
the knowledge to be able to do this. Instead, we now ask the class
itself to deliver a WeakPtr to the type that we want.
Also, WeakLink is no longer specific to a target type. The reason
for this is that we want to be able to safely convert e.g. WeakPtr<T>
to WeakPtr<U>, and before this we just reinterpret_cast the internal
WeakLink<T> to WeakLink<U>, which is a bold assumption that it would
actually produce the correct code. Instead, WeakLink now operates
on just a raw pointer and we only make those constructors/operators
available if we can verify that it can be safely cast.
In order to guarantee thread safety, we now use the least significant
bit in the pointer for locking purposes. This also means that only
properly aligned pointers can be used.
Previously, the client would decide when to ask the server for
completions, and it would only do so for identifiers that had spans
(determined via the highlighter!).
Swap this around and make the server decide if it wants to complete
something.
This commit also adds a CompletionKind (which only has one value:
Identifier), to work with other kinds of completions as well.
This commit moves all the logic that deals with the language server
(from HackStudio) into a LanguageClient class, provides some functions
to make constructing them easier, and makes all language servers use a
singular IPC definition.
Also fixes the FIXME about making the autocompletion async.
This makes adding language servers in the future significantly less
duplicate-y, and significantly easier :^)
Editors now communicate with the c++ language server when openning and
editing c++ source files, and go through the language server to get
autocomplete suggestions.
This commit adds a new GUI widget type, called CodeDocument, which
is a TextDocument that can additionaly store data related to the
debugger.
This fixes various bugs and crashes that occured when we switched
between files in debug mode, because we previously held stale breakpoint
data for the previous file in the Editor object.
We now keep this data at the "document" level rather than the Editor
level, which fixes things.
This patch adds GUI::FocusEvent which has a GUI::FocusSource.
The focus source is one of three things:
- Programmatic
- Mouse
- Keyboard
This allows receivers of focus events to implement different behaviors
depending on how they receive/lose focus.
HackStudio uses a TreeView to display the list of current variables
while debugging, and when the program completes, it sets that view's
model to a null model. This would trip an assertion if the TreeView
had something selected at the time, so this patch lessens the
assertion into a simple null check.
Additionally, the cursor would look laggy when moving about the
editor because the code was waiting for a window repaint to update
the cursor's look when it makes more sense to update the cursor
when it actually moves. This change also requires the base
GUI::TextEditor to expose a getter to tell if its currently in a drag
selection.
Finally, requesting a context menu in the line ruler on the side of
the editor would also place/remove breakpoints, which was counter
intuitive, so this requires a left click to modify breakpoint placement.
And move canonicalized_path() to a static method on LexicalPath.
This is to make it clear that FileSystemPath/canonicalized_path() only
perform *lexical* canonicalization.
This patch introduces the GUI::SyntaxHighlighter class, which can be
attached to a GUI::TextEditor to provide syntax highlighting.
The C++ syntax highlighting from HackStudio becomes a new class called
GUI::CppSyntaxHighlighter. This will make it possible to get C++ syntax
highlighting in any app that uses a GUI::TextEditor. :^)
Sidenote: It does feel a bit weird having a C++ lexer in a GUI toolkit
library, and we'll probably end up moving this out to a separate place
as this functionality grows larger.
I started adding things to a Draw namespace, but it somehow felt really
wrong seeing Draw::Rect and Draw::Bitmap, etc. So instead, let's rename
the library to LibGfx. :^)
I've been wanting to do this for a long time. It's time we start being
consistent about how this stuff works.
The new convention is:
- "LibFoo" is a userspace library that provides the "Foo" namespace.
That's it :^) This was pretty tedious to convert and I didn't even
start on LibGUI yet. But it's coming up next.
As suggested by Joshua, this commit adds the 2-clause BSD license as a
comment block to the top of every source file.
For the first pass, I've just added myself for simplicity. I encourage
everyone to add themselves as copyright holders of any file they've
added or modified in some significant way. If I've added myself in
error somewhere, feel free to replace it with the appropriate copyright
holder instead.
Going forward, all new source files should include a license header.
