By moving this up to ConnectionBase, we have less custom code for each
templated subclass, and it gets a little easier to edit the code since
you don't have to rebuild as much when making changes.
This refactor eliminates the need for a second "fd passing socket" on
Lagom, as it uses SCM_RIGHTS in the expected fashion, to send fds along
with the data of our Unix socket message.
Add factory functions to distinguish between when the owner of the File
wants to transfer ownership to the new IPC object (adopt) or to send a
copy of the same fd to the IPC peer (clone).
This behavior is more intuitive than the previous behavior. Previously,
an IPC::File would default to a shallow clone of the file descriptor,
only *actually* calling dup(2) for the fd when encoding or it into an
IPC MessageBuffer. Now the dup(2) for the fd is explicit in the clone_fd
factory function.
This URL library ends up being a relatively fundamental base library of
the system, as LibCore depends on LibURL.
This change has two main benefits:
* Moving AK back more towards being an agnostic library that can
be used between the kernel and userspace. URL has never really fit
that description - and is not used in the kernel.
* URL _should_ depend on LibUnicode, as it needs punnycode support.
However, it's not really possible to do this inside of AK as it can't
depend on any external library. This change brings us a little closer
to being able to do that, but unfortunately we aren't there quite
yet, as the code generators depend on LibCore.
Also add a note to the Concepts header that the reason we have all the
strange concepts in place for container types is to work around the
language limitation that we cannot partially specialize function
templates.
For every IPC message sent, we currently prepend the message size to the
IPC message buffer. This incurs the cost of copying the entire message
to its newly allocated position. Instead, reserve the bytes for the size
at the front of the buffer upon creation. Prevent dangerous access to
the buffer with specific public methods.
This large block of code is repeated nearly verbatim in LibWeb. Move it
to a helper function that both LibIPC and LibWeb can defer to. This will
let us make changes to this method in a singular location going forward.
Note this is a bit of a regression for the MessagePort. It now suffers
from the same performance issue that IPC messages face - we prepend the
meessage size to the message buffer. This degredation is very temporary
though, as a fix is imminent, and this change makes that fix easier.
The type of MessageBuffer will be changing, and it was a bit awkward to
look around to find where the forward declaration was. This patch just
moves it to the obvious forwarding header.
This commit un-deprecates DeprecatedString, and repurposes it as a byte
string.
As the null state has already been removed, there are no other
particularly hairy blockers in repurposing this type as a byte string
(what it _really_ is).
This commit is auto-generated:
$ xs=$(ack -l \bDeprecatedString\b\|deprecated_string AK Userland \
Meta Ports Ladybird Tests Kernel)
$ perl -pie 's/\bDeprecatedString\b/ByteString/g;
s/deprecated_string/byte_string/g' $xs
$ clang-format --style=file -i \
$(git diff --name-only | grep \.cpp\|\.h)
$ gn format $(git ls-files '*.gn' '*.gni')
This prevents fd leaks when the user of the API forgets to pass
CloseAfterSending to IPC::File. Since we are calling leak_fd in the
constructor, we want it to also take care of closing.
This is a generic wrapper for a time instant relative to the unix epoch,
and does not account for leap seconds. It should be used in place of
Duration in most current cases.
That's what this class really is; in fact that's what the first line of
the comment says it is.
This commit does not rename the main files, since those will contain
other time-related classes in a little bit.
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.
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.
This class had slightly confusing semantics and the added weirdness
doesn't seem worth it just so we can say "." instead of "->" when
iterating over a vector of NNRPs.
This patch replaces NonnullRefPtrVector<T> with Vector<NNRP<T>>.
`Stream` will be qualified as `AK::Stream` until we remove the
`Core::Stream` namespace. `IODevice` now reuses the `SeekMode` that is
defined by `SeekableStream`, since defining its own would require us to
qualify it with `AK::SeekMode` everywhere.
This was a footgun waiting to happen. The StringView encoder is only
used internally within IPC::Encoder to encode DeprecatedString. It does
not encode its null state nor its length. If someone were to innocently
use the StringView encoder as it is, and then decode a DeprecatedString
on the remote end, the decoding would be corrupt.
This changes the StringView encoder to do the work the DeprecatedString
encoder is currently doing, and the latter now just forwards to it.
While refactoring the IPC encoders and decoders for fallibility, the
inconsistency in which we transfer container sizes was a frequent thing
to trip over. We currently transfer sizes as any of i32, u32, and u64.
This adds a helper to transfer sizes in one consistent way.
Two special cases here are DeprecatedString and Vector, whose encoding
is depended upon by netdb, so that is also updated here.
