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.
The database the sql client connected to was 'hardcoded' to the login
name of the calling user.
- Extended the IPC API to be more expressive when connecting, by
returning the name of the database the client connected to in the
'connected' callback.
- Gave the sql client a command line argument (-d/--database) allowing
an alternative database name to be specified
A subsequent commit will have a dot command allowing the user to
connect to different databases from the same sql session.
This patch introduces the SQLServer system server. This service is
supposed to be the only process/application talking to database storage.
This makes things like locking and caching more reliable, easier to
implement, and more efficient.
In LibSQL we added a client component that does the ugly IPC nitty-
gritty for you. All that's needed is setting a number of event handler
lambdas and you can connect to databases and execute statements on them.
Applications that wish to use this SQLClient class obviously need to
link LibSQL and LibIPC.
