GEventLoop was just a dummy subclass of CEventLoop anyway. The only
thing it actually did was make sure a GWindowServerConnectionw was
instantiated. We now take care of that in GApplication instead.
CEventLoop is now non-virtual and a little less confusing. :^)
Okay, I've spent a whole day on this now, and it finally kinda works!
With this patch, CObject and all of its derived classes are reference
counted instead of tree-owned.
The previous, Qt-like model was nice and familiar, but ultimately also
outdated and difficult to reason about.
CObject-derived types should now be stored in RefPtr/NonnullRefPtr and
each class can be constructed using the forwarding construct() helper:
auto widget = GWidget::construct(parent_widget);
Note that construct() simply forwards all arguments to an existing
constructor. It is inserted into each class by the C_OBJECT macro,
see CObject.h to understand how that works.
CObject::delete_later() disappears in this patch, as there is no longer
a single logical owner of a CObject.
Now that we support more than 2 clients per shared buffer, we can use them
for window icons. I didn't do that previously since it would have made the
Taskbar process unable to access the icons.
This opens up some nice possibilities for programmatically generated icons.
This behavior and API was extremely counter-intuitive since our default
behavior was for applications to never exit after you close all of their
windows.
Now that we exit the event loop by default when the very last GWindow is
deleted, we don't have to worry about this.
As a consequence, move to use an explicit handshake() method rather than
calling virtuals from the constructor. This seemed to not bother
AClientConnection, but LibGUI crashes (rightfully) because of it.
In order to repaint the GUI after the sound thread has produced some sweet
new waves, we post a CCustomEvent to the main thread's event loop and then
wake up that event loop via CEventLoop::wake().
* Add a LibAudio, and move WAV file parsing there (via AWavFile and AWavLoader)
* Add CLocalSocket, and CSocket::connect() variant for local address types.
We make some small use of this in WindowServer (as that's where we
modelled it from), but don't get too invasive as this PR is already
quite large, and the WS I/O is a bit carefully done
* Add an AClientConnection which will eventually be used to talk to
AudioServer (and make use of it in Piano, though right now it really
doesn't do anything except connect, using our new CLocalSocket...)
This frees up the main thread to draw the GUI. The secondary thread uses
a pipe to trick the main thread's event loop to break out of select() and
update() the PianoWidget. :^)
The idea here is to implement a simple synhesizer that allows you to play
music with your keyboard. :^)
It's a huge hack currently but we can improve upon this.
