This patch introduces code generation for the WindowServer IPC with
its clients. The client/server endpoints are defined by the two .ipc
files in Servers/WindowServer/: WindowServer.ipc and WindowClient.ipc
It now becomes significantly easier to add features and capabilities
to WindowServer since you don't have to know nearly as much about all
the intricate paths that IPC messages take between LibGUI and WSWindow.
The new system also uses significantly less IPC bandwidth since we're
now doing packed serialization instead of passing fixed-sized structs
of ~600 bytes for each message.
Some repaint coalescing optimizations are lost in this conversion and
we'll need to look at how to implement those in the new world.
The old CoreIPC::Client::Connection and CoreIPC::Server::Connection
classes are removed by this patch and replaced by use of ConnectionNG,
which will be renamed eventually.
Goodbye, old WindowServer IPC. You served us well :^)
Previously it was not possible to see what each thread in a process was
up to, or how much CPU it was consuming. This patch fixes that.
SystemMonitor and "top" now show threads instead of just processes.
"ps" is gonna need some more fixing, but it at least builds for now.
Fixes#66.
Client-side connection objects must now provide both client and server
endpoint types. When a message is received from the server side, we try
to decode it using both endpoint types and then send it to the right
place for handling.
This now makes it possible for AudioServer to send unsolicited messages
to its clients. This opens up a ton of possibilities :^)
While you are typing in HackStudio, we re-lex the C++ as you type,
so this means we also need to keep re-checking for matching curlies and
parentheses at the cursor.
Fixes#769 (although it's not optional, because it's too cool. :^)
This works for C++ syntax highlighted text documents by caching the C++
token type in a new "arbitrary data" member of GTextDocumentSpan.
When the cursor is placed immediately before a '{' or immediately after
a '}', we highlight both of these brace buddies by changing their
corresponding spans to have a different background color.
..and spans can also now have a custom background color. :^)
I originally put it in FormWidget because CursorTool was clueless about
painting. This patch adds Tool::on_second_paint() which allows all the
tools to hook into the second paint pass.
This patch implements basic rubber-banding. Perhaps this mechanism can
be generalized somehow, but it's not clear to me how that would work
at the moment.
The Shell also puts each command into its own process group,
which interferes with us trying to do the same here. We don't
really need the shell here anyway, but it means we'll have to
do command splitting ourselves.
This patch adds pthread_create() and pthread_exit(), which currently
simply wrap our existing create_thread() and exit_thread() syscalls.
LibThread is also ported to using LibPthread.
You can now manipulate the widget selection either by clicking and
dragging the widgets using the cursor tool, or by interacting with
the form widget tree view. :^)
Using the default cursor bitmap as the cursor tool icon in HackStudio
was predictably making it impossible to tell if it's the real cursor
or not. Replace it with a color-inverted cursor. :^)
We now use the magical widget registry to factory-construct widgets and
place them into the form.
This will need all kinds of work, but it's nice that the mechanism is
working as intended.
I'll be reconstructing parts of the VisualBuilder application here and
then we can retire VisualBuilder entirely once all the functionality
is available in HackStudio.
Note that you are not allowed to remove the very last editor.
These keybinds are all temporary while I figure out what the right ones
should be. I'm not exactly sure how, but it'll reveal itself. :^)
This fixes the bug seen in my monthly OS update video, where we'd look
through a stale copy of each file, instead of the potentially edited
version in the GTextDocument.
Search results are now also represented as a full GTextRange, and when
you jump to a search result, we select the whole matching range. :^)
When hovering over a C++ token that we have a man page for, we now show
the man page in a tooltip window.
This feels rather bulky at the moment, but the basic mechanism is quite
neat and just needs a bunch of tuning.
