I noticed these when playing with the demo locally:
- Use RGB32 instead of RGBA32 for the bitmap buffer. This avoids some
flickering that would sometimes occur.
- Clip the gradient fill to the widget rect rather than the painter
clip rect. In practice, the painter was always clipped to the widget
rect here, but it seems logical to say "fill widget with gradient."
This was a missing feature in the PT_TRACEME command.
This feature allows the tracer to interact with the tracee before the
tracee has started executing its program.
It will be useful for automatically inserting a breakpoint at a
debugged program's entry point.
Since the returned object is now owned by the callee object, we can
simply vend a ChildType&. This allows us to use "." instead of "->"
at the call site, which is quite nice. :^)
This patch adds two new API's:
- WidgetType& GUI::Window::set_main_widget<WidgetType>();
This creates a new main widget for a window, assigns it, and returns
it to you as a WidgetType&.
- LayoutType& GUI::Widget::set_layout<LayoutType>();
Same basic idea, creates a new layout, assigns it, and returns it to
you as a LayoutType&.
If a directory is renamed or deleted before 'make clean', git will
delete the Makefile but leave all of the object and dependency files
around. When make would try to recurse into that directory from the
wildcard, it would error out since there is no Makefile.
This was only used by HashTable::dump() which I used when doing the
first HashTable implementation. Removing this allows us to also remove
most includes of <AK/kstdio.h>.
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.
At a later date we'll probably want a template for SHLIB_OBJS and
SHLIB or some such, but for now at least the library demo isn't
printing compile commands all over the user's terminal.
Now that gcc knows about crtbeginS and crtendS, and knows not to link
crt0.o into shared objects, we can get rid of the hacks required due to
--nostartfiles.
The LinkDemo program calls dlopen/dlsym/dlclose to try and load
a dyanmic library from /usr/lib. It read a global variable and
calls a global function (extern "C" of course :) ).
There a few hacks left in the LinkLib dynamic library, however.
In order to get the linker to stop complaining, we have to use
-nostartfiles -ffreestanding otherwise it will link crt0.o to our
shared object, which is definitely not right as the _init function
for a main program (that calls main) is not suitable for our lib
Instead of directly manipulating LDFLAGS, set LIB_DEPS in each
subdirectory Makefile listing the libraries needed for
building/linking such as "LIB_DEPS = Core GUI Draw IPC Core".
This adds each library as an -L and -l argument in LDFLAGS, but
also adds the library.a file as a link dependency on the current
$(PROGRAM). This causes the given library to be (re)built before
linking the current $(PROGRAM), but will also re-link any binaries
depending on that library when it is modified, when running make
from the root directory.
Also turn generator tools like IPCCompiler into dependencies on the
files they generate, so they are built on-demand when a particular
directory needs them.
This all allows the root Makefile to just list directories and not
care about the order, as all of the dependency tracking will figure
it out.
GApplication now has a palette. This palette contains all the system
theme colors by default, and is inherited by a new top-level GWidget.
New child widgets inherit their parents palette.
It is possible to override the GApplication palette, and the palette
of any GWidget.
The Palette object contains a bunch of colors, each corresponding to
a ColorRole. Each role has a convenience getter as well.
Each GWidget now has a background_role() and foreground_role(), which
are then looked up in their current palette when painting. This means
that you no longer alter the background color of a widget by setting
it directly, rather you alter either its background role, or the
widget's palette.
Allow everything to be built from the top level directory with just
'make', cleaned with 'make clean', and installed with 'make
install'. Also support these in any particular subdirectory.
Specifying 'make VERBOSE=1' will print each ld/g++/etc. command as
it runs.
Kernel and early host tools (IPCCompiler, etc.) are built as
object.host.o so that they don't conflict with other things built
with the cross-compiler.
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 :^)
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.
