Problem:
- Many constructors are defined as `{}` rather than using the ` =
default` compiler-provided constructor.
- Some types provide an implicit conversion operator from `nullptr_t`
instead of requiring the caller to default construct. This violates
the C++ Core Guidelines suggestion to declare single-argument
constructors explicit
(https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines#c46-by-default-declare-single-argument-constructors-explicit).
Solution:
- Change default constructors to use the compiler-provided default
constructor.
- Remove implicit conversion operators from `nullptr_t` and change
usage to enforce type consistency without conversion.
These changes are arbitrarily divided into multiple commits to make it
easier to find potentially introduced bugs with git bisect.Everything:
The modifications in this commit were automatically made using the
following command:
find . -name '*.cpp' -exec sed -i -E 's/dbg\(\) << ("[^"{]*");/dbgln\(\1\);/' {} \;
If we're sharing buffers, we only want to share trivial structures
as anything else could potentially share internal pointers, which
most likely is going to cause problems due to different address
spaces.
Fix the GUI::SystemTheme structure, which was not trivial, which
is now caught at compile time.
Fixes#3650
This patch introduces IPC::Connection which becomes the new base class
of ClientConnection and ServerConnection. Most of the functionality
has been hoisted up to the base class since almost all of it is useful
on both sides.
This gives us the ability to send synchronous messages in both
directions, which is needed for the WebContent server process.
Unlike other servers, WebContent does not mind blocking on a response
from its client.
The new ImageDecoder service (available for members of "image" via
/tmp/portal/image) allows you to decode images in a separate process.
This will allow programs to confidently load untrusted images, since
the bulk of the security concerns are sandboxed to a separate process.
The only API right now is a synchronous IPC DecodeImage() call that
takes a shbuf with encoded image data and returns a shared buffer and
metadata for the decoded image.
It also comes with a very simple library for interfacing with the
ImageDecoder service: LibImageDecoderClient. The name is a bit of a
mouthful but I guess we can rename it later if we think of something
nicer to call it.
There's obviously a bit of overhead to spawning a separate process
for every image decode, so this is mostly only appropriate for
untrusted images (e.g stuff downloaded from the web) and not necessary
for trusted local images (e.g stuff in /res)
