This feels a lot more consistent and Unixy:
create_shared_buffer() => shbuf_create()
share_buffer_with() => shbuf_allow_pid()
share_buffer_globally() => shbuf_allow_all()
get_shared_buffer() => shbuf_get()
release_shared_buffer() => shbuf_release()
seal_shared_buffer() => shbuf_seal()
get_shared_buffer_size() => shbuf_get_size()
Also, "shared_buffer_id" is shortened to "shbuf_id" all around.
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.
This patch adds a new "accept" promise that allows you to call accept()
on an already listening socket. This lets programs set up a socket for
for listening and then dropping "inet" and/or "unix" so that only
incoming (and existing) connections are allowed from that point on.
No new outgoing connections or listening server sockets can be created.
In addition to accept() it also allows getsockopt() with SOL_SOCKET
and SO_PEERCRED, which is used to find the PID/UID/GID of the socket
peer. This is used by our IPC library when creating shared buffers that
should only be accessible to a specific peer process.
This allows us to drop "unix" in WindowServer and LookupServer. :^)
It also makes the debugging/introspection RPC sockets in CEventLoop
based programs work again.
Build them if they don't exist, but don't care about them being
newer or older than the target.
I believe this is what was causing build loops where IPCCompiler was
being run a second time, rebuilding its .h file, then a library
would depend on that .h file and get re-archived, then an
application would need relinking, and something in that whole
process would trigger IPCCompiler running again touching its .h
file.
Use a pthread_cond_t to have the ASMixer thread wait until a client has
connected and added a buffer queue to the "pending mixing" vector.
This solves the long-standing issue of the system "idling" at ~8% CPU.
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.
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.
Instead of passing the PIDs back and forth in a handshake "Greet"
message, just use getsockopt(SO_PEERCRED) on both sides to get the same
information from the kernel.
This is a nice little simplification of the IPC protocol, although it
does not get rid of the handshake since we still have to pass the
"client ID" from the server to each client so they know how to refer
to themselves. This might not be necessary and we might be able to get
rid of this later on.
This matches what we're already calling the server-side subclasses
better, though we'll probably want to find some better names for the
client-side classes eventually.
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 :^)
This patch adds muting to ASMixer, which works by substituting what we
would normally send to the sound card with zero-filled memory instead.
We do it this way to ensure that the queued sample buffers keep getting
played (silently.)
This is obviously not the perfect way of doing this, and in the future
we should improve on this, and also find a way to utilize any hardware
mixing functions in the sound card.
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.
LibAudio now supports pausing playback, clearing the buffer queue,
retrieving the played samples since the last clear and retrieving
the currently playing shared buffer id
When playing an ABuffer, the count of samples were determined by the
size of the SharedBuffer. This caused small pauses of up to 512
samples during the playback, when the size of the shared buffer was
rounded up to a multiple of 4096. This problem was amplified by the
fact that the AResampleHelper was created every time a new chunk of
audio was to be processed, causing inconsistencies in the playback of
wav files.
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.
Fork the IPC Connection classes into Server:: and Client::ConnectionNG.
The new IPC messages are serialized very snugly instead of using the
same generic data structure for all messages.
Remove ASAPI.h since we now generate all of it from AudioServer.ipc :^)
Instead of doing everything manually in C++, let's do some codegen.
This patch adds a crude but effective IPC definition parser, along
with two initial definition files for the AudioServer's client and
server endpoints.
The goal here is to generate most of this code from IPC protocol
descriptions, but for now I've spelled them all out to get started.
Each message gets a wrapper class in the ASAPI_Client or ASAPI_Server
namespace. They are convertible to and from the old message structs.
The real hotness happens when you want to make a synchronous request
to the other side:
auto response = send_sync<ASAPI_Client::GetMainMixVolume>();
Each request class knows his corresponding response class, so in the
above example, "response" will be an ASAPI_Server::DidGetMainMixVolume
object, and we can get the volume like so:
int volume = response.volume();
For posting messages that don't expect a response, you can still use
post_message() since the message classes are convertible:
post_message(ASAPI_Server::DidGetMainMixVolume(volume));
It's not perfect yet, but I already really like it. :^)
