It provides a way for filesystems to cache a lookup failure and
therefore prevents repeated lookups of missing entries. This is a
common scenario for example in command lookup and compiling, where
each directory in PATH or each include directory is searched for the
given entry.
The individual debug heap implementations are now exposed via a
structure of function pointers and a common frontend dispatches the
malloc and malloc_debug APIs through them.
The MALLOC_DEBUG environment variable can be used to select the guarded
heap by adding 'g', otherwise the debug heap is used as the default.
Consequently the separate libroot_guarded is not needed anymore and has
been removed.
To allow the use of environment variables this early, init_env_post_heap
has been added and the heap dependent atfork() moved there. This allowed
to fold the code of init_heap_post_env into init_heap so the former has
been removed.
* Killing the thread leaks resources, and it will terminate cleanly and
safely when the destructor exits anyway.
* Fixes #12293. Thanks to ttcoder, jackburton and bonefish for investigating!
* Does not fix #12286. Going to bissect now...
* This is done by watching to registrar notifications
and providing a minimal service to contact the
media roster in private API. The roster use this
service to automatically reconnect to the media_server.
* Improve consistency by adding a BMediaRosterEx destructor
and using it for the specular functionality of ctor instead
to use the father's class destructor.
* Avoid double initialization of MediaInitializer that
becomes MediaRosterUndertaker.
* Remove superfluos call to BMediaRoster::Quit()
in media_addon_server.
For defining the text that appears alongside the icon.
This function really has too many parameters; we probably should break
it out into a BAction class...
* This also fixes the shutdown process, as the registrar no longer
kills the app_server.
* Removed SERVER_PORT_NAME definition as it has no use anymore.
* When creating the port of the registrar's authentication manager, we
now set it manually, so that the user/group functions work.
* This allows LaunchDaemon::_StartSession() to set up the user, and
groups as needed.
* Instead, the caller should have done this already. This is really
outside of the scope of the launch_daemon.
* Fixed Login with empty passwords; removed the (unused) test login
feature along the way.
* You can now add arbitrarily named fields to the message as well,
without having them all specified in the template.
* Also added a missing converter method that is called when there
are no values to add, and implemented all methods in the base
class, so that you only have to implement the methods you actually
need.
* BRoster now allows settings a "no-registrar" mode that is currently
only honored in _LaunchApp(), though.
* Job::Launch() is now using this, which also allows launching
applications by signature (ie. if the job name matches the
signature, you can omit the "launch" option).
* You can now put jobs/services into a target.
* Instead of having Login started as part of the normal boot process,
it's now in the "login" target.
* The app_server now launches the login target when a login becomes
available (ie. during startup, but that could be improved later on).
* Instead of launching Tracker/Deskbar directly, we now launch the
Login application.
* This will now start a new session for the selected user (the password
is currently ignored).
* When a user session is started, the launch_daemon forks, and the
child then restarts the LaunchDaemon application in user mode.
* It then registers itself with its parent, in order to resolve user
dependent services.
* Added a user launch file that will cause Tracker, and Deskbar to
start in the new session.
* get_roster_port_name() is no longer needed.
* This also removes the app_server restart code from the debug
server -- this will be done by the launch_daemon in the future.
* Instead of letting the kernel search for the syslog port, the
daemon now registers itself with the kernel (which even solves
a TODO).
* A port is created for the actual log messages from the launch_daemon,
and used on start.
* However, the SyslogTest does not yet work, due to the BMessage <->
KMessage communication problems.
* These methods don't really work yet, as BMessage doesn't support
replying with a KMessage; the request is received, but the reply
never gets to the target.
* Dropped "create_port" -- this is now the default for services.
* Additionally (or alternatively, if you use the "legacy" mode), you can
now create named ports, and specify their capacity.
* Added convenience methods to BLaunchRoster that automatically use the
signature of the current be_app.
* BRoster::Launch() cannot be used (yet), as it pre-registers the
application we're launching, and that won't work for the registrar or
anything else until the registrar is up and running.
* Renamed B_GET_LAUNCH_CONNECTIONS to B_GET_LAUNCH_DATA.
* Add the team ID to the get-launch-data reply.
* Added BLaunchRoster::GetPort() for convenience.
* Removed some superfluous debug output, but temporarily dump all stdio
to /dev/dprintf (ie. the syslog).
* Made job matching case insensitive (as MIME types should be).
* This enables a mechanism to profile almost the complete boot process
(starting with main2()), if SYSTEM_PROFILER is defined to 1.
* You can access the profiling data using "profile -r".
* This will be heavily inspired by Apple's launchd, as well as
systemd -- for now it really doesn't do a whole lot, though.
* What works so far: the configuration files are read, parsed, and
the jobs created.
* The jobs are even initialized, and their message ports created.
* BApplication now retrieves a previously created port from the
launch_daemon for use with BServer.
* Only the registrar actually uses this for now.
BColumnListView:
- Add helper method for getting the visible rect of a given field.
Refactor SuggestTextPosition to use it.
{Tree,Table}:
- Add wrapper to retrieve table cell rect using the aforementioned
BCLV helper.
The media_server is now able to remember the timesource associated to
a certain registered_node and always remove it when the owner
application crash, Fixes Ticket #11852
* Was leaking fQueuedJobs on destruction.
* fHaveRunnableJobSem implementation was not completed; it was never
released.
* Added Pop() variant that is a bit more flexible, and allows for a
timeout as well as waiting even when the queue is empty, and can
return a status code.
* Fixes sharing semantics, so non-shared semaphores in non-shared
memory do not become shared after a fork.
* Adds two new system calls: _user_mutex_sem_acquire/release(),
which reuse the user_mutex address-hashed wait mechanism.
* Named semaphores continue to use traditional sem_id semaphores.
* Put it in the BSupportKit namespace, following the style introduced
with the package kit for now.
* The BSupportKit::BJob class no longer knows about the package kit's
Context class. However, the BPackageKit::BJob class does.
* Due to the namespace juggling, a lot of files had to be touched.
* The JobQueue class remains private.
* Due to the way Haiku is built on itself, you cannot build this change
under Haiku with an older release.
* When you receive a message from a KMessage, and reply to it,
it will automatically reply as KMessage, too.
* This allows to communicate with BLoopers from within the kernel
or libroot.so.
