This change unfortunately cannot be atomically made without a single
commit changing everything.
Most of the important changes are in LibIPC/Connection.cpp,
LibIPC/ServerConnection.cpp and LibCore/LocalServer.cpp.
The notable changes are:
- IPCCompiler now generates the decode and decode_message functions such
that they take a Core::Stream::LocalSocket instead of the socket fd.
- IPC::Decoder now uses the receive_fd method of LocalSocket instead of
doing system calls directly on the fd.
- IPC::ConnectionBase and related classes now use the Stream API
functions.
- IPC::ServerConnection no longer constructs the socket itself; instead,
a convenience macro, IPC_CLIENT_CONNECTION, is used in place of
C_OBJECT and will generate a static try_create factory function for
the ServerConnection subclass. The subclass is now responsible for
passing the socket constructed in this function to its
ServerConnection base; the socket is passed as the first argument to
the constructor (as a NonnullOwnPtr<Core::Stream::LocalServer>) before
any other arguments.
- The functionality regarding taking over sockets from SystemServer has
been moved to LibIPC/SystemServerTakeover.cpp. The Core::LocalSocket
implementation of this functionality hasn't been deleted due to my
intention of removing this class in the near future and to reduce
noise on this (already quite noisy) PR.
This is an encapsulation of the common work done by all of our
single-client IPC servers on startup:
1. Create a Core::LocalSocket, taking over an accepted fd.
2. Create an application-specific ClientConnection object,
wrapping the socket.
It's not a huge change in terms of lines saved, but I do feel that it
improves expressiveness. :^)
These ones all manage their storage internally, whereas the WebContent
and ImageDecoder ones require the caller to manage their lifetime. This
distinction is not obvious to the user without looking through the code,
so an API that makes this clearer would be nice.
With this change, System::foo() becomes Core::System::foo().
Since LibCore builds on other systems than SerenityOS, we now have to
make sure that wrappers work with just a standard C library underneath.
Derivatives of Core::Object should be constructed through
ClassName::construct(), to avoid handling ref-counted objects with
refcount zero. Fixing the visibility means that misuses like this are
more difficult.
This commit adds a new request to the FileSystemAccessServer
endpoint, allowing the clients to get read-only access to a file
without getting a Dialog-box prompting the user for access.
This is only meant to be used in cases where the user has asked
specifically to open a file through the command-line arguments.
In those cases, I believe it makes sense for the read-only access
to be implicit. Always prompting the user gets a bit annoying,
especially if you just quickly want to open a file through the CLI.
The new request name has been made extremely specific to make sure
that it's only used when appropriate.
This transitions from synchronous IPC calls to asynchronous IPC calls
provided through a synchronous interface in LibFileSystemAccessClient
which allows the parent Application to stay responsive.
It achieves this with Promise which is pumping the Application event
loop while waiting for the Dialog to respond with the user's action.
LibFileSystemAccessClient provides a lazy singleton which also ensures
that FileSystemAccessServer is running in the event of a crash.
This also transitions TextEditor into using LibFileSystemAccessClient.
If a user picks a file which can't be opened for some reason, we should
still return the value, so client applications can report the error
along with the chosen filepath.
Adds new service FileSystemAccessServer which allows programs to
request a file descriptor for any file on the file system.
The user can be prompted to choose the path with a FilePicker, or the
path can be provided by the application which will show a MessageBox
showing the pid and name of the calling process and allows the user to
approve or deny the request.
