* AS_GET_STRING_WIDTHS now uses this method to send the strings to the app_server;
ie. it no longer sends the whole strings, and it saves sending the string length
separately.
* BFont::StringWidth() will now always return 0.0f in case of an error (instead of
some random value)
* Minor cleanup.

* Reordered some functions
* Area messages can now be unflattened instead of using the private _Reference and a special port code
Passing by area is now mostly working but it's not yet enabled. I will have to conduct performance tests first to see if and starting at what messagesize the overhead is reasonable.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@16500 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added checksum generation and checking
The data itself is now checksummed too (unlike R5 where only the header gets a checksum). This might be a performance problem for larger messages. Opinions?

all those error output from the app_server.
* AS_LAYER_DELETE now gets a token, no longer frightening choice of parent.
* Removed locking in RemoveChild(); it has to be called locked now.
* Removed AS_LAYER_DELETE_ROOT as it's no longer needed.
* Removed support from BView for being PR3 compatible.

used by the Deskbar (for "Hide All" and "Show All"). The latter doesn't work
correctly yet, though, it just maximizes all windows of that application.
* Added a TODO to ServerWindow AS_MINIMIZE_WINDOW on how to make it work correctly.

It might not work 100% correctly yet, but it works good enough to hide the Tracker
status window from the Deskbar, and thus, fixing bug #133.

* Fixed a myriad of bugs all over the place, ranging from locking errors to
deleting objects that don't belong to the one deleting them (hello HWInterface!)
* Almost all ServerWindow cursor stuff was broken; I've replaced all commands
to set a cursor with a single one AS_SET_CURSOR.
* Renamed some cursor commands.
* Changed the (broken) way ServerApp::fAppCursor was maintained - the application
cursor is now NULL as long as possible.
* Removed superfluous ServerCursor app signature stuff.
* The BApplication will no longer duplicate the default/I-beam cursors, it will
just reuse the default ones which now have fixed tokens.
* As a result, changing the cursor is now working as expected, closing bug #102.
* Rewrote Cursor.h, renamed private members to match our style guide.
* Minor cleanup.
What's still left to be done is reference counting the cursor objects to make them
work right and reliable.

letting the looper handle messages to invalid targets - they are now just
dropped.
This fixes bug #93.

* B_MODAL_SUBSET_WINDOW_FEEL now also works as expected.
* Renamed AS_REM_FROM_SUBSET to AS_REMOVE_FROM_SUBSET.

* RootLayer's mouse event processing is now at its minimum - the
EventDispatcher handles them now. As a result, a window will now
get only one message per event.
* RootLayer adds "_view_token" to mouse moved messages that specify
the view currently under the cursor.
* There is now a mouse event layer in RootLayer that gets preferred
when it's set - this is now used for the window moving instead of
the previous mechanism.
* changed the previous DistributeMessage() to an UnpackMessage()
method following Adi's suggestion.
* caveat: some things might be functionally broken in RootLayer now
because of removing the mouse notification stuff.
* "be:transit" handling is now done completely client side by
BWindow::_SanitizeMessage(() (similar to what the input_server does).
This should also make the mechanism pretty robust, since every
B_MOUSE_MOVED message can now trigger the view transit (in case a
message is lost). B_WINDOW_ACTIVATED messages should be generated
client side as well.
* renamed AS_LAYER_GET_MOUSE_COORDS to AS_GET_MOUSE as it's not a
layer specific command, and also gets the mouse buttons.
* B_MOUSE_* messages from the up server now contain only a "screen_where"
field; "where" (in window's coordinates) and "be:view_where" are
added in BMessage::_SanitizeMessage().
* messages that don't have a valid target in the looper are now
dropped instead of being sent to the looper - this should be done
in BLooper as well, though.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@15087 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
task_looper() again.
* removed BMessenger::fPreferred - whenever you had to specify "usePreferred" separately,
you don't have to do that anymore - use B_PREFERRED_TOKEN instead.
* fixed BTokenSpace::GetToken() semantics: it will no longer touch the "object" argument
in case of failure.
* Introduced a BWindow::_DistributeMessage() that will be part of the event dispatcher
counterpart to the app_server (the other will be _DetermineTarget()).
* Made it easier to use Michael's Message4 implementation: just add the following line
to your UserBuildConfig:
AppendToConfigVar DEFINES : HAIKU_TOP src : USING_MESSAGE4 : global ;
* Introduced ServerWindow::HandlerMessenger() and FocusMessenger() - the first will
target the client handler, while the other will target the preferred handler of the
client looper (usually the view having focus).
* Fixed dano message unflattening in the Message4 code.
* Changed BMessage::PrintToStream() to no longer use macros in the Message4 implementation.
* I hope that's all - it's a huge change, but it's all connected.

(but valid again) messenger.
* removed unused stuff (like GetList()).
* some cleanup.

distribute any messages to the clients yet.
* removed the working thread from RootLayer - for now, its event handlers are
still called using input filters in the new event dispatcher, though (to
get things started).
* ServerApp is now using a BMessenger to identify its client, and no longer
stores the port/token separately.
* the input_server handshake is a bit simpler now, as it can now just reply
to the app_server message, removed unused code from ServerProtocol.h
* calmed down the MultiLocker (it always printed thread statistics on startup,
because it's compiled in debug mode).
* removed the cursor thread stuff from AppServer.cpp
* the new event dispatcher now uses a cursor thread when supported (only in
native mode, not in the test environment), although it improves cursor
movement under Qemu, the effect is not as good as expected - this might
need some more investigations (might just be a thread priority problem).

temporary handling code in the app_server.
* RootLayer no longer creates the input_server messaging port - this is now
the responsibility of the input_server.
* Moved AS_CREATE_[OFFSCREEN_]WINDOW from ServerApp::_MessageLooper() to
_DispatchMessage().
* The RootLayer thread is now started as soon as the input_server is there.
* removed or disabled any input_server stuff in the AppServer class.
* removed old message commmands to the app_server.
* Removed the R5_CURSOR_COMM and HAIKU_APPSERVER_COMM definitions: the
input_server is now automatically built correctly depending on the target.
* InputServer::EventLoop() plays now safe and checks for error conditions.
* InputServer::EnqueueDeviceMessage() seems to leak memory, added TODO about
this.
* InputServer event loop messaging uses ports for inner-app communication - why?
* The InputServer event loop thread is no longer killed on exit, it just quits
when its port is gone.
* Minor cleanup in input_server.

* BPrivateScreen now buffers its frame for 0.1 seconds (so that calling it several
times in a row is both consistent and cheap).
* Added GetFrameBufferConfig() call to the HW interface (and implemented it).
* Added server commands AS_VALID_SCREEN_ID, AS_GET_NEXT_SCREEN_ID, and
AS_GET_FRAME_BUFFER_CONFIG.
* BPrivateScreen::BaseAddress() and BPrivateScreen::BytesPerRow() are now working.
* minor cleanup.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@14915 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Introduced and implemented AS_GET_SCREEN_ID_FROM_WINDOW - it only returns B_MAIN_SCREEN_ID,
though.
* renamed ServerWindow::fHandlerToken to fClientToken.
* The BScreen(BWindow *) constructor now really asks the server for the screen ID.
* ServerApp::fWindowList is now a BObjectList.

categories:
* Missing includes (like <stdlib.h> and <string.h>).
* Linking against $(TARGET_LIBSTDC++) instead of libstdc++.r4.so.
* Local variables shadowing parameters.
* Default parameters in function definitions (as opposed to function
declarations).
* All C++ stuff (nothrow, map, set, vector, min, max,...) must be imported
explicitly from the std:: namespace now.
* "new (sometype)[...]" must read "new sometype[...]", even if sometype is
something like "const char *".
* __FUNCTION__ is no longer a string literal (but a string expression), i.e.
'printf(__FUNCTION__ ": ...\n")' is invalid code.
* A type cast results in a non-lvalue. E.g. "(char *)buffer += bytes"
is an invalid expression.
* "friend class SomeClass" only works when SomeClass is known before.
Otherwise the an inner class with that name is considered as friend.
gcc 4 is much pickier about scopes.
* gcc 4 is generally stricter with respect to type conversions in C.

updates.
* Optimized retrieving the font list from the server.
* This greatly simplifies the app_server communication for getting the font
list as well - there are now only 2 commands instead of 6.
* Moved extra font flags creation from ServerApp to FontStyle::Flags().
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@14751 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Simplified server communication a bit: instead of separate queries for font
direction, "is fixed", ... there is now a private extra flags field that is
filled on demand.
* The server command names now describe what the command does, and are not simply
named after the BFont method (AS_SET_FAMILY_AND_STYLE vs. AS_GET_FAMILY_AND_STYLE_IDS).
* Replaced B_SET_SYSFONT_{PLAIN|BOLD|FIXED} with a single B_GET_SYSTEM_FONTS.
* Rewrote Font.h and added our license.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@14741 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
Renamed LinkMsgReceiver.h and LinkMsgSender.h to LinkReceiver.h and LinkSender.h like
the classes they contain.
Split up PortLink.cpp/h into ServerLink.cpp/h and PortLink.cpp/h.

B_TRUETYPE_WINDOWS, though.
* possibly returned an uninitialized error code in some BFont methods.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@14622 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* simplified BFont::SetFamily*() server communication - there is now only
AS_SET_FAMILY_AND_STYLE left, but at least that one works correctly.
* BFont::fFace is now always updated correctly.
* Moved the fFace masking to the server - BFont doesn't know enough to do
this correctly, anyway.
* Only one version of get_font_style() worked correctly.
* Font family/style ID and index were used completely mixed up - this
would have become an issue as soon as the font list changes during
runtime.
* Enabled AS_GET_FONT_DIRECTION again - missing functionality should only
be taken into account on lowest level as long as it can be emulated.
* Made FontServer a bit clearer to use (more to come).
* fixed several allocation leaks in the font server communication.
* New FontStyle::Direction() method, that currently only returns
B_FONT_LEFT_TO_RIGHT, though.
* more cleanup.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@14618 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Sorry to pollute the repository with all those extra files, they will be (re-)moved when the decision about which implementation to use is made.

creation/deletion (and management) over to that class.
ServerApp now gets a desktop pointer, and no longer uses gDesktop.
Converted private MessageLooper::_MessagePort() to a public method MessagePort()
so that the looper can be addressed from elsewhere without using PostMessage().
Added a real basic message loop to MessageLooper::_MessageLoop().
BApplication now only asks the app_server to get its desktop object which should
now be used for everything that's not in the realm of the application.

The unflatten time is now reduced to about a third of the current BMessage implementation but it's still
about half as quick as R5 (we're talking about microseconds here).
A third version of BMessage that operates purely on a flat buffer is in the works. We'll see which one
will be faster for normal uses.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@13821 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added the respective case statement in AppServer::DispatchMessage().
The code that actually activates the app is still missing.
* Removed the remnants of the old way of notifying the registrar about
what app got activated (the activated client window did that).

Message2.cpp is not yet cleaned - more to come...

use it. It is not (yet) included in the build and won't break anything.
As we now only have thin wrappers around the *Data() functions, the templatized implementation does
not make much sense anymore and wouldn't work either.
I started this new implementation to be as clean as possible. Instead of using a std::map and
BDataBuffer it uses BList and BMallocIO. It passes the unit tests and it even seems to be a bit quicker
in some tests (but not as quick as the R5 one).
Flattening/Unflattening does not work yet so you can't use it under Haiku right now. It's completely work in progress (I started it just 4 hours ago).
Shout if you see something completely broken, reviews welcome.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@13776 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Moved setting the default cursor from ServerScreen to Desktop
* Getting the default cursor is now done using the CursorManager
* Removed outdated setcursor from SysCursor.cpp (we have a new implementation by now)
* Renamed SysCursor.cpp to CursorSet.cpp as that's what it is
* Moved headers/private/app/SysCursor.h to headers/private/servers/app/CursorSet.h
* Removed some unneeded header includes along the way
There remains {set|get}_syscursor now in CursorSet.cpp. Serverside for these are not implemented
and they are obvious hacks. Do we need to keep them?
Also this commit _would_ break Appearance, but 1) all the related code is currently commented out
with the comment "cursor set management belongs in another app" and 2) it is already broken
because of ColorSet.

the desktop's settings, you have to do something like this:
DesktopSettings settings(desktop);
settings.SetMouseMode(mode);
The advantage of this is that this object is fully locked, and cannot lead to
corrupted settings anymore. Also, the settings will stay the same until you
delete the object again.
Updated all accesses to use this new API.
Removed no longer used FFM messages.
Implemented AS_{GET|SET}_MENU_INFO for future use.

Fixed handling in ServerWindow as stippi's latest commit broke it.
It's now properly done with a separate ServerWindow::SetTitle() method,
that will also take care to rename the window's thread.
Changed naming the window thread in the app_server to "w:<team>:<title>".

- it now seems to work finally correctly
- renamed ViewAttr to ViewState and put it into the BPrivate namespace
- some refactoring (moved some private BView methods to ViewState)
- renamed AS_LAYER_MOVETO/RESIZETO to *_TO (note the underscore)
- exchanged BView::originX/Y with fParentOffset (BPoint)
- divided AS_LAYER_GET_COLORS into separate ones for high/low/view color
- BView::SetPattern() now actually works as expected (ie. updates
only if necessary)
- exchanged the ViewAttr::flags with ViewState::valid_flags which inverses
the previous logic (which wasn't even used consistently)
- fState was initialized twice (incorrectly by the ViewAttr constructor,
and then again correctly by initCachedState()) - now the ViewState
constructor does the job alone, but correctly
- BView::PushState() no longer resets the state (it did so only locally
anyway...)
- cleanup

for servers, that don't have a GUI or want to control when the app server
connection is established.
* BServer is necessarily a friend of BApplication, for it uses a private
constructor. Hence BApplication::Private::InitGUIContext() is no longer
needed.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@13315 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
BApplication::Private class for accessing relevant parts.
* Pulled the app server connection and IK initialization out of
InitData() into a new method _InitGUIContext() and introduced a private
constructor that allows to avoid this initialization. This will be used
for servers that don't have GUI respectively want to init the app server
connection later.

to LinkReceiver, LinkMsgSender to LinkSender, and put everything into the
BPrivate namespace.
Made AppServerLink a cheap object - it will use the applications receiver/sender
and not create its own buffers.
Fixed broken communication stuff here and there (mostly Font.cpp).
Put the newly introduced set|get_system_colors() into the BPrivate namespace -
please don't introduce private functions into the public namespace!!!
Also fixed their broken communication use, as Darkwyrm obviously forgot about
it again: the sequence Flush(); GetNextMessage() without error checking is
purely wrong and can make the app hang and/or crash! :-)
Other minor cleanup.
The input_server used some test mode with the haiku build target which is
probably wrong.
Hopefully I did not forget anything this time.

Added LinkMsgReader::NeedsReply() method.
Completely redone ServerApp messaging: no more "replyport" from BAppServerLink; instead,
the registered client reply port is used. Fixed some more weak messaging stuff.
ServerApp now recognizes if an unknown message needs a reply, and sends it - for example,
the "Screen" preferences app no longer hangs, but crashes on start :)
Made LinkMsgReader::Read() virtual again, since it's needed by RAMLinkMsgReader.cpp.
Renamed BPortLink::GetNextReply() to GetNextMessage().
Some more cleanup.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@13004 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
BPortLink::AttachString() now accepts a length argument, and will no longer
send a terminating null byte; LinkMsgReader::ReadString(), however, will
make sure the string read is null terminated.
Changed client communication code to use FlushWithReply() instead of Flush()
and GetNextReply() - there were many bugs and shortcomings in the code, I
hope I've fixed them all.
Converted ClientFontList.cpp to our coding style (but not completely, the
class members are missing).
Some more cleanup - I hope Adi will adopt our coding style one day!

- StartMessage() can now get a size to make sure there is enough free space
- if StartMessage() is called with the current message behind a certain
watermark, the buffer is flushed in order to prevent moving around messages
in the buffer. The actual value should be tested in real life, though.
- enlarged maximum buffer size to 64k
- fixed bug: could use memcpy() to move overlapping memory around
- added a flag to Flush() that marks messages as needing a reply - the other
way would be to mark the message "code" to contain this information
Some cleanup in LinkMsgReader.
BPortLink now has most methods as inlines.
