It allows to launch the app, but keep its main thread suspended instead
of automatically resuming it.
Also add appThread argument which allows to retrieve the main thread of
the launched team.
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 first problem was the O(n^2) complexity of the algorithm, it's
now linear and try to act in a circular way by dispatching
events and reading the port in a balanced way. This exclude
a certain degree of possible deadlocks.
* Add detection and escape when the system try to kill the
thread. This solve some blocking issues on exit et similia
that i had with libjackcompat.
* The algorithm choose soon which event to focus on.
* Lateness is calculated just before the event is dispatched
as it is the more appropriate place, otherwise we would be
calculating something imprecise/guessed.
* Remove timed_event_queue::queued_time. It's more precise to
just use the RealTime() before to Dispatch the event.
* It should solve the BSoundPlayer lateness problems.
* With those improvements the media_kit is not going to lock
completely under stress conditions, instead it try to work
in a best effort shape.
* There's still room for improvements, for example i'm considering some
strategies in lateness situations such as update scheduling latency,
try to decrease waiting time and detect when we are too early on
the other hand to recover when the load go down.
* Thanks to Julian Harnath for sharing his WIP patch which helped
with some controls such as avoiding negative lateness.
* Comments are welcome!
* B_AUTO_UPDATE_SIZE_LIMITS only really makes sense for resizable
windows, and it only sets the minimum/maximum window size.
* ResizeToPreferred() resizes the window to its preferred size, and
also supports height-for-width layouts.
* Due to the needs to provide a peaceful UX, i moved out the
notifications mechanism from the Media preflet and i have
integrated it with the launch and shutdown functions of MediaDefs.h.
* This implied to introduce a new launch_media_server function
similar to the shutdown_media_server allowing to specify a custom
notification function too.
* Both functions then are reworked to send by default notifications
to the Deskbar, this was needed because in a lot of situations
the mechanism failed without correctly noticing the user.
* The one argument launch_media_server is considered to be deprecated,
the default argument is removed to mantain binary compatibility but
make new apps to automatically use the new one with just the default
arguments. This is needed due to conflicts in overloading.
* Improve notifications by indirectly extending localization
to old BeOS apps.
* 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.
* 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).
* 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.
* Address TODO about setting fSelected when nothing is done.
* Pass a pointer to the tab view to the BTab so that it can call Invalidate().
(Checked against BeOS).
* Call Invalidate() from the BTab after SetView() & SetName().
Fixes#12108 & #12196.
netresolv (and libbind) won't cache DNS requests, which can result in a
lot of DNS requests being made for the same host. Implement a simple
cache in RAM (local to each application) which will keep the most
recently requested addresses cached. This can speed up loading of an
HTTP page a lot, by saving a DNS request for each resource stored on the
same server as the main page.
* 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.
"Renaming" means the icu namespace is suffixed with the version number,
atm icu_55. Using "renaming" allows to use two different versions of ICU,
thus easing upgrades. For instance haikuwebkit uses a current version of ICU,
while the system uses a newer one after an upgrade.
* Replace all uses of the icu namespace in our public headers, with a macro
defaulting to icu. As the namespace is only used for private fields pointers,
there should be no impact.
* Locale kit *.cpp have to import the macro from <unicode/uversion.h> *before*
including any locale headers. Ditto for a Time preferences cpp file. This way,
the correct current icu namespace is referenced.
* Fixes bug #12057.
Those return uintNN_t types instead of our own types,
but uint32 for example is long while uint32_t isn't,
giving some trouble with the PRI* macros for example on PPC.
It works analoguous to BView::RemoveSelf(), i.e. it removes itself from
the parent (layout in this case) and returns whether or not it had and
was successfully removed from said parent.
The BNetworkRoute class manages a route_entry and the sockaddr's
associated with it. It replaces the direct use of route_entry in the
BNetworkInterface API.
Using route_entry is fragile and inconvenient as it only holds pointers
to the sockaddr's. When getting a list of routes from the kernel, each
route_entry is set up so that its pointers point into the single flat
buffer that is passed around. Creating a copy of the route_entry and
then deleting the flat buffer makes the pointers in the copy stale.
Returning these route entries therefore always lead to a use-after-free
when they were eventually used.
BNetworkRoute also takes over the code and functionallity of getting
routes from RouteSupport. The corresponding method in BNetworkRoster is
replaced by a static method in BNetworkRoute.
Also distinguish between the default route and gateway of an interface.
GetDefaultRoute() now gets the default BNetworkRoute for the interface
while GetDefaultGateway() gets the associated gateway address within
that default route. Adjust network preferences panel to this change.
Note that we currently only seem to have per interface default routes
and not an actual global default route. This was already the case before
these changes and I did not further investigate what this means.
* And call it from the DNS client -- this is the only add-on that does
not trigger a configuration or settings update, so we have to notify
the changes manually.
* Get{Interface|Network|Service}() methods are now const.
* Added variants of Interface(), and Service() that are const.
* Added new BNetworkServiceSettings::IsRunning() convenience method that
reflects the status quo rather than the settings.
* Added BNetworkInterfaceListItem that can be used by interface protocol
add-ons to represent their functionality in the list view.
* It will automatically update itself on changes, and will show the
specified label, and address, if any, as well as indicate whether or
not the family has been disabled (which doesn't work perfectly yet,
as IFF_AUTO_CONFIGURED is on the interface level).
* Therefore, the interface list item will no longer show the address,
but the type of the device instead.
* Introduced the BNetworkConfigurationListener interface that is used
to broadcast network updates to.
* Network now monitors all network, and network settings changes, and
will notify all add-ons about those changes.
* Removed the global apply button. Instead, the static IP configuration
now got that button. All other changes will be instant.
* Added (still incomplete) helper classes for the settings messages.
* The net_server now uses these classes for its interfaces, and services.
* Renamed service_address to service_connection, as that better matches
what it is used for.
* As experimental API class BNetworkSettings.
* Added add/remove methods for interfaces, and services, too.
* Moved the conversion of the wireless networks into the settings class,
too, so that it only gives out converted ones (but accepts both
variants).
* The interfaces logic is within the main application, so is the
new interface view.
* Disabling/renegotiating does not work yet.
* Reveals a bug in some interface code; when you click on an ethernet
device first, there is no place for the wireless menu. When you then
press on a wireless device, it crashes in BMenuField code.
In the other direction, there is then an empty space.
* Fixed list item width reporting.
