Augustin Cavalier 0cdb323800 app_server & Application Kit: Fix bitmap cursor handling. Using a memcpy here is supremely dangerous, because we are writing to an app_server buffer that we chose the length for, but using a size that came from the client. And, indeed, because the buffer can contain padding if the BBitmap was allocated with a non-standard BytesPerRow, we will overflow the buffer and corrupt memory, causing app_server to crash. So, instead, reorganize parameters a bit, and pass BytesPerRow along with the other data needed to instantiate the bitmap, and then use ImportBits. Fixes an app_server crash I triggered with the experimental libX11 compatibility layer.		2021-12-11 21:44:59 -05:00

Haiku

Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

Goals

Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
Clean, clear, concise code.
Unified desktop environment.

Trying Haiku

Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.

Compiling Haiku

See ReadMe.Compiling.

Contributing

Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!

Contributing code

Contributing documentation

The main piece of documentation that still needs work are the API docs (found in the tree at docs/user). Just find an undocumented class, write documentation for it, and submit a patch.
