Michael Lotz 14156a33ac launch_daemon: Delegate launch data replies to Job.
Previously the LaunchDaemon would send out its own team id when a given
job was not yet launched, leading to invalid BMessengers once the port
owner changed to the actually launched team.

The launch of the target team and the launch data replies were also not
synchronized, which could lead to the launched team getting a reply
pointing to the launch_daemon when requesting data for itself. This is
the case for the BRoster init of the registrar. The fix in hrev49561
therefore didn't always work, because the registrar would sometimes get
the launch_daemon team id instead of the id of itself. It would later
try talking to the launch_daemon, which obviously never replied, leading
to #12237.

The LaunchDaemon now delegates the launch data reply to the Job instead.
The Job either replies directly, in case it has already been launched,
or queues the reply for when the launch completes. This causes launch
data requesters to block until the launch attempt is completed, but
won't block the LaunchDaemon message loop.

This commit introduces the seperate fLaunchStatus to properly handle the
ambiguity of fTeam being < 0, which is the case for both, when no launch
was attempted and when the launch failed. This new field now determines
what IsLaunched() returns and how launch data replies are handled.

The new launch status is additionally protected by the launch status
lock, which will later probably be made broader in scope to protect
against race conditions once service monitoring is implemented.

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 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.
