- Remove all deprecated functions
- Audit @todo and FIXME for security issues
2005-01-15 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com> * Land the new message args API and type system. This patch is huge, but the public API change is not really large. The set of D-BUS types has changed somewhat, and the arg "getters" are more geared toward language bindings; they don't make a copy, etc. There are also some known issues. See these emails for details on this huge patch: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dbus/2004-December/001836.html http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dbus/2005-January/001922.html * dbus/dbus-marshal-*: all the new stuff * dbus/dbus-message.c: basically rewritten * dbus/dbus-memory.c (check_guards): with "guards" enabled, init freed blocks to be all non-nul bytes so using freed memory is less likely to work right * dbus/dbus-internals.c (_dbus_test_oom_handling): add DBUS_FAIL_MALLOC=N environment variable, so you can do DBUS_FAIL_MALLOC=0 to skip the out-of-memory checking, or DBUS_FAIL_MALLOC=10 to make it really, really, really slow and thorough. * qt/message.cpp: port to the new message args API (operator<<): use str.utf8() rather than str.unicode() (pretty sure this is right from the Qt docs?) * glib/dbus-gvalue.c: port to the new message args API * bus/dispatch.c, bus/driver.c: port to the new message args API * dbus/dbus-string.c (_dbus_string_init_const_len): initialize the "locked" flag to TRUE and align_offset to 0; I guess we never looked at these anyhow, but seems cleaner. * dbus/dbus-string.h (_DBUS_STRING_ALLOCATION_PADDING): move allocation padding macro to this header; use it to implement (_DBUS_STRING_STATIC): ability to declare a static string. * dbus/dbus-message.c (_dbus_message_has_type_interface_member): change to return TRUE if the interface is not set. * dbus/dbus-string.[hc]: move the D-BUS specific validation stuff to dbus-marshal-validate.[hc] * dbus/dbus-marshal-basic.c (_dbus_type_to_string): move here from dbus-internals.c * dbus/Makefile.am: cut over from dbus-marshal.[hc] to dbus-marshal-*.[hc] * dbus/dbus-object-tree.c (_dbus_decompose_path): move this function here from dbus-marshal.c

- the "break loader" and valid/invalid message tests are all disabled;
they need to be fixed and re-enabled with the new message args stuff.
I think I want to drop the .message files thing and just have code
that generates messages, more like the tests for
2005-02-12 04:30:34 +00:00
dbus-marshal-recursive.c (this is mostly done now, just needs some
cleanup)
- need to define bus behavior if you send a message to
yourself; is it an error, or allowed? If allowed,
we need to have a test for it in the test suite.
- just before 1.0, try a HAVE_INT64=0 build and be sure it runs
- dbus-pending-call.c has some API and thread safety issues to review
- Add test harness for selinux allow/deny cf. this message
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dbus/2005-April/002506.html
- Add a test case for handling the Ping message

- protocol version in each message is pretty silly
Can Be Post 1.0
===
- if the GUID is obtained only during authentication, not in the address,
we could still share the connection
- Allow a dbus_g_proxy_to_string()/g_object_to_string() that
would convert the proxy to an "IOR" and dbus_g_proxy_from_string()
that would decode; using these, dbus-glib users could avoid
DBusConnection entirely. Of course the same applies to other kinds
of binding. This would use dbus_connection_open()'s connection-sharing
feature to avoid massive proliferation of connections.
- DBusWatchList/TimeoutList duplicate a lot of code, as do
protected_change_watch/protected_change_timeout in dbus-connection.c
and dbus-server.c. This could all be mopped up, cut-and-paste
fixed, code size reduced.
2005-02-12 04:30:34 +00:00
- change .service files to allow Names=list in addition to Name=string
- The message bus internal code still says "service" for
"name", "base service" for "unique name", "activate" for
"start"; would be nice to clean up.
- Property list feature on message bus (list of properties associated
with a connection). May also include message matching rules
that involve the properties of the source or destination
connection.
- Disconnecting the remote end on invalid UTF-8 is probably not a good
idea. The definition of "valid" is slightly fuzzy. I think it might
be better to just silently "fix" the UTF-8, or perhaps return an error.
- build and install the Doxygen manual in Makefile when --enable-docs
2003-05-05 19:12:58 +00:00
- if you send the same message to multiple connections, the serial number
will only be right for one of them. Probably need to just write() the serial
number, rather than putting it in the DBusMessage, or something.
- perhaps the bus driver should have properties that reflect attributes
of the session, such as hostname, architecture, operating system,
etc. Could be useful for code that wants to special-case behavior
for a particular host or class of hosts, for example.
- currently the security policy stuff for messages to/from
the bus driver is kind of strange; basically it's hardcoded that
you can always talk to the driver, but the default config file
has rules for it anyway, or something. it's conceptually
screwy at the moment.
- when making a method call, if the call serial were globally unique,
we could forward the call serial along with any method calls made
as a result of the first method call, and allow reentrancy that was
strictly part of the call stack of said method call. But I don't
really see how to do this without making the user pass around the
call serial to all method calls all the time, or disallowing
async calls.
If done post 1.0 will probably be an optional/ugly-API type
of thing.
2003-09-15 Havoc Pennington <hp@pobox.com> * dbus/dbus-pending-call.c: add the get/set object data boilerplate as for DBusConnection, etc. Use generic object data for the notify callback. * glib/dbus-gparser.c (parse_node): parse child nodes * tools/dbus-viewer.c: more hacking on the dbus-viewer * glib/dbus-gutils.c (_dbus_gutils_split_path): add a file to contain functions shared between the convenience lib and the installed lib * glib/Makefile.am (libdbus_glib_1_la_LDFLAGS): add -export-symbols-regex to the GLib library * dbus/dbus-object-tree.c (_dbus_object_tree_dispatch_and_unlock): fix the locking in here, and add a default handler for Introspect() that just returns sub-nodes. 2003-09-14 Havoc Pennington <hp@pobox.com> * glib/dbus-gthread.c (dbus_g_thread_init): rename to make g_foo rather than gfoo consistent * glib/dbus-gproxy.h: delete for now, move contents to dbus-glib.h, because the include files don't work right since we aren't in the dbus/ subdir. * glib/dbus-gproxy.c (dbus_gproxy_send): finish implementing (dbus_gproxy_end_call): finish (dbus_gproxy_begin_call): finish * glib/dbus-gmain.c (dbus_set_g_error): new * glib/dbus-gobject.c (handle_introspect): include information about child nodes in the introspection * dbus/dbus-connection.c (dbus_connection_list_registered): new function to help in implementation of introspection * dbus/dbus-object-tree.c (_dbus_object_tree_list_registered_and_unlock): new function 2003-09-12 Havoc Pennington <hp@pobox.com> * glib/dbus-gidl.h: add common base class for all the foo_info types * tools/dbus-viewer.c: add GTK-based introspection UI thingy similar to kdcop * test/Makefile.am: try test srcdir -ef . in addition to test srcdir = ., one of them should work (yeah lame) * glib/Makefile.am: build the "idl" parser stuff as a convenience library * glib/dbus-gparser.h: make description_load routines return NodeInfo* not Parser* * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): build test dir after all library dirs * configure.in: add GTK+ detection
2003-09-17 03:52:07 +00:00
- I don't want to introduce DBusObject, but refcounting and object
data could still be factored out into an internal "base class"
perhaps.
- document the auth protocol as a set of states and transitions, and
then reimplement it in those terms
2003-10-20 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com> hmm, make check is currently not passing. * doc/dbus-specification.xml: add requirement that custom type names follow the same rules as interface names. * dbus/dbus-protocol.h: change some of the byte codes, to avoid duplication and allow 'c' to be 'custom'; dict is now 'm' for 'map' * doc/dbus-specification.xml: update type codes to match dbus-protocol.h, using the ASCII byte values. Rename type NAMED to CUSTOM. Add type OBJECT_PATH to the spec. 2003-10-17 Havoc Pennington <hp@redhat.com> * bus/driver.c (create_unique_client_name): use "." as separator in base service names instead of '-' * dbus/dbus-string.c (_dbus_string_get_byte): allow getting nul byte at the end of the string * dbus/dbus-internals.h (_DBUS_LIKELY, _DBUS_UNLIKELY): add optimization macros since string validation seems to be a slow point. * doc/dbus-specification.xml: restrict valid service/interface/member/error names. Add test suite code for the name validation. * dbus/dbus-string.c: limit service/interface/member/error names to [0-9][A-Z][a-z]_ * dbus/dbus-connection.c (dbus_connection_dispatch): add missing format arg to verbose spew * glib/dbus-gproxy.c (dbus_gproxy_call_no_reply): if not out of memory, return instead of g_error * test/test-service.c (path_message_func): support emitting a signal on request * dbus/dbus-bus.c (init_connections_unlocked): only fill in activation bus type if DBUS_BUS_ACTIVATION was set; default to assuming the activation bus was the session bus so that services started manually will still register. (init_connections_unlocked): fix so that in OOM situation we get the same semantics when retrying the function * test/test-service.c (main): change to use path registration, to test those codepaths; register with DBUS_BUS_ACTIVATION rather than DBUS_BUS_SESSION

- do we need per-display activation; if so I'd like to do this by setting a
"display ID" property on screen 0, with a GUID, and keying activation by
said GUID. Otherwise you get all kinds of unrobust
string/hostname-based mess. per-screen is then done by appending screen number
to the display. If displays have a deterministic ID like this, you can
do per-display by simply including GUID in the service name.
- optimization and profiling!
