* 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.htmlhttp://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
* dbus-1.pc.in, dbus-glib-1.pc.in: rename these from
dbus-1.0.pc.in, dbus-glib-1.0.pc.in. As these change with the
parallel install API version, not with the D-BUS package version.
* HACKING: move some of README over here
* README: updates, and document API/ABI policy
* configure.in: reindentation
* dbus/dbus-test.c (dbus_internal_symbol_do_not_use_run_tests):
fix build when --disable-tests
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): put HACKING in here
* HACKING: document procedure for making a tarball release.
* dbus/dbus-types.h: add dbus_unichar
* dbus/dbus-internals.c (_dbus_verbose): use _dbus_getenv
* dbus/dbus-connection.c (dbus_connection_send_message): return
TRUE on success
* dbus/dbus-transport.c: include dbus-watch.h
* dbus/dbus-connection.c: include dbus-message-internal.h
* HACKING: add file with coding guidelines stuff.
* dbus/dbus-string.h, dbus/dbus-string.c: Encapsulate all string
handling here, for security purposes (as in vsftpd). Not actually
using this class yet.
* dbus/dbus-sysdeps.h, dbus/dbus-sysdeps.c: Encapsulate all
system/libc usage here, as in vsftpd, for ease of auditing (and
should also simplify portability). Haven't actually moved all the
system/libc usage into here yet.
