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 |

D-BUS is a simple IPC library based on messages. See also the file HACKING for notes of interest to developers working on D-BUS. See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for lots of documentation, mailing lists, etc. Configuration flags === These are the dbus-specific configuration flags that can be given to the ./configure program. --enable-qt enable Qt-friendly client library --enable-glib enable GLib-friendly client library --enable-tests enable unit test code --enable-ansi enable -ansi -pedantic gcc flags --enable-verbose-mode support verbose debug mode --enable-asserts include assertion checks --enable-checks include sanity checks on public API --enable-docs build documentation (requires Doxygen and jade) --enable-gcov compile with coverage profiling instrumentation (gcc only) --with-xml=libxml/expat XML library to use --with-init-scripts=redhat Style of init scripts to install --with-session-socket-dir=dirname Where to put sockets for the per-login-session message bus --with-test-socket-dir=dirname Where to put sockets for make check --with-system-pid-file=pidfile PID file for systemwide daemon --with-system-socket=filename UNIX domain socket for systemwide daemon API/ABI Policy === D-BUS API/ABI and protocol necessarily remain in flux until we are sure it will meet the various needs it's intended to meet. This means we need to see some significant sample usage in the contexts of GNOME, KDE, desktop applications, and systemwide uses such as print queue monitoring, hotplug events, or whatever. We need the flexibility to incorporate feedback from this sample usage. Once we feel confident in the protocol and the API, we will release a version 1.0. At that point, the intent is: - The protocol will never be broken again; any message bus should work with any client forever. However, extensions are possible where the protocol is extensible. - If the library API is modified incompatibly, we will rename it as in http://ometer.com/parallel.html - in other words, it will always be possible to compile against and use the older API, and apps will always get the API they expect. Until 1.0 is released, feedback that requires API changes may be incorporated into D-BUS. This may break the API, the ABI, the protocol, or all three. To avoid a huge soname, the plan is to increment the soname only between official stable releases, not with every development snapshot. Versions numbered 0.x are considered development snapshots. Until 1.0 is released, you have to define -DDBUS_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE just as a safety check to be sure everyone is aware of this API/ABI policy and has the right expectations. We do need people to test the APIs, so please do use the development snapshots of D-BUS. They are intended to work and we do actively address bugs. However, if you're shipping a commercial binary-only application that needs to keep running on M future versions of N operating systems, you might want to include your own copy of D-BUS rather than relying on the installed copy, for example.
