It is dangerous to let the compiler know about a function without
letting him know the arguments because he won't be able to report
invalid calls.
This patch concern the cases where adding the arguments did not
need other code change.
This is the correct way to tell that a function takes no
arguments, because an empty parameter list tells the compiler
that it is not yet defined, and is tolerated only for
compatibility with very old C compilers for whom prototypes
were not yet a defined language element.
The equality comparison (a == b) is known to be a dangerous trap
when floating-point arithmetics are involved. This patch changes
all the cases which try to do this to a safer check.
The original code allowed to have 0.0, but this can generate
division by zero in WScrollView. As a value of 0.0 is not realistic
anyway, use a minimum constant instead.
Autoconf provides the necessary stuff to detect if inline keyword
is supported, and to detect special syntaxes, so let's use this
and remove the multiple local definitions, this makes code simpler.
When using the formula [sizeof(array) / sizeof( x )] to get the number
of element in a static array, it is better to use array[0] for 'x'
instead of the base type of array:
- in case the base type would change someday;
- if the compiler were deciding to insert padding somewhere
To be able to do this in a clean way, it was necessary to add the
attribute also in PLData's ptr field, which is actually right
because none of the function changes its content.
The function that fills it from a file/pipe however needed small
changes to respect the const-ness of the field.
The first optimisation is to compute only once the path, and then
always re-use the value which did not change anyway.
The second optimisation is to avoid a lot of excessive function
calls, including alloc+free that are not necessary and participate
in memory fragmentation.
According to the way its value is being used everywhere, that is
what would be expected, so let's make it official.
Please note that this may introduce warnings on user code using
this function ("...discard const...") but that's an opportunity
for them to check that their code is not doing anything wrong.
The internal function 'unescapestr' is used to transform strings which
may contain escape sequences (\x) into their plain representation.
There are a few cases where the function can misbehave (typically parse
after the end of string, thus writing past the end of the reserved
result area) which can be a source of problem later. The new code
should be safer.
The previous syntax used an explicit cast to remove the CONST
attribute, but the right way is to keep the attribute and store
the result in a variable which is defined properly.
This makes the WUtil API as much const-correct as possible for
the arguments being given to its functions.
This does not make it totally correct as it does not changes the
const-ness on returned values because the goal of this patch is
to make no visible change to existing program that would use this
library.
Note that the argument is also stored as-is in the PLData structure
but only for debugging purpose (warning display to user), hence the
choice to not duplicate it. As a side effect, it was 'const'-ified
too to reflect that.
As a side note, in 'wfindfileinlist' the first argument should be:
const char * const *path_list
However, due to limited support for const in plain C, that would
introduce warnings in user code. For compatibility issues, this
was not implemented.
A number of functions do not actually modify the strings given as
parameter, but only read or duplicate it. In this case it is a good
practice to mark that parameter as pointer-to-const to let the
compiler known about it, to be able to perform appropriate
optimisations.
WMMergePLDictionaries() and WMSubtractPLDictionaries() are declared to
return WMPropList * but are set to call the wassertr macro when their
arguments do not pass a sanity check. The wassertr macro eventually
calls return with no return value, triggering a compiler warning if
-Wreturn-type is used.
Change wassertr to wassertrv and force a return of NULL in the error
case.
This functions reads a proplist from a pipe instead of a file (like
WMReadPropListFromFile does). It uses a call to popen to open the desired
command, reads data into a buffer till EOF and passes the data to getPropList
for parsing.
v2: code cleanup
The new function W_setconf_doubleClickDelay() sets the value for
WPreferences.W_setconf_doubleClickDelay(), therefore the private
data of WPreferences struct is not used.
This call is used at defaults.c to set the doubleClickDelay().
These new functions:
unsigned W_getconf_mouseWheelUp(void);
unsigned W_getconf_mouseWheelDown(void);
returns the WINGs configuration for the Mouse Wheel Up and Down
values.
This code was commented out but enabling it leads to no issues AFAICS
and improves the usability of WINGs applications.
The motivation for this patch comes from the need of distinguishing
where the cursor is in the WINGs-based application which handles the
database of my comics collection.
This changes the behavior in all parts of wmaker where there is
a text field entry, e.g. in the settings panel of dockapps. There should
be no issues with a blinking cursor in such cases though...
As reported by Amadeusz Sławiński, there were a number of debug-only
information printed by the menu parser, which had no reason to be
in a user package.
This patch removes all the hard-coded DEBUG definitions pointed
by Amadeusz and adds a new (standard-like) option '--enable-debug'
to the configure script, which activates debug stuff for the devs.
The default behaviour is now to not have them.
As a side effect, the option also disable optimisation, which are
generally annoying when trying to run a debugger.
As reported by Amadeusz Sławiński, the support for (d)quoted string
in the menu file was not exactly the same as in previous versions
of WindowMaker, so we had a regression which is not acceptable.
This patch propose a consistent handling for (d)quoted text instead
of the previous on-the-title-only code; now all (d)quoted strings
are still kept as-is (as expected) but the (d)quotes are always
removed.
As a side note, it also improve the support for \escaped character
to work correctly as mentioned in the example of the default menu.
Note: This reverts b2e7620868 which
was an incomplete solution to the problem.
This patch do this changes:
1. Change (add/remove) blank lines
2. Join some if's in only one
3. Change c++ comments to c comments (// -> /* */)
4. Add / remove curly brackets if needed
5. Change spaces (add/remove) & set correct indentation
When generating the full path+name of file to search for a file
being #included, it was generated in a buffer that's supposedly
large enough (MAXLINE > 2*PATH_MAX). However, this limit has a few
issues (PATH_MAX seem to be able to be bigger, and worse: we can't
be sure we're given longer args).
The code was rewrote to natively include boundary checks so we're
sure we won't overflow the buffer. A few strncpy have been removed
because in this case they tend to make things harder to write.
When a #include is used, the file is searched in many places; when
the file was searched in the ':'-separated list of path it could
led to infinite loop if the list contained more than one path and
that the file was not found in the first path, the ':' separator
was not properly passed over.
It is now possible to use #ifdef/#ifndef to exclude some part of the
file. The implementation uses a stack to track conditionals so it is
possible to use nested constructs.
A number of macros are pre-defined by WindowMaker for CPP in the
function 'MakeCPPArgs', they are now available in the internal
parser too. CPP also had some predefined macros, a subset of them
have been added.
The definition have been split in two parts:
- the macro that are dependant on WindowMaker parameters are
defined by WindowMaker (src/rootmenu.c)
- those that are independant, which can be defined by the parser
itself (WINGs/menuparser_macros.c)
This adds support for defining new macros, with or without parameters, which
when found afterwards in the text are replaced by their definition.
The complex analysis for arguments replacement is done at macro definition
time, so it is done only once and the macro expansion will be fast.
The macro-related functions have been placed in their own file because it is
quite a complex task and we do not want filesize to explode, it is always
better to keep things human-sized.
The parser is prepared to handle '#' directives, starting with file
inclusion. The search path for the file are taken from what was
actually given to CPP. There is an arbitrary limit to the inclusion
nesting, which is actually not a design limitation but a security
to avoid infinite include loops.
Wrote a new parsing code that is able to skip over comments.
Note that because CPP is still active, you will not see any
effect unless you disable CPP pre-processing.
