Previously, nm_c_list_move_*() only allowed to move element inside the
same list. Relax that, it works just the same list to move the element
from one list into a different list.
Usually we avoid GSList, because I think it's not a great data type.
Anyway, our match-specs are just a GSList of strings, so we need some
API to handle them.
We no longer add these. If you use Emacs, configure it yourself.
Also, due to our "smart-tab" usage the editor anyway does a subpar
job handling our tabs. However, on the upside every user can choose
whatever tab-width he/she prefers. If "smart-tabs" are used properly
(like we do), every tab-width will work.
No manual changes, just ran commands:
F=($(git grep -l -e '-\*-'))
sed '1 { /\/\* *-\*- *[mM]ode.*\*\/$/d }' -i "${F[@]}"
sed '1,4 { /^\(#\|--\|dnl\) *-\*- [mM]ode/d }' -i "${F[@]}"
Check remaining lines with:
git grep -e '-\*-'
The ultimate purpose of this is to cleanup our files and eventually use
SPDX license identifiers. For that, first get rid of the boilerplate lines.
nmtst_get_rand_int() was originally named that way, because it
calls g_rand_int(). But I think if a function returns an uint32, it
should also be named that way.
Rename.
Clang 3.4.2-9.el7 on CentOS7.6 complains about missing generic type match:
../dispatcher/nm-dispatcher.c:243:2: error: controlling expression type 'const Request *const' (aka 'const struct Request *const') not compatible with any generic association type
_LOG_R_D (request, "start running ordered scripts...");
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fixes: 17dc6a9da6 ('shared: add _NM_ENSURE_TYPE_CONST()')
The sole purpose of this is more type-safe macros.
An alternative solution would be to define a function instead of a
macro. But if the function is unused (currently!) you get a compiler
warning (on some compilers even when marking the function as "static
inline", if it's in the source file). A workaround for that would be
to mark the function as _nm_unused, or to use a macro instead.
_NM_ENSURE_TYPE_CONST() is to aid the macro solution.
NMTeamLinkWatcher is immutable, meaning there is no way to change an
existing instance (aside increasing/decreasing the ref-count).
Hence, all API is implicitly const.
Still, mark the arguments as const.
"nm-value-type.h" is a header-only file, as it contains only small
accessors that should be inlined.
As such, the implementation of these functions is guarded by "#ifdef
NM_VALUE_TYPE_DEFINE_FUNCTIONS", so that one can use this header (and
NMValueType enum) with less overhead (at compile time).
Glib has GValue which used for boxing value.
Add NMValueType enum, which has a similar purpose, but it's much more
limited.
- contrary to GValue, the type must be tracked separately from the
user-data. That is, the "user-data" is only a pointer of appropriate
type, and the knowledge of the actual NMValueType is kept separately.
This will be used to have a static list of meta-data that knows the
value types, but keeping the values independent of this type
information. With GValue this would not be possible.
- the use case is much more limited. Just support basic integers,
boolean and strings. Nothing fancy.
Note that we already do something similar at muliple places. See for
example NMVariantAttributeSpec and nm_utils_team_link_watcher_to_string().
These could/should instead use NMValueType.
The type of the "data" pointer may not be compatible with the type of
the "to_free" / output pointer. This is due to constness, and that we
are unable in C to remove constness from a type.
For example,
{
const char *const *data = ...;
gs_free const char **cpy_to_free = NULL;
const char **cpy;
cpy = nm_memdup_maybe_a (300, data, NM_PTRARRAY_LEN (data) + 1, &cpy_to_free);
}
is prefectly valid , but would not have compiled.
It shows that "data" is not of type "*(&cpy_to_free)", but rather
it might be a non-const pointer of the same type.

Since we can easily lookup the vtable for a NMSetting8021xSchemeType,
it is convenient to also easily get the scheme_type for a given
NMSetting8021xSchemeVtable.
On my x86_64, this change is basically for free as it does not increase
the size of NMSetting8021xSchemeVtable, because the scheme_type fits in a
previously unused part of the NMSetting8021xSchemeVtable struct.
We want the the hash-seed array is alined so it can be used both as
guint, guint32, and guint64 directly. Don't use _nm_alignas() but
instead just add the fields to the union so we get proper alignment.
While at at, also let the seed argument to c_siphash_init() be aligned
to 64 integers. c_siphash_init() does not require that, but it tries to
read the seed as (unaligned) LE 64 bit integers. So, it doesn't hurt.
We want to log pointer values to indicate the related parties of a
log message. But we should not, because plain pointer values can be
used to defeat ASLR.
Instead, we have nm_hash_obfuscate_ptr() to managle a pointer and give
a distinct (albeit not 100% unique) 64 bit integer for logging.
But for the logging messages to be meaning-full, all related parties
must use the same static-seed.
Add a macro NM_HASH_OBFUSCATE_PTR() that uses a particular seed.
... and nm_dbus_connection_call_get_name_owner().
We are going to use GDBusConnection more instead of GDBusProxy. Hence,
these two functions are the standard repertoire and used over and over.
Their arguments are complicated enough to warrant a small helper.
