These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
Let's replace usage of fputc_unlocked() and friends by __fsetlocking(f,
FSETLOCKING_BYCALLER). This turns off locking for the entire FILE*,
instead of doing individual per-call decision whether to use normal
calls or _unlocked() calls.
This has various benefits:
1. It's easier to read and easier not to forget
2. It's more comprehensive, as fprintf() and friends are covered too
(as these functions have no _unlocked() counterpart)
3. Philosophically, it's a bit more correct, because it's more a
property of the file handle really whether we ever pass it on to another
thread, not of the operations we then apply to it.
This patch reworks all pieces of codes that so far used fxyz_unlocked()
calls to use __fsetlocking() instead. It also reworks all places that
use open_memstream(), i.e. use stdio FILE* for string manipulations.
Note that this in some way a revert of 4b61c87511.
As a follow-up for db3f45e2d2 let's do the
same for all other cases where we create a FILE* with local scope and
know that no other threads hence can have access to it.
For most cases this shouldn't change much really, but this should speed
dbus introspection and calender time formatting up a bit.
There are more than enough calls doing string manipulations to deserve
its own files, hence do something about it.
This patch also sorts the #include blocks of all files that needed to be
updated, according to the sorting suggestions from CODING_STYLE. Since
pretty much every file needs our string manipulation functions this
effectively means that most files have sorted #include blocks now.
Also touches a few unrelated include files.
This allows marking properties as "explicit". Properties marked like
this are included in the introspection, but are avoided in GetAll()
property queries, PropertiesChanged() signals and in in GetManaged()
object manager calls and InterfacesAdded() signals.
Expensive properties may be marked that way, and they will be
retrievable when explicitly being requested, but never in "blanket"
all-property queries and signals.
This flag may be combined with the flags for "const" and
"emit-validation" properties, but not with "emit-validation", as that
is only useful for properties whose value shall be sent in "blanket"
all-property signals.
The "explicit" flag is also exposed in the introspection data via a new
annotation.
Some places invoked fflush() directly with their own manual error
checking, let's unify all that by using fflush_and_check().
This also unifies the general error paths of fflush()+rename() file
writers.
This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.
