Previously, AddMatch/RemoveMatch calls where processed exclusively in
the proxy. That's racy however, since subscribing to a signal might not
complete before the signal is sent due to some subsequent method call.
Hence, in order to expose the same ordering guarantees as dbus1 process
the AddMatch/RemoveMatch calls from the proxy, so that they are
dispatched synchronously to all following messages, thus fixing the
race.
Ultimately, we should probabably dissolve the driver entirely into the
proxy, as it is purely a compatibility feature anyway...
Previously the returned object of constructor functions where sometimes
returned as last, sometimes as first and sometimes as second parameter.
Let's clean this up a bit. Here are the new rules:
1. The object the new object is derived from is put first, if there is any
2. The object we are creating will be returned in the next arguments
3. This is followed by any additional arguments
Rationale:
For functions that operate on an object we always put that object first.
Constructors should probably not be too different in this regard. Also,
if the additional parameters might want to use varargs which suggests to
put them last.
Note that this new scheme only applies to constructor functions, not to
all other functions. We do give a lot of freedom for those.
Note that this commit only changes the order of the new functions we
added, for old ones we accept the wrong order and leave it like that.
In trying to track down a stupid linker bug, I noticed a bunch of
memset() calls that should be using memzero() to make it more "obvious"
that the options are correct (i.e. 0 is not the length, but the data to
set). So fix up all current calls to memset(foo, 0, length) to
memzero(foo, length).
It is nicer to predefine patterns using configure time check instead of
using casts everywhere.
Since we do not need to use any flags, include "%" in the format instead
of excluding it like PRI* macros.
gdm relies on the policy to deny its own requests to not deadlock. Given
that we currently do not enforce any policy in the dbus1 compat proxy
service this means that gdm will necessarily deadlock on our systems.
To work around this, enforce a fixed policy teomporarily, until we
interpret the legacy XML policy in full.
Booh, gdm, booh, for requring this and making me waste two days on
tracking this brokenness down.
