These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
This makes it possible to run more dbus tests in a build
environment/chroot where no system bus is available.
To run the dbus test one then can use dbus-run-session.
GLIB has recently started to officially support the gcc cleanup
attribute in its public API, hence let's do the same for our APIs.
With this patch we'll define an xyz_unrefp() call for each public
xyz_unref() call, to make it easy to use inside a
__attribute__((cleanup())) expression. Then, all code is ported over to
make use of this.
The new calls are also documented in the man pages, with examples how to
use them (well, I only added docs where the _unref() call itself already
had docs, and the examples, only cover sd_bus_unrefp() and
sd_event_unrefp()).
This also renames sd_lldp_free() to sd_lldp_unref(), since that's how we
tend to call our destructors these days.
Note that this defines no public macro that wraps gcc's attribute and
makes it easier to use. While I think it's our duty in the library to
make our stuff easy to use, I figure it's not our duty to make gcc's own
features easy to use on its own. Most likely, client code which wants to
make use of this should define its own:
#define _cleanup_(function) __attribute__((cleanup(function)))
Or similar, to make the gcc feature easier to use.
Making this logic public has the benefit that we can remove three header
files whose only purpose was to define these functions internally.
See #2008.
This reverts commit d4d00020d6. The idea of
the commit is broken and needs to be reworked. We really cannot reduce
the bus-addresses to a single address. We always will have systemd with
native clients and legacy clients at the same time, so we also need both
addresses at the same time.
Previously, sd-bus inofficially already supported bus matches that
tested a string against an array of strings ("as"). This was done via an
enhanced way to interpret "arg0=" matches. This is problematic however,
since clients have no way to determine if their respective
implementation understood strv matches or not, thus allowing invalid
matches to be installed without a way to detect that.
This patch changes the logic to only allow such matches with a new
"arg0has=" syntax. This has the benefit that non-conforming
implementations will return a parse error and a client application may
thus efficiently detect support for the match type.
Matches of this type are useful for "udev"-like systems that "tag" objects
with a number of strings, and clients need to be able to match against
any of these "tags".
The name "has" takes inspiration from Python's ".has_key()" construct.
We should not fall back to dbus-1 and connect to the proxy when kdbus
returns an error that indicates that kdbus is running but just does not
accept new connections because of quota limits or something similar.
Using is_kdbus_available() in libsystemd/ requires it to move from
shared/ to libsystemd/.
Based on a patch from David Herrmann:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/886
sd_bus_flush_close_unref() is a call that simply combines sd_bus_flush()
(which writes all unwritten messages out) + sd_bus_close() (which
terminates the connection, releasing all unread messages) +
sd_bus_unref() (which frees the connection).
The combination of this call is used pretty frequently in systemd tools
right before exiting, and should also be relevant for most external
clients, and is hence useful to cover in a call of its own.
Previously the combination of the three calls was already done in the
_cleanup_bus_close_unref_ macro, but this was only available internally.
Also see #327
Matches that can only match against messages from the
org.freedesktop.DBus.Local service (or the local interfaces or path)
should never be installed server side, suppress them hence.
Similar, on kdbus matches that can only match driver messages shouldn't
be passed to the kernel.
This should simplify the prototype a bit. The bus parameter is redundant
in most cases, and in the few where it matters it can be derived from
the message via sd_bus_message_get_bus().
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.
It seems unnecessary to support this, and we rather should avoid
allowing this at all, so that people don't program against this
sloppily and we end up remarshalling all the time...
This makes callback behaviour more like sd-event or sd-resolve, and
creates proper object for unregistering callbacks.
Taking the refernce to the slot is optional. If not taken life time of
the slot will be bound to the underlying bus object (or in the case of
an async call until the reply has been recieved).
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.
