Require x86_64 because memory/adress space limitations on x86_32
restrict the use-cases on such a platform anyway. Doing that,
we can also assume that memory adresses are always 64bit long and
do not have to handle 32bit adresses.
According to the creator of the net-stat lib, this lib was a mere debugging
tool that is not used anymore nor worth the work of updating the it to
modern Genode coding paradigms. Also, there exist no tests for the lib.
Instead of having a method validate_size in each packet class, check
sizes in the data accessor of the surrounding packet class. This packet
accessor is the one that casts the data pointer to the desired data type
so it is sensible that it also checks whether the desired type would
exceed the available RAM before doing the cast. This also fits nicely
the fact that for the top-level packet-class of a packet, the size must
not be checked (which was previously done).
Issue #465
The TCP window scaling is implemented for servers (like netperf's
netserver) only. The client implementation just uses the lower 16 bits
of the TCP_WND configuration value, which we therefore maximize to ~64K.
The '<dependencies>' attribute 'path' refers to a depot archive.
Depending on the attributes 'source="no"' and 'binary="no" (defaults
shown), the depot_query component determines the source/binary
dependencies of the given archive. The result has the form of a report
with a sequence of <missing> and <present> nodes, each equipped with the
'path' of the dependency.
Since the <query> node results in the generation of a "blueprint"
report, it should better be named <blueprint>. This also clears the way
for adding further query types such as <dependencies>, following the
same pattern of generating a report of the corresponding query name.
With this patch, it becomes possible to pass a 'Directory const &' to
the constructor of 'File_content', which is intuitive as the directory
content is not changed by reading a file.
The 'File_content::for_each_line' method did not correctly detect the
end of data for files without a trailing linebreak, thereby cutting the
last character from the last line.
This patch removes the former use of ram_fs, fs_rom, and fs_report from
the subsystem and uses a report_rom instead. The fs-based reporting was
introduced to accommodate automatically instantiated usb_block drivers,
which turned out to be impractical for the sculpt scenario.
This is a follow-up commit to "Increase default warning level", which
overrides Genode's new default warning level for targets contained in
higher-level repositories. By explicitly whitelisting all those targets,
we can selectively adjust them to the new strictness over time - by
looking out for 'CC_CXX_WARN_STRICT' in the target description files.
Issue #465
This patch enables the warnings -Wextra, -Weffc++, and -Werror for
compiling Genode components. It thereby helps us to detect bugs like
uninitialized member variables or missing virtual destructors at compile
time. The warning level is defined via the new 'CC_CXX_WARN_STRICT'
variable. For targets that compile 3rd-party code where this warning
level is not applicable, the variable may be explictly set to an empty
value in the corresponding build-description file.
Issue #465
The patch adjust the code of the base, base-<kernel>, and os repository.
To adapt existing components to fix violations of the best practices
suggested by "Effective C++" as reported by the -Weffc++ compiler
argument. The changes follow the patterns outlined below:
* A class with virtual functions can no longer publicly inherit base
classed without a vtable. The inherited object may either be moved
to a member variable, or inherited privately. The latter would be
used for classes that inherit 'List::Element' or 'Avl_node'. In order
to enable the 'List' and 'Avl_tree' to access the meta data, the
'List' must become a friend.
* Instead of adding a virtual destructor to abstract base classes,
we inherit the new 'Interface' class, which contains a virtual
destructor. This way, single-line abstract base classes can stay
as compact as they are now. The 'Interface' utility resides in
base/include/util/interface.h.
* With the new warnings enabled, all member variables must be explicitly
initialized. Basic types may be initialized with '='. All other types
are initialized with braces '{ ... }' or as class initializers. If
basic types and non-basic types appear in a row, it is nice to only
use the brace syntax (also for basic types) and align the braces.
* If a class contains pointers as members, it must now also provide a
copy constructor and assignment operator. In the most cases, one
would make them private, effectively disallowing the objects to be
copied. Unfortunately, this warning cannot be fixed be inheriting
our existing 'Noncopyable' class (the compiler fails to detect that
the inheriting class cannot be copied and still gives the error).
For now, we have to manually add declarations for both the copy
constructor and assignment operator as private class members. Those
declarations should be prepended with a comment like this:
/*
* Noncopyable
*/
Thread(Thread const &);
Thread &operator = (Thread const &);
In the future, we should revisit these places and try to replace
the pointers with references. In the presence of at least one
reference member, the compiler would no longer implicitly generate
a copy constructor. So we could remove the manual declaration.
Issue #465
The warning "no interface connected to domain" was introduced when only one NIC
session at a time could be connected to a domain. It should help to track
packet drops that were caused by startup timing issues between servers and
clients. However, a user should watch the "NIC sessions" value of a domain
(verbose_domain_state) instead when debugging packet loss. With support for
multiple sessions per domain, even a non-empty domain may still miss the
session that connects the desired server.
Fix#2629
Stdin, stdout, and stderr are mapped to descriptors 0, 1, and 2
respectively. If these first three descriptors are not allocated before
the application becomes active then normal files and sockets can be
opened under these numbers, potentially causing unexpected application
behavior.
Fix#2628
This patch makes the creation of the libc's timer session depend on
whether or not the 'rtc' attribute of the <libc> configuration is
defined. If not configured, 'clock_gettime' returns 0.
