Follow practices suggested by "Effective C++" 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

VFS: nonblocking interface The VFS library can be used in single-threaded or multi-threaded environments and depending on that, signals are handled by the same thread which uses the VFS library or possibly by a different thread. If a VFS plugin needs to block to wait for a signal, there is currently no way which works reliably in both environments. For this reason, this commit makes the interface of the VFS library nonblocking, similar to the File_system session interface. The most important changes are: - Directories are created and opened with the 'opendir()' function and the directory entries are read with the recently introduced 'queue_read()' and 'complete_read()' functions. - Symbolic links are created and opened with the 'openlink()' function and the link target is read with the 'queue_read()' and 'complete_read()' functions and written with the 'write()' function. - The 'write()' function does not wait for signals anymore. This can have the effect that data written by a VFS library user has not been processed by a file system server yet when the library user asks for the size of the file or closes it (both done with RPC functions at the file system server). For this reason, a user of the VFS library should request synchronization before calling 'stat()' or 'close()'. To make sure that a file system server has processed all write request packets which a client submitted before the synchronization request, synchronization is now requested at the file system server with a synchronization packet instead of an RPC function. Because of this change, the synchronization interface of the VFS library is now split into 'queue_sync()' and 'complete_sync()' functions. Fixes #2399
