Adds Genode::Hex_dump class to the formatted_output.h header. This class can be
used to print a hexadecimal dump of a byte range. The data is printed in a
format similar to that used by Linux's 'xxd'. In addition to the 'xxd' format,
consecutive duplicate lines are replaced with a single "*\n" as done also by
Linux's 'hexdump'.
Ref #4966
The utilities of the new util/formatted_output.h header complement the
existing base/output.h with the text-formatting support needed to
produce tabular output.
Fixes#4449
This commit removes APIs that were previously marked as deprecated. This
change has the following implications:
- The use of the global 'env()' accessor is not possible anymore.
- Boolean accessor methods are no longer prefixed with 'is_'. E.g.,
instead of 'is_valid()', use 'valid()'.
- The last traces of 'Ram_session' are gone now. The 'Env::ram()'
accessor returns the 'Ram_allocator' interface, which is a subset of
the 'Pd_session' interface.
- All connection constructors need the 'Env' as argument.
- The 'Reporter' constructor needs an 'Env' argument now because the
reporter creates a report connection.
- The old overload 'Child_policy::resolve_session_request' that returned
a 'Service' does not exist anymore.
- The base/printf.h header has been removed, use base/log.h instead.
- The old notion of 'Signal_dispatcher' is gone. Use 'Signal_handler'.
- Transitional headers like os/server.h, cap_session/,
volatile_object.h, os/attached*_dataspace.h, signal_rpc_dispatcher.h
have been removed.
- The distinction between 'Thread_state' and 'Thread_state_base' does
not exist anymore.
- The header cpu_thread/capability.h along with the type definition of
'Cpu_thread_capability' has been removed. Use the type
'Thread_capability' define in cpu_session/cpu_session.h instead.
- Several XML utilities (i.e., at os/include/decorator) could be removed
because their functionality is nowadays covered by util/xml_node.h.
- The 'os/ram_session_guard.h' has been removed.
Use 'Constrained_ram_allocator' provided by base/ram_allocator.h instead.
Issue #1987
Refactor the graphical terminal server to internally represent
characters as 16-bit codepoints and handle the duplex terminal stream as
UTF-8.
- Make the Codepoint class printable to the Output interface
- Decode data received at the Terminal session from UTF-8 to a 16-bit
character
- Pass 16-bit characters through terminal decoder and char-cell arrays
- Send Unicode through terminal session in a burst of UTF-8 bytes
Fix#3148
This patch adds a 'Color::print' method as counterpart to the 'ascii_to'
function. If the color is opaque (alpha is 255), its output has the form
"#rrggbb". If the color has a distinct alpha value, the output has the
form "#rrggbbaa". The new version of the 'ascii_to' overload for 'Color'
is able to deal with both forms.
Besides adapting the components to the use of base/log.h, the patch
cleans up a few base headers, i.e., it removes unused includes from
root/component.h, specifically base/heap.h and
ram_session/ram_session.h. Hence, components that relied on the implicit
inclusion of those headers have to manually include those headers now.
While adjusting the log messages, I repeatedly stumbled over the problem
that printing char * arguments is ambiguous. It is unclear whether to
print the argument as pointer or null-terminated string. To overcome
this problem, the patch introduces a new type 'Cstring' that allows the
caller to express that the argument should be handled as null-terminated
string. As a nice side effect, with this type in place, the optional len
argument of the 'String' class could be removed. Instead of supplying a
pair of (char const *, size_t), the constructor accepts a 'Cstring'.
This, in turn, clears the way let the 'String' constructor use the new
output mechanism to assemble a string from multiple arguments (and
thereby getting rid of snprintf within Genode in the near future).
To enforce the explicit resolution of the char * ambiguity, the 'char *'
overload of the 'print' function is marked as deleted.
Issue #1987
Since the dynamic linker depends on the XML utils and we plan to replace
the ancient 'Arg_string' with XML, it is time to move the 'Xml_node' and
'Xml_generator' to base/include.
This overload of the value member eases the retrieval of Genode::String
objects from XML attributes. So we won't need to deal with C-style
character buffers anymore.
By appending a newline to the generated XML data, we prevent the output
from messing with the command prompt when using 'cat' on a shell.
Futhermore, when using line-buffered output, the trailing newline
ensures that the output gets gets properly flushed.
When calling 'sub_node' on a node with no sub nodes, the Xml_node would
interpret the characters after the current node while searching for sub
nodes. The patch adds a sanity check that lets the 'sub_node' function
throw an exception when called on a node with no sub nodes.
This patch makes the handling of constructor arguments consistent among
the Volatile_object and Lazy_volatile_object classes. Arguments are
always forwarded. Otherwise, passing a reference as argument would result
in an unwanted copy of the passed object.
This patch changes the top-level directory layout as a preparatory
step for improving the tools for managing 3rd-party source codes.
The rationale is described in the issue referenced below.
