This problem surfaced with the new tool chain that changes the stack
layout. A pointer to the the config XML data was kept in the main object
but pointed to a stack variable. This patch fixes it by removing the
pointer.
Fixes#3416
As a preparatory step for introducing the new block-client API, we have
to turn the 'Block::Connection' into a class template. The template
argument will be used to tie an application-defined job type to the
block connection.
Issue #3283
This patch modernizes the 'Block::Session::info' interface. Instead of
using out parameters, the 'init' RPC function returns a compound 'Info'
object now. The rather complicated 'Operations' struct is replaced by
a 'writeable' attribute in the 'Info' object.
Fixes#3275
When updating the GPT to match the underlying block device, the
protective MBR will normally also be updated. In case a hybrid MBR is
used, as is done if 'image/disk' is specified, setting the
'preserve_hybrid' flag will prevent the component from overriding the
MBR.
This component creates a GPT on a Block device. It supports the common
actions, as in adding, deleting and modifying entries in the GPT, while
considering alignment constraints. If needed it will round the length of
a partition down to meet those constraints. The component will not
perform layout checking, i.e., it does not care about overlapping
partitions. Only when apping a partition it will make sure that the
partition will fit.
Please read _repos/gems/src/app/gpt_write/README_ for more detailed
information on how to use the component and feel free to check out
_repos/gems/run/gpt_write.run_.
Fixes#2814.
