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 |

This is the example operating system based on the Genode OS framework: :_Init_: is the first real process in the system. The provided implementation uses a very simple XML parser to read its configuration files. :_Drivers_: The example OS has basic drivers for frame buffer, mouse and keyboard input, the PCI bus, the real-time clock, and system-specific timers. :_Server_: The only server in the example OS is Nitpicker, a minimal-complexity GUI server. :_Test_: are also part of the example OS. You may have a look at the fork bomb as a simple system stress test. :_Ldso_: is the dynamic linker used for loading executables that are linked against shared libraries. :_Lib_: contains libraries used by the components of the OS repository, for example, the alarm framework.
