This fixes the libpbd testCanonicalPathUTF8 and libardour
open_session_utf8_path unit tests
You can now have Sessions with localized names containing characters that
aren't in the system codepage on Windows.
It also fixes the issue where a Session would not open when it was moved into a
path with characters that aren't in the system codepage.
The only use case for calling canonical_path/realpath on the session path
AFAICT is for resolving relative paths that are passed via the command
line/terminal. I'm doubtful that works correctly on Windows because of
character encoding issues with the current API we use for that(not glib), so it
is slightly ironic that this issue was caused by an incorrect implementation of
a function that is not really necessary on Windows at this point in time.
This currently fails because the windows only realpath implementation in
pbd/pathexpand.cc, which is called from PBD::canonical_path to resolve the path
uses Glib::locale_from/to_utf8. As I demonstrated in the
testOpenFileUTF8Filename test case Glib::locale_from/to_utf8 are not the
correct functions to use for this use case as it converts to/from utf-8 to the
locale's current character encoding. On Windows this is most often a single
byte encoding such as Windows-1252 and conversion will fail if the path
contains any characters that are not in system codepage.
The default scheduling on windows seems fairly erratic or is at least in the
VM that I'm running these tests on, so increase the timing slack a bit so the
test has a better chance of passing. It is still quite easy for it to fail
though, especially if you for instance manipulate the terminal window somehow
while running the tests but it does not really matter in any case as this test
serves its purpose in testing the PBD::MMTimers API.
Adopted from Michael Beer -- GH pull-request #232 with minor changes:
* rebased on master,
* removed trailing whitespace,
* don't explicitly change saved configuration defaults (wscript)
* moved sys/wait (WNOHANG) to header include
* separate changes in GUI and lib
The previous version used memory operands that gcc (probably dependent
on optimization flags and/or version) could address relative to the
stack pointer, but pushing %ebx onto the stack changed it. Here, the
address of the regs array is put into %esi and the individual members
are written into directly.
O(1) realloc() for use with Lua.
A standard malloc/free/realloc API is exposed for testing and other
potential use-cases.
The current configuration it's performs well for lua-metatables
(regular calls to realloc() with varying tiny chunks ~1-50 bytes)
For the use-case at hand it outperforms TLSF.
During initial session load it's possible that two threads call
PBD::notify_event_loops_about_thread_creation() simultaneously
(in particular the process threads). This can lead to an
endless loop in stl_tree.h when assigning thread_buffer_requests[key]
Now we only have WriteLocks.. unless some better solution comes up a
Mutex will do.
This also removes Route::group_gain_control() and associated machinery.
Not yet tested with Mackie or other surfaces. More work to done to
start using the group capabilities, and also potentially to add
or derive more controls as RouteAutomationControls
This new design will work even when threads that need to receive
messages from RT threads are created *after* the RT threads. The
existing design would fail because the RT thread(s) would never
be known the later created threads, and so signals emitted by the
RT thread and causing call_slot() in the receiver would end up
being enqueued using a lock-protected list. The new design ensures
that communication always uses a lock-free FIFO instead
