This introduces two new helpers alongside sd_bus_path_{encode,decode}(),
which work similarly to their counterparts, but accept a format-string as
input. This allows encoding and decoding multiple labels of a format
string at the same time.
|
|
Right now sd_bus_message_skip() will abort execution if passed a
signature of the unary type "()". Regardless whether this should be
supported or not, we really must not abort. Drop the incorrect assertion
and add a test-case for this.

Make sure we actually parse "unsigned long long" if we encode a uint64_t.
Otherwise, we will get random data from the stack.

In gvariant, all fixed-size objects need to be sized a multiple of their
alignment. If a structure has only fixed-size members, it is required to
be fixed size itself. If you imagine a structure like (ty), you have an
8-byte member followed by an 1-byte member. Hence, the overall inner-size
is 9. The alignment of the object is 8, though. Therefore, the specs
mandates final padding after fixed-size structures, to make sure it's
sized a multiple of its alignment (=> 16).
On the gvariant decoder side, we already account for this in
bus_gvariant_get_size(), as we apply overall padding to the size of the
structure. Therefore, our decoder correctly skips such final padding when
parsing fixed-size structure.
On the gvariant encoder side, however, we don't account for this final
padding. This patch fixes the structure and dict-entry encoders to
properly place such padding at the end of non-uniform fixed-size
structures.
The problem can be easily seen by running:
$ busctl --user monitor
and
$ busctl call --user org.freedesktop.systemd1 / org.foobar foobar "(ty)" 777 8
The monitor will fail to parse the message and print an error. With this
patch applied, everything works fine again.
This patch also adds a bunch of test-cases to force non-uniform
structures with non-pre-aligned positions.
Thanks to Jan Alexander Steffens <jan.steffens@gmail.com> for spotting
this and narrowing it down to non-uniform gvariant structures. Fixes #597.

Whenever we provide a bus API that allows clients to create and manage
server-side objects, we need to provide a unique name for these objects.
There are two ways to provide them:
1) Let the server choose a name and return it as method reply.
2) Let the client pass its name of choice in the method arguments.
The first method is the easiest one to implement. However, it suffers from
a race condition: If a client creates an object asynchronously, it cannot
destroy that object until it received the method reply. It cannot know the
name of the new object, thus, it cannot destroy it. Furthermore, this
method enforces a round-trip. If the client _depends_ on the method call
to succeed (eg., it would close() the connection if it failed), the client
usually has no reason to wait for the method reply. Instead, the client
can immediately schedule further method calls on the newly created object
(in case the API guarantees in-order method-call handling).
The second method fixes both problems: The client passes an object name
with the method-call. The server uses it to create the object. Therefore,
the client can schedule object destruction even if the object-creation
hasn't finished, yet (again, requiring in-order method-call handling).
Furthermore, the client can schedule further method calls on the newly
created object, before the constructor returned.
There're two problems to solve, though:
1) Object names are usually defined via dbus object paths, which are
usually globally namespaced. Therefore, multiple clients must be able
to choose unique object names without interference.
2) If multiple libraries share the same bus connection, they must be
able to choose unique object names without interference.
The first problem is solved easily by prefixing a name with the
unique-bus-name of a connection. The server side must enforce this and
reject any other name.
The second problem is solved by providing unique suffixes from within
sd-bus. As long as sd-bus always returns a fresh new ID, if requested,
multiple libraries will never interfere. This implementation re-uses
bus->cookie as ID generator, which already provides unique IDs for each
bus connection.
This patch introduces two new helpers:
bus_path_encode_unique(sd_bus *bus,
const char *prefix,
const char *sender_id,
const char *external_id,
char **ret_path);
This creates a new object-path via the template
'/prefix/sender_id/external_id'. That is, it appends two new labels to
the given prefix. If 'sender_id' is NULL, it will use
bus->unique_name, if 'external_id' is NULL, it will allocate a fresh,
unique cookie from bus->cookie.
bus_path_decode_unique(const char *path,
const char *prefix,
char **ret_sender,
char **ret_external);
This reverses what bus_path_encode_unique() did. It parses 'path' from
the template '/prefix/sender/external' and returns both suffix-labels
in 'ret_sender' and 'ret_external'. In case the template does not
match, 0 is returned and both output arguments are set to NULL.
Otherwise, 1 is returned and the output arguments contain the decoded
labels.
Note: Client-side allocated IDs are inspired by the Wayland protocol
(which itself was inspired by X11). Wayland uses those IDs heavily
to avoid round-trips. Clients can create server-side objects and
send method calls without any round-trip and waiting for any object
IDs to be returned. But unlike Wayland, DBus uses gobally namespaced
object names. Therefore, we have to add the extra step by adding the
unique-name of the bus connection.

This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.

We really need to use va_arg() with the right type here as uint64_t and
double might have the same size, but are passed differently as
arguments.

It seems unnecessary to support this, and we rather should avoid
allowing this at all, so that people don't program against this
sloppily and we end up remarshalling all the time...

No functional change expected :)

sd_bus_path_{encode,decode}()
The new calls work similarly, but enforce a that a common, fixed bus
path prefix is used.
This follows discussions with Simon McVittie on IRC that it should be a
good idea to make sure that people don't use the escaping applied here
too wildly as anything other than the last label of a bus path.

first (or second)
Previously the returned object of constructor functions where sometimes
returned as last, sometimes as first and sometimes as second parameter.
Let's clean this up a bit. Here are the new rules:
1. The object the new object is derived from is put first, if there is any
2. The object we are creating will be returned in the next arguments
3. This is followed by any additional arguments
Rationale:
For functions that operate on an object we always put that object first.
Constructors should probably not be too different in this regard. Also,
if the additional parameters might want to use varargs which suggests to
put them last.
Note that this new scheme only applies to constructor functions, not to
all other functions. We do give a lot of freedom for those.
Note that this commit only changes the order of the new functions we
added, for old ones we accept the wrong order and leave it like that.

We still only produce on .so, but let's keep the sources separate to make things a bit
less messy.
