      Initial cut of fork() => pthreads() for decoder and player · 9cf66d0e
      Eric Wong authored 
      I initially started to do a heavy rewrite that changed the way processes
communicated, but that was too much to do at once.  So this change only
focuses on replacing the player and decode processes with threads and
using condition variables instead of polling in loops; so the changeset
itself is quiet small.

* The shared output buffer variables will still need locking
to guard against race conditions.  So in this effect, we're probably
just as buggy as before.  The reduced context-switching overhead of
using threads instead of processes may even make bugs show up more or
less often...

* Basic functionality appears to be working for playing local (and NFS)
audio, including:
play, pause, stop, seek, previous, next, and main playlist editing

* I haven't tested HTTP streams yet, they should work.

* I've only tested ALSA and Icecast.  ALSA works fine, Icecast
metadata seems to get screwy at times and breaks song
advancement in the playlist at times.

* state file loading works, too (after some last-minute hacks with
non-blocking wakeup functions)

* The non-blocking (*_nb) variants of the task management functions are
probably overused.  They're more lenient and easier to use because
much of our code is still based on our previous polling-based system.

* It currently segfaults on exit.  I haven't paid much attention
to the exit/signal-handling routines other than ensuring it
compiles.  At least the state file seems to work.  We don't
do any cleanups of the threads on exit, yet.

* Update is still done in a child process and not in a thread.
To do this in a thread, we'll need to ensure it does proper
locking and communication with the main thread; but should
require less memory in the end because we'll be updating
the database "in-place" rather than updating a copy and
then bulk-loading when done.

* We're more sensitive to bugs in 3rd party libraries now.
My plan is to eventually use a master process which forks()
and restarts the child when it dies:

* We're more sensitive to bugs in 3rd party libraries now.
My plan is to eventually use a master process which forks()
and restarts the child when it dies:

master - just does waitpid() + fork() in a loop
\- main thread
\- decoder thread
\- player thread

At the beginning of every song, the main thread will set
a dirty flag and update the state file.  This way, if we
encounter a song that triggers a segfault killing the
main thread, the master will start the replacement main
on the next song.

* The main thread still wakes up every second on select()
to check for signals; which affects power management.

      thread-safety work in preparation for rewrite to use pthreads

Expect no regressions against trunk (r7078), possibly minor
performance improvements in update (due to fewer heap
allocations), but increased stack usage.

Applied the following patches:

* maxpath_str for reentrancy (temporary fix, reverted)
* path: start working on thread-safe variants of these methods
* Re-entrancy work on path/character-set conversions
* directory.c: exploreDirectory() use reentrant functions here
* directory/update: more use of reentrant functions + cleanups
* string_toupper: a strdup-less version of strDupToUpper
* get_song_url: a static-variable-free version of getSongUrl()
* Use reentrant/thread-safe get_song_url everywhere
* replace rmp2amp with the reentrant version, rmp2amp_r
* Get rid of the non-reentrant/non-thread-safe rpp2app, too.
* buffer2array: assert strdup() returns a usable value in unit tests
* replace utf8ToFsCharset and fsCharsetToUtf8 with thread-safe variants
* fix storing playlists w/o absolute paths
* parent_path(), a reentrant version of parentPath()
* parentPath => parent_path for reentrancy and thread-safety
* allow "make test" to automatically run embedded unit tests
* remove convStrDup() and maxpath_str()
* use MPD_PATH_MAX everywhere instead of MAXPATHLEN
* path: get rid of appendSlash, pfx_path and just use pfx_dir
* get_song_url: fix the ability to play songs in the top-level music_directory

      removing debug messages from signal handlers · 1b045d06
      J. Alexander Treuman authored 
      As unfortunate as it is to remove such useful debugging messages, it's
necessary to fix a potential deadlock with signal handling.  A bunch of
functions the debug functions call aren't safe to call from a signal
handler.  There are some alternate solutions, but they're neither pretty
nor simple.  So just remove them entirely for now.

      Replace strdup and {c,re,m}alloc with x* variants to check for OOM errors · 90847fc8
      Eric Wong authored 
      I'm checking for zero-size allocations and assert()-ing them,
so we can more easily get backtraces and debug problems, but we'll
also allow -DNDEBUG people to live on the edge if they wish.

We do not rely on errno when checking for OOM errors because
some implementations of malloc do not set it, and malloc
is commonly overridden by userspace wrappers.

I've spent some time looking through the source and didn't find any
obvious places where we would explicitly allocate 0 bytes, so we
shouldn't trip any of those assertions.

We also avoid allocating zero bytes because C libraries don't
handle this consistently (some return NULL, some not); and it's
dangerous either way.

      playerData.c:
proper error checking

directory.c:
properly check myFgets() for errors
(it returns NULL on error)

inputPlugins/mp3_plugin.c
get rid of commas at the end of enums

interface.c:
we weren't using long long, so strtoll isn't needed
get rid of void-pointer arithmetic

sllist.c:
get rid of void-pointer arithmetic

compress.c:
get rid of C++ comments, some compilers don't accept them

Note that I personally like void pointer arithmetic, but some
ancient compilers don't support them :(

      interface/connection malloc reductions from mpd-ke · 4cf5d04c
      Eric Wong authored 
      This patch massively reduces the amount of heap allocations at
the interface/command layer.  Most commands with minimal output
should not allocate memory from the heap at all.  Things like
repeatedly polling status, currentsong, and volume changes
should be faster as a result, and more importantly, not a source
of memory fragmentation.

These changes should be safe in that there's no way for a
remote-client to corrupt memory or otherwise do bad stuff to
MPD, but an extra set of eyes to review would be good.  Of
course there's never any warranty :)

No longer do we use FILE * structures in the interface, which means
we don't have to allocate any new memory for most connections.

Now, before you go on about losing the buffering that FILE *
+implies+, remember that myfprintf() never took advantage of
any of the stdio buffering features.

To reduce the diff and make bugs easier to spot in the diff,
I've kept myfprintf in places where we write to files (and not
network interfaces).  Expect myfprintf to go away entirely soon
(we'll use fprintf for writing regular files).

      remove the glib library dependency · b59aa757
      Eric Wong authored 
      We never used many features from it, so there's no point in
keeping it and forcing people to install a non-standard library.
It may be standard on many GNU/Linux distributions, but there
are many other UNIXes out there.  This makes life much easier
for people cross-compiling (like me :)
