a string can be either quoted (single or doublequoted), then the text
between this quotes is returned, quotes are escaped by doubling themself,
no chopping at either end is done,
or not quoted then the the tabs and spaces are chopped from the value
at either end.
Acquiring mutexes is now wraped in a easy to use MUTEX_SECTION macro.
This scheme will be extended for chained lock propagation soon.
Notes:
* NoBug resourcemanagement is now part of the lower layer,
RESOURCE_ENTER/RESOUCE_LEAVE are maintained automatically
* one must still call RESOURCE_ANNOUNCE/RESOURCE_FORGET, because we want
to maintain high level information about resources.
* MUTEX_SECTIONS must not be left with any kind of jump
tmpbuf_tr takes an input string and 2 sets of characters plus a
default character. It produces a output string with all
characters from the first set translated to the correspondending
character in the 2nd set, similar to the shell 'tr' util.
uuid's are somewhat standardized, we use our uid's slightly differently,
so change the name not to be confused with standards.
* Small fix for luid generation
* build a 'luidgen' tool which will be used by the interface gen later
* add emacs vars
* include the luidgen tool in automake
* add 'backend' for backend global initialization/destruction
and common functions.
* WIP: 'file' acts as interface to named files, provides posix
filehandles with and acquire/release function pair.
* 'filehandle' manages posix filehandles internally, refcounted.
* WIP: 'filehandlecache' keeps unused filehandles in a MRU cache
* WIP: test for filehandle management
* improved filedescriptor test
It is now possible to acquire/release filedescriptors for existing files
and files to be created.
Filedescriptors are managed in a registry by refcounts, they get
automatically destructed when the last user releases them.
Now using proc/lumiera.hpp and proc/nobugcfg.hpp (i.e. only for the proc-Layer). Using ON_BASIC_INIT to
pull up NoBug automatically and for installing the unknown-exception handler. Add calls for
ON_GLOBAL_INIT and ON_GLOBAL_SHUTDOWN hooks to main() and to the testrunner
now building liblumiback.a liblumiproc.a liblumi.a
build a separate test-common executable (for everything in src/common)
include a precompiled header for assets.
