In order to make daemon communication more secure, we are introducing a
new library to handle the interprocess communication over the Unix
socket. The localipc library abstracts away a lot of the boilerplate
around the socket API and ensures that the packets are cleanly
transferred between the clients and server.
A future change will modify the daemon logic to leverage localipc
instead of x52dcomm, and eliminate the manual poll loop. The daemon can
then handle the business logic of commands/notifications.
Prior to this change, pinelog would always strip the directory prefix
from __FILE__, displaying only the basename.
This change adds the ability to check the full path passed to the
compiler, which may still be only a basename, but that's still fine.
The autotools build infrastructure was deprecated back in 0.3.3, and any
bugs in the Meson build infrastructure have been fixed now. This
eliminates the legacy build scripts which were hard to maintain.
With a recent enough version, the compiler reports a number of unused
parameter warnings when Meson is configured with `--warnlevel=3`. This
commit addresses those warnings.
Prior to this change, the pinelog benchmark suite was running as a
regular test, however, this is not ideal since it can result in timing
issues and giving false data to the runners.
This change explicitly marks them as benchmarks, so they can run using
`meson test --benchmark`
Meson is a far more robust build framework, compared to autotools. This
greatly simplifies adding new features, since it's far easier to
maintain a set of meson.build files vs the autotools mishmash.
DEPRECATION NOTICE: Autotools based build is deprecated and will be
removed in the future.
