This fixes several integer overflow problems in the POD parser, as well
as fixing a returns-twice warning from GCC and integer truncation
problems in SPA_FLAG_CLEAR and SPA_ROUND_DOWN_N. The integer overflows
can result in a tiny POD being treated as a huge one, causing
out-of-bounds reads.
Add an EMPTY chunk flag to mark a piece of memory as 'empty'. For audio
this means silence.
Use the empty flag to avoid mixing 0 samples.
Set the empty flag in output buffers on audioconvert.
The Doxygen "Modules" page is not very illuminative, as different parts
of the API are mixed together and not all parts are included.
Try to address this:
Put all parts of the public API to some Doxygen group, usually one group
per header file. Use short, systematic names.
Make these groups sub-groups of a few top-level groups, roughly
corresponding to the different logical parts of the API (core, impl,
stream, filter, spa, utilities).
Subdirectories buffer, control, debug, monitor, pod, support and utils, others
are still missing. Headers are grouped either per subdirectory (e.g. buffer/
gets added to group spa_buffer) or per-file (e.g. spa_json is a separate
group), whatever seemed like the most sensible approach.
SPA_MEMBER is misleading, all we're doing here is pointer+offset and a
type-casting the result. Rename to SPA_PTROFF which is more expressive (and
has the same number of characters so we don't need to re-indent).
This tool detects and fixes common English spelling mistakes, with
generally very few mistakes.
Here is the command I used to generate this commit. There were a few
changes that had to be done manually, and of course adding the ignore
file:
```shell
codespell -I .codespell-ignore -x .codespell-ignore -w
```
I didn’t add it to the CI, but this would be a good place for it.
Add a tag field when creating a memmap so that we can do lookup on it.
This makes it easier to implement the tracking of mappings for io areas.
Remove custom io memory tracking and use the tags.
Add flags to spa_chunk to make data corrupted. The flags on the buffer
stay constant for the life of the buffer. Add flags to mark memory
readable and writable. Mark memory readonly in v4l2-source.
Pass the daemon activation area to the client in the transport event.
This never changes and need to be handled differently from the other
activation areas.
Use the right flags when importing memory.
Add the (desired) memory type to mempool_alloc.
improve some debug.
Track memory on buffers in the server and simplify some memory tracking
on the client.
Don't send internal memblock flags to client.
Add read/write flags to memblock.
Improve the allocators to always align the buffer memory to the
requested alignment
Use aligned read and writes for sse functions and check alignment,
optionally falling back to unaligned path.
Add more tests and benchmark cases
Check and warn for misaligned memory in plugins.
SPA_ID_* -> SPA_TYPE_*. We use 'type' for all registered types.
ID refers to either a registered type or an enum.
Improve introspection of object ids. Make 0 an invalid enum and
use it to look up the object id type.
Move some type-info files together.
Swap type and id of the object, we first specify the type and then
the id because the meaning of the id depends on the object type.
Do not use dynamic types anymore. The reason is that it's difficult:
- to maintain a shared type database over a network.
- the extra overhead when translating between processes and for
maintaining the translation tables.
- race conditions in translating in RT-threads, this is a problem
because we want to make event streams.
We now have simple enums with types and extension points for all
types. This is also nicer to use in general.
We don't need the mapper anymore or pass strings around as types.
There is a parallel type info system to get more info about ids and
enums and their hierarchy. It can also be used for debugging.
Separate buffer sizes in the info. Make it possible to not set
data pointers for when we use memfd for the memory.
Improve format conversion.
Work on in-place conversion in test-convert2
