Thanks to the recently introduced mp_lua_PITA(), this is "simple" now.
It fixes leaks on Lua errors. The hack to avoid stack overflows
manually isn't needed anymore, and the Lua error handler will take
care of this.
The JSON parser was introduced for the IPC protocol, but I guess it's
useful here too.
The motivation for this commit is the same as with 8e4fa5fc (again).
Because 1) Lua is terrible, and 2) popen() is terrible. Unfortunately,
since Unix is also terrible, this turned out more complicated than I
hoped. As a consequence and to avoid that this code has to be maintained
forever, add a disclaimer that any function in Lua's utils module can
disappear any time. The complexity seems a bit ridiculous, especially
for a feature so far removed from actual video playback, so if it turns
out that we don't really need this function, it will be dropped again.
The motivation for this commit is the same as with 8e4fa5fc.
Note that there is an "#ifndef __GLIBC__". The GNU people are very
special people and thought it'd be convenient to actually declare
"environ", even though the POSIX people, which are also very special
people, state that no header declares this and that the user has to
declare this manually. Since the GNU people overtook the Unix world with
their very clever "embrace, extend, extinguish" strategy, but not 100%,
and trying to build without _GNU_SOURCE is hopeless; but since there
might be Unix environments which support _GNU_SOURCE features partially,
this means that in practice "environ" will be randomly declared or not
declared by system headers. Also, gcc was written by very clever people
too, and prints a warning if an external variable is declared twice (I
didn't check, but I suppose redeclaring is legal C, and not even the gcc
people are clever enough to only warn against a definitely not legal C
construct, although sometimes they do this), ...and since we at mpv hate
compiler warnings, we seek to silence them all. Adding a configure test
just for a warning seems too radical, so we special-case this against
__GLIBC__, which is hopefully not defined on other libcs, especially not
libcs which don't implement all aspects of _GNU_SOURCE, and redefine
"environ" on systems even if the headers define it already (because they
support _GNU_SOURCE - as I mentioned before, the clever GNU people wrote
software THAT portable that other libcs just gave up and implemented
parts of _GNU_SOURCE, although probably not all), which means that
compiling mpv will print a warning about "environ" being redefined, but
at least this won't happen on my system, so all is fine. However, should
someone complain about this warning, I will force whoever complained
about this warning to read this ENTIRE commit message, and if possible,
will also force them to eat a printed-out copy of the GNU Manifesto, and
if that is not enough, maybe this person could even be forced to
convince the very clever POSIX people of not doing crap like this:
having the user to manually declare somewhat central symbols - but I
doubt it's possible, because the POSIX people are too far gone and only
care about maintaining compatibility with old versions of AIX and HP-UX.
Oh, also, this code contains some subtle and obvious issues, but writing
about this is not fun.
Using the Lua API is a big PITA because it uses longjmp() error
handling. That is, a Lua API function could any time raise an error and
longjmp() to a lower part of the stack. This kind of "exception
handling" is completely foreign to C, and there are no proper ways to
clean up the "skipped" stack frames.
Other than avoiding such situations entirely, the only way to deal with
this is using Lua "userdata", which is basically a malloc'ed data block
managed by the Lua GC, and which can have a destructor function
associated (__gc metamethod).
This requires an awful lot of code (because the Lua API is just so
terrible), so I avoided this utnil now. But it looks like this will make
some of the following commits much easier, so here we go.
mp_stat() instead of stat() was used in the normal code (i.e. even
on Unix), because MinGW-w64 has an unbelievable macro-mess in place,
which prevents solving this elegantly.
Add some dirty workarounds to hide mp_stat() from the normal code
properly. This now requires replacing all functions that use the
struct stat type. This includes fstat, lstat, fstatat, and possibly
others. (mpv currently uses stat and fstat only.)
Merges pull request #1094, with some minor changes. mpv expects IEEE,
and IEEE allows divisions by 0 for floats, so these shouldn't actually
be a problem, but do it anyway for the sake of clang.

bstr.c doesn't really deserve its own directory, and compat had just
a few files, most of which may as well be in osdep. There isn't really
any justification for these extra directories, so get rid of them.
The compat/libav.h was empty - just delete it. We changed our approach
to API compatibility, and will likely not need it anymore.
The OSD is marked as changed, but the core isn't notified and this
doesn't immediately wakeup. (Possibly the OSD code should wakeup the
core instead, but maybe that woudl be overkill.)
Observed when using "mp.use_suspend = false" in the OSC, and pausing,
and moving the mouse pointer out of the window. The last part of the
fade remained visible for longer than intended.
The original goal was just adding backtraces, however making the code
safe (especially wrt. to out of memory Lua errors) was hard. So this
commit also restructures error handling to make it conceptually simpler.
Now all Lua code is run inside a Lua error handling, except the calls
for creating and destroying the Lua context, and calling the wrapper C
function in a safe way.
The new error handling is actually conceptually simpler and more
correct, because you can just call any Lua function at initialization,
without having to worry whwther it throws errors or not.
Unfortunately, Lua 5.2 removes lua_cpcall(), so we have to emulate it.
There isn't any way to emulate it in a way that works the same on 5.1
and 5.2 with the same semantics in error cases, so ifdeffery is needed.
The debug.traceback() function also behaves weirdly differently between
the Lua versions, so its output is not as nice as it could be (empty
extra line).
Search $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS for config files.
This also negates the need to have separate user and global variants of
mp_find_config_file()

Instead of absuing m_option to store the property list, introduce a
separate type for properties. m_option is still used to handle data
types. The property declaration itself now never contains the option
type, and instead it's always queried with M_PROPERTY_GET_TYPE. (This
was already done with some properties, now all properties use it.)
This also fixes that the function signatures did not match the function
type with which these functions were called. They were called as:
int (*)(const m_option_t*, int, void*, void*)
but the actual function signatures were:
int (*)(m_option_t*, int, void*, MPContext *)
Two arguments were mismatched.
This adds one line per property implementation. With additional the
reordering of the parameters, this makes most of the changes in this
commit.
While I'm not very fond of "const", it's important for declarations
(it decides whether a symbol is emitted in a read-only or read/write
section). Fix all these cases, so we have writeable global data only
when we really need.
When Lua itself prints errors such as:
Error: [string "mp.defaults"]:387: syntax error near 'function'
It's unclear why the location is prefixed with "string ". And for some
reason, it disappears if you prefix the name with '@'. I suppose this is
done for the sake of luaL_loadstring. With the '@' prefix added, the
output is now:
Error: mp.defaults:387: syntax error near 'function'
These are actually already included in osdep/io.h, but I think it's
cleaner to repeat them in the file where they are actually needed.
(osdep/io.h needs to have them for other reasons.)
Commit e2e450f9 started making use of luaL_register(), but OF COURSE
this function disappeared in Lua 5.2, and was replaced with a 5.2-only
alternative, slightly different mechanism.
So just NIH our own function. This is actually slightly more correct,
since it forces the user to call "require" to actually make the module
visible for builtin C-only modules other than "mp". Fix autoload.lua
accordingly.
We need this only because Lua's stdlib is so scarce. Lua doesn't intend
to include a complete stdlib - they confine themselves to standard C,
both for portability reasons and to keep the code minimal. But standard
C does not provide much either.
It would be possible to use Lua POSIX wrapper libraries, but that would
be a messy (and unobvious) dependency. It's better to implement the
missing functions ourselves, as long as they're small in number.
This affects the return value of mp.script_name, the "client name"
(what's returned by mpv_client_name()) and all associated features, as
well as the mpv terminal output module prefix when scripts print
something.
As discussed in #748.
And slightly adjust the semantics of MPV_EVENT_PAUSE/MPV_EVENT_UNPAUSE.
The real pause state can now be queried with the "core-idle" property,
the user pause state with the "pause" property, whether the player is
paused due to cache with "paused-for-cache", and the keep open event can
be guessed with the "eof-reached" property.
luaL_loadstring(), which was used until now, uses the start of the Lua
code itself as chunk name. Since the chunk name shows up even with
runtime errors triggered by e.g. Lua code loaded from user scripts, this
looks a but ugly. Switch to luaL_loadbuffer(), which is almost the same
as luaL_loadstring(), but allows setting a chunk name.
Lua doesn't distinguish between arrays and maps on the language level;
there are just tables. Use metatables to mark these tables with their
actual types. In particular, it allows distinguishing empty arrays from
empty tables.
E.g. binding MOUSE_BTN0 always used the user defined binding. While it
is ok that the user can override mouse_move and mouse_leave (for
whatever reasons), we want to strictly override the bindings when input
is sent to the OSC itself.
Regression since 03624a1.
Not sure about this... might redo.
At least this provides a case of a broadcasted event, which requires
per-event data allocation.
See github issue #576.
May or may not be useful in some ways.
We require a context parameter for this just to be sure, even if the
internal implementation currently doesn't.
That's one less mpv internal function for the Lua wrapper.
There are some complications because the client API distinguishes
between integers and floats, while Lua has only "numbers" (which are
usually floats). But I think this should work now.
There was already an undocumented mechanism provided by
mp.set_key_bindings and other functions, but this was relatively
verbose, and also weird. It was mainly to make the OSC happy (including
being efficient and supporting weird corner cases), while the new
functions try to be a bit simpler.
This also provides a way to let users rebind script-provided commands.
(This mechanism is less efficient, because it's O(n^2) for n added key
bindings, but it shouldn't matter.)
Return the error Lua-style, instead of raising it as Lua error. This is
better, because raising errors is reserved for more "fatal" conditions.
Pretending they're exceptions and trying to do exception-style error
handling will just lead to pain in this language.
This is partial only, and it still accesses some MPContext internals.
Specifically, chapter and track lists are still read directly, and OSD
access is special-cased too.
The OSC seems to work fine, except using the fast-forward/backward
buttons. These buttons behave differently, because the OSC code had
certain assumptions how often its update code is called.
The Lua interface changes slightly.
Note that this has the odd property that Lua script and video start
at the same time, asynchronously. If this becomes an issue, explicit
synchronization could be added.
