mpv was hardcoded to always consider the right Alt key as Alt Gr, but there
are parituclar combinations of platforms and keyboard layouts where it's more
convenient to treat the right Alt as a keyboard modifier just like the left
one.
Fixes#388
This is needed so that new processes (created with fork+exec) don't
inherit open files, which can be important for a number of reasons.
Since O_CLOEXEC is relatively new (POSIX.1-2008, before that Linux
specific), we #define it to 0 in io.h to prevent compilation errors on
older/crappy systems. At least this is the plan.
input.c creates a pipe. For that, add a mp_set_cloexec() function (which
is based on Weston's code in vo_wayland.c, but more correct). We could
use pipe2() instead, but that is Linux specific. Technically, we have a
race condition, but it won't matter.
pthreads should be available anywhere. Even if not, for environment
without threads a pthread wrapper could be provided that can't actually
start threads, thus disabling features that require threads.
Make pthreads mandatory in order to simplify build dependencies and to
reduce ifdeffery. (Admittedly, there wasn't much complexity, but maybe
we will use pthreads more in the future, and then it'd become a real
bother.)
This commit adds a new build system based on waf. configure and Makefile
are deprecated effective immediately and someday in the future they will be
removed (they are still available by running ./old-configure).
You can find how the choice for waf came to be in `DOCS/waf-buildsystem.rst`.
TL;DR: we couldn't get the same level of abstraction and customization with
other build systems we tried (CMake and autotools).
For guidance on how to build the software now, take a look at README.md
and the cross compilation guide.
CREDITS:
This is a squash of ~250 commits. Some of them are not by me, so here is the
deserved attribution:
- @wm4 contributed some Windows fixes, renamed configure to old-configure
and contributed to the bootstrap script. Also, GNU/Linux testing.
- @lachs0r contributed some Windows fixes and the bootstrap script.
- @Nikoli contributed a lot of testing and discovered many bugs.
- @CrimsonVoid contributed changes to the bootstrap script.
The configure followed 5 different convetions of defines because the next guy
always wanted to introduce a new better way to uniform it[1]. For an
hypothetic feature 'hurr' you could have had:
* #define HAVE_HURR 1 / #undef HAVE_DURR
* #define HAVE_HURR / #undef HAVE_DURR
* #define CONFIG_HURR 1 / #undef CONFIG_DURR
* #define HAVE_HURR 1 / #define HAVE_DURR 0
* #define CONFIG_HURR 1 / #define CONFIG_DURR 0
All is now uniform and uses:
* #define HAVE_HURR 1
* #define HAVE_DURR 0
We like definining to 0 as opposed to `undef` bcause it can help spot typos
and is very helpful when doing big reorganizations in the code.

When starting mpv with nohup, file descriptor 0 seems to be invalid for
some reason. (I'm not quite sure why it should be... /proc/pid/fd/0
seems to indicate it's just /dev/null, and using /dev/null explicitly
shows that it works just fine.)
select() will always immediately return, and this causes mpv to burn CPU
without reason. Fix this by treating it as EOF when read() returns
EBADF.
Also add EINVAL to this condition, because it seems like a good idea.
This seems to be a problem only in OS X 10.9. I guess they improved the
general speed of the Cocoa startup and suddenly mpv core takes more time
than the Cocoa thread to initialize.
Fixes#285
(hopefully!)
Now that talloc has been removed, the license can be switched back to
GPLv2+. Actually, there never was a GPLv2+ licensed MPlayer (fork or
not) until now, but removal of some GPLv2-only code makes this possible
now. Rewrite the Copyright file to explain the reasons for the licenses
MPlayer and forks use. The old Copyright file didn't contain anything
interesting anymore, and all information it contained is available at
other places in the source tree.
The reason for the license change itself is that it should improve
interoperability with differently licensed code in general.
This essentially reverts commit 1752808.
Remove the ifdef hell from mp_find_user_config_file(). Move the win32
specific code (for MinGW and Cygwin) to path-win.c. The behavior should
be about the same, but I can't be sure due to lack of testing and
because the old path.c code was hard to follow. (I expect those who care
about windows will fix things, should issues pop up - sorry.)
One difference is that the new code will always force MPV_HOME. It looks
like the old code preferred the mpv config dir in the exe dir if it
exists.
Also, make sure MP_PATH_MAX has enough space, even if the equivalent
wchar_t string is not 0-terminated with PATH_MAX (because apparently the
winapi doesn't require this). (Actually, maybe we should just kill all
uses of PATH_MAX/MP_PATH_MAX.)
This is a bit "hard", because getenv() returns a static string, and we
can't just return an allocated string. We also want getenv() to be
thread-safe if possible. (If the mpv core is going to be more threaded,
we sure do want the lower layers to be thread-safe as well.)
Turns out that these checks were for versions of OS X that mpv doesn't even
support anymore. So just remove the checks since they cause a deprecation
warning.
GetCurrentProcess() is deprecated on 10.9. Make a universal solution by
checking OS version number.
get_system_version() function is the recommended Apple way of getting the
OS version, since Gestalt is also deprecated (and does pretty much the same
thing anyway)
Updating HIDRemote.m to use a similar function would allow to get rid of the
2 other warnings.
I did commit 86c05655d by thinking `mpv` already removed the `mpv` from
argc/argv. It actually is still there, so the argc must be 1 to check for no
arguments.
Thanks to @Nyx0uf for pointing out the bug and for testing on 10.9!
File opening through Finder, apparently drops `--psn` arguments on Mavericks
and just uses no args. Modify the code to account for that case.
This wasn't tested on 10.9 itself (I don't have a paid dev account), but it
*should* work if I understood the problem correctly.
Pretty useful for people writing userscripts for web browsers. Links starting
with 'mpv://' are forwarded to the mpv OSX bundle. The leading 'mpv://' is
stripped from the recived url and the rest of the string is inserted as is in
the playlist.
This prevents keys to become stuck due to changing keyboard modifiers during
the key down. Not the prettiest approach but event `x11_common` does it like
this.
Fixes#210
Fixes reports of printing of garbage (or anything else) other than clearing
the status line to the end of line: the buffer returned by termcap_get
could get moved, and if that happened then these 3 caps pointed to garbage.
setupterm abort()s if it can't initialize the terminal and the last
parameter is NULL; handle setupterm errors and retry with "ansi" if
the TERM env var was unset.
Due to the termcap matching and the hardcoded fallbacks, the ESC keypress
has to be followed by another non-matching keypress (such as another ESC)
for it to be accepted. We drop the second ESC in case it was typed twice.
If the first character is not a valid UTF-8 start code nor is in termcap,
getch2 would enter an infinite loop. Always walk 1 byte in the UTF-8 case
unless it's a valid start code.
If we still haven't read the full key from the input but it's regardless a
unique match in the database, we could receive a NULL keycode from
keys_search (it's not a full match after all) and proceed to use it.
Don't disable the keycode matching code if we don't have termcap as we can
still match against the hardcoded sequences.
