If I'm understanding the standard C library correctly, setenv() copies while
putenv() does not. That's really confusing and putenv() basically sucks.
To know which environment variables to free on replacement and which ones to
leave alone, we keep track of the ones malloced by setenv in a side table.
This patch also moves Shell to using setenv() instead of putenv().
Fixes#29.
It can't be 100% precise but it doesn't really matter. Use this to implement
realloc() nicely. This also fixes a bug in realloc() where we didn't take
the size of the allocation metadata into account when computing the size of
an allocation backed by a BigAllocationBlock.
Also run it across the whole tree to get everything using the One True Style.
We don't yet run this in an automated fashion as it's a little slow, but
there is a snippet to do so in makeall.sh.
This is pretty cool. :^)
GraphicsBitmaps are now mapped into both the server and the client address
space (usually at different addresses but that doesn't matter.)
Added a GUI syscall for getting a window's backing store, and another one
for invalidating a window so that the server redraws it.
It only works for sending a signal to a process that's in userspace code.
We implement reception by synthesizing a PUSHA+PUSHF in the receiving process
(operating on values in the TSS.)
The TSS CS:EIP is then rerouted to the signal handler and a tiny return
trampoline is constructed in a dedicated region in the receiving process.
Also hacked up /bin/kill to be able to send arbitrary signals (kill -N PID)
I ran out of steam writing library routines and imported two
BSD-licensed libc routines: sscanf() and getopt().
I will most likely rewrite them sooner or later. For now
I just wanted to see figlet running.
I added a dead-simple malloc that only allows allocations < 4096 bytes.
It just forwards the request to mmap() every time.
I also added simplified versions of opendir() and readdir().
