===========
|
||||
|
||||
* We have some new ``suffix rules'':
|
||||
|
||||
'__l' is a function defined in the client part;
|
||||
'__s' is a function defined in the sysdeps part and
|
||||
'__p' is a function that needs special priviledges.
|
||||
'__r' is mapped either on '__p' or on '__s'.
|
||||
the function without suffix is mapped on '__l'.
|
||||
|
||||
* We now decide at runtime whether or not using the server
|
||||
is required for a particular function. All user programs
|
||||
now call the '__l' function defined in '-lgtop' (in the lib
|
||||
subdir). These functions either use 'glibtop_call__l' to
|
||||
call the server or call the '__r' function.
|
||||
|
||||
* A function in the sysdeps directory now has the '__s' suffix
|
||||
if it do not need any priviledges (and thus can be called directly
|
||||
from client code) and the '__p' suffix otherwise (when it has to
|
||||
be called from the server).
|
||||
|
||||
* If you call one of these functions:
|
||||
|
||||
-> use the '__p' suffix to be sure to get the SUID-safe one
|
||||
(used in the server).
|
||||
-> use the '__s' suffix to be sure to get a function that
|
||||
doesn't need any priviledges.
|
||||
-> use the '__r' suffix otherwise (it is mapped either on the
|
||||
'__p' or on the '__s' one).
|
||||
|
||||
Only use the '__p' and '__s' functions in a 'GLIBTOP_SUID_<feature>'
|
||||
conditional, otherwise you'll get undefined symbols !
|
||||
|
||||
* The server is now started from 'glibtop_init__r', but only when
|
||||
it's really needed; for instance on DEC OSF/1 you only need it
|
||||
for the proc* features - if you program only fetches the CPU usage,
|
||||
now server will be started.
|
||||
|
||||
* Sorry, at the moment everything is a little bit unstable, I'm doing
|
||||
heavy changes. I've just some great ideas which still need some work:
|
||||
|
||||
-> I want to have a SUID server that only implements those features
|
||||
that need to be SUID; everything else uses the sysdeps code directly.
|
||||
|
||||
-> If a program only uses stuff that do not need the server, the
|
||||
server will not be started at all.
|
||||
|
||||
-> I'm working on some kind of proxy server that can be used on a remote
|
||||
host; in feature one can then use the MDI stuff from ghex in gtop to
|
||||
have notebook pages displaying processes from different hosts.
|
||||
|
||||
* Well it is as much unstable that it only works under Linux at the moment.
|
||||
|
||||
1998-06-01 Martin Baulig <martin@home-of-linux.org>
|
||||
|
||||
* sysdeps/common/sysdeps.c: now using '__r' functions,
|
||||
they are #defined either as the '__p' or the '__s' ones.
|
||||
|
||||
* sysdeps/linux/*.c: changed call of 'glibtop_init__r',
|
||||
it now takes two additional arguments.
|
||||
|
||||
* examples/{first.c, second.c}: now using 'glibtop_init'
|
||||
instead of 'glibtop_init__r'.
|
||||
|
||||
* include/glibtop/sysdeps.h: added 'dummy' member so
|
||||
'GLIBTOP_SYSDEPS_<feature>' now start with 1.
|
||||
|
||||
* include/glibtop/*.h: we now #define 'glibtop_get_<feature>'
|
||||
as 'glibtop_get_<feature>__l' and 'glibtop_get_<feature>__r'
|
||||
either as the '__p' or the '__s' function.
|
||||
|
||||
* lib/*.c: removed #if's - we now decide at runtime
|
||||
whether to use the server or to call the appropriate
|
||||
function for the sysdeps directory.
|
||||
|
||||
1998-05-28 Martin Baulig <baulig@merkur.uni-trier.de>
|
||||
|
||||
* src/server/main.c: we now use the '__p' functions,
|
||||
but only if the appropriate 'GLIBTOP_SUID_<feature>'
|
||||
has a non-zero value.
|
||||
|
||||
* configure.in (@machine_incs@): always use
|
||||
`-I$(top_srcdir)/sysdeps/@sysdeps_dir@'; it's no
|
||||
longer conditional.
|
||||
|
||||
* examples/Makefile.am: removed the '_linux' examples.
|
||||
|
||||
* sysdeps/linux/*.c: renamed all functions implementing
|
||||
features to '__s'.
|
||||
|
||||
* lib/*.c: renamed all functions implementing features
|
||||
to '__l'; we only emit code for those functions if the
|
||||
corresponding 'GLIBTOP_SUID_<feature>' has a positive value.
|
||||
|
||||
* include/glibtop/*.h: added some new function suffixes:
|
||||
'__l' is a function defined in the client part;
|
||||
'__s' is a function defined in the sysdeps part and
|
||||
'__p' is a function that needs special priviledges.
|
||||
'__r' is mapped either on '__l' or on '__s'.
|
||||
|
||||
* sysdeps/linux/glibtop_server.h: New file -
|
||||
defines system dependent constants 'GLIBTOP_SUID_<feature>'
|
||||
being either 'GLIBTOP_SYSDEPS_<feature>'+1 depending upon
|
||||
whether or not this feature requires using the server.
|
||||
|
||||
* lib/sysdeps.c: removed that file; it is no longer
|
||||
needed.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|

May/21/1998
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
* doc/gnome-hackers.sgml: This is a short intro on how to use libgtop
|
||||
in the GNOME project. It covers especially the use of its 'configure'
|
||||
script and the automatically generated 'gtopConf.sh'.
|
||||
|
||||
May/20/1998
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
* 'gtopConf.sh' now defines 'GTOP_LIBS' and 'GTOP_INCS' in a manner
|
||||
that they contain everything that is needed to link some program with
|
||||
libgtop. It will use '-lgtop' only if the server is really needed and
|
||||
'-lgtop_sysdeps' otherwise;
|
||||
|
||||
* 'gtopConf.sh' additionally defines 'GTOP_GUILE_LIBS' and 'GTOP_GUILE_INCS'
|
||||
containing everything that is needed to link some program both with
|
||||
libgtop and its guile interface. They are identically to 'GTOP_LIBS'
|
||||
and 'GTOP_INCS' if building the guile interface is disabled or guile
|
||||
cannot be found on the system.
|
||||
|
||||
* 'configure' takes additional arguments '--enable-libgtop-server' and
|
||||
'--disable-libgtop-server' to use the server even when it's not needed
|
||||
or to disable it's use where it's needed.
|
||||
|
||||
* 'configure' takes an argument '--without-libgtop-guile' to disable
|
||||
guile support.
|
||||
|
||||
* 'configure takes an argument '--without-libgtop-names' to remove
|
||||
'-lgtop_names' (and '-lgtop_guile_names' when we have guile) from
|
||||
'GTOP_LIBS'; in this case these libraries are not even built.
|
||||
|
||||
May/19/1998
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
* Libgtop is now in the GNOME CVS Repository.
|
||||
|
||||
May/17/1998
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
* we have now 'const char *glibtop_types_* []' consisting
|
||||
of the C types of the corresponding files of '_glibtop_*'.
|
||||
|
||||
* added guile function '(glibtop-types-*)' and '(glibtop-descriptions-*)'.
|
||||
|
||||
May/10/1998
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
* Port to DEC OSF1 3.0 has been made:
|
||||
|
||||
cpu (total, user, nice, sys, idle)
|
||||
mem (total, used, free)
|
||||
|
||||
loadavg (loadavg)
|
||||
uptime (uptime)
|
||||
|
||||
msg_limits (map, max, mnb, mni, tql)
|
||||
sem_limits (mni, msl, opm, vmx, aem)
|
||||
shm_limits (max, min, mni, seg)
|
||||
|
||||
The following need the server to be SUID root:
|
||||
|
||||
proclist (total, number, size)
|
||||
procdata (cmd, state, uid, pid, ppid, pgrp, tty, k_flags,
|
||||
session, tpgid, sigignore, sigcatch, signal, nice,
|
||||
priority, resident, rss, vsize, utime, stime,
|
||||
cutime, cstime, trs, drs)
|
||||
|
||||
May/07/1998
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
* 'flags' member of sysdeps/linux/procdata.c is now
|
||||
'unsigned long flags [2]'.
|
||||
|
||||
* When we give glibtop_get_procdata () a pid of zero, only
|
||||
the flags are returned.
|
||||
|
||||
* We now use static constants instead of #defines for sysdeps flags.
|
||||
|
||||
May/03/1998
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
* VPATH-Build now working; sometimes it's necessary to copy
|
||||
$(top_srcdir)/po/cat-id-tbl.c to $(top_builddir)/po.
|
||||
|
||||
* The library has been tested on the following systems:
|
||||
|
||||
- i686-pc-linux-gnu
|
||||
- sparc-sun-sunos4.1.1
|
||||
- alpha-dec-osf1 (that's DEC OSF1 3.0 and 3.2)
|
||||
|
||||
* Compilation has been tested on the following systems (I have no root
|
||||
access there and cannot test the library because of this):
|
||||
|
||||
- sparc-sun-solaris2
|
||||
- i386-bsdi
|
||||
|
||||
* Does no longer require Gnome.
|
||||
|
||||
* Guile-Parts are compiled only if guile can be found.
|
||||
|
||||
* Some of the executables are statically linked to copy them more easily
|
||||
between machines.
|
||||
|
||||
May/02/1998
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
* Global changes to the interfaces, all functions except glibtop_open()
|
||||
and glibtop_close() that took a server argument have now a '__r' suffix;
|
||||
the original name is now a macro that uses glibtop_global_server.
|
||||
|
||||
Apr/10/1998
|
||||
===========
|
||||
Added new directory sysdeps/guile/names. It is the guile interface
|
||||
to the gtop_names library found in sysdeps/names. Changed
|
||||
GLIBTOP_DESCRIPTIONS to GLIBTOP_NAMES and added GLIBTOP_GUILE_NAMES
|
||||
to the header files.
|
||||
|
||||
Apr/09/1998
|
||||
===========
|
||||
Added new directories guile and names to sysdeps. In names are
|
||||
some string constants about the data stored in the structures.
|
||||
guile is a guile interface for the library. It is used in
|
||||
examples/third (which has been completely rewritten).
|
||||
The header files define things from names when GLIBTOP_DESCRIPTIONS
|
||||
if defined and/or from guile when HAVE_GUILE is defined.
|
||||
|
||||
Apr/08/1998
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
Added guile wrapper for the library (see examples/third).
