OSDriveAspect encapsulates operating system specific properties of an
|
||||||
|
individual drive. It shall be handed out by SCSI_EXEC via the GESTURES layer
|
||||||
|
to EquipDrive where it forms the link between cevap drive model and operating
|
||||||
|
system driver.
|
||||||
|
This class description models the implementation specific to Linux.

Description of CgeN
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For a description of CgeN see libcevap/cgen.txt
|
||||||
cgen produces a class stub in C programming language. The data structure of
|
|
||||||
the class is described by some lines which get read from stdin. The stub will
|
|
||||||
consist of two files <classname>.h and <classname>.c which emerge in the
|
|
||||||
current working directory.
|
|
||||||
It will define a struct <ClassnamE> for representing the class data aspects,
|
|
||||||
construtor <Classname>_new(), destructor <Classname>_destroy(),
|
|
||||||
getter <Classname>_<element>_get() for each structure element.
|
|
||||||
Some more functions get added for particular class and element roles.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
After first generation, there is no further support by cgen. It simply refuses
|
|
||||||
to overwrite existing files because it supposes that those contain code added
|
|
||||||
by the human programmer.
|
|
||||||
Those programmer enhancements are supposed to include explanatory comments,
|
|
||||||
class specific methods, initial element values and other special precautions
|
|
||||||
within the generated functions.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Command line options
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
-no_stic prevents usage of stic_dir/s_tools/*.[ch]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
-ansi generates ANSI C function heads and makes file <classname>.h hold
|
|
||||||
only public definitions: an opaque declaration of the class struct
|
|
||||||
and a list of function prototypes. The definiton of the class
|
|
||||||
struct is then in <classname>_private.h .
|
|
||||||
-global_include filename
|
|
||||||
sets the name of a file which will contain globally necessary
|
|
||||||
declarations. Currently it lists the existence of all class
|
|
||||||
structs.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Input line format:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There are two states of input: class level and element level.
|
|
||||||
Exampes are shown below with class roles and element roles.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Input starts at class level. A class level line may be one of
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Comment. A line which begins with '#' is ignored on class level.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Empty. A line with no characters is a comment with empty text (i.e. ignored).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Class. Options which begin with '-' and finally a word in lowercase letters
|
|
||||||
which defines the <classname>. The classname leads to a struct ClassnamE
|
|
||||||
and some class methods implemented as C functions <Classnname>_<func>().
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- End of input. Line "@@@" or EOF at stdin end the program run.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
After a class line, input switches to element level where a line may be:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Comment. A line which after some white space begins with '#' is considered
|
|
||||||
a comment. The preceeding white space is ignored and the text after '#' is
|
|
||||||
eventuellay trimmed by a single blank at both ends. This text will be part
|
|
||||||
of the class struct definition within file <classname_private>.h as a single
|
|
||||||
C comment line /* ... */. The sequence of elements and comments is preserved.
|
|
||||||
An empty comment text leads to an empty line in <classname_private>.h.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Empty. A line with no characters is a comment with empty text.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Element. Options which begin with '-', eventual C keywords "unsigned" or
|
|
||||||
"volatile", type or "struct <NamE>", element name. This leads to a struct
|
|
||||||
element which is taken into respect in some class methods. Depending on the
|
|
||||||
options in this line, some element methods <Classnname>_<func>_<element>()
|
|
||||||
may get generated.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- End of class. A single '@' marks the end of the element list and brings
|
|
||||||
input back to class level. I.e. next is expected another class name or
|
|
||||||
"@@@" or EOF at stdin.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Input semantics:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A class can have one of two roles:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Standalone class.
|
|
||||||
Input example:
|
|
||||||
my_class
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Listable class, which has pointers to peer instances: .prev and .next
|
|
||||||
Such classes get a list destructor <Classname>_destroy_all() which destroys
|
|
||||||
all members of a list (which is given by any of the list members).
|
|
||||||
Such a class should have a pointer *boss as first element in which case
|
|
||||||
the constructor will look like
|
|
||||||
<Classname>_new(struct <ClassnamE> **o,struct <Some_clasS> *boss,int flag);
|
|
||||||
There is a function <Classname>_link() which inserts an instance into a list
|
|
||||||
and a function <Classname>_count() which tells the number of list members.
|
|
||||||
Input example:
|
|
||||||
-l my_class
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A modifier is defined for classes:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Bossless. Disables a special boss-subordinate relationship which is created
|
|
||||||
if the first element of a class is a struct pointer with the name "boss".
|
|
||||||
Like
|
|
||||||
-l <classname>
|
|
||||||
-v struct Some_clasS *boss
|
|
||||||
Normally such a parameter *boss becomes part of the constructor method
|
|
||||||
<Classname>_new(struct <ClassnamE> **o, struct Some_clasS *boss, int flag);
|
|
||||||
This relationship is typical for a listable class and a single class which
|
|
||||||
is designed to host instances of that listable class. Therefore one gets a
|
|
||||||
warning if a listable class does not begin with a struct pointer *boss.
|
|
||||||
But if -b is given, then CgeN ill not include a parameter *boss into the
|
|
||||||
constructor. It will rather look normal:
|
|
||||||
<Classname>_new(struct <ClassnamE> **o, int flag);
|
|
||||||
It will not warn if the first element of a listable class is not struct
|
|
||||||
pointer *boss.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Elements have one of the following roles:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Value. It provides only storage for a C data type (which may be a C pointer
|
|
||||||
despite the role name "value"), a getter method <Classname>_<element>_get(),
|
|
||||||
and a setter method <Classname>_<element>_set().
|
|
||||||
Input examples:
|
|
||||||
-v int i
|
|
||||||
-v int a[100]
|
|
||||||
-v char *cpt
|
|
||||||
-v struct xyz x
|
|
||||||
-v struct xyz *xpt
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Managed. This has to be a pointer to a struct <XyZ> or to char. It will not
|
|
||||||
get attached to an object by the stub's code but its destructor
|
|
||||||
<Xyz>_destroy() will be called by <Classname>_destruct(). In case of (char *)
|
|
||||||
it is supposed that a non-NULL value has been allocated by malloc().
|
|
||||||
Managed (char *) types get a setter function <Classname>_<element>_set()
|
|
||||||
which allocates memory and copies the textstring from its parameter.
|
|
||||||
Input examples:
|
|
||||||
-m struct XyZ *xyzpt
|
|
||||||
-m char *textstring
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Chainlink. A pair of prev-next-style pointers to the own class struct.
|
|
||||||
Function <Classname>_destruct() will unlink the affected instance and
|
|
||||||
put together its link partners.
|
|
||||||
Input example (there must always be two consequtive -c lines):
|
|
||||||
-c struct My_clasS *up
|
|
||||||
-c struct My_clasS *down
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- List. A pair of pointers to the struct <XyZ> of a listable class. The first
|
|
||||||
one <ls> holds the start of the list, the second one <eol> holds the end.
|
|
||||||
For insertion of list items there is provided method <Classname>_new_<ls>().
|
|
||||||
The inserted item is then content of the <eol> pointer.
|
|
||||||
<Classname>_destroy() instance calls <Xyz>_destroy_all(). There is a method
|
|
||||||
<Classname>_set_<eol>() which should be used with caution, if ever.
|
|
||||||
Input example (there must always be a -l and a -v line):
|
|
||||||
-l struct XyZ *list_start
|
|
||||||
-v struct XyZ *list_end
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The availability of getter method <Classname>_get_<element>(), and setter
|
|
||||||
method <Classname>_set_<element>_set() can be controled by two modifiers:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Readonly. Only a getter method.
|
|
||||||
Input example
|
|
||||||
-r -v int broadcasted_status
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Private. Neither getter nor setter method.
|
|
||||||
Input example
|
|
||||||
-p -v int private_value
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Bossless listable. This marks elements which are listable objects but do not
|
|
||||||
expect a boss pointer in their constructor. See above: Listable class and
|
|
||||||
the bossless modifier for classes.
|
|
||||||
Input example
|
|
||||||
-b -l struct XyZ *list
|
|
||||||
-v struct XyZ *last_in_list
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Example run:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
rm class_x.c class_x.h class_y.c class_y.h
|
|
||||||
bin/cgen <<+
|
|
||||||
-l class_x
|
|
||||||
-r -v struct Boss_clasS *boss
|
|
||||||
-v int x
|
|
||||||
-r -v struct stat stbuf
|
|
||||||
-m struct Class_Y *y
|
|
||||||
-m char *text
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
-c struct Class_X *slave
|
|
||||||
-b -l struct Class_X *provider
|
|
||||||
-r -v struct Class_X *last_provider
|

Functions to replace malloc() and free() in order to get more control
|
|
||||||
over memory leaks or spurious errors caused by faulty usage of malloc()
|
|
||||||
and free().
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Sourcecode provisions:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Use only the following macros for memory management:
|
|
||||||
TSOB_FELD(type,count) creates an array of items of given type
|
|
||||||
Smem_malloC() analogue of malloc()
|
|
||||||
Smem_freE() analogue of free()
|
|
||||||
One may #define malloc Smem_malloC resp. #define free Smem_freE
|
|
||||||
but better would be to review (and often to streamline) the sourcecode
|
|
||||||
in respect to those two functions.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Speed versus control:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In production versions, where maximum speed is required, one may undefine
|
|
||||||
the macro Smem_own_functionS in smem.h .
|
|
||||||
This causes the above macros to directly invoke malloc() and free() without
|
|
||||||
any speed reduction (and without any additional use).
|
|
||||||
Undefinitio can be done globaly by modifying smem.h or locally by defining
|
|
||||||
Smem_no_own_functionS before including smem.h .
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If Smem_own_functionS remains defined, then the functions
|
|
||||||
Smem_malloc()
|
|
||||||
Smem_free()
|
|
||||||
are used rather than malloc() and free().
|
|
||||||
They count the number of calls to maintain a rough overview of memory usage.
|
|
||||||
Smem_malloc() additionally checks for 0 size and Smem_free() checks for
|
|
||||||
NULL pointers, which they both report to stderr. Eventually one should set
|
|
||||||
a breakpoint in function Smem_protest() to learn about the origin of such
|
|
||||||
messages.
|
|
||||||
A status line may be obtained by Smem_report() or printed by Smem_stderr().
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
As long as the variable Smem_record_itemS is set to 0, there is not very much
|
|
||||||
overhead compared with malloc() and free().
|
|
||||||
If the variable is set to 1 by Smem_set_record_items() then all malloc()
|
|
||||||
results are kept in a list where they will be deleted by their corresponding
|
|
||||||
Smem_free() calls. If a pointer is to be freed, which is not recorded in the
|
|
||||||
list then an error message will be printed to stderr. The memory will not
|
|
||||||
be freed !
|
|
||||||
This mode not only may be very slow, it also consumes at least 16 byte per
|
|
||||||
piece of data which was obtained by malloc as long as it has not been freed.
|
|
||||||
Due to the current nature of the list, large numbers of memory items are freed
|
|
||||||
much faster in the reverse order of their creation. If there is a list of
|
|
||||||
100000 strings to delete, it is very rewarding to free the youngest ones first.
|
|
||||||
A shortcut via hashing is available but consumes 24 bytes rather than 16.
|
|
||||||
(see above Smem_with_hasH )
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The function Smem_is_recorded() can be used to check wether a pointer is
|
|
||||||
valid according to the list. It returns :
|
|
||||||
0 = is not in list , 1 = is in list , 2 = recording is off
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If one decides to start recording malloc() results in the midst of a program
|
|
||||||
run, one has to be aware of false protests of Smem_free() if a memory piece
|
|
||||||
has been allocated before recording started. This will also cause those pieces
|
|
||||||
to be memory leaks because Smem_free() refuses to delete them. (Freeing memory
|
|
||||||
that was not obtained by malloc or was already freed previously can result in
|
|
||||||
deferred SIGSEGV or similar trouble, depending on OS and library.)
|
|
||||||
Also in that case one should stop recording before ending the program, to
|
|
||||||
avoid a lot of false complaints about longliving memory objects.
