* refactor: use std::make_shared
Since there is no way to mark parameters as [potentially] unused in
standard C and when using MSVC compiler, use the widely accepted
cast-to-void approach instead.
This way all the qualifiers (`const`, `volatile`, `mutable`) are grouped
together, e.g. `T const* const x` vs. `const T* const x`. Also helps reading
types right-to-left, e.g. "constant pointer to constant T" vs. "constant
pointer to T which is constant".
There're places where manual intervention is still required as uncrustify
is not ideal (unfortunately), but at least one may rely on it to do the
right thing most of the time (e.g. when sending in a patch).
The style itself is quite different from what we had before but making it
uniform across all the codebase is the key. I also hope that it'll make the
code more readable (YMMV) and less sensitive to further changes.
In systemd v209, released over two years ago, the various libsystemd-*
libraries (libsystemd-journal.so, libsystemd-login.so, libsystem-daemon.so,
libsystemd-id128.so) were merged into a single libsystemd.so library to
reduce code duplication and avoid cyclic dependencies.
Implement BSD/Darwin (kqueue) and Windows (ReadDirectoryChanges) mechanisms
for receiving directory change notifications. Use events instead of polling
for changes. Retry file parsing up to 3 times before giving up.
Huge thanks to missionsix for preparing first two versions of the patch.
Factor out demonization implementation to platform-specific files.
Implement daemonization on Windows using service API. Improve *NIX
implementation by handling signals asynchronously to prevent potential
issues of running complex code inside the handler.
This should not affect non-Win32 platforms in any way.
As for Win32 (both MinGW and MSVC), this should hopefully allow for
unpatched compilation. Correct functioning is not yet guaranteed though.
1. add the option the code to be used under GPLv2 or GPLv3; previously only GPLv2 was allowed
2. add the "proxy option" as described in GPLv3 so we can add future licenses without having to bulk-edit everything again :)
3. remove the awkward "exception for MIT code in Mac client" clause; it was unnecessary and confusing.
