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.
It looks like the Mac client is already doing this and it's clearly the trend in other apps as well. Even apt-get is using kB/s, ferchrissake... :)
Flame away.
The Berne Convention says that the copyright year is moot, so instead of adding another year to each file as in previous years, I've removed the year altogether from the source code comments in libtransmission, gtk, qt, utils, daemon, and cli.
Juliusz's copyright notice in tr-dht and Johannes' copyright notice in tr-lpd have been left alone; it didn't seem appropriate to modify them.
