This patch introduces code generation for the WindowServer IPC with
its clients. The client/server endpoints are defined by the two .ipc
files in Servers/WindowServer/: WindowServer.ipc and WindowClient.ipc
It now becomes significantly easier to add features and capabilities
to WindowServer since you don't have to know nearly as much about all
the intricate paths that IPC messages take between LibGUI and WSWindow.
The new system also uses significantly less IPC bandwidth since we're
now doing packed serialization instead of passing fixed-sized structs
of ~600 bytes for each message.
Some repaint coalescing optimizations are lost in this conversion and
we'll need to look at how to implement those in the new world.
The old CoreIPC::Client::Connection and CoreIPC::Server::Connection
classes are removed by this patch and replaced by use of ConnectionNG,
which will be renamed eventually.
Goodbye, old WindowServer IPC. You served us well :^)
This patch expands the object model of this program quite a bit.
We now have a RemoteProcess object that contains a list of remote root
RemoteObject objects.
The RemoteProcess vends a RemoteObjectGraphModel&, and indices in that
model have internal_data() pointing to a corresponding RemoteObject.
RemoteObjects in turn vend a RemoteObjectPropertyModel&, which is what
we use to show the object properties.
This is pretty cool :^)
Here comes the foundation for a neat remote debugging tool.
Right now, it connects to a remote process's CEventLoop RPC socket and
retreives the remote object graph JSON dump. The remote object graph
is then reconstructed and exposed through a GModel subclass, which is
then displayed in a GTreeView.
It's pretty cool, I think. :^)
