- Use port from remote-server.json in dfhack-run
- Make DFHACK_RUN environment variable take priority over remote-server.json
- Log current port to stderr
I often want to see multiple items quickly when trying to figure out
what states actually matter to an issue that I debug. I decided to make
it easier to quickly dump df structures with substructures and
containers. It will generate large amount of data which can be sometimes
slow to process manually. But processing can be automated using
dfhack-run lua ^<df data to inspect> and pipe to other tools (eg grep,
sed, perl, sort, uniq etc)
The bools could use acquire&release memory order or even relaxed but I
didn't think code was worth auditing for such low level optimizations.
Sequantial consistent is fast enough but much harder to use incorrectly.
The timeLast is protected by CoreSuspender lock. plugin_update is only
called when CoreSuspender lock is held.
The last_menu is protected by trackmenu_flg loads and stores.
I noticed an extra null when trying to grep dfhack.run ls output.
std::string manages null byte at end(). Pre C++11 didn't require null
termination for std::string but C++11 add the null termination to make
c_str() and data() truely const. It is undefined behavior to modify the
internal null termination but this modification sets the null to null.
The old CoreSuspender requires processing from Core::Update to allow
commands execute. But that causes issues if Core::Shutdown wants
quarentee cleanup order with std:🧵:join. Fixing shutdown ordering
adds too many branches to already fairly complex code.
I decided to try to refactor CoreSuspender to use simpler locking
locking using a std::recusive_muted as primary synchronization
primitive.
To help control when Core::Update unlocks the primary mutex there is
std::contition_variable_any and std::atomic<size_t> queue lenght
counter.
The last state variable is std::atomic<std:🧵:id> that is used to
keep track of owner thread for Core::IsSuspended query.
This should be merged only just after a release to make sure that it
gets maximum testing in develop branch before next release.
