In all the cases where sprintf was being used within htop, snprintf
could have been used. This patch replaces all uses of sprintf with
snprintf which makes sure that if a buffer is too small to hold the
resulting string, the string is simply cut short instead of causing
a buffer overflow which leads to undefined behaviour.
`sizeof(variable)` was used in these cases, as opposed to `sizeof
variable` which is my personal preference because `sizeof(variable)`
was already used in one way or another in other parts of the code.
Rationale (copied from htop issue #471):
The function name "setValues" is misleading. For most OOP (object-
oriented programming) contexts, setXXX functions mean they will change
some member variables of an object into something specified in
function arguments. But in the *Meter_setValues() case, the new values
are not from the arguments, but from a hard-coded source. The caller
is not supposed to change the values[] to anything it likes, but
rather to "update" the values from the source. Hence, updateValues is
a better name for this family of functions.
Two changes in this commit:
- All meters now explicitly specify "maxItems" property, even for just
1 item. (Exception is "container" CPU meter classes, which use
CUSTOM_METERMODE.)
- "maxItems" being 0 is now allowed. This will let bar meters and graph
meters render an empty meter.
* Performance improvements
* Support for splitting CPU meters into two or four columns
(thanks to Wim Heirman)
* Switch from PLPA, which is now deprecated, to HWLOC.
* Bring back support for native Linux sched_setaffinity,
so we don't have to use HWLOC where we don't need to.
* Support for typing in user names and column fields in selection panels.
