Code that is shared across some (but not all) platforms
is moved into a 'generic' home. Makefile.am cleanups to
match plus some minor alphabetic reordering/formatting.
As discussed in https://github.com/htop-dev/htop/pull/553
Several of our newer meters have merged coding concerns in terms
of extracting values and displaying those values. This commit
rectifies that for the SysArch and Hostname meters, allowing use
of this code with alternative front/back ends. The SysArch code
is also refined to detect whether the platform has an os-release
file at all and/or the sys/utsname.h header via configure.ac.
As SYSCONFDIR is a compile time string literal, use compile time string
concatenation instead of a runtime one.
Also drop related TODO, cause we indeed using the correct way of getting
$sysconfdir from autoconf
At start, SysArchMeter calls the uname function to obtain the kernel
version and architecture. If available, the distro version is obtained
by calling lsb_release. The obtained values are stored in static
variables and used when updating the meter.
- require autoconf version 2.69
was released in 2012 and one still can configure and build on older
systems (just not generate the configure script)
- use modern C99 compiler check
- drop obsolete checks: AC_C_CONST, AC_FUNC_CLOSEDIR_VOID, AC_FUNC_STAT
- drop AC_HEADER_STDBOOL in favor of C99 compatibility
Use only one enum instead of a global and a platform specific one.
Drop Platform_numberOfFields global variable.
Set known size of Process_fields array
taskstats is only checked on runtime if the column RCHAR, WCHAR, SYSCR,
SYSCW, RBYTES, WBYTES, CNCLWB, IO_READ_RATE, IO_WRITE_RATE or IO_RATE is
selected.
taskstats is currently enabled by default.
Drop the taskstats configuration switch, to reduce the maintenance cost.
cgroup is only checked on runtime if the column CGROUP is selected.
cgroup is currently disabled by default, but most distributions do
enable it.
Drop the cgroup configuration switch, to reduce the maintenance cost.
Add a date meter and sort header and source files in Makefile
Change the lists of header and source files sorted alphabetical and one
file per line. This way diffs become better readable and merges easier.
For a process with a very long command, especially with many long
command line arguments, inspecting the command and its arguments could
become inconvenient.
Meanwhile htop supports the concept of "screen", or window, which is
extended here to create a dedicated "CommandScreen", making it possible
to display the command of the selected process in a separate window
meanwhile being wrapped into multiple lines.
Another benefit of using a command screen is, the user can navigate
through the wrapped lines of the command and perform actions like
searching and filtering.
- enable warnings in autogen script
- drop unused m4/ directory usage
- drop AC_TYPE_SIGNAL:
C99 guarantees the signal return type to be void
- drop AC_CHECK_FILE of procdir:
most of the time compilation is done on a different system than htop is run
and there is a runtime check in place
- improve linux_affinity corss compile logic:
use fourth argument instead of pre-test
The MIN, MAX, CLAMP, MINIMUM, and MAXIMUM macros appear
throughout the codebase with many re-definitions. Make
a single copy of each in a common header file, and use
the BSD variants of MINIMUM/MAXIMUM due to conflicts in
the system <sys/param.h> headers.
Reasoning:
- implementation was unsound -- broke down when I added a fairly
basic macro definition expanding to a struct initializer in a *.c
file.
- made it way too easy (e.g. via otherwise totally innocuous git
commands) to end up with timestamps such that it always ran
MakeHeader.py but never used its output, leading to overbuild noise
when running what should be a null 'make'.
- but mostly: it's just an awkward way of dealing with C code.
