2014-04-21Initial draft xattr supportPeter Seebach
Initial, incomplete, support for extended attributes. Extended attributes are implemented fairly naively, using a second table in the file database using the primary file table's id as a foreign key. The ON DELETE CASCADE behavior requires sqlite 3.6.19 or later with foreign key and trigger support compiled in. To reduce round-trips, the client does not check for existing attributes, but rather, sends three distinct set messages; OP_SET_XATTR, OP_CREATE_XATTR, OP_REPLACE_XATTR. A SET message always succeeds, a CREATE fails if the attribute already exists, and a REPLACE fails if the attribute does not already exist. The /* flags */ feature of makewrappers is used to correct path names appropriately, so all functions are already working with complete paths, and can always use functions that work on links; if they were supposed to dereference, the path fixup code got that. The xattr support is enabled, for now, conditional on whether getfattr --help succeeds. Not yet implemented: Translation for system.posix_acl_access, which is used by "cp -a" (or "cp --preserve-all") on some systems to try to copy modes.

2013-06-25Change debugging to use flags rather than levelsPeter Seebach
This is a moderately intrusive change. The basic overall effect: Debugging messages are now controlled, not by a numeric "level", but by a series of flags, which are expressed as a string of letters. Each flag has a single-letter form used for string specifications, a name, a description, a numeric value (1 through N), and a flag value (which is 1 << the numeric value). (This does mean that no flag has the value 1, so we only have 31 bits available. Tiny violins play.) The other significant change is that the pseudo_debug calls are now implemented with a do/while macro containing a conditional, so that computationally-expensive arguments are never evaluated if the corresponding debug flags weren't set. The assumption is that in the vast majority of cases (specifically, all of them so far) the debug flags for a given call are a compile-time constant, so the nested conditional will never actually show up in code when compiled with optimization; we'll just see the appropriate conditional test. The VERBOSE flag is magical, in that if the VERBOSE flag is used in a message, the debug flags have to have both VERBOSE and at least one other flag for the call to be made. This should dramatically improve performance for a lot of cases without as much need for PSEUDO_NDEBUG, and improve the ability of users to get coherent debugging output that means something and is relevant to a given case. It's also intended to set the stage for future development work involving improving the clarity and legibility of pseudo's diagnostic messages in general. Old things which used numeric values for PSEUDO_DEBUG will sort of continue to work, though they will almost always be less verbose than they used to. There should probably be a pass through adding "| PDBGF_CONSISTENCY" to a lot of the messages that are specific to some other type.
2013-02-16If you don't want the answer, don't ask the question.Peter Seebach
Most pseudo operations don't actually USE the server's response. So why wait for a response? This patch introduces a new message type, PSEUDO_MSG_FASTOP. It also tags pseudo operation types with whether or not they need to give a response. This requires updates to maketables to allow non-string types for additional columns, and the addition of some quotes to the SQL query enums/query_type.in table. A few routines are altered to change their behavior and whether or not they perform a stat operation. The only operations that do wait are OP_FSTAT and OP_STAT, OP_MKNOD, and OP_MAY_UNLINK. Rationale: You can't query the server for replacement information and not wait for it. Makes no sense. There's extra checking in mknod, because we really do want to fail out if we couldn't do that -- that implies that we haven't created a thing that will look like a node. The result from OP_MAY_UNLINK is checked because it's used to determine whether we need to send a DID_UNLINK or CANCEL_UNLINK. It might be cheaper to send two messages without waiting than to send one, wait, and maybe send another, but I don't want to send invalid messages. This is highly experimental.

are generated from text files and templates, making it now (we hope) impossible for the list of strings to get out of sync with the enum.
