Problem:
- `(void)` simply casts the expression to void. This is understood to
indicate that it is ignored, but this is really a compiler trick to
get the compiler to not generate a warning.
Solution:
- Use the `[[maybe_unused]]` attribute to indicate the value is unused.
Note:
- Functions taking a `(void)` argument list have also been changed to
`()` because this is not needed and shows up in the same grep
command.
This is a new "browse" permission that lets you open (and subsequently list
contents of) directories underneath the path, but not regular files or any other
types of files.
It's a thin userland wrapper around adjtime(2). It can be used
to view current pending time adjustments, and root can use it to
smoothly adjust the system time.
As far as I can tell, other systems don't have a userland utility
for this, but it seems useful. Useful enough that I'm adding it to
the lagom build so I can use it on my linux box too :)
Most systems (Linux, OpenBSD) adjust 0.5 ms per second, or 0.5 us per
1 ms tick. That is, the clock is sped up or slowed down by at most
0.05%. This means adjusting the clock by 1 s takes 2000 s, and the
clock an be adjusted by at most 1.8 s per hour.
FreeBSD adjusts 5 ms per second if the remaining time adjustment is
>= 1 s (0.5%) , else it adjusts by 0.5 ms as well. This allows adjusting
by (almost) 18 s per hour.
Since Serenity OS can lose more than 22 s per hour (#3429), this
picks an adjustment rate up to 1% for now. This allows us to
adjust up to 36s per hour, which should be sufficient to adjust
the clock fast enough to keep up with how much time the clock
currently loses. Once we have a fancier NTP implementation that can
adjust tick rate in addition to offset, we can think about reducing
this.
adjtime is a bit old-school and most current POSIX-y OSs instead
implement adjtimex/ntp_adjtime, but a) we have to start somewhere
b) ntp_adjtime() is a fairly gnarly API. OpenBSD's adjfreq looks
like it might provide similar functionality with a nicer API. But
before worrying about all this, it's probably a good idea to get
to a place where the kernel APIs are (barely) good enough so that
we can write an ntp service, and once we have that we should write
a way to automatically evaluate how well it keeps the time adjusted,
and only then should we add improvements ot the adjustment mechanism.
This is implemented in Line::Editor meaning not only the Shell will
respect it, but also js, Debugger etc.
Possible values are "ignorespace", "ignoredups" and "ignoreboth", as
documented in Shell-vars(7), for now.
The default value for the anon user (set in .shellrc) is "ignoreboth".
This patchset adds the following to the manpage:
- Mention `if` expressions.
- Add section about subshells
- Mention that control structures can now be used as commands
- Update the grammar.
- Fix small header size mistake with "Example"'s being larger than their
containing sections.
This syscall allows a parent process to disown a child process, setting
its parent PID to 0.
Unparented processes are automatically reaped by the kernel upon exit,
and no sys$waitid() is required. This will make it much nicer to do
spawn-and-forget which is common in the GUI environment.
Now that we have a standalone test-js program, the "-t" test mode of the
js REPL is unused and can simply be removed. Required functionality has
been duplicated in test-js (isStrictMode function, loading of testing
utilities).
Also remove outdated information about tests from the js(1) man page.
