2020-03-25DRTVWR-476: Try to log stderr output from classic-C libraries.Nat Goodspeed
Some of the libraries we use produce log output to stderr. Such output can be informative, but is invisible unless you launch the viewer from a console. In particular, it's invisible to anyone trying to diagnose a problem by reading someone else's SecondLife.log file. Make RecordToFile -- the Recorder subclass engaged by LLError::logToFile() -- redirect STDERR_FILENO to the newly-opened log file so that any subsequent writes to stderr (or cerr, for that matter) will be captured in the log file. But first duplicate the original stderr file handle, and restore it when RecordToFile is destroyed. That way, output written to stderr during the final moments of application shutdown should still appear on (console) stderr.
2020-03-25DRTVWR-476: Add LLUniqueFile, adding RAII semantics to LLFILE*.Nat Goodspeed
LLUniqueFile wraps an LLFILE* in a move-only class that closes the wrapped LLFILE* on destruction. It provides conversion operators to permit idiomatic usage as an LLFILE* value.
2020-03-25DRTVWR-476: Use shared_ptr to manage lifespan of coprocedure queue.Nat Goodspeed
Since the consuming coroutine LLCoprocedurePool::coprocedureInvokerCoro() has been observed to outlive the LLCoprocedurePool instance that owns the CoprocQueue_t, closing that queue isn't enough to keep the coroutine from crashing at shutdown: accessing a deleted CoprocQueue_t is fatal whether or not it's been closed. Make LLCoprocedurePool store a shared_ptr to a heap CoprocQueue_t instance, and pass that shared_ptr by value to consuming coroutines. That way the CoprocQueue_t instance is guaranteed to live as long as the last interested party.
2020-03-25DRTVWR-476: Keep coroutine-local data on toplevel()'s stack frame.Nat Goodspeed
Instead of heap-allocating a CoroData instance per coroutine, storing the pointer in a ptr_map and deleting it from the ptr_map once the fiber_specific_ptr for that coroutine is cleaned up -- just declare a stack instance on the top-level stack frame, the simplest C++ lifespan management. Derive CoroData from LLInstanceTracker to detect potential name collisions and to enumerate instances. Continue registering each coroutine's CoroData instance in our fiber_specific_ptr, but use a no-op deleter function. Make ~LLCoros() directly pump the fiber scheduler a few times, instead of having a special "LLApp" listener.

2020-03-25DRTVWR-476: Pump coroutines a few more times when we start quitting.Nat Goodspeed
By the time "LLApp" listeners are notified that the app is quitting, the mainloop is no longer running. Even though those listeners do things like close work queues and inject exceptions into pending promises, any coroutines waiting on those resources must regain control before they can notice and shut down properly. Add a final "LLApp" listener that resumes ready coroutines a few more times. Make sure every other "LLApp" listener is positioned before that new one.

2020-03-25DRTVWR-476: Terminate long-lived coroutines to avoid shutdown crash.Nat Goodspeed
Add LLCoros::TempStatus instances around known suspension points so printActiveCoroutines() can report what each suspended coroutine is waiting for. Similarly, sprinkle checkStop() calls at known suspension points. Make LLApp::setStatus() post an event to a new LLEventPump "LLApp" with a string corresponding to the status value being set, but only until ~LLEventPumps() -- since setStatus() also gets called very late in the application's lifetime. Make postAndSuspendSetup() (used by postAndSuspend(), suspendUntilEventOn(), postAndSuspendWithTimeout(), suspendUntilEventOnWithTimeout()) add a listener on the new "LLApp" LLEventPump that pushes the new LLCoros::Stopping exception to the coroutine waiting on the LLCoros::Promise. Make it return the new LLBoundListener along with the previous one. Accordingly, make postAndSuspend() and postAndSuspendWithTimeout() store the new LLBoundListener returned by postAndSuspendSetup() in a LLTempBoundListener (as with the previous one) so it will automatically disconnect once the wait is over. Make each LLCoprocedurePool instance listen on "LLApp" with a listener that closes the queue on which new work items are dispatched. Closing the queue causes the waiting dispatch coroutine to terminate. Store the connection in an LLTempBoundListener on the LLCoprocedurePool so it will disconnect automatically on destruction. Refactor the loop in coprocedureInvokerCoro() to instantiate TempStatus around the suspending call. Change a couple spammy LL_INFOS() calls to LL_DEBUGS(). Give all logging calls in that module a "CoProcMgr" tag to make it straightforward to re-enable the LL_DEBUGS() calls as desired.
2020-03-25DRTVWR-476: Infrastructure to help manage long-lived coroutines.Nat Goodspeed
Introduce LLCoros::Stop exception, with subclasses Stopping, Stopped and Shutdown. Add LLCoros::checkStop(), intended to be called periodically by any coroutine with nontrivial lifespan. It checks the LLApp status and, unless isRunning(), throws one of these new exceptions. Make LLCoros::toplevel() catch Stop specially and log forcible coroutine termination. Now that LLApp status matters even in a test program, introduce a trivial LLTestApp subclass whose sole function is to make isRunning() true. (LLApp::setStatus() is protected: only a subclass can call it.) Add LLTestApp instances to lleventcoro_test.cpp and lllogin_test.cpp. Make LLCoros::toplevel() accept parameters by value rather than by const reference so we can continue using them even after context switches. Make private LLCoros::get_CoroData() static. Given that we've observed some coroutines living past LLCoros destruction, making the caller call LLCoros::instance() is more dangerous than encapsulating it within a static method -- since the encapsulated call can check LLCoros::wasDeleted() first and do something reasonable instead. This also eliminates the need for both a const and non-const overload. Defend LLCoros::delete_CoroData() (cleanup function for fiber_specific_ptr for CoroData, implicitly called after coroutine termination) against calls after ~LLCoros(). Add a status string to coroutine-local data, with LLCoro::setStatus(), getStatus() and RAII class TempStatus. Add an optional 'when' string argument to LLCoros::printActiveCoroutines(). Make ~LLCoros() print the coroutines still active at destruction.
2020-03-25DRTVWR-476: Mention LLApp::stepFrame() in LLAppViewer::idle()Nat Goodspeed
which performs "by hand" the same sequence of calls found in stepFrame(). Why not simply call stepFrame()? Hysterical reasons?
2020-03-25DRTVWR-476: Make ~LLEventPumps() call reset() on its way out.Nat Goodspeed
~LLEventPumps() deletes every LLEventPump instance it created itself. However, many classes themselves contain LLEventPump subclass instances. These are registered with LLEventPumps without it managing their lifespan. But LLEventPump::reset() frees the LLStandardSignal aka boost::signals2::signal instance owned by the LLEventPump, perforce disconnecting all current listeners and disabling the LLEventPump. Even though the instance still exists, if someone subsequently calls post(), nothing will happen -- which is better than control trying to reach a method of a deleted object.

2020-03-25DRTVWR-476: Eliminate static LLEventPump factory maps.Nat Goodspeed
Having a map from std::string to a factory function returning LLEventPump* is a cool idea, especially since you could statically populate such a map with string literals and little lambdas. Unfortunately, static initialization of any data is a bad idea when control can reach consuming code before that module's static data are constructed. Since LLEventPumps is already an LLSingleton, it's simple enough to make its map non-static and initialize it in the constructor. But another recent static factory-function map was introduced in llleaplistener.cpp to support the LLLeapListener::newpump() operation. That involves no LLSingletons. Introduce LLEventPumps::make(name, tweak, type) to instantiate an LLEventPump subclass of the specified type with specified (name, tweak) parameters. Instances returned by make() are owned by LLEventPumps, as with obtain(). Introduce LLEventPumps::BadType exception for when the type string isn't recognized. LLEventPumps::obtain() can then simply call make() when the specified instance name doesn't already exist. The configuration data used internally by obtain() becomes { string instance name, string subclass name }. Although this too is currently initialized in the LLEventPumps constructor, migrating it to a configuration file would now be far more straightforward than before. LLLeapListener::newpump(), too, can call LLEventPumps::make() with the caller-specified type string. This eliminates that static factory map. newpump() must catch BadType and report the error back to its invoker. Given that the LLEventPump subclass instances returned by make() are owned by LLEventPumps rather than LLLeapListener, there is no further need for the LLLeapListener::mEventPumps ptr_map, which was used only to manage lifetime. Also remove LLLeapListener's "killpump" operation since LLEventPumps provides no corresponding functionality.

2020-03-25DRTVWR-476: Kill LLEventQueue, per-frame LLEventPump::flush() calls.Nat Goodspeed
No one uses LLEventQueue to defer posted events until the next mainloop tick -- and with LLCoros moving to Boost.Fiber, cross-coroutine event posting works that way anyway, making LLEventQueue pretty unnecessary. The static RegisterFlush instance in llevents.cpp was used to call LLEventPumps::flush() once per mainloop tick, which in turn called flush() on every registered LLEventPump. But the only reason for that mechanism was to support LLEventQueue. In fact, when LLEventMailDrop overrode its flush() method for something quite different, it was startling to find that the new flush() override was being called once per frame -- which caused at least one fairly mysterious bug. Remove RegisterFlush. Both LLEventPumps::flush() and LLEventPump::flush() remain for now, though intended usage is unclear. Eliminating LLEventQueue means we must at least repurpose LLEventPumps::mQueueNames, a map intended to make LLEventPumps::obtain() instantiate an LLEventQueue rather than the default LLEventPump. Replace it with mFactories, a map from desired instance name to a callable returning LLEventPump*. New map initialization syntax plus lambda support allows us to populate that map at compile time with little lambdas returning the correct subclass instance. Similarly, LLLeapListener::newpump() used to check the ["type"] entry in the LLSD request specifically for "LLEventQueue". Introduce another such map in llleaplistener.cpp for potential future extensibility. Eliminate the LLEventQueue-specific test.
2020-03-25DRTVWR-476: Introduce LLEventMailDrop::discard() (instead of flush()).Nat Goodspeed
Overriding virtual LLEventPump::flush() for the semantic of discarding LLEventMailDrop's queued events turns out not to be such a great idea, because LLEventPumps::flush(), which calls every registered LLEventPump's flush() method, is called every mainloop tick. The first time we hit a use case in which we expected LLEventMailDrop to hold queued events across a mainloop tick, we were baffled that they were never delivered. Moving that logic to a separate method specific to LLEventMailDrop resolves that problem. Naming it discard() clarifies its intended functionality.
2020-03-25DRTVWR-476: Directly reference LLVivoxVoiceClient::mVivoxPump.Nat Goodspeed
The LLEventMailDrop used to communicate with the Vivox coroutine is a member of LLVivoxVoiceClient. We don't need to keep looking it up by its string name in LLEventPumps.
2020-03-25DRTVWR-476: Add LLEventLogProxy, LLEventLogProxyFor<T>.Nat Goodspeed
LLEventLogProxy can be introduced to serve as a logging proxy for an existing LLEventPump subclass instance. Access through the LLEventLogProxy will be logged; access directly to the underlying LLEventPump will not. LLEventLogProxyFor<LLEventPumpSubclass> functions as a drop-in replacement for the original LLEventPumpSubclass instance. It internally instantiates LLEventPumpSubclass and serves as a proxy for that instance. Add unit tests for LLEventMailDrop and LLEventLogProxyFor<LLEventMailDrop>, both "plain" (events only) and via lleventcoro.h synchronization.
2020-03-25DRTVWR-476: Validate LLEventPumpOrPumpName replyPumpNat Goodspeed
passed to postAndSuspendsetup(). The requestPump is optional, and the function varies its behavior depending on whether that parameter is empty or meaningful. But it unconditionally uses the replyPump. Passing an empty LLEventPumpOrPumpName caused mysterious crashes. Add llassert_always_msg() to make the coding error explicit in such a case. Also streamline access to meaningful requestPump and replyPump by temporarily caching the bound LLEventPump reference.
2020-03-25DRTVWR-476: Remove special case for listen(boost::bind(weak_ptr)).Nat Goodspeed
LLEventDetail::visit_and_connect() promised special treatment for the specific case when an LLEventPump::listen() listener was composed of (possibly nested) boost::bind() objects storing boost::weak_ptr values -- specifically boost::bind() rather than std::bind or lambdas, specifically boost::weak_ptr rather than std::weak_ptr. Outside of self-tests, it does not appear that anyone actually uses that support. There is good reason not to: it's a silent side effect of a complicated compile-time inspection that could be silently derailed by use of std::bind() or a lambda or a std::weak_ptr. Can you be sure you've engaged that promise? How? A more robust guarantee can be achieved by storing an LLTempBoundConnection in the transient object itself. When the object is destroyed, the listener is disconnected. Normal C++ rules around object destruction guarantee it. This idiom is widely used. There are a couple good reasons to remove the visit_and_connect() machinery: * boost::bind() and boost::weak_ptr do not constitute the wave of the future. Preferring those constructs to lambdas and std::weak_ptr penalizes new code, whether by silently failing or by discouraging use of modern idioms. * The visit_and_connect() machinery was always complicated, and apparently never very robust. Most of its promised features have been commented out over the years. Making the code base simpler, clearer and more maintainable is always a useful effect. LLEventDetail::visit_and_connect() was also used by the four LLNotificationChannelBase::connectMumble() methods. Streamline those as well. Of course, remove related test code.

2020-03-25DRTVWR-476: Add llsd::array() and llsd::map() variadic functions.Nat Goodspeed
llsd::array(), as one might suspect, takes an arbitrary number of arguments of arbitrary convertible types and returns an LLSD::Array constructed from those elements. This supercedes the older LLSDArray class. llsd::map() takes an even number of arguments paired as (LLSD::String, arbitrary convertible type) and returns an LLSD::Map constructed from those (key, value) pairs. This supercedes the older LLSDMap class. These two functions not only have a simpler API -- arbitrary function arguments rather than an (arg list)(arg list) sequence -- but also specifically return a final LLSD object, rather than needing conversion to LLSD from the LLSDArray or LLSDMap object. Also support LLSD == LLSD and LLSD != LLSD comparisons, using llsd_equals() with default exact-float-equality semantics.

2020-03-25DRTVWR-476: Make test program --debug switch work like LOGTEST=DEBUG.Nat Goodspeed
The comments within indra/test/test.cpp promise that --debug is, in fact, like LOGTEST=DEBUG. Until now, that was a lie. LOGTEST=level displayed log output on stderr as well as in testprogram.log, while --debug did not. Add LLError::logToStderr() function, and make initForApplication() (i.e. commonInit()) call that instead of instantiating RecordToStderr inline. Also call it when test.cpp recognizes --debug switch. Remove the mFileRecorder, mFixedBufferRecorder and mFileRecorderFileName members from SettingsConfig. That tactic doesn't scale. Instead, add findRecorder<RECORDER>() and removeRecorder<RECORDER>() template functions to locate (or remove) a RecorderPtr to an object of the specified subclass. Both are based on an underlying findRecorderPos<RECORDER>() template function. Since we never expect to manage more than a handful of RecorderPtrs, and since access to the deleted members is very much application setup rather than any kind of ongoing access, a search loop suffices. logToFile() uses removeRecorder<RecordToFile>() rather than removing mFileRecorder (the only use of mFileRecorder). logToFixedBuffer() uses removeRecorder<RecordToFixedBuffer>() rather than removing mFixedBufferRecorder (the only use of mFixedBufferRecorder). Make RecordToFile store the filename with which it was instantiated. Add a getFilename() method to retrieve it. logFileName() is now based on findRecorder<RecordToFile>() instead of mFileRecorderFileName (the only use of mFileRecorderFileName). Make RecordToStderr::mUseANSI a simple bool rather than a three-state enum, and set it immediately on construction. Apparently the reason it was set lazily was because it consults its own checkANSI() method, and of course 'this' doesn't acquire the leaf class type until the constructor has completed successfully. But since nothing in checkANSI() depends on anything else in RecordToStderr, making it static solves that problem.
2020-03-25DRTVWR-476: Fix overflow case in llcoro::postAndSuspend().Nat Goodspeed
Actually the fix is in postAndSuspendSetup(), which affects postAndSuspend(), postAndSuspendWithTimeout(), suspendUntilEventOnWithTimeout() and suspendUntilEventOn(). By "overflow case" we mean the special circumstance in which: * the LLEventPump in question is an LLEventMailDrop, meaning its listeners eventually expect to see every post()ed value * one of the listeners is supposed to consume those values (has called LLCoros::set_consuming(true)) * post() is called more than once before that listener is resumed. The magic of postAndSuspend() (et al.) is a temporary LLCoros::Promise. The waiting coroutine calls get() on the corresponding Future, causing it to suspend (as promised) until the Promise is fulfilled. With the Boost.Fiber implementation of coroutines, fulfilling the Promise doesn't immediately resume the suspended coroutine -- it merely marks it ready to resume, next time the scheduler gets control. A second post() call before the suspended coroutine is resumed results in a second call to Promise::set_value(). But Promise is a one-shot entity. This results in a promise_already_satisfied exception. Because a second post() call during that time window is perfectly reasonable, we catch that exception and carry on. The tricky part is: when that exception is thrown, what should the listener return? Previously we were returning the listener's current consuming setting, just as when the set_value() call succeeds. But when the LLEventPump is an LLEventMailDrop, and the listener's consuming flag is true, that told LLEventMailDrop::post() that the value got through, and that it needn't bother to save it in its history queue. The net effect was to discard the value. Instead, return the listener's consuming flag only when Promise::set_value() succeeds. When it throws promise_already_satisfied, unconditionally return false. That directs LLEventMailDrop::post() to enqueue the undelivered value so that the *next* suspendUntilEventOn() call can pick it up.

2020-03-25DRTVWR-476: Add Sync class to help with stepwise coroutine tests.Nat Goodspeed
Sync is specifically intended for test programs. It is based on an LLScalarCond<int>. The idea is that each of two coroutines can watch for the other to get a chance to run, indicated by incrementing the wrapped int and notifying the wrapped condition_variable. This is less hand-wavy than calling llcoro::suspend() and hoping that the other routine will have had a chance to run. Use Sync in lleventcoro_test.cpp. Also refactor lleventcoro_test.cpp so that instead of a collection of static data requiring a clear() call at start of each individual test function, the relevant data is all part of the test_data struct common to all test functions. Make the helper coroutine functions members of test_data too. Introduce llcoro::logname(), a convenience function to log the name of the currently executing coroutine or "main" if in the thread's main coroutine.

2020-03-25DRTVWR-476: Remove special llcorehttp test memory manager.Nat Goodspeed
NickyD discovered that the substitute default allocator used for llcorehttp tests was returning badly-aligned storage, which caused access violations on alignment-sensitive data such as std::atomic. Thanks Nicky!! Moreover, the llcorehttp test assertions regarding memory usage, well- intentioned though they are, have been causing us trouble for years. Many have already been disabled. The problem is that use of test_allocator.h affected *everything* defined with that header file's declarations visible. That inevitably included specific functions in other subsystems. Those functions then (unintentionally) consumed the special allocator, throwing off the memory tracking and making certain memory-related assertions consistently fail. This is a particular, observable bad effect of One Definition Rule violations. Within a given program, C++ allows multiple definitions for the same entity, but requires that all such definitions be the same. Partial visibility of the global operator new() and operator delete() overrides meant that some definitions of certain entities used the default global allocator, some used llcorehttp's. There may have been other, more subtle bad effects of these ODR violations. If one wanted to reimplement verification of the memory consumption of llcorehttp classes: * Each llcorehttp class (for which memory tracking was desired) should declare class-specific operator new() and operator delete() methods. Naturally, these would all consume a central llcorehttp-specific allocator, but that allocator should *not* be named global operator new(). * Presumably that would require runtime indirection to allow using the default allocator in production while substituting the special allocator for tests. * Recording and verifying the memory consumption in each test should be performed in the test-object constructor and destructor, rather than being sprinkled throughout the test<n>() methods. * With that mechanism in place, the test object should provide methods to adjust (or entirely disable) memory verification for a particular test. * The test object should also provide a "yes, we're still consuming llcorehttp memory" method to be used for spot checks in the middle of tests -- instead of sprinkling in explicit comparisons as before. * In fact, the llcorehttp test object in each test_*.hpp file should be derived from a central llcorehttp test-object base class providing those methods.
