gui: Always initialize theme.
parse_config_file_or_die() contains the following bug: If the
configuration file ~/.paraslash/gui.conf does not exist, the current
code not only skips the gengetopt config file parser (which is correct)
but also omits to call theme_init(), which is incorrect.
The bug was introduced recently in commit 18d37e (Unify config
file parsing). Fix it by moving the call to theme_init() to
the bottom of the function so that it is called if and only if
parse_config_file_or_die() succeeds.

gui: Simplify color handling.
Various gui elements of para_gui can be customized through struct
gui_theme. Currently this structure contains two integers for each
each element, one for the foreground and one for the background color
of the element. This is a bit clumsy and repetitive.
This commit cuts down the number of fields of struct gui_theme by
a factor of two by introducing struct gui_color_spec as a pair of
integers.
Andre Noll [Thu, 13 Feb 2014 18:59:49 +0000 (19:59 +0100)]
gui: Dont catch SIGWINCH.
This is unnecessary since the curses library generates a KEY_RESIZE
event on SIGWINCH anyway. Hence window change events can be handled
as well in the normal input processing function. This allows to remove
the SIGWINCH part of the signal handling code.
Another advantage of handling SIGWINCH in the same way as normal
input events is that it is easier to propagate the event. This will
turn out to be useful for the upcoming gui menu changes.

gui: Call waitpid() from exec and status task.
This commit changes signal_post_select() to not call waitpid() via
para_reap_child() any more. Instead it notifies all tasks using the
new error code E_GUI_SIGCHLD. The exec task and the status task honor
this notification and call waitpid() for their "own" pid to check
whether the executing process or the stat process has terminated and
to obtain the exit status.
Although neither task cares deeply about the exit code, the menu
commands, which will be implemented in subsequent patches, will
care. So it's good to have the option to get this information.
Andre Noll [Mon, 6 Jan 2014 20:12:38 +0000 (20:12 +0000)]
gui: Speed up window refresh.
We had way too many calls to wrefresh() which copies the named
window to the physical terminal screen. This slows down the display
considerably, especially on slow machines.
It is more efficient to perform the copy only once per scheduler
iteration. So this commit adds a flag "needs_update" to struct
gui_window, and all callers to wrefresh() are changed to call
refresh_window() instead. This new function is much cheaper since it
only turns on the needs_update flag but does nothing else.
In input_post_select() we check which windows have the flag set and
repaint those windows using wnoutrefresh() and then doupdate(). This
two-step approach is described in the curs_refresh(3X) man page as
more efficient then calling wrefresh() for each window separately
since it avoids alternating calls to wnoutrefresh() and doupdate().

gui: Rename cmd_task to exec_task.
The term "command" currently means either a gui command handler or
the process which is executing as a result of a defined key map. Avoid
this confusion by using the word only for command handlers.
This commit also simplifies exec_cmd() and exec_para() slightly by
moving the "hit any key to abort" message into the common function
exec_and_display().

gui: Move static variables of cmd_post_select() into struct cmd_task.
For the same reason stated in the commit message of the previous patch,
these variables belong to the context structure of the command task,
so move them there.
The COMMAND_BUF_SIZE define had to be moved above the definition of
struct cmd_task since COMMAND_BUF_SIZE uses it.

gui: Move some variables into struct status_task.
pre_select and post_select methods should never define static variables
but store their state in the context structure which also contains
the task structure.
This commit moves the static variables of status_post_select() and the
global variables next_exec and stat_pipe into the context structure
of the status task.

Due to the preparations performed in previous patches, this is a
rather simple change. Note we don't need to define a struct signal_task
since this structure is already defined in signal.h.

gui: Use cpp magic to define command handlers.
This shortens the code a bit and avoids duplications. The command
handler for cancel_scroll had to be renamed from com_cancel_scrolling()
to com_cancel_scroll() since the old name did not match command name.
Andre Noll [Sat, 4 Jan 2014 05:38:23 +0000 (05:38 +0000)]
gui: Execute stat command in status_post_select().
pre_select methods should only deal with fd sets and select timeouts,
so the part of status_pre_select() which restarts the status command
belongs to status_post_select().
Unfortunately, after this change both status_pre_select() and
status_post_select() need to know when to restart the stat command.
Therefore we had to add a new global variable next_exec.
The patch also moves status_pre_select() up so that the two functions
are close to each other.

gui: Rename COMMAND/EXTERNAL/GETCH mode.
This value tells if there is a command executing, and if so, whether
it is an external command or a display command. Hence "cmd_status"
is to be more to the point.
Andre Noll [Sat, 29 Mar 2014 12:48:03 +0000 (13:48 +0100)]
gui: Get rid of do_select()'s mode parameter and call it only once.
The current code calls do_select() from three different locations. The
mode parameter indicates whether a command is currently running
and if it is a display command or an external command (where curses
is disabled). This is unnecessarily complex as we can tell from the
values of the command_fd[] array and the cmd_pid variable which mode
we are in.
This commit introduces get_select_mode() which looks at these variables
and returns the current mode. This allows to get rid of the mode
parameter of do_select() and to call do_select() only once at startup
from main(). It now runs in an endless loop, checking the current mode
in each iteration. The other two call sites, exec_and_display_cmd()
and external_cmd(), don't need to call do_select() any more.
This change removes more lines than it adds and makes the logic
of para_gui much simpler to follow. It is also the last big step
to replace the do_select() loop in favor of the standard paraslash
scheduler.
Andre Noll [Sat, 29 Mar 2014 10:34:02 +0000 (11:34 +0100)]
gui: Reorder functions.
As a preparation for the removal of do_select() we need various
functions of gui.c to be in a different order. Specifically,
input_post_select() will soon call handle_command(), so the latter
function will need to be declared before the former.
Patches which move functions around are generally hard to
read, so this commit performs pure code movement only. However,
as exec_and_display_cmd() still calls do_select() we introduce a
temporary forward declaration for do_select(). It will be removed
in the next patch.

gui: Move signal handling code out of do_select().
As a further preparation for employing the standard paraslash scheduler
within para_gui, this simple patch introduces signal_pre_select()
and renames handle_signal() to signal_post_select().
The signal related part of do_select() is moved to these two functions
so that do_select() is reduced to the bare minimum: one call to each
of the two new functions.

gui: Move external command handling out of do_select().
This commit moves the part of do_select() that deals with
external commands to separate functions, command_pre_select() and
command_post_select().
This change shortens do_select() considerably and is another step
towards the goal of using the paraslash scheduling system also for
para_gui.
One thing to note is that the new command_post_select() returns -1 if
both both fds are closed, i.e. when the currently running command has
terminated. This value gets translated back to zero in do_select(),
preserving the current semantics.

gui: Introduce status_post_select().
This moves stat pipe error handling into read_stat_pipe() and renames
the function to status_post_select(), which is more to the point. It
shortens do_select() a bit.
Since status_post_select() now calls print_all_items() and
clear_all_items() it had to be moved down to avoid a forward
declaration.

gui: Improve config reload.
There are two ways to make para_gui reload its config file: Sending
SIGUSR1 and running the internal reread_conf command. When SIGUSR1
is received, signal_post_select() calls com_reread_conf(). This is
a layer violation since command handlers should only be called from
the input task.
This patch provides the generic function reread_conf() which is called
from both the command handler and from signal_post_select().

gui: Unify config file parsing.
The gui config file is parsed on startup, when the reload command
is executed or when SIGUSR1 is received. In all cases we set up a
gengetopt params structure and pass its address to the gengetopt
command line parser.
This commit moves the common code to the new parse_config_file_or_die()
which does the right thing for both the startup and the reload
case. The new function also contains the logic of configfile_exists(),
so this latter function can be removed.

gui: Remove ->cols and ->lines of struct gui_window.
The curses library provides the getmaxyx() macro to obtain the window
geometry. It's better to use these instead of storing the number of
lines and columns in the gui_window structure because with getmaxyx()
there is no risk to have stale values gui_window structure.
While the ncurses implementation provides getmaxx() and getmaxy()
to get only the number of lines or columns, respectively, only
getmaxyx() is described in the XSI Curses standard. Hence we provide
our own version of the former two functions. These call getmaxyx()
and return one of the two numbers.
With the ->cols and ->lines fields of struct gui_window gone, all
callers had to be adjusted to use either getmaxyx() or one of the
new functions.

There is no point in calling gui_cmdline_parser_ext() when rereading
