The patch that implements (a) splits audioc.c so that code that can be shared with para_gui goes to the new audioc_common.c. The next few preparatory patches on top of that rig up struct gui_theme to give each theme full control over the top window, paving the way for (b). * t/gui: web: Add/replace gui screenshots. gui: Remove the "version" command. gui: Rename curses windows. gui: New theme: figlet. gui: Remove two confusing local variables of init_wins(). gui: Introduce ->print_status_items() of struct gui_theme. gui: Require ncurses. gui: Inline clear_all_items(). gui: Avoid the para_audioc process. gui/audiod: Replace for_each_stat_item() by parse_status_items(). gui: Don't request a minimal delay when an external command is running. 2026-07-15T14:22:20Z Andre Noll maan@tuebingen.mpg.de 2026-07-15T14:21:49Z urn:sha1:a0c1a2d01439a2a031ce9aeaf764fbe4d21c1bb7 Improved test suite ------------------- The test suite has become a little dusty, so here are a few cleanups, one of which re-enables unrestricted parallel builds. * t/test-lib: test: Change suffix of test scripts to .bash. test: Rename makefile.test. test: Use bash case modification. test: Simplify color output. test: Replace echo by printf. test: Remove unused --immediate and --long. test: Trivial coding style cleanups. 2026-07-14T18:11:18Z Andre Noll maan@tuebingen.mpg.de 2026-05-26T21:31:29Z urn:sha1:3f0ad7aef67b6707f52c71931186ab0b20865a1a This changes gui.c to no longer spawn a para_audioc process to get the status items from para_audiod. Instead, the para_gui process connects directly to audiod using the same mechanism as para_audioc. Besides being more efficient, this approach has the advantage that status item updates are now atomic in the sense that complete sideband packages (containing any number of status items) are received, so torn status items can no longer occur. To implement this, move the code that can be shared between gui and audioc to a separate file, audioc_common.c. This file contains only one public function: connect_audiod(). Since this function uses unix socket magic and employs the sideband API, para_gui needs to link in net.o and sideband.o, in addition to the new audioc_common.o. With these changes in place, para_gui's --stat-command option becomes unused. Drop it, as it's not worth the pain to introduce a depreciation period. On the other hand, para_gui now needs an option to specify the path to the socket on which para_audiod is expected to listen, so move the lopsub stanza of para_audioc's --socket option to the new socket.m4 file and include it from both the audioc and the gui lopsub suites. 2026-07-03T18:09:01Z Andre Noll maan@tuebingen.mpg.de 2026-06-23T16:56:10Z urn:sha1:54913d5ab2ba7d0b9f56ce2752a6e36e4fb030dc The lopsub and the bison makefiles which are included from Makefile.real are simply called "makefile", so let's be consistent. 2026-06-28T16:28:45Z Andre Noll maan@tuebingen.mpg.de 2026-06-12T21:04:41Z urn:sha1:63bc2e922714a5806245413c35f9fa8ba4ec0b8c This variable used to contain additional flags to enable additional gcc warnings on Linux, but these days the variable just accumulates options which are then used on any OS. Avoid the misnomer by renaming the variable to XCFLAGS, in analogy to the existing XCPPFLAGS. 2026-06-28T16:28:45Z Andre Noll maan@tuebingen.mpg.de 2026-06-12T20:58:16Z urn:sha1:f23af60a28827d4d95cc0d98c9f35a0d69bde3c4 Treat this variable in the same way as we handle CFLAGS: Use an internal variable to assemble the flags, then pass both the internal variable and $(CPPFLAGS) to the compiler, in this order. Define the new XCPPFLAGS as a simply expanded make(1) variable, because this should be faster. 2026-06-28T16:28:45Z Andre Noll maan@tuebingen.mpg.de 2026-06-12T20:51:56Z urn:sha1:f7639378ac37401bc3a6b2afabfeb6e65b9fcbd6 We have STRICT_CFLAGS (which is a misnomer, and the variable will be renamed later in this series) to incrementally assemble the C flags, then pass $(STRICT_CFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) to the compiler so that the user can overwrite our choices by setting CFLAGS. 2026-06-28T16:28:45Z Andre Noll maan@tuebingen.mpg.de 2026-05-31T19:50:42Z urn:sha1:9528d39b5e0ae41bf803df22e3056d0285f77e67 This innocent looking change made a huge difference on one system with ccache enabled, where the running time of make clean; make -j > /dev/null went down from 11s to 2s. The reason for this speedup are the three $(cc-option) calls, Before, we ran the compiler three times per .c file, just to set STRICT_CFLAGS. Now we run it three times per make invocation. 2026-05-24T18:52:28Z Andre Noll maan@tuebingen.mpg.de 2026-05-23T20:54:00Z urn:sha1:7736983e1807653817e224b1649a5326decf31bc None of the four char arrays are C strings, and they are not supposed to be passed to functions like strcpy() which look for the first NUL byte. The nonstring attribute tells the compiler about this fact. Without it, gcc-16 complains, suggesting to annotate the affected variables with __attribute__ ((nonstring)). Unfortunately, at least clang-19.1.7 does not know this attribute and issues a warning, so we check at compile time whether $(CC) supports it and define __nonstring accordingly. 2026-04-21T21:38:31Z Andre Noll maan@tuebingen.mpg.de 2026-04-07T21:02:30Z urn:sha1:9cc3c507a5206d306005bf4988a8351ec75daa0f Combine two short lines, and remove a space between the target and the colon that separates targets from prerequisites.
