* New save/load mutex strategyLars Henriksen2018-10-211-39/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A complete save or reload operation is made up of several cooperating lower level function calls. In stead of protecting the lower level read or write calls on the data files, the entire save or load operation is protected in order to ensure its integrity. Thus mutex protection has been moved from the level: io_load_data(), io_merge_data(), new_data(), to two functions at the higher level: io_save_cal(), io_reload_data(). The protection includes pre- and post-hooks. The function io_load_data() needs no protection when calcurse starts up (threads not yet started) or runs in non-interactive mode (no threads involved).

* Periodic save mutexLars Henriksen2018-10-211-2/+6

* Distinguish between interactive and periodic saveLars Henriksen2018-10-211-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | A new argument to io_save_cal() makes it possible for the periodic save thread to avoid 1) user interaction and 2) overwriting new data. At the moment the thread has no way to report on the result of the save. Signed-off-by: Lars Henriksen <LarsHenriksen@get2net.dk> Signed-off-by: Lukas Fleischer <lfleischer@calcurse.org>
* Data save and removal of the progress barLars Henriksen2018-10-211-117/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function io_save_cal() saves apts, todos, configuration data and key bindings. The configuration and key files do not belong with the two data files, but the progress bar function assumes that all four files are saved in a fixed sequence. Since it is used nowhere else and contains unused parts, the function has been removed. A return code for file access error is introduced, and the EXIT macro moved to the command level in calcurse.c. Save of configuration and key data were already moved to the configuration menu in commit 0124618, A save refinement: no action if everything is unchanged.

* Move user information after save/reload to the command levelLars Henriksen2018-10-211-34/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Moving user information to calcurse.c makes it easier to perform the actual save/reload operatons in io.c, e.g. it is possible to load instead of reload after a merge in conflict resolving. The save/reload operations are of such importance that the user should always be informed of the result (it's a bit disquieting when there is no reaction to a save or reload command). Hence, the save/reload status messages are no longer conditioned by show_dialogs(). No confirmation is asked for, so a message stays until the status bar is updated by another action. Care is taken to inform about save/reload actions that result in no change. Texts are kept concise because of the limited message area. When conflicts are present, whether saving or reloading, the "continue/merge/cancel" pattern seems easier to grasp.

* A save refinement: no action if everything is unchangedLars Henriksen2018-10-211-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | A reload action will do nothing if in-memory data as well as data files are unchanged. This commit accomplishes the equivalent for a save action. Because saving of configuration data and key bindings are mixed up with saving of data files, any changes in those will only be saved if data files also have changed. Hence, configuration data and key bindings are also saved upon exit from the configuration menu.

* Only reload if data files were changed (replacement)Lars Henriksen2018-10-211-36/+59
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a replacement for commits 57dd3d6 and 912124b. The idea is to move the check for modified files and the list initialization into io_load_data(), and let io_load_data() decide what to load. A new argument is used to force a load. The return code from new_data() (the renamed version of io_check_data_files_modified()) tells which files have changed.

* Reload data after resolving save conflict (improved)Lars Henriksen2018-10-211-29/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After resolving a save conflict with the merge tool, a save operation has, in effect, occurred, and data files must be reloaded to import the result of the conflict resolution. This is a replacement for commit 2fe9c7e. The operations concerned with the user interface are kept out the io-operations (as in all other cases) and take place at the command-level in calcurse.c. and not at the io-level (io.c). Shorter, more concise prompt texts. Signed-off-by: Lars Henriksen <LarsHenriksen@get2net.dk> Signed-off-by: Lukas Fleischer <lfleischer@calcurse.org>
* Handling of modified flagLars Henriksen2018-10-211-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | The flag modified (io.c) keeps track of the memory state of data: modified == 0: unchanged since load or last save modified == 1: changed since load or last save It is now unset in io_load_data() and io_save_cal() only.

* Stop/start the notify main thread at the right levelLars Henriksen2018-10-211-7/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The thread is stopped/started in wins_prepare/unprepare_external() when hooks are run. There is no need to do it in io_reload_data(). In fact, because of the nested calls notify_stop_main_thread() <--- io_reload_data() ... notify_stop_main_thread() <--- hook/wins_prepare_external() ... notify_start_main_thread() <--- hook/wins_unprepare_external() ... notify_start_main_thread() <--- io_reload_data() the thread has been running after the first hook anyway.

* Fix window update after hook executionLars Henriksen2018-10-211-11/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The introduction of hooks raised a problem with window updates. The diagnosis in commit feb059e8 (Fix segmentation fault on reload with pre-load hook) was right, the cure was wrong. The problem is wins_update(), not the listbox contents. The wins_update() call does not belong in wins_unprepare_external() (or in io_reload_data()), but at a higher level. It should be called _after_ reload, as indeed it is in key_generic_reload() when the listbox contents have been updated (todo as well as appointments). The call was introduced in commit 8ae75f3 without comment. The todo updates in io_reload_data() also belong in key_generic_reload() where they were before commit 7f06c252. When saving data, all panels must be updated in case a hook was executed. Signed-off-by: Lars Henriksen <LarsHenriksen@get2net.dk> Signed-off-by: Lukas Fleischer <lfleischer@calcurse.org>

* Solve deadlock in notification barLars Henriksen2018-07-281-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | calcurse deadlocks when 1) an upcoming appointment is on display in the notification bar, 2) an external command (like help) is started, 3) the time for the upcoming appointment arrives, and 4) the external command is exited. The notification bar thread is stopped while the external command is running. Upon exit from the external command, the n-bar thread is restarted and calcurse locks. The cause is the way in which the main notification bar thread is stopped: static pthread_t notify_t_main; void notify_stop_main_thread(void) { if (notify_t_main) { pthread_cancel(notify_t_main); pthread_join(notify_t_main, NULL); } } Objects of type pthread_t are opaque and should not be accessed directly. Initially notify_t_main is an uninitialised static variable (0), but later it has a value, which may or may not be the thread id of the notification main thread. Note that the thread id after exit of a thread may become the thread id of a new thread. Thus the variable set when the thread is created, is invalid after exit of the thread. Specifically, the first time notify_stop_main_thread() is called (by notify_start_main_thread() before the thread is created) is harmless (because notify_t_main is 0). Calling notify_stop_main_thread() later may be either OK because the main thread is running, or harmless because no thread with id notify_t_main is running: the two functions will fail with return value ESRCH (no such process), or fatal because an unrelated thread with this thread id is running: it will be cancelled, and the join may or may not succeed depending on whether the thread is joinable or detached. The "unrelated thread" could be the next-appointment thread, notify_thread_app, launched by notify_check_next_app(). Always calling notify_stop_main_thread() before starting the main thread becomes fatal when notify_check_next_app() is called shortly before notify_start_main_thread(). This is the case in the scenario described. The next-app-thread is then running when notify_stop_main_thread() is called, and apparently it has the thread id of the old main thread (confirmed by logging the return values from pthread_cancel() and pthread_join(); the first succeeds while the second fails with EINVALID which means that the thread is not joinable). The next-app-thread will therefore exit without unlocking mutexes. Ensure that notify_t_main, in case the notify main thread is not running, has a value that it will never have when it is running. A possibility is the thread id of the main() calcurse process (returned by pthread_self()). Check for this condition in notify_stop_main_thread() and set notify_t_main when the thread is stopped. Similar changes have been introduced for the periodic save thread and the calendar date thread.

| | | | | | | | | | | We need to manually force a reinitialization of the todo item list box before reloading the items. Otherwise, the list box contains dangling references to the linked list of todo items which has already been cleared at this point.
