Replaced all occurrences of g_error() with MPD_ERROR() located in a new header
file 'mpd_error.h'. This macro uses g_critical() to print the error message
and then exits gracefully in contrast to g_error() which would internally call
abort() to produce a core dump.
The macro name is distinctive and allows to find all places with dubious error
handling. The long-term goal is to get rid of MPD_ERROR() altogether. To
facilitate the eventual removal of this macro it was added in a new header
file rather than to an existing header file.
This fixes#2995 and #3007.
After we've been hit by Large File Support problems several times in
the past week (which only occur on 32 bit platforms, which I don't
have), this is yet another attempt to fix the issue.
The tag_id3.c library supports both the documented "TSO2" tag, and the
inofficial TXXX/ALBUMARTISTSORT.
The Vorbis/FLAC decoder automatically supports the new tag, without
further change.
When a song was in the database twice (which shouldn't happen), and
the first song had no tag items, MPD calledd tag_free(NULL). Add a
check to that source location, and an assertion to tag_free().
This updates the copyright header to all be the same, which is
pretty much an update of where to mail request for a copy of the GPL
and the years of the MPD project. This also puts all committers under
'The Music Player Project' umbrella. These entries should go
individually in the AUTHORS file, for consistancy.
There's no point in declaring num_items as a uint8_t, it doesn't save
any space, due to padding. This allows us to lift the articial "255
items" limitation.
On some platforms, g_free() must be used for memory allocated by
GLib. This patch intends to correct a lot of occurrences, but is
probably not complete.
Added all important id tags from the MusicBrainz wiki:
http://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainzTag
This should automatically enable its suport in the vorbis and flac
decoder plugins.
Added TAG_ITEM_ALBUM_ARTIST.
With this patch, MPD should be able to read the (inofficial)
"ALBUMARTIST" Vorbis comment. Implementations in other decoder
plugins will follow soon.
Don't use g_strescape(), because it escapes all non-ASCII characters.
Add a new function which clears all non-printable characters, not just
"newline".
Seeing the "mpd_" prefix _everywhere_ is mind-numbing as the
mind needs to retrain itself to skip over the first 4 tokens of
a type to get to its meaning. So avoid having extra characters
on my terminal to make it easier to follow code at 2:30 am in
the morning.
Please report any new issues you may come across on Free
toolchains. I realize how difficult it can be to build/maintain
cross-compiling toolchains and I have no intention of forcing
people to upgrade their toolchains to build mpd.
Tested with gcc 2.95.4 and and gcc 4.3.1 on x86-32.
With a large music database, the linear string collection in
tagTracker.c becomes very slow. We implemented that in a
quick'n'dirty fashion when we removed tree.c, and now we rewrite it
using the fast hashed string set.
The tag pool is a shared global resource that is infrequently
modified. However, it can occasionally be modified by several
threads, especially by the metadata_pipe for streaming metadata
(both reading/writing).
The bulk tag_item pool is NOT locked as currently only the
update thread uses it.
Trying to read or remember
"tag->numOfItems * sizeof(*tag->items)"
requires too much thinking and mental effort on my part.
Also, favor "sizeof(struct mpd_tag)" over "sizeof(*tag->items)"
because the former is easier to read and follow, even though
the latter is easier to modify if the items member changes
to a different type.
