When you change the filesystem charset, discard the old database file
and create a new one. The old database file will most likely contain
stale or invalid information.
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.
Make the event_pipe (formerly main_notify) send/receive a set of
events, with a callback for each one.
The default event PIPE_EVENT_SIGNAL does not have a callback. It
is still there for waking up the main thread, when it is waiting for
the player thread.
We are going to migrate away from the concept of notifying the main
thread. There should be events sent to it instead. This patch starts
a series to implement that.
The documentation for directory_update_init() was incorrect: a job ID
must be positive, not non-negative. If the update queue is full and
no job was created, it makes more sense to return 0 instead of -1,
because it is more consistent with the return value of isUpdatingDB().
If the user requests database update during startup, call
directory_update_init(). This should be changed to fully asynchronous
update later.
For this to work, main_notify has to be initialized before db_init().
Remove clutter from directory.c. Everything which saves or loads
to/from the hard disk goes to directory_save.c, and code which sends
directory information to the client is moved into directory_print.c.
Taming the directory.c monster, part II: move the database management
stuff to database. directory.c should only contain code which works
on directory objects.
