2024-07-31	libcamera: Avoid variable-length arrays	Laurent Pinchart
	Unlike in C where they have been standardized since C99, variable-length arrays in C++ are an extension supported by gcc and clang. Clang started warning about this with -Wall in version 18: src/libcamera/ipc_unixsocket.cpp:250:11: error: variable length arrays in C++ are a Clang extension [-Werror,-Wvla-cxx-extension] 250 \| char buf[CMSG_SPACE(num * sizeof(uint32_t))]; \| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One simple option is to disable the warning. However, usage of VLAs in C++ is discouraged by some, usually due to security reasons, based on the rationale that developers are often unaware of unintentional use of VLAs and how they may affect the security of the code when the array size is not properly validated. This rationale may sound dubious, as the most commonly proposed fix is to replace VLAs with vectors (or just arrays dynamically allocated with new() wrapped in unique pointers), without adding any size validation. This will not produce much better results. However, keeping the VLA warning and converting the code to dynamic allocation may still be slightly better, as it can prompt developers to notice VLAs and check if size validation is required. For these reasons, convert all VLAs to std::vector. Most of the VLAs don't need extra size validation, as the size is bound through different constraints (e.g. image width for line buffers). An arguable exception may be the buffers in IPCUnixSocket::sendData() and IPCUnixSocket::recvData() as the number of fds is not bound-checked locally, but we will run out of file descriptors before we could overflow the buffer size calculation.

2024-05-08	libcamera: Drop file name from header comment blocks	Laurent Pinchart
	Source files in libcamera start by a comment block header, which includes the file name and a one-line description of the file contents. While the latter is useful to get a quick overview of the file contents at a glance, the former is mostly a source of inconvenience. The name in the comments can easily get out of sync with the file name when files are renamed, and copy & paste during development have often lead to incorrect names being used to start with. Readers of the source code are expected to know which file they're looking it. Drop the file name from the header comment block. The change was generated with the following script: ---------------------------------------- dirs="include/libcamera src test utils" declare -rA patterns=( ['c']=' \* ' ['cpp']=' \* ' ['h']=' \* ' ['py']='# ' ['sh']='# ' ) for ext in ${!patterns[@]} ; do files=$(for dir in $dirs ; do find $dir -name "*.${ext}" ; done) pattern=${patterns[${ext}]} for file in $files ; do name=$(basename ${file}) sed -i "s/^$${pattern}$${name} - /\1/" "$file" done done ---------------------------------------- This misses several files that are out of sync with the comment block header. Those will be addressed separately and manually. Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Scally <dan.scally@ideasonboard.com>
2022-10-24	apps: Share common source between applications	Laurent Pinchart
	Multiple source files in the src/apps/cam/ directory are used by cam, qcam and lc-compliance. They are compiled separately for each application. Move them to a new src/apps/common/ directory and compile them in a static library to decrease the number of compilation operations.
