I’ve added methods for parsing D-BUS Introspection Data. Now you can get informations about available interfaces, methods, signals and properties with the nsIDBusInterface object. In order to test my methods I wrote an dbus-viwer clone in XUL : http://trac.csquad.org/browser/trunk/examples/dbus-viewer Here is a screencast (1 Mo) where you can see dbus-viewer in action. |
Sorry, I did not update my progress since one month.
Here is my current progress on that project :
But I did not release a 0.1 version because my wrapper produce a dead lock :
If you listen for a signal and call a remote method, you program get locked.
This is a common usage of D-BUS and I think that I can’t release my work without it.
This problem is caused by libdbus witch is not threads “aware” and because I don’t have a shared
lock between my threads.
Havoc Pennington explained me howto solve this issue : integrate libdbus inside my mainloop as glib as done :
This integration is hard because D-BUS is using UNIX file handle and NSPR does not provide functions to handle it.
I did not expect so many technical difficulties, but I stay motivated.
I continue to work on my project (after the end of the summer of code) and I will release version 0.1 as soon as the dead lock issue is solved.
Ok, boys and girls, version 0.1 is comming! ;0)
This week I was focused on documentation :
I’ve made progress in the wrapper code :
I will release version 0.1 when I find an issue to the callback problems. (I’d like to see asynchronous call and signals managed by 0.1).
This feature is not well documented, so there is the configuration ligne to add in your /etc/dbus-1/system.conf file :
<listen>tcp:host=localhost,port=12434</listen>
