The idea found in the code is any double dollar ($$) is being treated as
explicit dollar sign ($) instead of the start of a text object
reference. Due to missing update of the 's' variable, when creating a
text object for the text following the second dollar sign, the later was
prepended, leading to a double dollar in the output.
Use dynamic allocated memory for skey and svalue,
allocate the length of value so that there are no limits,
but don't use the %a gnu extension to maintain compatibility
Hi Brenden,
Below is an updated patch, it works for me with the master.
p.s: don't forget to use git-am to apply the patch ;p
Signed-off-by: Brenden Matthews <brenden@rty.ca>
This patch is written by a anonymous author, see patch on sf.net
id #2663691 . I changed it a bit so that it can't overwrite
existing environment variables and updated the docs and syntaxfiles
As a side effect, font and colour specific stuff got outsourced, too.
This is because the apropriate functions are used by conky.c as well as
specials.c, so they should be kept on their own.
In the long term I hope for positive impact on the X11 integration mess.
(Take e.g. the mass of X11 ifdefs cluttering conky.c.) Though this
commit contains no optimisations in this direction, just plain
outsourcing, to ensure minimised (intended: none) changes to conky's
interface behaviour.
Since we have no doxygen compatible code comments (we hardly have
comments at all ;) there is not much documentation to be extracted. But
this is still useful, as doxy generates us nice callgraphs showing the
internal code flow chaos. :)
Usage is as follows: after having run ./autogen.sh, doxygen can be
triggered by simply issuing 'make doxy'. This will generate a doxy
config if none exists, and preset some stuff inside (especially
parsing of undocumented stuff). Before all consecutive invocations, the
doxy config (named 'Doxyfile') can be customised to one's personal
needs.
In fact these two objects share a lot of code, so the bigger plan is to
merge them into a single file to share equal code.
This should not change anything to the code flow, besides making conky
startup a bit more robust due to less use of CRIT_ERR.
Well, not really. I don't dare putting it all together into a single
source file, as that would just not make sense. Instead, this patch
eliminates the --enable-smapi configure option and all related checks,
replacing them with the equivalents from --enable-ibm.
Despite this is actually not much code and could stay inside linux.c as
well, this makes sense as I want to combine smapi and ibm-acpi
functionality. Virtually every user of a notebook made by IBM/Lenovo
will want both, so this should be a feature not a bug.
Besides making the ibm-acpi objects being built optionally, this should
not change anything to the code flow.
Instead of using a hardcoded maximum number of slots for
stats of different disks, use a linked list. Also since the algorithm to
update each device's counters is the same for updating the totals, share
equal code, which in my eyes not only saves a bunch of LoC, but also
drastically increases readability.
The segfault can be triggered by using any diskio object with a
non-existent device, as prepare_diskio_stat() then returns 0 and the
call to obj->data.diskio->current in conky.c:4050 pulls the trigger.
In fact, it's not a problem when the device doesn't exist, as
update_diskio() simply won't fill in any values. So skip the check and
upon device node appearance everything goes it's normal way.
While there, also eliminate double readout of the last line of
/proc/diskstats: after the last line has been read, FEOF is not yet set.
BUT fgets() will return NULL when trying to read the next line. So
better check for fgets()'s return value instead of using feof().
Also strncmp() is useless here, since we really want to compare the full
paths. Besides, text_buffer_size also should be big enough to not make a
difference here.
Also, note that free() does not zero the passed pointer. So conditional
freeing always needs to look like this:
| if (var) {
| free(var);
| var = 0;
| }
