Add support for dpkg frontend lock

2018-08-07T13:07:52Z

The dpkg frontend lock is a lock dpkg tries to acquire except if the frontend already acquires it. This fixes a race condition in the install command where the dpkg lock is not held for a short period of time between different dpkg invocations. For this reason we also define an environment variable DPKG_FRONTEND_LOCKED for dpkg invocations so dpkg knows not to try to acquire the frontend lock because it's held by a parent process. We can set DPKG_FRONTEND_LOCKED only if the frontend lock really is held; that is, if our lock count is greater than 0 - otherwise an apt client not using the LockInner family of functions would run dpkg without the frontend lock set, but with DPKG_FRONTEND_LOCKED set. Such a process has a weaker guarantee: Because dpkg would not lock the frontend lock either, the process is prone to the existing races, and, more importantly, so is a new style process. Closes: #869546 [fixups: fix error messages, add public IsLocked() method, and make {Un,}LockInner return an error on !debSystem]

Reformat and sort all includes with clang-format

2017-07-12T11:57:51Z

This makes it easier to see which headers includes what. The changes were done by running git grep -l '#\s*include' \ | grep -E '.(cc|h)$' \ | xargs sed -i -E 's/(^\s*)#(\s*)include/\1#\2 include/' To modify all include lines by adding a space, and then running ./git-clang-format.sh.

Drop cacheiterators.h include

2017-07-12T11:56:05Z

Including cacheiterators.h before pkgcache.h fails because pkgcache.h depends on cacheiterators.h.

provide public interface to hold/unhold packages

2015-11-04T17:04:00Z

We had this code lying around in apt-mark for a while now, but other frontends need this (and similar) functionality as well, so its high time that we provide a public interface in libapt for this stuff.

implement a public pkgSystem::ArchitecturesSupported

implement a public pkgSystem::MultiArchSupported

2015-11-04T14:02:36Z

Some codepaths need to check if the system (in our case usually dpkg) supports MultiArch or not. We had copy-pasted the check so far into these paths, but having it as a system check is better for reusability.

add c++11 override marker to overridden methods

2015-08-10T15:27:17Z

C++11 adds the 'override' specifier to mark that a method is overriding a base class method and error out if not. We hide it in the APT_OVERRIDE macro to ensure that we keep compiling in pre-c++11 standards. Reported-By: clang-modernize -add-override -override-macros Git-Dch: Ignore

make all d-pointer * const pointers

2015-08-10T15:25:25Z

Doing this disables the implicit copy assignment operator (among others) which would cause hovac if used on the classes as it would just copy the pointer, not the data the d-pointer points to. For most of the classes we don't need a copy assignment operator anyway and in many classes it was broken before as many contain a pointer of some sort. Only for our Cacheset Container interfaces we define an explicit copy assignment operator which could later be implemented to copy the data from one d-pointer to the other if we need it.

mark private methods as hidden

2014-09-29T22:15:15Z

We are the only possible users of private methods, so we are also the only users who can potentially export them via using them in inline methods. The point is: We don't need these symbols exported if we don't do this, so marking them as hidden removes some methods from the API without breaking anything as nobody could have used them.
