This adds optional display list support to lws_display, using DLOs (Display
List Objects). DLOs for rectangle / rounded rectangle (with circle as the
degenerate case), PNGs, JPEG and compressed, antialiased bitmapped fonts
and text primitives are provided.
Logical DLOs are instantiated on heap and listed into an lws_display_list
owner, DLOs handle attributes like position, bounding box, colour +
opacity, and local error diffusion backing buffer.
When the display list is complete, it can be rasterized a line at a time,
with scoped error diffusion resolved, such that no allocation for the
framebuffer is required at any point. DLOs are freed as the rasterization
moves beyond their bounding box.
Adds a platform registry binding names and other metadata to lws_display
fonts / PNGs / JPEGs. Provides registration, destruction and best match
selection apis.
Add a rewritten version of upng that decodes statefully line by line, and so
does not require a bitmap buffer for the output. This compares to original
upng approach that needs heap allocations for the input, the whole output
and intermediate allocations.
Instead of buffers for input, decompression and output, it only allocates
2 x lines of RGBA pixels (ie, a few KB), and 32KB of decompressed data for
backward references in the decoder, and decodes as needed into the 2-line
buffer to produce line rasterized results. For a 600px width PNG, this is
just 40KB heap for the duration.
This provides very memory-efficient CBOR stream parsing
and writing.
The parser converts pieces of CBOR into callbacks that define
the structure and collate string and blobs into buffer chunks
for extensible and easy access.
It is fragementation-safe and does not need all the CBOR in
the same place at one time, chunks of CBOR are parsed and
discarded as provided.
It does not allocate and just needs a few hundred bytes of
stack for even huge CBOR objects. Huge strings and blobs
are handled without needing memory to hold them atomically.
Includes ./minimal-examples/api-tests/api-test-lecp that
unit tests it against 82 official example CBORs and
26 additional test vectors from COSE (just checking the CBOR
parsing).
The writing apis allow printf style semantics with a variety
of CBOR-aware %-formats. The apis write into a context that
manages output buffer usage, if the output buffer fills,
then the apis return with an AGAIN code that lets you issue
and reset the output buffer and repeat the api all to issue
more output. The subsequent calls can occur much later or
from a different function context, so this is perfect for
WRITEABLE-mediated output from the network parts of lws.
See ./READMEs/README.cbor-lecp.md
Add support for dynamically determining the CAs needed to validate server
certificates. This allows you to avoid instantiating > 120 X.509 trusted
CA certs and have them take up heap the whole time.
Works for both openssl and mbedtls.
See READMEs/README.jit-trust.md for the documentation
You likely want the next patch for http redirect enhancements as well.
This adds the option to have lws do its own dns resolution on
the event loop, without blocking. Existing implementations get
the name resolution done by the libc, which is blocking. In
the case you are opening client connections but need to carefully
manage latency, another connection opening and doing the name
resolution becomes a big problem.
Currently it supports
- ipv4 / A records
- ipv6 / AAAA records
- ipv4-over-ipv6 ::ffff:1.2.3.4 A record promotion for ipv6
- only one server supported over UDP :53
- nameserver discovery on linux, windows, freertos
It also has some nice advantages
- lws-style paranoid response parsing
- random unique tid generation to increase difficulty of poisoning
- it's really integrated with the lws event loop, it does not spawn
threads or use the libc resolver, and of course no blocking at all
- platform-specific server address capturing (from /etc/resolv.conf
on linux, windows apis on windows)
- it has LRU caching
- piggybacking (multiple requests before the first completes go on
a list on the first request, not spawn multiple requests)
- observes TTL in cache
- TTL and timeout use lws_sul timers on the event loop
- ipv6 pieces only built if cmake LWS_IPV6 enabled
This makes a start on the LibWebSockets WebServer.
The app cmake build support and JSON config parsing are implemented and
the app can start, create the vhosts, listen and serve file:// mounts on
them.
