Closes!119 - Tidy-ups for file system interface classes
FileSystem member variables T, N & S are being used like local variables
in many of the file system specific set_used_sectors() methods. They
are only used within each set_used_sectors() call and not used to
represent persistent information of a FileSystem interface class or to
pass information between separate methods. Therefore stop using them
and replace them with local variables instead.
This block of code finds a field in the output and scans the number:
Glib::ustring::size_type index = output.find("Block count:");
if (index >= output.length() ||
sscanf(output.substr(index).c_str(), "Block count: %lld", &T) != 1)
T = -1;
The if statement says "if leading text is not found or scanning the
number fails then assign -1". A sequence of two negatives leading to
assigning an error value is hard to understand. Instead this an
equivalent block from btrfs::set_used_sectors():
long long total_bytes = -1;
Glib::ustring::size_type index = output.find("\ntotal_bytes");
if (index < output.length())
sscanf(output.substr(index).c_str(), "\ntotal_bytes %lld", &total_bytes);
This assigns a default error value and the if statement says "if leading
text found then scan the number". Much simpler to understand.
Therefore change the code around to use this same pattern.
Anchor the leading text matches to the start of a new line in the
output where possible. Just because it's what some of the other file
system's set_used_sectors() methods do (btrfs, reiser4 and xfs) and it
seems like more robust text matching.
Closes!119 - Tidy-ups for file system interface classes
Replace floating point calculation to convert size and space figures
from file system block sized units to sectors with an integer
calculation. Do this for the same reasons discussed in commit "Stop
using floating point calculations in FS resize() methods" earlier in
this patchset. This will limit the largest file system that GParted can
read the usage of to 8 EiB - 1 bytes.
There is still a floating point calculation in btrfs::set_used_sectors()
which is being left because that is apportioning used space figure
between multiple devices.
Closes!119 - Tidy-ups for file system interface classes
A number of the file system specific resize() methods use floating point
calculations to convert from the new partition size in sectors to the
new file system size to be passed to the resize command in bytes or
kibibytes. This is bad because there could be rounding errors
converting from integer to floating point, performing the calculation
and converting back. Replace with integer only multiply and divide
calculations. Integer division always truncates [1] which is exactly
what is needed. The largest integer will be the size of the file system
in bytes held in a signed 64-bit long long, or Sector or Byte_Value
typedef of the same type. This will limit the size that a file system
can be shrunk to, to 8 EiB - 1 byte.

So far GParted includes Google Test 1.8.1 [1], which was the latest

requires C++11 compilation, update to Google Test 1.10.0. Replace the

aesthetic difference. I prefer to avoid macros, so I use 0.
Another problem with NULL is that people sometimes mistakenly
believe that it is different from 0 and/or not an integer. In
pre-standard code, NULL was/is sometimes defined to something
unsuitable and therefore had/has to be avoided. That's less
common these days.
If you have to name the null pointer, call it nullptr; that's
what it's called in C++11. Then, "nullptr" will be a keyword.

All the oldest supported distributions now have versions of GTK C++
libraries which require C++11 compilation, therefore forcing GParted to

checking for gtkmm >= 3.18.0 which requires C++11 compilation... yes
checking whether g++ supports C++11 features with -std=gnu++11... yes
The oldest supported distributions and their versions of GTK C++
libraries and GCC compiler:

Debian 10 3.24.0 2.58.0 2.10.1 4.8.3
RHEL / CentOS 7.9 3.22.2 2.56.0 2.10.0 4.8.5

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS 3.24.2 2.64.2 2.10.2 9.3.0
Technically GCC didn't have full C++11 support until GCC 4.8.1 [6] and
SLES 12 SP5 only has GCC 4.8 (as well as many later versions of GCC).
However which ever version of the GCC compiler is being used to compile
the GTK C++ libraries it must have all the features needed to compile
those libraries.
Simplify the configure script and just always require a C++11 capable
compiler. This also allows the use of C++11 features in the GParted
code.

When blanking of udev rules was first tested [1][2] and added [3] all
the distributions at the time (CentOS 6, Debian 6, Fedora 19,
openSUSE 12.2, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) stored the system default rules in
directory /lib/udev/rules.d. Now most distributions (CentOS Stream 9,
Debian 11, Fedora 38, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, openSUSE Leap 15.4) store the
system default rules in directory /usr/lib/udev/rules.d. Most of these
distributions have a merged /usr file system [4][5] so /lib is a symlink
to /usr/lib and the system default rules can still found using the
original directory. But openSUSE 15.4 doesn't have a merged /usr so the
gparted shell wrapper doesn't find the system default rules in directory
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d and doesn't prevent auto starting of Linux
Software RAID arrays and bcache devices during a storage probe.
An extra consideration is that Alpine Linux 3.17 doesn't have a merged
/usr file system, but has both /lib/udev/rules.d and
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d directories with different rules files. Therefore
fix this by checking for system default udev rules in both directories.

Debian installations, at least on PC hardware and using BIOS booting so
they don't have a /boot/efi file system, only have a single file system,
/ (root). That is now excluded from masking so gparted shell wrapper
runs systemctl without any mount units to mask. Hence the error.
# systemctl --runtime mask --quiet --
Too few arguments.
# echo $?

Fix this by only masking and unmasking units when the list of mounts
is non-empty.
Closes!116 - Systemd mount masking and udev rule location updates
Masking the root file system (-.mount) unit lead to a Debian package
upgrade failing as reported here [1]. This was fixed in systemd 245
[2][3] by not allowing perpetual units to be masked. As the root file
system can't be mounted or unmounted while GParted is running, it
doesn't need to be prevented by masking the unit. Therefore stop
masking the root file system mount unit.

According to repology.org only RHEL / CentOS 8 (and clones) and Fedora
29 shipped with systemd 239 [4].
Fix by detecting non-zero exit status from systemctl and falling back to
directly removing the runtime mount unit mask files instead. Then have
to use systemctl daemon-reload to inform systemd to reload it's
configuration from disk to discover the masks have been removed.

GParted crashes when blkid doesn't provide the UUID of the exfat

blkid doesn't report UUID if the serial number is 0000-0000 (a.k.a.
0x0).

As blkid doesn't report exfat UUID 0000-0000 FS_Info cache can't report

executed:
# tune.exfat -i /dev/loop0
exfatprogs version : 1.1.3

And exfat::serial_to_blkid_uuid() is called with "0x0", which causes a

specifically shorter than 8 hexadecimal digits.

get_text() only performs const access on the ProgressBar object so
return the member string by constant reference.
Previously done for other string returning getters, even though the
value is assigned to a variable and doesn't save anything:
1f6e81295b
Return constant reference from OperationDetail::get_description() (!94)
The only use of the reference returned from
OperationDetail::get_progressbar() is to call const methods
ProgressBar::running(), ::get_fraction() and ::get_text(). Therefore
make OperationDetail::get_progressbar() return a const reference.
As described in the previous commit "Clear progress bar text when
starting the bar (#230)" progress bar data is either reporting bytes
copied or fraction complete. The bytes copied case gets in progress
text like this:
544.00 MiB of 1.00 GiB copied (00:00:11 remaining)
But the fraction complete gets no text.
Now also generate time remaining text for progress bars only reporting
fraction complete. As with the bytes copied text only add the time
remaining estimate after 5 seconds have passed. Looks like:
(00:01:59 remaining)
This is most useful for NTFS partition copy and resize operations which
can take a while depending on the amount of data involved.
