Bug 756035 - GParted does not compile with newer gtkmm libraries in
Fedora 23
Since this commit earlier in the patchset the second optional parameter
of method Win_GParted::Add_Operation() is no longer used. Remove it.
Replace open coded merge of resize/move into create operation
(#755214)
Bug 755214 - Refactor operation merging
Creation of the various operations involved various implicit rules about
how the different types of operations were merged in different cases.
This was open coded in each ::activate_*() method. Abstract this into
new merge_operations() method and make the merging rules explicitly
specified.
NOTE:
The removal of operation type checking in the MERGE_LAST_WITH_ANY cases
is not a problem because all the Operation*::merge_operations() methods
ensure the operation types match as part of the merge attempt.
Bug 755214 - Refactor operation merging
Rename Win_GParted::Merge_Operations() to merge_two_operations(). To
reflect what it does and in preparation for further refactoring of the
code.
Be more strict on the validation of the first and second indexes. The
first operation must also be before the second operation in the
operation[] vector. (It is actually a programming bug if first and
second fail validation. However so far g_assert() is only being used to
validate pointers, which if wrong would likely cause the program to
eventually crash when dereferenced later. In this case a bug would
merely cause the incorrectly specified pair of operations to not be
merged).
Move validate_display_partition_ptr() declaration in the header file to
be in the same ordering as it's definition in the source file.
Bug 755214 - Refactor operation merging
As previous commit, display_partitions is now a Win_GParted member
variable so checking for the existence of an extended partition can be
localised where it is used.
Remove index_extended member variable and localise the same checking in
activate_new().
Now that display_partitions is a Win_GParted member variable and
therefore available throughout the class, since commit [1], calculation
of primary_count can be localised in max_amount_prim_reached() where it
is used.
Implements a FIXME and removes primary_count as a member variable.

Move vector of partition objects to a Win_GParted class member (#750168)
Further ensure that a bug doesn't get introduced with the use of
selected_partition_ptr, by asserting that it points to a current
partition object in the vector of display partitions.
After deliberately breaking the code so that selected_partition_ptr
points to some other partition object, trying to display the Information
dialog causes this crash:
======================
libparted : 2.4

ERROR:Win_GParted.cc:989:void GParted::Win_GParted::set_valid_operations(): assertion failed: (valid_display_partition_ptr( selected_partition_ptr ))

Bug 750168 - Reduce the amount of copying of partition objects
Now that TreeView_Details and DrawingAreaVisualDisk classes store and
pass pointers to partition objects in the Gtk signal callbacks, change
the selected partition into a pointer too.
Bug 750168 - Reduce the amount of copying of partition objects
Change from passing a reference to the selected partition, to passing a
pointer to the selected partition in the signal_partition_selected
callbacks between the disk graphic, partition list and core GUI modules.
This is an enabler for the following patches.
Bug 750168 - Reduce the amount of copying of partition objects
Win_GParted::Refresh_Visual() used a local variable containing a copy of
the vector of partitions in the current device to be displayed. After
visually applying pending operations it loaded copies of each partition
object into the GUI widgets to display the disk graphic and partition
list, DrawingAreaVisualDisk and TreeView_Details classes respectively.
When a partition is selected in the UI, again a partition object is
copied. Also several of the partition dialogs, including the
information dialog, take a copy of the partition object. All these are
copies of the same set of partition objects, those currently being
displayed in the UI.
Move the vector of displayed partitions from a local variable in
Refresh_Visual() to a Win_GParted member variable. This will allow for
the above cases to be changed to used pointers and references to the
same set of partition objects.
The valid lifetime of pointers to elements in this partition object
vector is from one refresh to the next, when the vector is cleared and
repopulated with a new set of partition objects. This is exactly what
is needed as the GUI widgets are reloaded on each refresh, the selected
partition is reset and none of the partition dialog objects exist.
Dialog objects being created and destroyed on each use.
On the other hand some copies of partition objects currently being
displayed, still need to be made because they have lifetimes which need
to last longer than the next call to Refresh_Visual(). Specifically the
source of the copy partition and the partition objects copied into the
in the list of pending operations.
Bug 750168 - Reduce the amount of copying of partition objects
Embedded devices (Android) use GPT partition names to identify
partitions, instead of file system labels. Add support for viewing and
changing them.
As partition names are used to provide unique identification they are
never copied when copying the contents of one partition to another.
Note that GNU/Linux uses file system labels, UUIDs or device names for
identification during the boot process and afterwards so while partition
names can be used, they are optional and purely for user information.
Bug 741424 - Add support for GPT partition names
The device combobox was getting drawn blank, then getting drawn again
with the selected device. This was happening because at the start of
Win_GParted::refresh_combo_devices() the GTK model behind the combobox,
liststore_devices, was cleared, changing the active item, causing the
combobox to get redrawn empty. After the GTK model had been repopulated
the active item was reset causing the comboxbox to get redrawn again,
now showing the selected device. Call flow:
Win_GParted::refresh_combo_devices()
liststore_devices->clear()
//Gtk::Combobox emits signal_change. Registered callbacks
//called.
Win_GParted::combo_devices_changed()
Win_GParted::Refresh_Visual()
...
...
combo_devices.set_active(current_device);
//Gtk::Combobox emits signal_change. Registered callbacks
//called.
Win_GParted::combo_devices_changed()
Win_GParted::Refresh_Visual()
...
This has always been the case, since the device combobox was first added
to GParted before version 0.1 by commit:
3a4b43e0ad
replaced deprecated OptionMenu with ComboBox ...
Fix by temporarily blocking the devices comboxbox from emitting
signal_changed while the GTK model behind the combobox is recreated.
However, since automatic selection of the largest free space was added
[1] in GParted 0.15.0, a more noticeable flashing redraw issue was
caused in which the partition graphic and partition list were both drawn
blank then redrawn fully populated. Some distributions were not
affected by this at all, some only experienced a single flash and others
suffered from two or more flashing redraws. Some affected
distributions: CentOS 5.10, 6.5, 7.0, Debian 6, Fedora 14, 19, 20,
Ubuntu 13.10, Xubuntu 14.04 LTS. Did not occur on Kubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Include guards need to be unique within GParted code and all included
library header files.

Closes Bug #539297 - Make include guards unique
It was possible to make GParted crash by adding a label, check or new
UUID operation and then applying the operation before the view of
pending operations had finished fully opening. The operation would be
successfully applied but GParted would crash afterwards.
The fault was that Add_Operation() still enabled the Undo and Apply
buttons and processed the GTK event loop before merging the list of
pending operations. Faulty code flow went like this:
activate_*()
Add_Operation()
Add operation to the operations[] vector
Enable Undo and Apply buttons
Refresh_Visual()
Process GTK event loop
Process Apply button callback applying operations,
refreshing display and clearing operations[] vector
Merge operations in the operations[] vector
<< Core dump here >>
Merge_Operations()
Refresh_Visual()
This faulty code flow came about when merging of operations was added
and it didn't appreciate that the operations[] vector could have been
processed and cleared by Add_Operations() before the merge step.
Relevant commit:

Merge overlapping operations (#438573)
Fragment of code in the label operation case:
2454 void Win_GParted::activate_label_partition()
2455 {
...
2472 Add_Operation( operation ) ;
2473
2474 // Verify if the two operations can be merged
2475 for ( unsigned int t = 0 ; t < operations .size() - 1 ; t++ )
2476 {
2477 if ( operations[ t ] ->type == OPERATION_LABEL_PARTITION )
2478 {
2479 if ( Merge_Operations( t, operations .size() - 1 ) )
2480 break;
2481 }
2482 }
Commentary in the crashing label operation case:
2472 The pending operation was already applied when Add_Operation()
returned resulting in the operations[] vector being cleared
setting its size to 0.
2475 The return type of operations.size() is an unsigned integral, so
the upper limit of the for loop is t < 0UL - 1. Assuming a
32-bit machine that's t < 4294967295.
2477 operations[] vector is access from out of bounds offset 0
upwards until unallocated memory is accessed resulting in a core
dump.
Fix this by not enabling the Undo and Apply buttons and processing the
GTK event loop until after merging of operations has been performed.
Fixed code flow goes like this:
activate_*()
Add_Operation()
Add operation to the operations[] vector
Merge operations in the operations[] vector
Merge_Operations()
show_operationslist()
Enable Undo and Apply buttons
Refresh_Visual()
Process GTK event loop
Process Apply button callback applying operations,
refreshing display and clearing operations[] vector
Not allowing the operations list to be process until after the merge
step is the be correct ordering. This also prevents the new operation
from flashing up in the operations list and then immediately
disappearing if merged. In the case of adding the first operation,
delaying enabling the Undo and Apply buttons is enough as the buttons
were previously disabled preventing the operation being applied before
the merge. In the case of adding further operations, processing of the
GTK event loop must also be delayed until after the merge to prevent the
operations being applied before the merge. Although that window of
opportunity would only be microseconds.

fully displayed

Bug #688882 - Improve clearing of file system signatures
Win_Gparted and Dialog_Progress were creating threads to perform most
functions in the background. Most of the time, the only reason the
threads blocked was to execute an external command. The external command
execution has been changed to spawn the command asynchronously and wait
for completion with a nested main loop. While waiting for completion,
the pipe output is captured via events. In the future, this will allow
for it to be parsed in real time to obtain progress information.
Those tasks in GParted_Core that still block now spawn a background thread
and wait for it to complete with a nested main loop to avoid hanging the
gui.
Part of Bug #685740 - Refactor to use asynchronous command execution
Win_Gparted and Dialog_Progress were looping on Gtk::Main::events_pending()
and iteration() with usleeps in between. Use a full mainloop instead and
a proper timeout to trigger pulsebar updates instead of usleeps.

Rename functions and a variable to use a generic term for the menu item
which changes the busy state of partitions now that it also activates
and deactivates LVM2 Physical Volumes as well as mounting and unmounting
file systems and enables and disables swap partitions.
When attempting to delete a non-empty LVM2 Physical Volume (one which is
still a member of a Volume Group) display a warning dialog which
includes the VG name and a list of the PV members to allow the user to
make an informed choice whether to go ahead and perform the deletion or
cancel to the operation. This dialog is displayed when a partition
containing a PV is being deleted or being overwritten by being
reformatted or pasted into.
Bug #670171 - Add LVM PV read-write support
In the Partition menu enable activation / deactivation of the LVM2
Volume Group of which the Physical Volume is a member.

Add the ability to set a new random UUID on file systems that provide
the appropriate tools to perform this action.
Update the help manual to include this new functionality. Also add
reference links to "setting a partition label" and "changing a

This patch does not include setting the UUID on an NTFS file system.

Bug #608308 - fix documentation - Copying and Pasting a Partition
When a new operation is added to operations list, check if a merge
is possible depending on the operation type:
OPERATION_RESIZE_MOVE: 2 consecutive "resize" operations on the
same partition
OPERATION_LABEL_PARTITION: 2 "label change" operations (need not be
consecutive) on the same partition
OPERATION_CHECK: 2 "check" operations (need not be
consecutive) on the same partition
OPERATION_FORMAT: 2 consecutive "format" operations on the
same partition

Also fix a bug when copying partition using the Partition::Set(...)
method. This method did not initialize "sectors_used" and

Improve the feedback to the user when creating or pasting a
partition on a device with no partition table found.
Prior to this enhancement if a user tried to create or paste a
partition onto a device with no partition table found, GParted
would present the user with a Create Partition Table dialog.
When creating a new partition this could cause confusion for
users who were trying to format the disk. The user could
mistakenly believe the choice of an MS-DOS file system was being
presented.
Similarly on a paste operation it could be confusing to be
presented with a dialog to create a partition table without any
explanation of why a partition table was suddenly required in the
midst of the paste operation.
Neither the new partition creation, nor the partition paste
actions were performed after the Create Partition Table dialog
was displayed.
