Include guards need to be unique within GParted code and all included
library header files.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Include_guard#Difficulties
Use this model for all include guards:
#ifndef GPARTED_FILE_NAME_H
#define GPARTED_FILE_NAME_H
...
#endif /* GPARTED_FILE_NAME_H */
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.

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
Move some code into new create_format_menu_add_item() sub-function which
adds one file system entry to the Partition --> Format to -->
(file system list) menu.
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.
Bug #670171 - Add LVM PV read-write support
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
partition UUID" in the "copying and pasting a partition" section.
This patch does not include setting the UUID on an NTFS file system.
Bug #667278 - Add support for setting UUID
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
Closes Bug #438573 - Cancel out overlapping actions
Also fix a bug when copying partition using the Partition::Set(...)
method. This method did not initialize "sectors_used" and
"sectors_unused" members.

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.
