This is part of parent bug:
Bug #721455 - Obsolete info in license text on multiple modules
and GNOME Goal:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/GnomeGoals/Proposals
* verify all source files to make sure they have a license and a
copyright, and that both are up-to-date
Bug #721565 - License text contains obsolete FSF postal address
The read-only functionality is unused and the readonly parameter is
always false in copy_filesystem() and copy_blocks() methods. This has
been the case since the copy simulation was dropped by commit:
b9b4b2e55d
Remove simulation pass ( read test ) on move
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
The glibmm GSource wrappers have a bug where they do not do
reference counting properly, and have a race condition where
the background thread can try to touch the source after the
main thread has already processed and destroyed it. This
results in writes to freed memory and sometimes this causes
crashes or other erratic behavior. Avoid using the glibmm
wrappers and use glib directly. See bug #561885 for details
of the glibmm bug.
Bug #697727 - Segfault in livecd Gparted v 0.15.0-3 when copying partition
Interested operations can now connect a signal to their OperationDetail
to be notified of a cancelation request. The internal copy/move code
will now cleanly stop on cancelation, allowing the partition to be
rolled back to its previous state. This makes canceling a move
perfectly safe.
After clicking cancel, the button changes to "Force Cancel" and is
disabled for 5 seconds. Operations that are safe to cancel will do so
and those that are not will continue to run. Clicking force cancel
asks operations to cancel, even if doing so is unsafe. For the
internal copy/move algorithm, canceling is always safe because an
error results in a rollback operation. Canceling the rollback is
unsafe. For external commands, filesystem modules may indicate
that the command is safe to cancel or not. Canceled commands will
be terminated with SIGINT.
As a result of the new safe cancel vs force cancel distinction, the
scary warning about cancl causing corruption has been moved to
after clicking the force cancel button.
Part of Bug #601239 - Please allow 'Cancel after current operation'
Have the copy code create a background thread to do the actual copying so
that it won't block the main loop.
