Remove unused members: fraction and progress_text from the
OperationDetail class now that the ProgressBar class has superseded
their use. This also allows removal of timer_global member from the
copy_blocks class. Timer_global was only used to track the elapsed time
copying blocks and allow the remaining time to be estimated and written
into progress_text. The ProgressBar class also does this itself
internally.
Bug 760709 - Add progress bars to XFS and EXT2/3/4 file system specific
copy methods
Most of the file system specific command progress trackers followed this
pattern:
void {CLASS}::{NAME}_progress( OperationDetail *operationdetail )
{
ProgressBar & progressbar = operationdetail->get_progressbar();
// parse output for progress and target values
if ( // have progress and target values )
{
if ( ! progressbar.running() )
progressbar.start( target );
progressbar.update( progress );
operationdetail->signal_update( *operationdetail );
}
else if ( // found progress finished )
{
if ( progressbar.running() )
progressbar.stop();
operationdetail->signal_update( *operationdetail );
}
}
That is a lot of repetition handling progress bar updates and
OperationDetail object update signalling. Remove the need for direct
access to the single ProgressBar object and provide these two
OperationDetail methods instead:
// Start and update in one
run_progressbar( progress, target, optional text_mode );
stop_progressbar();
Now the file system specific command progress trackers can become:
void {CLASS}::{NAME}_progress( OperationDetail *operationdetail )
{
// parse output for progress and target values
if ( // have progress and target values )
{
operationdetail->run_progressbar( progress, target );
}
else if ( // found progress finished )
{
operationdetail->stop_progressbar();
}
}
Make ProgressBar::get_progressbar() a private method to enforce use of
the new way to access the progress bar via the run_progress() and
stop_progressbar() methods. Then make the Dialog_Progress a friend
class to OperationDetail so that the Apply pending operations dialog can
still access the single ProgressBar object for its querying needs.
Bug 760709 - Add progress bars to XFS and EXT2/3/4 file system specific
copy methods
1) Multiple progress bars
The OperationDetail class contains member fraction which is used to feed
data to the current operation progress bar shown in the Applying pending
operations dialog. Dialog_Progress::on_signal_update() gets called for
every updated OperationDetail object and depending on whether fraction
is > 0.0 or not, switches between showing a growing or pulsing progress
bar. This leads to the conclusion that every OperationDetail object
currently being updated is effectively driving the single on screen
progress bar with different data.
The Copy_Blocks code is careful to update text and faction in a single
OperationDetail object and everything is good. The on screen progress
bar is switched into growing mode and then grows to 100%.
Since external command output is updated in real time [1] there are two
OperationDetail objects, one for stdout and one for stderr, which are
updated whenever data is read from the relevant stream. Also now that
progress is interpreted from some external command output [2][3][4] a
separate OperationDetail object is getting updated with the progress
fraction. (Actually the grandparent OperationDetail of the ones
receiving stdout and stderr updates as used by the file system specific
*_progress() methods). In the normal case of an external command
which is reporting it's progress two OperationDetails are constantly
being updated together, the OperationDetail object tracking stdout and
it's grandparent receiving progress fraction updates. This causes the
the code in Dialog_Progress::on_signal_update() to constantly switch
between growing and pulsing progress bar mode. The only reason this
doesn't flash the progress bar is because the stdout OperationDetail
object is updated first and before the 100 ms timeout fires to pulse the
bar, it's grandparent is updated with the new fraction to keep growing
the bar instead.
2) Common code
The Copy_Blocks code currently tracks the progress of blocks copied
against target amount, which it has to do anyway. That information is
then used to generate the text and fraction to update into the
OperationDetail object and drive the on screen progress bar. This same
level of tracking is wanted for the XFS and ext2/3/4 file system
specific copy methods.
Conclusion and solution
Having multiple sources of progress bar data is a problem and makes it
clear that there must be only one source of progress data. Also some
code can be shared for tracking the amount of blocks copied and
generating the display.
Therefore have a single ProgressBar object which is used everywhere.
This commit
It just creates a single ProgressBar object which is available via all
OperationDetail objects and Copy_Blocks is updated accordingly. Note
that the ProgressBar still contains debugging and that the GUI progress
bar of the current operation is still driven via the fraction member in
any OperationDetail object.

Bug 760709 - Add progress bars to XFS and EXT2/3/4 file system specific
copy methods
OperationDetail was storing its children in a std::vector. This means they
can be moved around in memory arbitrarily, going through indeterminate
lifetimes. This is generally a bad thing for any non trivial object and
in the case of OperationDetail, it created havoc with the way it maintains
pointers between parent/child objects for signal connections. It will now
keep only pointers to children in a std::vector instead, so their lifetime
can be controlled, fixing various crashes.

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:

#define GPARTED_FILE_NAME_H
...
#endif /* GPARTED_FILE_NAME_H */
Closes Bug #539297 - Make include guards unique
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.

STATUS_EXECUTE and STATUS_[ERROR|SUCCES]
* include/Dialog_Progress.h,

While executing an operation we collect all libparted exceptions in
a list and attach this list to the operationdetails when everything
is done.
