From 82423991a8512ab97fbc41d1e190e709c58bc346 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ryan Dwyer Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2018 19:28:53 +1000 Subject: Reload config using idle event This patch makes it so when you run reload, the actual reloading is deferred to the next time the event loop becomes idle. This avoids several use-after-frees and removes the workarounds we have to avoid them. When you run reload, we validate the config before creating the idle event. This is so the reload command will still return an error if there are validation errors. To allow this, load_main_config has been adjusted so it doesn't apply the config if validating is true rather than applying it unconditionally. This also fixes a memory leak in the reload command where if the config failed to load, the bar_ids list would not be freed. --- sway/config.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'sway/config.c') diff --git a/sway/config.c b/sway/config.c index b56c4f71..8f8ed438 100644 --- a/sway/config.c +++ b/sway/config.c @@ -457,6 +457,12 @@ bool load_main_config(const char *file, bool is_active, bool validating) { success = success && load_config(path, config, &config->swaynag_config_errors); + if (validating) { + free_config(config); + config = old_config; + return success; + } + if (is_active) { for (int i = 0; i < config->output_configs->length; i++) { apply_output_config_to_outputs(config->output_configs->items[i]); -- cgit v1.2.3
