Subject: [RFC] nconf bug fixes and improvements
bug fixes:
1) char dialog_input_result[256]; is not enough for config item like:
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="iwlwifi-100-5.ucode iwlwifi-1000-3.ucode
iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode
iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode iwlwifi-5150-2.ucode iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode
iwlwifi-6000g2a-5.ucode iwlwifi-6000g2b-5.ucode iwlwifi-6050-4.ucode
iwlwifi-6050-5.ucode radeon/CEDAR_me.bin radeon/CEDAR_pfp.bin
radeon/CEDAR_rlc.bin radeon/CYPRESS_me.bin radeon/CYPRESS_pfp.bin
radeon/CYPRESS_rlc.bin radeon/JUNIPER_me.bin radeon/JUNIPER_pfp.bin
radeon/JUNIPER_rlc.bin radeon/R600_rlc.bin radeon/R700_rlc.bin
radeon/REDWOOD_me.bin radeon/REDWOOD_pfp.bin radeon/REDWOOD_rlc.bin"
the original nconf just stack overflow / crashed when dealing with
longer than 256 bytes strings; Since the original menuconfig also just
uses a fixed length buffer [MAX_LEN=2048] which works for the years,
here I just append a 0 make it work in the easiest way; if required,
it could also be changed to a dynamically allocated buffer;
char dialog_input_result[MAX_LEN + 1];
2) memmove's 3rd argument should be len-cursor_position+1, the
original len+1 may cause segment fault in theory;
memmove(&result[cursor_position+1],
&result[cursor_position],
- len+1);
+ len-cursor_position+1);
3) typo:
- mvprintw(0, 0, "unknow key: %d\n", res);
+ mvprintw(0, 0, "unknown key: %d\n", res);
improvement:
1) its original conf_string doesn't work with longer string values
(longer than its dialog box width), not at all
(or may work in an invisible way if anyone has tried that)
Here I added a new variable cursor_form_win to record that new state:
cursor of the input box; and make it fun:
when you move cursor to almost left/right edge, it auto adjust text
to center, by half prompt box width;
2) Remove KEY_UP as RIGHT and KEY_DOWN as LEFT,
Add Home/End to locate the string begin/end;
Emacs-like key bind (C-a/C-e as Home/End, C-f/C-b as forward/backward);
this keybind I'd like but may be controversial, it could be
discussed and separated;
This is just [Request for Comments], it just works here on one of my
distributor kernels,
if anyone may think it's useful, please feedback and I would like to
split it into
patch series and rebase to linus latest branch;
Thanks,
