I'd like some names to be more descriptive, but to work with 15 chars
limit we have to make some sacrifice.
Also because of the limit, remove the `mpv/` prefix and prioritize
actuall thread name.
since i was going to fix the include order of stdatomic, might as well
sort the surrouding includes in accordance with the project's coding
style.
some headers can sometime require specific include order. standard
library headers usually don't. but mpv might "hack into" the standard
headers (e.g pthreads) so that complicates things a bit more.
hopefully nothing breaks. if it does, the style guide is to blame.
replace it with <stdatomic.h> and replace the mp_atomic_* typedefs with
explicit _Atomic qualified types.
also add missing config.h includes on some files.
The timestamps when making a log file is actually dependent on
MP_START_TIME. This is a 10 microsecond offset that was added to the
timer as an offset. With the nanosecond change, this unit needs to be
converted as well so the offset is the same as before. After doing that,
we need to change the various mp_time_us calls in msg to mp_time_ns and
do the right conversion. This fixes the logs timestamps (i.e. so they
aren't negative anymore).
mpv has a convention of printing everything to stdout. The reasons for
this are pretty unclear and in certain situations rather unintuitive. It
leads to some bad behavior in fringe cases with encoding mode and isn't
the norm for programs so just adjust it so warnings and up are printed
to stderr. Fixes#8608.
Previously, if log-file was set not via a CLI option (e.g. set via
mpv.conf or other config file, or set from a script init phase),
then meaningful early log messages were thrown away because the log
file name was unknown initially.
Such early log messages include the command line arguments, any
options set from mpv.conf, and possibly more.
Now we store up to 5000 early messages before the log file name is
known, and flush them once/if it becomes known, or destroy this
buffer once mpv init is complete.
The implementation is similar and adjacent, but not identical, to an
existing early log system for mpv clients which request a log buffer.
In debug mode the macro causes an assertion failure.
In release mode it works differently and tells the compiler that it can
assume the codepath will never execute. For this reason I was conversative
in replacing it, e.g. in mpv-internal code that exhausts all valid values
of an enum or when a condition is clear from directly preceding code.
if log-file and really-quiet options were used together it could lead to
a completely empty log-file. this is unexpected because we need the
log-file option to work in all cases and produces at least a log of
verbosity -v -v. this is a regression of commit
a600d152d2
move the really quiet check back up, so it's set before the evaluation
of the actual log level, where check for log file, terminal, etc take
place.
This simply printf()s a concatenation of the provided string and the
relevant escape sequences. No idea what exactly defines this escape
sequence (is it just a xterm thing that is now supported relatively
widely?), and this simply uses information provided on the linked github
issue.
Not much of an advantage over --term-status-msg, though at least this
can have a lower update frequency. Also I may consider setting a default
value, and then it shouldn't conflict with the status message.

Sometimes it's helpful to override this for specific mp_log instances,
because in some specific circumstances you just want to suppress log
file noise you never want to see.
-1 is an allowed value (for suppressing MSGL_FATAL==0). It looks like
the libplacebo wrapper still does this wrong, so it will probably
trigger UB in some cases. I guess I don't care, though.
This is a central lock (that is to stay and has no reason to go away),
and it was simply made global. This reduces complexity when the original
MPlayer code was changed from single thread + global state to a context
handle.
Having the global lock was still a bit silly if there were multiple mpv
instances in the process, because it would make the instances wait for
each other for no reason. So move it to the per-instance context, which
is trivial enough.
The wakeup_log_file callback was still assuming that mp_msg_lock was
used to control the log file thread, but this changed while I was
writing this code, and forgot to update it. (It doesn't change any
state, which is untypical for condition variable usage. The state that
is changed is protected by another lock instead. But log_file_lock still
needs to be acquired to ensure the signal isn't sent while the thread is
right before the pthread_cond_wait() call, when the lock is held, but
the signal would still be lost.)
Because the buffer's wakeup callback now acquires the lock, the wakeup
callback must be called outside of the buffer lock, to keep the lock
order (log_file_lock > mp_log_buffer.lock). Fortunately, the wakeup
callback is immutable, or we would have needed another dumb leaf lock.
mp_msg_has_log_file() made a similar outdated assumption. But now access
to the log_file field is much trickier; just define that it's only to be
called from the thread that manages the msg state. (The calling code
could also just check whether the log-file option changed instead, but
currently that would be slightly more messy.)
Until now --log-file performed a blocking write to the log file, which
made any calling thread block for I/O. It even explicitly flushed after
every line (to make it tail-able, or to ensure a hard crash wouldn't
lose any of the output). This wasn't so good, because it could cause
real playback problems, which made it infeasible to enable it by
default.
Try to buffer it through a ring buffer and a thread. There's no other
choice but to use a thread, since async I/O on files is generally a big
and unportable pain. (We very much prefer portable pain.) Fortunately,
there's already a ring buffer (mp_log_buffer, normally for the client
API logging hook). This still involves some pretty messy locking. Give
each mp_log_buffer its own lock to make this easier.
This still makes calling threads block if the log buffer is full (unlike
with client API log buffers, which just drop messages). I don't want log
messages to get lost for this purpose. This also made locking pretty
complicated (without it, mp_log_buffer wouldn't have needed its own
lock). Maybe I'll remove this blocking again when it turns out to be
nonsense.
(We could avoid wasting an entire thread by "reusing" some other thread.
E.g. pick some otherwise not real time thread, and make it react to the
log buffer's wakeup callback. But let's not. It's complicated to abuse
random threads for this. It'd also raise locking complexity, because we
still want it to block on a full buffer.)
console.lua uses "terminal-default" logging, which is supposed to return
all messages logged to the terminal to the API. Internally, this is
translated to MP_LOG_BUFFER_MSGL_TERM, which is MSGL_MAX+1, because it's
not an actual log level (blame C for not having proper sum types or
something).
Unfortunately, this unintentionally raised the internal log level to
MSGL_MAX+1. It still functioned as intended, because log messages were
simply filtered at a "later" point. But it led to every message being
formatted even if not needed. More importantly, it made mp_msg_test()
pointless (code calls this to avoid logging in "expensive" cases and if
the messages would just get discarded). Also, this broke libplacebo
logging, because the code to map the log messages did not expect a level
higher than MSGL_MAX (mp_msg_level() returned MSGL_MAX+1 too).
Fix this by not letting the dummy level value be used as log level.
Messages at terminal log level will always make it to the inner log
message dispatcher function (i.e. mp_msg_va() will call
write_msg_to_buffers()), so log buffers which use the dummy log level
don't need to adjust the actual log level at all.
It did that because there was no other way. It used a lock-free ring
buffer, which does not support this. Use a "manual" ring buffer with
explicit locks instead, and drop messages from the start.
(We could have continued to use mp_ring, but it was already too late,
and although mp_ring is fine, using it for types other than bytes looked
awkward, and writing a ring buffer yet again seemed nicer. At least it's
not C++, where mp_ring would have been a template, and everything would
have looked like shit soup no matter what.)
In the referenced commit, I forgot about this part, and a client which
tried to use this was actually not woken up when needed.
(Also why the hell does the subject line of that commit say "removed"?)

As preparation for making repl.lua part of the core (maybe), add some
mechanisms which are supposed to improve its behavior.
Add a silent mode. Calling mpv_request_log_messages() with the log level
name prefixed with "silent:" will disable logging from the API user's
perspective. But it will keep the log buffer, and record new messages,
without returning them to the user. If logging is enabled again by
requesting the same log level without "silent:" prefix, the buffered log
messages are returned to the user at once. This is not documented,
because it's far too messy and special as that I'd want anyone to rely
on this behavior, but it will be perfectly fine for an internal script.
Another thing is that we record early startup messages. The goal is to
make the repl.lua script show option and config parsing file errors.
This works only with the special "terminal-default" log level.
In addition, reduce the "terminal-default" capacity to only 100 log
messages. If this is going to be enabled by default, it shouldn't use
too much resources.
Before this commit, the status line used terminal control codes only if
stderr was a terminal. I'm not sure why this was done, and git blame
tracks it back to a huge commit by me, which changed all of the terminal
handling.
A user complained, so just stop treating this specially for no reason.
Fixes: #6617
This commit rips out the entire mpv vulkan implementation in favor of
exposing lightweight wrappers on top of libplacebo instead, which
provides much of the same except in a more up-to-date and polished form.
This (finally) unifies the code base between mpv and libplacebo, which
is something I've been hoping to do for a long time.
Note: The ra_pl wrappers are abstract enough from the actual libplacebo
device type that we can in theory re-use them for other devices like
d3d11 or even opengl in the future, so I moved them to a separate
directory for the time being. However, the rest of the code is still
vulkan-specific, so I've kept the "vulkan" naming and file paths, rather
than introducing a new `--gpu-api` type. (Which would have been ended up
with significantly more code duplicaiton)
Plus, the code and functionality is similar enough that for most users
this should just be a straight-up drop-in replacement.
Note: This commit excludes some changes; specifically, the updates to
context_win and hwdec_cuda are deferred to separate commits for
authorship reasons.
This was always a legacy thing. Remove it by applying an orgy of
mp_get_config_group() calls, and sometimes m_config_cache_alloc() or
mp_read_option_raw().
win32 changes untested.
But --msg-level can only raise the log level used for --log-file,
because the original idea with --log-file was that it'd log verbose
messages to disk even if terminal logging is lower than -v or fully
disabled.
See "Copyright" file for caveats.
This changes the remaining "almost LGPL" files to LGPL, because we think
that the conditions the author set for these was finally fulfilled.
This was especially grating because it causes problems with the
option/property unification, uses as only thing OPT_FLAG_STORE, and
behaves weird with the client API or scripts.
It can be reimplemented in a much simpler way, although it needs
slightly more code. (Simpler because less special cases.)
If --log-file was used in config files, this could be missing due to the
exact timing when the messages are print, and when the options are
applied. Fix this by always dumping the version again when a log file is
opened.
msg.c is "partial" due to "michael", whose work can be changed to LGPL
only once the core is LGPL. It's explained in the Copyright file. I
prefer to do the relicensing incrementally (due to the overwhelming
workload). Changing the license before that happens would be legally
questionable, but nothing can stop us from essentially marking it as
"will be LGPL".
All authors have agreed to LGPL, with the following exceptions:
9df11ee8bf: the author (probably) didn't agree, but the line that is
added is later fully removed.
35e90f1556: was not asked, but all iconv code was 100% removed from the
mp_msg mechanism (we alwas require UTF-8 now).
4e4f3f806e: the change by michael.
50a86fcc34: the identify variable was move, and completely removed the
latest in commit 48bd03dd91.
1f6c494641: did not agree, but due to a major mp_msg change the added
line became unnecessary and was removed.
da63498bf9: was not reachable, but the MPlayer GUI is gone from mpv
anyway (also commit fc4d6e617d removed these specific additions a long
time ago).
We'd like to get log messages on the output as soon as possible in the
output. I also feel like using fflush() is nicer than using setvbuf().
Who knows how the latter behaves on win32.
Seems like a valid use-case. Not sure if I like it calling back into the
config code. Care has to be taken for not letting the config path
resolving code dead-lock (which is why locking details in the msg.c code
are changed).
Fixes#3591.
The goal is reducing log messups (which happen surprisingly often) by
buffering partial lines in mp_log. This is still not 100% reliable, but
better.
The extrabuffers for MSGL_STATUS and MSGL_STATS are not needed anymore,
because a separate mp_log instance can be used if problems really occur.
Also, give up, and replace the snprintf acrobatics with bstr.
mp_log.partial has a quite subtle problem wrt. talloc: talloc parents
can not be used, because there's no lock around the internal talloc
structures associated with mp_log. Thus it has to be freed manually,
even if this happens through a talloc destructor.
Until now, a rather large stack buffer was used for this, and also a
static buffer in mp_log_root. The latter was added to buffer partial
lines, and the stack buffer was used only for MSGL_STATUS and MSGL_STATS
(I guess because these are the most likely/severe to clash with partial
line buffering).
Make the buffer in mp_log_root dynamically sized, so we don't get cut
off log lines if the text is excessively large. (The OpenGL extension
list dumped by vo_opengl is such an example.)
Since we still have to support partial line buffering (FFmpeg's log
callbacks leave no other choice), keep the stack buffer. But make it
smaller; there's no way all ~6KB are going to be needed in any
situation.
Client API users can enable log output with mpv_request_log_messages().
But you can enable only a single log level. This is normally enough, but
the --msg-level option (which controls the terminal log level) provides
more flexibility. Due to internal complexity, it would be hard to
provide the same flexibility for each client API handle. But there's a
simple way to achieve basically the same thing: add an option that sends
log messages to the API handle, which would also be printed to the
terminal as by --msg-level.
The only change is that we don't disable this logic if the terminal is
disabled. Instead we check for this before the message is output, which
in theory can lower performance if messages are being spammed. It could
be handled with some more effort, but the gain would be negligible.
This was traditionally needed to silence terminal output from errors
during command line parsing preparsing. Preparsing is done so that
options controlling the terminal and config files are parsed and applied
first, with a second command line parsing pass applying all other
options, _and_ printing error messages for the preparsed ones.
But the hack silencing log output during the preparse pass is actually
not needed anymore, since the terminal is enabled only after preparsing
is finished. update_logging() in main.c does this.
So as long as update_logging() is called before
m_config_preparse_command_line(), this will work.
