For Windows 10, it so happens that the major.minor is 10.0. This is not
usually a given, e.g. on Windows 7 where it would read 6.1, on
Windows 8 it would read 6.2, and on Windows 8.1 it would read 6.3.
This is obviously undesirable, so we should just read the ProductName
from registry if possible. This results in something like:
OS Name: Windows 10 Pro for Workstations (Build: 19043)
When our window is destroyed, our timers are also destroyed. This causes our
attempt at destruction to fail. Instead, set MessageHWND to NULL in the
WM_DESTROY handler and don't try destroying the timers if the window is gone.
DestroyWindow can only be invoked on the thread that created the window.
All other threads must use WM_CLOSE or another message to signal tell the
window to destroy itself.
This function is available since Windows Vista and can therefore be used
directly without going through GetProcAddress. Unfortunately, MinGW does
not have d3dkmthk.h, but we can declare the prototype ourselves and link
against gdi32.dll.
This allows the process to be terminated without resorting to
TerminateProcess. With some fixes, this allows the notification icon to be
removed when the service is restarted.
Furthermore, instead of sending WM_DESTROY to fool the window into believing
it's being destroyed, we actually call DestroyWindow now.
Testing shows that `D3DKMTSetProcessSchedulingPriorityClass` has a
positive performance impact for NvFBC as well as DXGI, as such always
try to boost the priority for the windows host.
People often miss the warnings about invalid arguments in their command
line, this last minute patch attempts to address this by making
warnings, errors, fixme's and fatal errors stand out if stdout is a TTY.
One of the most common issues reported in the support channels is the
IVSHMEM size being too small. This change adds a calculation to
determine an optimal size and uses the new `os_showMessage` platform
method to display a message box to the user with the error.
Instead of doing ShellExecute from the service, we instead get the token
of the currently logged in user, and do CreateProcessAsUserA to run
notepad with that token. This should be safe.
This will allow us to add an option to disable the screensaver on the client
when an application in the guest requests it. This behaviour may be useful
when the guest is doing media playback.
Instead of using %windir%\Temp, which is not accessible by default and
contains a lot of unrelated files, as the location for our log files,
this commit moves it to %ProgramData%\Looking Glass (host), which will
be a dedicated directory just for the LG host log files. This applies
to both the host application logs and the service logs.
Also, we now switched to using PathCombineA from shlwapi.dll instead
of using snprintf, which greatly simplifies the code. PathCombineA
guarantees that the path would not overflow a buffer of MAX_PATH.
This makes it a compile-time error to call a function that semantically
takes no parameters with a nonzero number of arguments.
Previously, such code would still compile, but risk blowing up the stack
if a compiler chose to use something other than caller-cleanup calling
conventions.
Now that it's recommended to run LG as the `SYSTEM` user, launching an
application to read the log file is dangerous as it will be launched
with the same access rights (`SYSTEM`). Instead so as Microsoft
recommends and only present a message box with the information.
Experimental, use at your own peril!
This commit adds the ability for the LG host to install and launch with
Windows as a system service.
To install simply run `looking-glass-host.exe InstallService` or
conversely to uninstall `looking-glass-host.exe UninstallService`.
