Design overview: For each watch request, we launch a separate worker thread. The worker thread runs the watch_worker function, which issues an asynchronous call to ReadDirectoryChangesW, and then calls WaitForSingleObjectEx to wait that an event be signaled to terminate the thread. Waiting with WaitForSingleObjectEx puts the thread in an "alertable" state, so it wakes up when either (a) the call to ReadDirectoryChangesW completes, or (b) the main thread instructs the worker thread to terminate by signaling an event, see below. When the ReadDirectoryChangesW call completes, its completion routine watch_completion is automatically called. watch_completion stashes the received file events in a linked list used to communicate them to the main thread (using a critical section, so that several threads could alter the same linked list), posts a special message, WM_EMACS_FILENOTIFY, to the Emacs's message queue, and returns. That causes the WaitForSingleObjectEx function call inside watch_worker to return, but the thread won't terminate until the event telling to do so will be signaled. The completion routine issued another call to ReadDirectoryChangesW as quickly as possible. (Except when it does not, see below.) In a GUI session, the WM_EMACS_FILENOTIFY message posted to the message queue gets dispatched to the main Emacs window procedure, which queues it for processing by w32_read_socket. When w32_read_socket sees this message, it accesses the linked list with file notifications (using a critical section), extracts the information, converts it to a series of FILE_NOTIFY_EVENT events, and stuffs them into the input event queue to be processed by keyboard.c input machinery (read_char via a call to kbd_buffer_get_event). In a non-GUI session, we send the WM_EMACS_FILENOTIFY message to the main (a.k.a. "Lisp") thread instead, since there are no window procedures in console programs. That message wakes up MsgWaitForMultipleObjects inside sys_select, which then signals to its caller that some keyboard input is available. This causes w32_console_read_socket to be called, which accesses the linked list with file notifications and stuffs them into the input event queue for keyboard.c to process. When the FILE_NOTIFY_EVENT event is processed by keyboard.c's kbd_buffer_get_event, it is converted to a Lispy event that can be bound to a command. The default binding is file-notify-handle-event, defined on subr.el. Routines w32_read_socket or w32_console_read_socket process notifications sets as long as some are available. When the watch is removed by a call to w32notify-rm-watch, the main thread requests that the worker thread terminates by signaling the appropriate event and queuing an APC for the worker thread. The APC specifies the watch_end function to be called. watch_end calls CancelIo on the outstanding ReadDirectoryChangesW call. When watch_end returns, the watch_completion function is called one last time with the ERROR_OPERATION_ABORTED status, which causes it to clean up and set a flag telling watch_worker to exit without issuing another ReadDirectoryChangesW call. Since watch_worker is the thread procedure of the worker thread, exiting it causes the thread to exit. The main thread waits for some time for the worker thread to exit, and if it doesn't, terminates it forcibly. */ #define DEFER_MS_W32_H #include #include #include /* Include CRT headers *before* ms-w32.h. */ #include #include #include "lisp.h" #include "w32term.h" /* for enter_crit/leave_crit and WM_EMACS_FILENOTIFY */ #include "w32common.h" /* for OS version data */ #include "w32.h" /* for w32_strerror */ #include "coding.h" #include "keyboard.h" #include "frame.h" /* needed by termhooks.h */ #include "termhooks.h" /* for FILE_NOTIFY_EVENT */ #define DIRWATCH_BUFFER_SIZE 16384 #define DIRWATCH_SIGNATURE 0x01233210 struct notification { BYTE *buf; /* buffer for ReadDirectoryChangesW */ OVERLAPPED *io_info; /* the OVERLAPPED structure for async I/O */ BOOL subtree; /* whether to watch subdirectories */ DWORD filter; /* bit mask for events to watch */ char *watchee; /* the file we are interested in, UTF-8 encoded */ HANDLE dir; /* handle to the watched directory */ HANDLE thr; /* handle to the thread that watches */ HANDLE terminate; /* event signaling the thread to terminate */ unsigned signature; }; /* Used for communicating notifications to the main thread. */ struct notifications_set *notifications_set_head; static Lisp_Object watch_list; /* Signal to the main thread that we have file notifications for it to process. */ static void send_notifications (struct notifications_set *ns) { struct frame *f = SELECTED_FRAME (); /* We add the current notification set to the linked list.
