[fuse-devel] Question about AiffRead (no output: extra logging?).

[Stef B. <st...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm working on a FUSE fs basefs. My aim to test various decoders like
the one you
are using in Aifffffs.

See:

git clone git://gitorious.org/basefs/basefs.git basefs

and

http://linux.bononline.nl/wiki/index.php/Basefs,_a_FUSE_fs_to_test_various_decoders_(Gstreamer,_FLAC)


I've taken the files aiff.c, aiff.h, id3.c and id3.h from your fs, and
written functions
open_virtual, read_virtual, release_virtual and size_virtual, which
call the function
AiffNew, AiffRead, AiffDestroy and AiffSize.

The only change I did was the removal of the lock.

I'm using a "locked" integer, which indicates the decoder is locked.
When a (virual) file is open, the decoder is initialized, and the lock
integer is set from 0 to 1.

This prevents other "open" calls to create another decoders context on
the same file, causing problems.

Now when a read arrives, it finds this lock integer, and it must be 1.
If it is 0, it is not open.
When it's 2, another read is busy, and it's waiting using a condition variable.

When it's 1, it's setting the value to2, and the read is able to get
access to the decoder, and get bytes read.
When ready, it's setting the lock value back again to 1.

Note this is not ready yet, it's not taking into account the serialization.

Now it gives no valid output on the decoded virtual file. Do you maybe
know howto add some more logging?
