11 * Implementation of the main program function for the "lastrites.exe"
12 * helper application; also, when included within another compilation
13 * module, which pre-defines IMPLEMENT_INITIATION_RITES, it furnishes
14 * the complementary "pkgInitRites()" and "pkgLastRites()" functions.
16 * The combination of a call to pkgInitRites() at program start-up,
17 * followed by eventual termination by means of an "execl()" call to
18 * invoke "lastrites.exe", equips "mingw-get" with the capability to
19 * work around the MS-Windows limitation which prohibits replacement
20 * of the image files for a running application, and so enables the
21 * "mingw-get" application to upgrade itself.

55 * Typically, errno.h does not define a code for "no error", but
56 * it's convenient for us to have one, so that we may clear "errno"
57 * to ensure that we don't inadvertently react to a stale value.
62 #ifdef IMPLEMENT_INITIATION_RITES
64 * Normally specified by including this source file within another,
65 * with an appropriate prior definition. This indicates intent to
66 * provide an inline implementation of either first or second phase
67 * initiation rites, (mutually exclusively), depending on whether
68 * IMPLEMENT_INITIATION_RITES is defined as PHASE_ONE_RITES, or as
69 * PHASE_TWO_RITES; in either case, the associated code is invoked
70 * via the locally implemented "invoke_rites()" function.
72 # define BEGIN_RITES_IMPLEMENTATION RITES_INLINE void invoke_rites( void )
74 * In this case, since the "invoke_rites()" function has nothing
75 * to return, we declare a "do nothing" wrap-up hook.
77 # define END_RITES_IMPLEMENTATION
79 #else /* ! defined IMPLEMENT_INITIATION_RITES */
81 * This alternative case is normally achieved by free-standing
82 * compilation of rites.c; it implements the "main()" function
83 * for the "lastrites.exe" helper program.
85 # define BEGIN_RITES_IMPLEMENTATION int main()
87 * In this case, we must return an exit code; we simply assume that,
88 * for us. there is no meaningful concept of process failure, so we
89 * always report success.
91 # define END_RITES_IMPLEMENTATION return EXIT_SUCCESS;
94 /* Provide selectors, to discriminate the two distinct classes
95 * of initiation rites implementation, which may be specified as
96 * the requisite form with IMPLEMENT_INITIATION_RITES.
98 #define PHASE_ONE_RITES 1
99 #define PHASE_TWO_RITES 2
101 #if IMPLEMENT_INITIATION_RITES == PHASE_TWO_RITES
103 * For the second phase initiation rites implementation, the
104 * idea is to move the running executable and its associated DLL
105 * out of the way, so that we may install upgraded versions while
106 * the application is still running. Thus, the first step is to
107 * destroy any previously created backup copies of the running
108 * program files which may still exist...
110 # define first_act( SOURCE, BACKUP ) mingw_get_unlink( (BACKUP) )
112 * ...then, we schedule a potential pending removal of these, by
113 * initially renaming them with their designated backup names...
115 # define final_act( SOURCE, BACKUP ) mingw_get_rename( (SOURCE), (BACKUP) )
117 #else /* ! PHASE_TWO_RITES */
119 * In this case, we assume that the originally running process
120 * may have invoked phase two initiation rites, so moving its own
121 * executable and its associated DLL out of the way; we aim to move
122 * them back again, by attempting to change the backup names back
123 * to their original file names...
125 # define first_act( SOURCE, BACKUP ) mingw_get_rename( (BACKUP), (SOURCE) )
127 * We expect the preceding "rename" to succeed; if it didn't, then
128 * the most probable reason is that an upgrade has been installed,
129 * in which case we may remove the obsolete backup versions.
