* POSIX: Rewrite IPC's interaction with FileDescriptoragl@chromium.org2009-03-051-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The FileDescriptor API is clearly too hard to use. It's the only IPC data type which is non-POD and serialising an invalid file descriptor is fatal to Chrome on POSIX. The use of Maybe is possibly non-obvious to non-functional programmers. This patch merges Maybe and FileDescriptor so that serialising invalid file descriptors is permitted and results in -1 at the other end. (Serialising /closed/ a file descriptor is still fatal.) Also, it adds a pointer in base/file_descriptor.h to instructions for its use with IPC. Although it's generally bad practice to mention IPC in base, in this case I cannot find another suitable location.

* POSIX: Transfer network data using shared memoryagl@chromium.org2009-02-111-0/+32
This patch adds the long planned support for sharing memory on POSIX by transporting file descriptors. It largely builds on the shared memory cleanup work by jrg. We move FileDescriptor out of chrome/common/file_descriptor_posix.h and into base/file_descriptor_posix.h. Since all that's left in the chrome/common verion is the DescriptorSet, those files are renamed to descriptor_set.[h|cc]. The SharedMemoryHandle on POSIX then becomes a typedef to a FileDescriptor and thus can be serialised over IPC. After that, it's mostly a case of cleaning up those snippets of code which considered SharedMemoryHandles to be scaler values.
