This is for debugging apps (currently works only in Unix).
What it does: when running an app,
the client does everything except actually fork/exec the app,
i.e. it sets up the slot dir, creates shared mem segment etc.
It then continues as if the app were actually running,
and you can then manually run your app under a debugger
in the slot directory.
Note: the client won't notice the termination of your app.
- API, Unix: in situations where the timer thread wants to exit
(e.g. it notices a missing heartbeat).
don't directly call boinc_exit(),
since this touches data structures that the worker thread
may be using concurrently.
Instead, set a flag telling the worker thread to call boinc_exit()
(which it will do from its signal handler)
This is an attempt to fix problems reported by Bernd;
I haven't tested it.
- scheduler: add config flag for uploading usage data
- web: show account key and weak account key on user page
- added some code for multithread support (not finished)

This was because SIGALRM always interrupts sleep()
and keeps boinc_sleep() stuck in its while loop.
Solution: change boinc_sleep() so that it works even if
rapid signals (e.g. interval timer) are happening
- API: remove deprecated graphics files from Makefile.
Old-style graphics are no longer supported.
- web: add empty show_user_donations_private() to donations.inc

like source code and text files. I skipped to check most files in html/
and mac_*/ though.
- Added svn:executable to tools/watch_tcp because it has a shebang.

NOTE: as of this checkin, applications built with the API
code in the trunk are assumed to do V6-type graphics.
If your app doesn't, then you must set
backwards_compatible_graphics to false
(and use boinc_init_graphics_options())
svn path=/trunk/boinc/; revision=13675
(deciding which app to use, implementing blanking interval, etc.)
This logic is all now in the screensaver itself.
- GUI RPC: removed get/set screensaver mode RPCs
- API: added a "backwards_compatible_graphics" flag to BOINC_OPTIONS.
V6 apps should set this.
If set, the runtime library checks for graphics messages
from the client, and launches/kills the graphics app (if any).
The app will then work graphically with pre-V6 clients.
- removed some old files

- API: Eric Myers reported that my 4 May checkin
(which increased worker thread stack size to the limit
returned by getrlimit())
broke his app on several Linux platforms.
So I added a worker_thread_stack_size element to BOINC_OPTIONS.
If you want an increased stack size, set this.
- web RPC: add <url> and <local_revision> elements to
the XML returned by get_project_config.php
html/user/
sample_get_project_config.php

Functions meant to be used from within C shoud never be
declared bool!
Fix: change boinc_is_standalone() to return int not bool.
Note: some API functions still return bools, but since E@H
doesn't use them and I am afraid of doing damage, I have
left them alone.

(1) apps being suspended would call boinc_finish(nonzero) and
core client would treat this as app failure. Introduce
a new function boinc_exit() and call that instead.
(2) improvements to GUI build with wxWidgets
(3) improved X event handling loop now ensures that X window
is taken away when window killed.
