2012-03-19qemu-ga: for w32, fix leaked handle ov.hEvent in ga_channel_write()Jeff Cody1-0/+4
In the function ga_channel_write(), the handle ov.hEvent is created by the call to CreateEvent(). However, the handle is not closed prior to the function return. This patch closes the handle before the return of the function. Kudos to Paolo Bonzini for spotting this bug.

2012-02-23qemu-ga: add initial win32 supportMichael Roth1-0/+340
This adds a win32 channel implementation that makes qemu-ga functional on Windows using virtio-serial (unix-listen/isa-serial not currently implemented). Unlike with the posix implementation, we do not use GIOChannel for the following reasons: - glib calls stat() on an fd to check whether S_IFCHR is set, which is the case for virtio-serial on win32. Because of that, a one-time check to determine whether the channel is readable is done by making a call to PeekConsoleInput(), which reports the underlying handle is not a valid console handle, and thus we can never read from the channel. - if one goes as far as to "trick" glib into thinking it is a normal file descripter, the buffering is done in such a way that data written to the output stream will subsequently result in that same data being read back as if it were input, causing an error loop. furthermore, a forced flush of the channel only moves the data into a secondary buffer managed by glib, so there's no way to prevent output from getting read back as input. The implementation here ties into the glib main loop by implementing a custom GSource that continually submits asynchronous/overlapped I/O to fill an GAChannel-managed read buffer, and tells glib to poll the corresponding event handle for a completion whenever there is no data/RPC in the read buffer to notify the main application about.
