…ests Adds a native Linux desktop port, the structural twin of the Windows port: ParparVM "clean" C target with a `linux` app-type, rendering through GTK3/Cairo/Pango/GdkPixbuf, OpenGL ES (EGL) for 3D, GStreamer media/camera, WebKitGTK browser, libsecret/libnotify/GeoClue services, libcurl networking. - ParparVM: @Concrete.linux() selector, `linux` executable CMake target with the GTK link set and .incbin resource embedding. - Ports/LinuxPort: LinuxImplementation + LinuxNative (173 native methods, no stubs) + 15 cn1_linux_*.c native sources. - maven/linux module + LinuxNativeBuilder + CN1BuildMojo local-linux-device. - CI: linux-build-run.yml builds + runs the hellocodenameone screenshot suite on x86_64 and arm64, captured over the cn1ss WebSocket, compared against per-arch baselines (scripts/linux/screenshots[-arm]). - CleanTargetLinuxIntegrationTest drives translate -> native build -> run/capture. - Developer guide chapter: Working-With-Linux.asciidoc. Verified in a Linux container: all native files compile against the real GTK stack; a translated CN1 Form app builds to a native ELF and renders correctly (2D + GLES 3D + bundled icon fonts).

… guide chapter CI: the codenameone maven plugin depends on CEF, which has no linux-arm64 build, so the hellocodenameone suite classes only compile on x64. Split the workflow: a prepare-suite job (x64) builds the plugin + suite classes once and shares them; the build-run matrix then builds only core + the Linux port (which build fine on arm64), translates the shared classes and builds/runs the ELF per arch. This unblocks the arm64 screenshot leg. Docs: rewrite the developer guide chapter to be end-user focused -- expand why we link musl (self-contained, glibc-version-independent binary) vs glibc, add a GTK3-vs-GTK4 section (chose 3 for universal reach), frame cross-compiling as a user capability (arm from x64), document the build hints, and drop the internal testing/status notes.

…uite The hellocodenameone screenshot suite hard-crashed on the native Linux target at test #26 (exit 139), capturing only 25 images. Root-caused and fixed the chain of bugs blocking it; the suite now renders 98-99 of ~100 tests with correct, unique, distinct screenshots matching the Windows goldens. VM runtime (vm/.../nativeMethods.m), shared by all clean-C targets: - java_lang_Float_toStringImpl: replace unsafe sprintf with snprintf and start the digit-reversal at strlen(s) instead of the full 32-byte buffer. The old loop walked uninitialized stack past the formatted string and could push the s2[] index out of bounds (the Double variant was already hardened; Float was not). glibc/musl don't zero that stack region, so it smashed on Linux. - java_lang_Double_toStringImpl: same strlen-bounded reversal for consistency. Linux port native layer (Ports/LinuxPort/nativeSources): - cn1_linux_text.c: read a Java char[] through JAVA_ARRAY_CHAR* (2 bytes), not JAVA_CHAR* (int, 4 bytes) -- the old cast strode 4 bytes and over-read ~2x past every measured char array (the pervasive corruption; ASan heap-buffer-overflow). - cn1_linux_text.c: validate UTF-8 before pango_layout_set_text -- invalid bytes made Pango return 0 width and wedged word-wrap into a non-terminating loop. - cn1_linux_text.c: clamp non-positive derived font sizes (Pango asserts size>=0). - cn1_linux_graphics.c: skip degenerate (w<=0||h<=0) arcs -- cairo_scale(.,0) makes the CTM non-invertible, a sticky error that froze the whole back buffer. - cn1_linux_image.c: same degenerate-scale guard for drawImageScaled. - cn1_linux_window.c: install a POSIX SIGSEGV/SIGBUS -> NullPointerException fault handler (the Win32/iOS analog) so the EDT survives null derefs, plus a SIGABRT backtrace dumper for diagnosing crashes from CI logs. The arraycopy memcpy->memmove fix (also in nativeMethods.m) avoids aarch64 corruption on overlapping ranges (e.g. ArrayList.remove). Known issue (see docs/developer-guide/Working-With-Linux.asciidoc): the dark phase of DarkLightShowcaseThemeScreenshotTest still trips a stack canary during the native-theme refresh. The corruption is masked by ASan/Valgrind/gdb and corrupts return addresses, so it resists remote diagnosis; tracked separately. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

…xes suite deadlock) The hellocodenameone screenshot suite intermittently deadlocked partway through (the apparent stopping point varied -- it is a race). Root cause: ParparVM's concurrent GC sets threadBlockedByGC on each lightweight thread and then spins in codenameOneGCMark waiting for that thread to park (threadActive == JAVA_FALSE) before it can traverse the thread's stack. The Linux blocking-I/O natives parked CN1 threads in raw syscalls without dropping threadActive, so whenever a GC fired while a CN1 thread sat in one of them, the mark phase waited forever and every thread blocked by the GC (notably the EDT, spinning in monitorEnter) hung with it. The trigger in CI is the cn1ss screenshot reader thread parked in socketRead's read() waiting for the server: a GC during that window wedged the whole process. Wrap the blocking calls with CN1_YIELD_THREAD / CN1_RESUME_THREAD, matching every other CN1 port: - cn1_linux_socket.c: socketRead read(), socketWrite write() loop, connect(). - cn1_linux_net.c: curl_easy_perform (the whole blocking HTTP transfer). - cn1_linux_io.c: sleepMillis nanosleep. With this the suite runs to completion -- all 127 screenshots captured through the final test, matching the Windows baseline -- where it previously hung. This was the real cause of the failure earlier mis-attributed to DarkLightShowcase (a buffered- stdout artifact made a far-later deadlock look like a crash on that test); the developer-guide "known limitation" is replaced with a note on this GC invariant.

…r ports TextAreaAlignmentScreenshotTest derives its label/field font from base.getPixelSize() * 0.45f, but a freshly loaded (non-derived) TrueType font has Font.pixelSize == -1 (the "unset/natural" sentinel), so the derived size lands at -0.45 on every platform. The Windows port maps a non-positive derive size to a 15px fallback (px = size > 0 ? size : 15); the Linux port was clamping to 1px instead, which rendered the labels and TextArea contents microscopically (visible as a grid of empty boxes). Match the Windows fallback so the text renders at a readable size. Verified: the screenshot now shows every section label and TextArea body with the correct vertical alignment, matching the Windows baseline.

… clip) setClipShape only kept the path's bounding box, and the per-primitive clip in the graphics/image/text draw paths always applied an axis-aligned screen-space rectangle. So setClip(Shape) -- used by SVG rendering for curved clips -- clipped to a square: the gradient_circle SVG drew as a ring and the clipped_badge SVG was clipped away entirely. Store the real flattened path (curves included) plus the world transform that was active when the clip was set (clipTransform), mirroring the Windows port's clip- geometry model. A new cn1LinuxApplyClip builds and applies that path under the frozen transform -- so a curved clip lands exactly where drawShape would draw the same path, independent of the current drawing transform -- and is shared by the graphics, image (drawImage/drawImageScaled/drawRGB) and text (drawString) paths so every primitive honours the shape clip. setClip/clipRect reset back to the axis- aligned rect (which is pushed under identity, so it stays put under a later rotate/scale). clipX/Y/W/H keep the shape's screen-space bbox for getClip*. Verified against the Windows baseline: SVGStatic's gradient_circle now fills as a disc and the clipped_badge renders; graphics-clip-under-rotation matches.

The developer-guide build gate failed on 10 net-new Vale issues in the new Linux chapter: Microsoft.Contractions (is not/they are/it is/that is -> contractions), first-person plural (We/we), an adverb, a suspended hyphenation, and a first-person 'my'. Reword to satisfy the Microsoft style; vale now reports 0/0/0 for the file. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Golden PNGs for the native Linux GTK3/Cairo screenshot suite, captured from the green build-run jobs on PR #5239 with the shaped-clip + font + GC-yield fixes in place. SVGStatic (gradient_circle fills as a disc, clipped_badge shows the PRO badge), graphics-clip-under-rotation and the rest match the Windows baselines. Seeds scripts/linux/screenshots (x86_64) and scripts/linux/screenshots-arm (arm64) so the compare-comment job has baselines to diff against.

…build The build-run job's capture test, after rendering the cn1ss suite, relinks the same compiled objects into a *windowed* demo ELF: it splices the generated launcher to build and show a Form (title + two labels + a button) and enter the GTK event loop, instead of driving the headless screenshot suite. It's a fast relink (no re-translation), gated on CN1_LINUX_DEMO_OUT and wrapped so it can never fail the suite test. The workflow uploads it as linux-demo-<arch> so the native port can be smoke-tested on a real Linux desktop. Verified locally on arm64 (window opens, Cairo/Pango render the themed Form).

The Post-screenshots-to-PR step ended with '[ "$posted" -eq 0 ] && echo ...'. When screenshots were posted (posted>0, the normal case) the test is false, so the '&&' line returns exit 1 as the script's last command -> the step failed even though all 254 screenshots matched their baselines and both PR comments posted (status=200). Use an if/then/fi so the success path exits 0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The dev-guide build passed Vale but failed the separate LanguageTool gate on 19 matches in the Linux chapter: 18 are technical terms it reads as typos (Pango, musl, glibc, libc, libcurl, libsecret, libnotify, sonames, syscall) -- added to languagetool-accept.txt -- and 1 is EN_A_VS_AN on 'an x64' (technically correct, vowel sound), reworded to 'a build host that itself runs x64' to sidestep it. Verified the accept-list full-match regex accepts all 9 terms. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…trip, split debug) Two problems surfaced by the demo binary: it hard-required libwebkit2gtk-4.1 (and the rest of the optional stack) just to open a window, and it was 23.6MB. 1. dlopen the optional libs instead of linking them. cn1_linux_browser.c (WebKit), cn1_linux_media.c (GStreamer) and cn1_linux_services.c (libsecret/libnotify/ geoclue) now resolve their entry points lazily via dlopen+dlsym (a __typeof__ function-pointer table mirroring each header), gated so a missing lib degrades to 'unsupported' instead of failing to start. The CMake link set drops these from target_link_libraries (kept only for their headers via a CN1OPT probe), so the shipped binary carries NO DT_NEEDED for webkit2gtk/gstreamer/etc. -- it needs only the GTK3 core. Verified: ldd shows zero optional deps; the windowed demo still renders. 2. Shrink the binary. The ELF build wasn't dead-stripping (Windows already does via /OPT:REF) and carried ~7MB of .eh_frame unwind tables that ParparVM's longjmp exceptions never use. Add -ffunction-sections/-fdata-sections + --gc-sections, -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables, and split the remaining debug/symbols into a separate <exe>.debug companion (objcopy) used only to symbolize crashes. Result: 23.6MB -> 7.25MB shipped exe (+ a 22MB .debug), still renders identically. Windows: the shipping (Release) build now also emits a separate .pdb (/Zi + /DEBUG, optimizations kept) so native crash addresses symbolize without bloating the exe -- previously only debug builds got symbols. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The published Windows-port sizes predated the build learning to split debug/ stack-unwind data out of the executable and dead-strip unreferenced code. Update the two blog posts (hello world ~4MB, full app ~8MB) with an Edit note explaining the reduction, and rework the dev guide's size section: the shipping build now writes debug info to a separate .pdb companion (so the exe stays lean AND crashes symbolize), rather than shipping with no symbols at all.

The Windows shipping build now emits a separate .pdb (/Zi + /DEBUG); export it from crossBuildsHelloSuiteExe next to WinHelloMain.exe and upload both, so a crash address symbolizes. Also exercises the new /Zi path on the Windows cross-build CI. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…l fiction) The shipped binary was glibc-linked and required GLIBC_2.38 (built on Ubuntu 24.04) -- it failed on any older distro. The plan's 'musl' was never wired into the build, and musl can't dynamically link a glibc distro's GTK anyway. The right fix for 'runs anywhere' is to build against an OLD glibc. Compile the native ELF with 'zig cc -target <arch>-linux-gnu.2.28' (CN1_CC in CI; the integration test now drives ASM through it too). zig is a self-contained glibc-version-pinning toolchain; GTK stays dynamically linked. Two source fixes this surfaced (clang is stricter than gcc, and matters for iOS too): - cn1_linux_net.c: #include <unistd.h> for usleep (was implicitly declared). - cn1_linux_glibc_compat.c: weak __isoc23_strto* forwarders -- glibc 2.38 headers redirect strtol -> __isoc23_strtol (a 2.38 symbol) for units that pull the host stdlib.h via curl; the weak shim resolves the old-glibc link and is ignored on a current glibc. Result (arm64, validated): 5.89 MB, requires only GLIBC_2.17, GTK3-only, renders identically. Runs on essentially any Linux from the last decade. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
LinuxNativeBuilder: default to zig cc against an old glibc (portable); add the linux.libc=glibc|musl build hint (musl = the Alpine target). targetTriple(arch, musl) and the wrapper carry the validated flags (-D_DEFAULT_SOURCE, system lib paths), and CMAKE_ASM_COMPILER is set so zig links the whole binary. Falls back to the host cc with a warning when zig is absent. Docs: rewrite the dev guide's false 'links musl, not glibc' section -- the binary is glibc (old-targeted) and musl can't dynamically link a glibc distro's GTK; document linux.libc and what each target runs on. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…break execinfo.h/backtrace() (the optional abort-backtrace handler) is glibc-only; musl has no execinfo.h. Guard the include + calls with #ifdef __GLIBC__ so the musl build compiles (the handler just omits the symbol dump there). Add a build-run-musl CI job: it translates + native-builds + runs the full suite end-to-end inside an Alpine container (pure musl, no glibc) via 'docker run', so a regression on the musl path is caught. Validated locally: the suite compiles and links under Alpine's musl gcc and the windowed demo runs (interpreter /lib/ld-musl-*, zero glibc refs, 7.25MB, GTK3-only). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…anguageTool gate The musl job compiled the launcher with JDK8 but the suite classes are Java 17 (v61) -- install openjdk17 in Alpine and export JDK_8_HOME/JDK_17_HOME so CompilerHelper picks the right JDK (as it does on the ubuntu runner). And add the 'zig' toolchain name to languagetool-accept.txt (it's flagged as a typo in prose). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…/camera) Replace the trivial spliced C demo with a real translated demo app exercising the native-peer / dlopen'd features that are hard to test automatically: single-line + multi-line text editing (GtkEntry/GtkTextView), the WebKit browser, GStreamer audio playback + recording, and camera capture. Each risky action is wrapped so a missing device/lib degrades to an on-screen message instead of a crash. Refactor translateHelloSuiteDistLinux/buildHelloCodenameOneElf to take a launcher source; the demo build (CN1_LINUX_DEMO_OUT, the linux-demo-<arch> artifact) now translates linuxDemoLauncherSource() and builds it with the same zig old-glibc toolchain. Verified the launcher compiles against the core/port API. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
… include The interactive demo's smaller closure exposed a translator quirk: a void runtime wrapper (e.g. virtual_java_lang_Thread_setDaemon___boolean) is called by the generated C but its cross-class #include is omitted, so clang/zig errors where gcc only warns. The wrapper is still defined and links, so add -Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration to the zig wrapper to match gcc. The suite build is already clean, so this only affects the minimal-closure demo. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The interactive demo's minimal closure left virtual_java_lang_Thread_setDaemon ungenerated, but the port's runMainEventLoop calls it -> undefined symbol at link. Reference it from main (in a never-taken branch) so the translator emits the wrapper, exactly as the suite launcher forces kotlin.Unit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
new Thread().setDaemon() has an exact receiver type, so the translator devirtualizes it to a direct call and the virtual wrapper the port needs still isn't emitted. Call through Thread.currentThread() instead -- the runtime type is unknown, so it stays a virtual dispatch and the wrapper is generated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The interactive demo's undefined virtual_java_lang_Thread_setDaemon was not a reachability/devirtualization quirk: the JavaAPI java.lang.Thread simply had no setDaemon method, so when an app reaches the port's capturePhoto path (the demo's camera button does; the suite never does) the translator has no body to emit -> undefined symbol. Any minimal app using camera/the async port paths would hit this. Add setDaemon(boolean)/isDaemon() (store the flag) -- verified locally that java_lang_Thread.c now emits both the body and the virtual wrapper, and LinuxImplementation.c now includes the header. Drop the demo-launcher force. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adding Thread.setDaemon to the JavaAPI makes the translator emit the wrapper AND the cross-class include, so there are no implicit declarations left to tolerate (verified: zero in the demo build). Drop the -Wno-error tolerance so the zig build stays strict and would catch a real future regression. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…WebKitGTK 4.0 fallback The interactive feature demo surfaced runtime bugs in the native peers that the headless screenshot suite never exercised: - Text input accepted no keystrokes. cn1OnKey is bound to the toplevel window and returned TRUE unconditionally, which suppresses GtkWindow's default handler that forwards keys to the focused widget -- so the overlaid GtkEntry/GtkTextView never saw a character. Now: when a native peer (not the drawing area) holds focus, return FALSE so GTK routes the key to it; CN1 keys resume once the peer is gone. - URL-based MediaManager.createMedia returned null -> NPE. LinuxImplementation only overrode the InputStream form; the String-URL form fell through to the base impl. Added createMedia(String uri, ...) backed by a new mediaCreateUri native that feeds the URI straight to playbin (streams http/https via souphttpsrc, plays file:// in place). Also null-check the playbin element in mediaCreate so a missing GStreamer base plugin set fails cleanly instead of dereferencing NULL. - BrowserComponent was blank on desktops without webkit2gtk-4.1. Added a dlopen fallback to the still-common 4.0 build (libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37); the resolved entry points share names/signatures across 4.0 and 4.1. - Demo: null-check the Media so a missing GStreamer degrades to a message, not NPE.
