Another fix to gpxlogger. I hope the last. Please test.
The problem was the lack of a timeout when reading gpsd from DBus.
I just pushed a fix for platforms lacking clock_gettime(). Aside from the
needed include, the current fallback only implements CLOCK_REALTIME, which
is the only type that's been used so far, and it's generally fine for
timeouts. For really accurate intervals, one should use
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, not CLOCK_MONOTONIC, since the latter only omits the
step adjustments, and still includes the same intentional rate errors for
slewing as CLOCK_REALTIME, typically on the order of 500ppm.
CLOCK_MONOTONIC is pretty much never what you really want.
With the timeout it indeed now only hangs for five seconds instead of
forever waiting for dbus, though ^C still has no effect as expected.
In the process, I did some testing with and without dbus running, and
found that gpxlogger is never able to find the local gpsd without dbus,
even in the perfectly normal case where gpsd is running with a receiver
providing fixes. Meanwhile, cgps has no trouble. I suspect that the dbus
failure is failing to fall back to the non-dbus method of connecting.
No other client uses gps_mainloop() so many bugs in there...
Indeed. It still nees to interact better with signals.
