The default stack size for musl-libc is 128kb. Therefore we should try to keep stack
allocations well below this limit in order to avoid stack overflows.
We no longer allow `int a, b;`. In the few cases where we used it, we
instead better
* limit the scope of the identifier (e.g. in a for-init-decl)
* split the line and have 2 separate declarators, because the
identifiers designate different types of things (e.g. friend numbers
and group numbers).
This check puts all of our code in a C++ anonymous namespace, which is
effectively making all functions `static`. This allows the compiler to
determine that a function is unused, so we can delete it.
* Use-after-free because we free network before dht in one case.
* Various unchecked allocs in tests (not so important).
* We used to not check whether ping arrays were actually allocated in DHT.
* `ping_kill` and `ping_array_kill` used to crash when passing NULL.
Also:
* Added an assert in all public API functions to ensure tox isn't NULL.
The error message you get from that is a bit nicer than "Segmentation
fault" when clients (or our tests) do things wrong.
* Decreased the sleep time in iterate_all_wait from 20ms to 5ms.
Everything seems to still work with 5ms, and this greatly decreases
the amount of time spent per test run, making oomer run much faster.
* Use fully static build for the bootstrap daemon.
* Store a sha256sum of the binary in the repo.
* Updated documentation for it.
* Add support for fully static build in cmake.
* Enable the docker build on every PR, so we catch changes to the
checksum. I realise this is adding toil, but having the checksum is
valuable for security of released binaries.
tox-bootstrapd can use around 600 TCP sockets during TCP server's normal
functioning. Many systems default to having a soft limit of 1024 open file
descriptors, which we are close to reaching, so it was suggested we bump that
limit to a higher number. iphy suggested increasing it to 32768.
Don't know why codes with macro dosen't work.
As it's only a few expensive, just code it without macro for now.
\#if (MIN_LOGGER_LEVEL == LOG_TRACE) || (MIN_LOGGER_LEVEL == LOG_DEBUG)
fprintf(stderr, "[%s] %s:%d(%s) %s\n", strlevel, file, line, func, message);
\#endif
Reduced by, e.g.:
* `file_transfer_test`: 33% of the `clock_gettime` calls.
* `tox_many_test`: 53% of the `clock_gettime` calls.
Other tests will see similar improvements. Real world applications will
be closer to 40-50% improvement, since tox_many_test has 100 nodes, while
file_transfer_test has 2 nodes.
It turns out, `unix_time` is also monotonic, and is used as such, so I've
renamed the new functions to `mono_time_*`.

```
00:01 <@irungentoo> the idea used to be that the unix_time() function
could go backward in time but I think I might have started using it like
if it could not after I changed it so that it would never go back in time
```
Rules:
1. Constants are uppercase names: THE_CONSTANT.
2. SUE[1] types start with an uppercase letter and have at least one
lowercase letter in it: The_Type, THE_Type.
3. Function types end in "_cb": tox_friend_connection_cb.
4. Variable and function names are all lowercase: the_function.
This makes it easier for humans reading the code to determine what an
identifier means. I'm not convinced by the enum type name change, but I
don't know a better rule. Currently, a lot of enum types are spelled like
constants, which is confusing.

"All rights reserved" was incorrect. The project was licensed under GPL3,
which means a lot of rights are licensed to everybody in the world, i.e.
not reserved to the "Tox Project".
- CFLAG gnu99 was changed to c99.
- CXXFLAG c++98 was changed to c++11.
- CFLAG -pedantic-errors was added so that non-ISO C now throws errors.
- _XOPEN_SOURCE feature test macro added and set to 600 to expose SUSv3
and c99 definitions in modules that required them.
- Fixed tests (and bootstrap daemon logging) that were failing due to
the altered build flags.
- Avoid string suffix misinterpretation; explicit narrowing conversion.
- Misc. additions to .gitignore to make sure build artifacts don't wind
up in version control.
It is still C code, so still compatible with C compilers as well. This
change lets us see more clearly where implicit conversions occur by
making them explicit.
- All global variables should be static unless they have an explicit
extern declaration in a header file.
- `to_compare` was not used in encryptsave and toxav tests.
- `break` in switch cases is not required directly after `return`,
`goto`, or a noreturn function like `abort`.
I hadn't done this for the "fun" code, yet. Also, we should include
system headers after our own headers.
"In general, a module should be implemented by one or more .cpp files.
Each of these .cpp files should include the header that defines their
interface first. This ensures that all of the dependences of the module
header have been properly added to the module header itself, and are not
implicit. System headers should be included after user headers for a
translation unit."

- Any non-externally-visible declarations should be `static`.
- Casting away the `const` qualifier from pointers-to-const is
dangerous. All but one instance of this are now correct. The one
instance where we can't keep `const` is one where toxav code actually
writes to a chunk of memory marked as `const`. This code also assumes
4 byte alignment of data packets. I don't know whether that is a valid
assumption, but it's likely unportable, and *not* obviously correct.
- Replaced empty parameter lists with `(void)` to avoid passing
parameters to it. Empty parameter lists are old style declarations for
unknown number and type of arguments.
- Commented out (as `#if DHT_HARDENING` block) the hardening code that
was never executed.
- Minor style fix: don't use `default` in enum-switches unless the number
of enumerators in the default case is very large. In this case, it was
2, so we want to list them both explicitly to be warned about missing
one if we add one in the future.
- Removed the only two function declarations from nTox.h and put them
into nTox.c. They are not used outside and nTox is not a library.
- Don't cast between object and function pointers.
- Use standard compliant `__VA_ARGS__` in macros.
- Add explicit `__extension__` on unnamed union in struct (it's a GNU
extension).
- Remove ; after function definitions.
- Replace `const T foo = 3;` for integral types `T` with `enum { foo = 3 };`.
Folding integral constants like that as compile time constants is a GNU
extension. Arrays allocated with `foo` as dimension are VLAs on strictly
compliant C99 compilers.
- Replace empty initialiser list `{}` with zero-initialiser-list `{0}`.
The former is a GNU extension meaning the latter.
- Cast `T*` (where `T != void`) to `void *` in format arguments. While any
object pointer can be implicitly converted to and from `void *`, this
conversion does not happen in variadic function calls.
- Replace arithmetic on `void *` with arithmetic on `char *`. The former
is non-compliant.
- Replace non-`int`-derived types (like `uint16_t`, which is
`short`-derived) in bit fields with `int`-derived types. Using any type
other than `int` or `unsigned int` (or any of their aliases) in bit
fields is a GNU extension.
This removes the global logger (which by the way was deleted when the first tox
was killed, so other toxes would then stop logging). Various bits of the code
now carry a logger or pass it around. It's a bit less transparent now, but now
there is no need to have a global logger, and clients can decide what to log and
where.
Apparently when no tty is attached, which is the case for Docker, the
buffer size for stdout increases to the point that only half of the
entire log might be written.
bootstrap_node_packets.c was giving an error as it was being included
twice and there were no include guards, so part of it was split into
bootstrap_node_packets.h.
Useful for things like a Docker container or just running it in the
terminal.
Complements the stdout logging option. This is actually why the stdout
logging was added in the first place -- to be used in the foreground
mode, though nothing stops one from using stdout in the background
mode, which one could redirect to a file.
