- 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.
Messenger is slightly twisty when it comes to sending connection status
callbacks It will very likely need at the very least a partial refactor to
clean it up a bit. Toxcore shouldn't need void *userdata as deep as is
currently does.
(amend 1) Because of the nature of toxcore connection callbacks, I decided to
change this commit from statelessness for connections changes to statelessness
for friend requests. It's simpler this was and doesn't include doing anything
foolish in the time between commits.
group fixup because grayhatter doesn't want to do it
"arguably correct" is not how you write security sensitive code
Clear a compiler warning about types within a function.
A race condition that happens on machines with heavily used network interfaces
causes tests to fail. Packets sent don't arrive on time. This sleep gives it 100
extra milliseconds. The real fix would be to wait for the event to occur and
then continue, but with a "once-loop" that is tox_iterate, it's not feasible at
this time.
The former is a non-standard glibc extension. On linux, it is implemented as a
call to sched_yield, so this change does nothing there. On OSX, pthread_yield
doesn't exist, and we already use sched_yield.
Also, no longer #include the group code into tox.c. Instead, compile it
separately in tox_group.c. This is a bit less surprising to someone looking
around the code. Having some implementations in a .h file is certainly a bit
surprising to a disciplined C programmer, especially when there is no technical
reason to do it.
These functions simply return the constants. They are a stable ABI, so that if
constants change, the ABI of these functions won't. Code solely relying on these
functions will remain compatible with future values of those constants.
The functions are currently not exposed in tox.h, because this is pending a
change in apidsl to generate accessors for "const" values.
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.
The threading networking functions (on windows: winsock and friends) need to be
linked into the toxnetwork library, not the toxcore library, anymore. On Linux
and OSX, there is no winsock. On OSX, there is no need to link against threading
libraries, and on Linux, toxnetwork can have unresolved symbols when linking, so
this failure wasn't caught before.
Tested by building on the iphydf/windows-x86-qt5 docker image.
The expression was fun(foo = bar, foo). The evaluation order is unspecified,
and often this will do the wrong thing. We should forbid side effects in
argument lists and conditionals.
- This PR also adds a DEBUG cmake option that enables -DTOX_DEBUG.
- We also remove `-Wall`, because there are too many warnings, and nobody really
looks at them at the moment. We'll see about fixing them soon. We'll also want
to enable `-Werror` at some point.
- Finally, this PR enables `-O3` to make sure toxcore still works correctly
under heavy compiler optimisations.
If libsodium can't be found with PKG_CHECK_MODULES, try AC_CHECK_LIB. If that
also fails, abort configure. If a user passes --with-libsodium-libs explicitly,
that overrides the pkg-config found location.
**What are we doing?**
We are moving towards stateless callbacks. This means that when registering a
callback, you no longer pass a user data pointer. Instead, you pass a user data
pointer to tox_iterate. This pointer is threaded through the code, passed to
each callback. The callback can modify the data pointed at. An extra indirection
will be needed if the pointer itself can change.
**Why?**
Currently, callbacks are registered with a user data pointer. This means the
library has N pointers for N different callbacks. These pointers need to be
managed by the client code. Managing the lifetime of the pointee can be
difficult. In C++, it takes special effort to ensure that the lifetime of user
data extends at least beyond the lifetime of the Tox instance. For other
languages, the situation is much worse. Java and other garbage collected
languages may move objects in memory, so the pointers are not stable. Tox4j goes
through a lot of effort to make the Java/Scala user experience a pleasant one by
keeping a global array of Tox+userdata on the C++ side, and communicating via
protobufs. A Haskell FFI would have to do similarly complex tricks.
Stateless callbacks ensure that a user data pointer only needs to live during a
single function call. This means that the user code (or language runtime) can
move the data around at will, as long as it sets the new location in the
callback.
**How?**
We are doing this change one callback at a time. After each callback, we ensure
that everything still works as expected. This means the toxcore change will
require 15 Pull Requests.
This allows us to more clearly define interfaces between modules, and have the
linker help us ensure that module boundaries are respected.
The onion/tcp/net_crypto layer is a bit too large. This is due to a cyclic
dependency (onion -> net_crypto -> TCP -> onion). We may or may not want to
break that cycle in the future to allow the onion library to exist on its own
without net_crypto.
