strerror_r() has two versions: GNU-specific and XSI-compliant. The XSI
version always stores the string in the provided buffer, but the GNU
version might store it in the provided buffer or it might use some
immutable static buffer instead. Since we always free the error string,
we might end up freeing the immutable static buffer.
Also added a whole bunch of logging that I needed while debugging the
issue. The solution in the end is that bootstrap needs to resolve IPs,
and getaddrinfo fails in the browser. Most of the time we bootstrap
against IPs anyway, so trying to parse as IP address first will shortcut
that.
The brackets serve no purpose and make us do extra string
parsing when using the output for other things
Also removed a useless call to ip_ntoa in LAN_discovery.c
We still have them in toxav. That will need to be cleaned up later.
Flexible array members have very limited usefulness. In this particular
case, it's almost entirely useless. It confuses static analysers and is
yet one more C feature we need to understand and support. It is also the
only reason we need special support in tokstyle for calloc with a `+`
operator in the member size.
Use of `strcpy` in these particular cases was safe, but it's hard to
tell and also useless. `strcpy` would effectively need to do another
`strlen` which we already did.
Also removed sprintf, which was also safe in this case but it's easier to
be "obviously safe", especially for static analysers.
We have a more portable wrapper that is now also thread-safe. Also
stopped using sprintf in the one place we used it. This doesn't really
help much, but it allows us to forbid sprintf globally.
Also added a valgrind build to run it on every pull request. I've had to
disable a few tests because valgrind makes those run infinitely slowly,
consistently timing them out.
It's nice we are able to compile with `tcc`. Let's not break that.
CompCert is also neat, but its interpreter mode doesn't work on tox, so
we only use the compiler.
/var/lib/tox-bootstrapd on the host is owned by hosts's tox-bootstrapd
and chowned 700, but the container attempts to access it as its own
tox-bootstrapd user with possibly different uid:gid, which will fail if
host's tox-bootstrapd user has different uid:gid than the tox-bootstrapd
user inside the container.
This change makes the container use host's tox-bootstrapd uid:gid, which
fixes the issue.
The android warnings are disabled now because they suggest using
linux-only extensions of libc. Useful for android indeed, but we're
targeting non-android and non-linux systems as well.
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_*`.
2018-07-08:
```
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.
Passing Logger object into every function isn't fun. See for yourself:
something as simple as a public key printing function turns from
>void print_public_key(const uint8_t *public_key)
to
>void print_public_key(Logger *logger, const uint8_t *public_key)
Some of them were set incorrectly, e.g. something that caused the
daemon to exit was marked as just a warning, instead of an error.
Removed debug level as it was hard to decide whether something should
go into info or debug. This is mostly because the use of the debug level
wasn't well defined. Debug should be used for information that could
help a user to debug an issue, but messages marked as debug were by the
most part the "success" log messages, which could go into info level
instead.
@arthurtiteica has pointed out that systemd has more suitable facilities for
creating a temporary directory for a PID file rather than calling ExecStartPre,
which requires an absolute path to coreutils executables we used for creating a
directory and changing its owner, paths of which are are not universal across
distributions. Systemd can take care of it for us without need to provide
absolute paths, which is what we use here.
since the daemon is in the process of being packaged for easy deployment, it's probably best we have a working default config that extends existing nodes.
