This way, developers compile toxcore, toxav, and toxencryptsave as C++ at
least once at home, reducing the likelyhood of running into travis
failures where we compile as C++ in the windows build.
This allows us and users to reproducibly build verified versions of the
library with checksums. It will power the toktok-stack continuous build
with checked-in checksums at specific git revisions.
Tests are not actually ran on appveyor for now, since they all fault for
some reason. For now, we just build them. Also, some tests are disabled
on msvc entirely, because they don't even compile. We'll need to look
into those, later. They are disabled using `MSVC_DONT_BUILD`.
This requires that every symbol, even if static (file-scope), is unique.
The idea is that we can easily run "whole" program static analysis on
programs that include monolith.h ("whole" is in quotes, as we don't
include dependencies like libsodium in this static analysis).
- rework ip_ntoa() to avoid use of static variables
- rework sort_client_list() to avoid use of static variables
- move static 'lastdump' into Messenger struct
- rework ID2String() to avoid use of static variables; rename to id_to_string()
- fetch_broadcast_info(): attempt to mitigate risks from concurrent execution
- current_time_monotonic(): attempt to mitigate risks from concurrent execution

"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.
Also added a `tox_options_copy` function for cloning an options object.
This can be useful when creating several Tox instances with slightly
varying options.
We create and destroy 20k tox instances and run a single tox_iterate on
it. This test is not comprehensive, but provides a simple check to see
whether the destruction properly cleans up memory and perhaps other
resources.
`new_nonce` has been an alias for `random_nonce` for a while now. Having
two names for the same operation is confusing. `random_nonce` better
expresses the intent. The documentation for `new_nonce` talks about
guaranteeing that the nonce is different from previous ones, which is
incorrect, it's just quite likely to be different.
Previously, all log messages generated by tox_new (which is quite a lot)
were dropped, because client code had no chance to register a logging
callback, yet. This change allows setting the log callback from the
beginning and removes the ability to unset it.
Since the log callback is forever special, since it can't be stateless,
we don't necessarily need to treat it uniformly (with `event`).
We disable the ones that fire, so we can use -Werror. We can then
investigate each warning individually and see whether to fix it or to
keep silencing it.
Compiling as C++ changes nothing semantically, but ensures that we don't
break C++ compatibility while also retaining C compatibility.
C++ compatibility is useful for tooling and additional diagnostics and
analyses.
In a next step, we will remove tests from each file to have a per-binary
split of tests. This will help identify which tests fail most often on
Travis CI.
In another future step, we will split the large one_test into several
auto tests, which will make testing quite a bit slower (adding about 10
seconds setup time to each), but hopefully a lot more stable ("Tox went
offline" should not happen as much anymore).
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`.
In the future, all TODOs added either need a bug number (TODO(#NN)) or a
person's github user name. By default, I made irungentoo the owner of
all toxcore TODOs, mannol the owner of toxav TODOs, and myself the owner
of API TODOs.
This header is a requirement for the public API, therefore is assumed to
exist. It is a C99 standard library header, and _Bool is not intended to
be used directly, except in legacy code that defines bool (and
true/false) itself. We don't use or depend on such code. None of our
client code uses or depends on such code. There is no reason to not use
bool.
It now enforces a bit more formatting. In particular, padding inside
parentheses is removed. I would like it to remove padding after unary
operators, but there seems to be no option for that.
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.
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.
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 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.
**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.
Also, fix the hstox build that was taking half an hour. It now takes 5 minutes.
Also, perform distcheck on travis to ensure that make dist works. It's not
actually failing the build at the moment due to broken tests.

Upon my own decision, the two tox_encryped_new convenience functions were removed due to basically needing two different sets of error codes.
At iphydf's suggestion the corresponding tox_get_encrypted_savedata convenience functions were removed as well.
A couple of minor reasons, combined warrant a PR imo:
a) fileChunkRequested is a better signal name than fileRequestChunkReceived, and I don't want to break consistency by reordering words for just this signal
b) "request chunk" is parsed by English speakers as a verb-object combination,
implying sending the request, not receiving, whereas "chunk requested" is
parsed (more correctly) as an adjective-noun combo (in particular, request is
a noun not a verb), and thus reads far more like "hey heads up we just got a request"
For instance some tests/testing code had some callbacks to *receive* chunk requests, and they were called "tox_file_request_chunk"... to receive a chunk, not request it. Now they're called "tox_file_chunk_request".
So yeah...
This function can be used to seek an incoming file tranfer right
before accepting it.
It is meant to be used to resume incomplete file tranfers by clients.
file_id is a 32byte identifier that can be used by users to identify
file tranfers across core/client restarts in order to resume broken
file tranfers.
In avatar tranfers it corresponds to the hash of the avatar.
Added tox_file_get_file_id() function to api to obtain the file_id
of an ongoing file transfer.
If not set, core will generate a random one.
Also, all data now has the magic number prepended. This is incompatible
for all but the save/load functions, but I think nothing besides the one
experimental qTox branch used any of those, which is why I feel confident
about the change.
An index for replacement candidate is searched
in one lookup cycle for all types (bad, possibly bad, good).
Sorting of items has been removed (sorting logic can be substituted
by a maximum search).
correctly.
This should fix an issue that happened when both clients got
disconnected when the file was almost finished sending. The sender
would show that the file had been sent successfully when it had not.
See the modifications to tox.h
now described as the maximum width and height of images.
This is to work around what appears to be a bug in libvpx where the
resolution of the stream can be decreased but increasing it above
its originally set value introduces memory corruption.
