tor/changes/feature24583

  o Minor features (testing, debugging):
    - For development purposes, Tor now has a mode in which it runs
      for a few seconds, then stops, and starts again without exiting
      the process. This mode is meant to help us debug various issues
      with ticket 23847. To use this feature, compile with
      --enable-restart-degbugging, and set the TOR_DEBUG_RESTART
      environment variable. This is expected to crash a lot, and is
      really meant for developers only. It will likely be removed in a future
      release. Implements ticket 24583.
Add a mostly disabled feature to debug restarting in-process For 23847, we want Tor to be able to shut down and then restart in the same process. Here's a patch to make the Tor binary do that. To test it, you need to build with --enable-restart-debugging, and then you need to set the environment variable TOR_DEBUG_RESTART. With this option, Tor will then run for 5 seconds, then restart itself in-process without exiting. This only happens once. You can change the 5-second interval using TOR_DEBUG_RESTART_AFTER_SECONDS. Implements ticket 24583. 2017-12-11 16:57:00 +01:00			`o Minor features (testing, debugging):`
