(When the correct answer is given in terms of seconds since the
epoch, it's hard to be sure that it really is the right answer
just by reading the code.)
* It seems parse_http_time wasn't parsing correctly any date with commas (RFCs
1123 and 850). Fix that.
* It seems parse_http_time was reporting the wrong month (they start at 0, not
1). Fix that.
* Add some tests for parse_http_time, covering all three formats.
The underlying strtoX functions handle overflow by saturating and
setting errno to ERANGE. If the min/max arguments to the
tor_parse_* functions are equal to the minimum/maximum of the
underlying type, then with the old approach, we wouldn't treat a
too-large value as genuinely broken.
Found this while looking at bug 5786; bugfix on 19da1f36 (in Tor
0.0.9), which introduced these functions.
We want to make sure that we don't break old torrc files that might have
used something like this made-up example:
ContactInfo UberUser <uber@user.com> # /// Fake email! \\\
Log info file /home/nick.mathewson/projects/tor-info.log
And we also want to support the following style of writing your torrc:
ExcludeNodes \
# Node1337 is run by the Bavarian Illuminati
Node1337, \
# The operator of Node99 looked at me funny
Node99
The code already handles both cases, but the unit test should help prove
it.
This function uses GetSystemDirectory() to make sure we load the version
of the library from c:\windows\system32 (or local equivalent) rather than
whatever version lives in the cwd.
asprintf() is a GNU extension that some BSDs have picked up: it does a printf
into a newly allocated chunk of RAM.
Our tor_asprintf() differs from standard asprintf() in that:
- Like our other malloc functions, it asserts on OOM.
- It works on windows.
- It always sets its return-field.
I believe that since we were allocating *cp while holding a mutex,
coverity deduced that *cp must be protected by that mutex, and later
flipped out when we didn't use it that way. If this is so, we can
solve our problems by moving the *cp = tor_strdup(buf) part outside of
the mutex-protected code.
We do this in too many places throughout the code; it's time to start
clamping down.
Also, refactor Karsten's patch to use strchr-then-strndup, rather than
malloc-then-strlcpy-then-strchr-then-clear.
