This warning, IIUC, means that the compiler doesn't like it when it
sees a NULL check _after_ we've already dereferenced the
variable. In such cases, it considers itself free to eliminate the
NULL check.
There are a couple of tricky cases:
One was the case related to the fact that tor_addr_to_in6() can
return NULL if it gets a non-AF_INET6 address. The fix was to
create a variant which asserts on the address type, and never
returns NULL.
So, back long ago, XXX012 meant, "before Tor 0.1.2 is released, we
had better revisit this comment and fix it!"
But we have a huge pile of such comments accumulated for a large
number of released versions! Not cool.
So, here's what I tried to do:
* 0.2.9 and 0.2.8 are retained, since those are not yet released.
* XXX+ or XXX++ or XXX++++ or whatever means, "This one looks
quite important!"
* The others, after one-by-one examination, are downgraded to
plain old XXX. Which doesn't mean they aren't a problem -- just
that they cannot possibly be a release-blocking problem.
Make it clearer that they are about outgoing connection attempts.
Specify the options involved where they were missing from one log
message.
Clarify a comment.
Downgrade logs and backtraces about IP versions to
info-level. Only log backtraces once each time tor runs.
Assists in diagnosing bug 18351; bugfix on c3cc8e16e in
tor-0.2.8.1-alpha.
Reported by "sysrqb" and "Christian", patch by "teor".
I didn't want to grant blanket permissions for chmod() and chown(),
so here's what I had to do:
* Grant open() on all parent directories of a unix socket
* Write code to allow chmod() and chown() on a given file only.
* Grant chmod() and chown() on the unix socket.
This is a part of a fix for 18253; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
Alternatively, we could permit chmod/chown in the sandbox, but I
really don't like giving the sandbox permission to alter
permissions.
If unix socket was configured as listener (such as a ControlSocket or a
SocksPort unix socket), and tor was started as root but not configured
to switch to another user, tor would segfault while trying to string
compare a NULL value. Fixes bug 18261; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. Patch

Bridge clients ignore ClientUseIPv6, acting as if it is always 1.
This preserves existing behaviour.
Make ClientPreferIPv6OR/DirPort auto by default:
* Bridge clients prefer IPv6 by default.
* Other clients prefer IPv4 by default.
This preserves existing behaviour.
ClientUseIPv4 0 tells tor to avoid IPv4 client connections.
ClientPreferIPv6DirPort 1 tells tor to prefer IPv6 directory connections.
Refactor policy for IPv4/IPv6 preferences.
Fix a bug where node->ipv6_preferred could become stale if
ClientPreferIPv6ORPort was changed after the consensus was loaded.
Update documentation, existing code, add unit tests.

According to the POSIX standard the option value is a pointer to void
and the option length a socklen_t. The Windows implementation makes the
option value be a pointer to character and the option length an int.
Casting the option value to a pointer to void conforms to the POSIX
standard while the implicit cast to a pointer to character conforms to
the Windows implementation.
The casts of the option length to the socklen_t data type conforms to
the POSIX standard. The socklen_t data type is actually an alias of an
int so it also conforms to the Windows implementation.
port is in host order (addr is tor_addr_t, endianness is abstracted).
addr and port can be different to conn->addr and conn->port if
connecting via a proxy.
These commands allow for the creation and management of ephemeral
Onion ("Hidden") services that are either bound to the lifetime of
the originating control connection, or optionally the lifetime of
the tor instance.
Implements #6411.
Most of these are in somewhat non-obvious code where it is probably
a good idea to initialize variables and add extra assertions anyway.
Closes 13036. Patches from "teor".
Previously, we had done this only in the connection_free() case, but
when we called connection_free_() directly from
connections_free_all(), we didn't free the connections.
Currently tor fails to build its test when enabled with bufferevents
because an #ifndef USE_BUFFEREVENTS hides bucket_millis_empty() and
friends. This is fine if we don't run tests, but if we do, we need
these functions in src/or/libtor-testing.a when linking src/test/test.
This patch moves the functions outside the #ifndef and exposes them.

Conflicts involved removal of next_circ_id and addition of
unusable-circid tracking.
The point of the "idle timeout" for connections is to kill the
connection a while after it has no more circuits. But using "last
added a non-padding cell" as a proxy for that is wrong, since if the
last circuit is closed from the other side of the connection, we
will not have sent anything on that connection since well before the
last circuit closed.
This is part of fixing 6799.
When applied to 0.2.5, it is also a fix for 12023.
Instead of killing an or_connection_t that has had no circuits for
the last 3 minutes, give every or_connection_t a randomized timeout,
so that an observer can't so easily infer from the connection close
time the time at which its last circuit closed.
Also, increase the base timeout for canonical connections from 3
minutes to 15 minutes.
Fix for ticket 6799.
The code was not disambiguating ClientTransportPlugin configured and
not used, and ClientTransportPlugin configured, but in a failed state.
The right thing to do is to undo moving the get_transport_by_addrport()
call back into get_proxy_addrport(), and remove and explicit check for
using a Bridge since by the time the check is made, if a Bridge is
being used, it is PT/proxy-less.
