There are three reasons we use a cached_dir_t to hold a consensus:
1. to serve that consensus to a client
2. to apply a consensus diff to an existing consensus
3. to send the consensus to a controller.
But case 1 is dircache-only. Case 2 and case 3 both fall back to
networkstatus_read_cached_consensus(). So there's no reason for us
to store this as a client. Avoiding this saves about 23% of our RAM
usage, according to our experiments last month.
This is, semantically, a partial revert of e5c608e535.
Fixes bug 27247; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
As of August 29, 2018, Appveyor images come with gcc 8.2.0 by
default. 64-bit Windows executables compiled with gcc 8.2.0 and
tor's --enable-gcc-hardening crash.
Fixes bug 27460; bugfix on 0.3.4.1-alpha.
It is not supported, and always fails. Some compilers warn about the
function pointer cast on 64-bit Windows.
Fixes bug 27461; bugfix on 0.2.2.23-alpha.
gcc 8 warns that extend_info_t.nickname might be truncated by strncpy().
But it doesn't know that nickname can either contain a hex id, or a
nicknames. hex ids are only used for general and HSDir circuits.
Fixes bug 27463; bugfix on 0.1.1.2-alpha.
GetProcAddress() returns FARPROC, which is (long long int(*)()) on
64-bit Windows:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms683212(v=vs.85).aspx
But GetAdaptersAddresses() is (long unsigned int(*)()), on both 32-bit
and 64-bit Windows:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/iphlpapi/nf-iphlpapi-getadaptersaddresses
So gcc 8 issues a spurious "incompatible function pointer" warning
about the cast to GetAdaptersAddresses_fn_t.
Silence this warning by casting to a void function pointer, before
the cast to GetAdaptersAddresses_fn_t.
This issue is already fixed by 26481 in 0.3.5 and later, by removing
the lookup and cast.
Fixes bug 27465; bugfix on 0.2.3.11-alpha.
