C99 allows a syntax for structures whose last element is of
unspecified length:
struct s {
int elt1;
...
char last_element[];
};
Recent (last-5-years) autoconf versions provide an
AC_C_FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER test that defines FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER
to either no tokens (if you have c99 flexible array support) or to 1
(if you don't). At that point you just use offsetof
[STRUCT_OFFSET() for us] to see where last_element begins, and
allocate your structures like:
struct s {
int elt1;
...
char last_element[FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER];
};
tor_malloc(STRUCT_OFFSET(struct s, last_element) +
n_elements*sizeof(char));
The advantages are:
1) It's easier to see which structures and elements are of
unspecified length.
2) The compiler and related checking tools can also see which
structures and elements are of unspecified length, in case they
wants to try weird bounds-checking tricks or something.
3) The compiler can warn us if we do something dumb, like try
to stack-allocate a flexible-length structure.
Having very long single lines with lots and lots of things in them
tends to make files hard to diff and hard to merge. Since our tools
are one-line-at-a-time, we should try to construct lists that way too,
within reason.
This incidentally turned up a few headers in configure.in that we were
for some reason searching for twice.
We decided to no longer ship expert packages for OS X because they're a
lot of trouble to keep maintained and confuse users. For those who want
a tor on OS X without Vidalia, macports is a fine option. Alternatively,
building from source is easy, too.
The polipo stuff that is still required for the Vidalia bundle build can
now be found in the torbrowser repository,
git://git.torproject.org/torbrowser.git.
When configuring with --enable-gcc-warnings, we use -Wformat=2 which
automatically enables the available -Wformat switches, so adding them
again in the --enable-gcc-hardening case doesn't make sense..
We used to enable ssp-buffer-size=1 only when building with
--enable-gcc-warnings. That would result in warnings (and no
protection for small arrays) when building with
--enable-gcc-hardening without enabling warnings, too. Fixes bug
2031.
Also remove an XXX: We now allow to build with -fstack-protector
by using --enable-gcc-hardening.
Currently the unit tests test_util_spawn_background_* assume that they
are run from the Tor build directory. This is not the case when running
make distcheck, so the test will fail. This problem is fixed by autoconf
setting BUILDDIR to be the root of the Tor build directory, and this
preprocessor variable being used to specify the absolute path to
test-child. Also, in test-child, do not print out argv[0] because this will
no longer be predictable. Found by Sebastian Hahn.
* MINIUPNPC rather than the generic UPNP
* Nick suggested a better abstraction model for tor-fw-helper
* Fix autoconf to build with either natpmp or miniupnpc
* Add AM_PROG_CC_C_O to fix automake complaint
* update spec to address nickm's concern
* refactor nat-pmp to match upnp state
* we prefer tor_snprintf to snprintf
* link properlty for tor_snprintf
* rename test_commandline_options to log_commandline_options
* cast this uint as an int
* detect possible FD_SETSIZE errors
* make note about future enhancements for natpmp
* add upnp enhancement note
* ChangeLog entry
* doxygen and check-spaces cleanup
* create tor-fw-helper.1.txt
tor-fw-helper is a command-line tool to wrap and abstract various
firewall port-forwarding tools.
This commit matches the state of Jacob's tor-fw-helper branch as of
23 September 2010.

This is needed for IOCP, since telling the IOCP backend about all
your CPUs is a good idea. It'll also come in handy with asn's
multithreaded crypto stuff, and for people who run servers without
reading the manual.
Build on Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit was failing:
util.c: In function ‘parse_http_time’:
util.c:1370: error: not protecting function: no buffer at least 8 bytes long
We don't want to lose -Werror, and we don't care too much about the
added overhead of protecting even small buffers, so let's simply turn on
SSP for all buffers.
Thanks to Jacob Appelbaum for the pointer and SwissTorExit for the
original report.

This patch adds support for two new configure options:
'--enable-gcc-hardening'
This sets CFLAGS to include:
"-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector-all"
"-fwrapv -fPIE -Wstack-protector -Wformat -Wformat-security"
"-Wpointer-sign"
It sets LDFLAGS to include:
"-pie"
'--enable-linker-hardening'
This sets LDFLAGS to include:
" -z relro -z now"
Works like the --enable-static-openssl/libevent options. Requires
--with-zlib-dir to be set. Note that other dependencies might still
pull in a dynamicly linked zlib, if you don't link them in statically
too.
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.
For most linking setups, this doesn't matter. But for some setups, when
statically linking openssl, it does matter, since you need to link things
with dependencies before you link things they depend on.
Fix for bug 1237.
This removes the Makefile.am from doc/design-paper and replaces it with
a static Makefile. We don't need to call it during the normal Tor build
process, as we don't need its targets normally. Keeping it around in
case we want to rebuild the pdf or ps files later.
This should be a very faithful conversion, preserving as much of the layout
of the old manpage as possible. This wasn't possible for the nt-service
and the DataDirectory/state parts. See a later commit for some small
cleanups.
Tiago Faria helped with the asciidoc conversion, big thanks!
On this OSX version, there is a stub mlockall() function
that doesn't work, *and* the declaration for it is hidden by
an '#ifdef _P1003_1B_VISIBLE'. This would make autoconf
successfully find the function, but our code fail to build
when no declaration was found.
This patch adds an additional test for the declaration.
This fixes bug 1147:
bionic doesn't have an actual implementation of mlockall();
mlockall() is merely in the headers but not actually in the library.
This prevents Tor compilation with the bionic libc for Android handsets.
