When setting the maximum number of connections allowed by the OS,
always allow some extra file descriptors for other files.
Fixes bug 22797; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
It's not okay to use the same varargs list twice, and apparently
some windows build environments produce code here that would leave
tor_asprintf() broken. Fix for bug 20560; bugfix on 0.2.2.11-alpha
when tor_asprintf() was introduced.
The functions it warns about are:
assert, memcmp, strcat, strcpy, sprintf, malloc, free, realloc,
strdup, strndup, calloc.
Also, fix a few lingering instances of these in the code. Use other
conventions to indicate _intended_ use of assert and
malloc/realloc/etc.
The Autoconf macro AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS defines preprocessor macros
which turn on extensions to C and POSIX. The macro also makes it easier
for developers to use the extensions without needing (or forgetting) to
define them manually.
The macro can be safely used because it was introduced in Autoconf 2.60
and Tor requires Autoconf 2.63 and above.
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.
Avoid using a pronoun where it makes comments unclear.
Avoid using gender for things that don't have it.
Avoid assigning gender to people unnecessarily.
* The option is now KeepBindCapabilities
* We now warn if the user specifically asked for KeepBindCapabilities
and we can't deliver.
* The unit tests are willing to start.
* Fewer unused-variable warnings.
* More documentation, fewer misspellings.
(But it won't work on some systems without IPv4/IPv6 localhost
(some BSD jails) by design, to avoid creating sockets on routable
IP addresses. However, those systems likely have the AF_UNIX socketpair,
which tor prefers.)
Fixes bug #17638; bugfix on a very early tor version,
earlier than 22dba27d8d (23 Nov 2004) / svn:r2943.
Patch by "teor".
If setrlimit() failed, max_out wasn't set in set_max_file_descriptors()
ending in a state where we don't use ULIMIT_BUFFER for things like tor
private key files.
Also fix the set_max_file_descriptors() documentation.
Fixes#16274
