After a stream reached eof, we fclose it, but then
test_util_spawn_background_partial_read() reads from it again, which causes
an error and thus another fclose(). Some platforms are fine with this, others
(e.g. debian-sid-i386) trigger a double-free() error. The actual code used by
Tor (log_from_pipe() and tor_check_port_forwarding()) handle this case
correctly.
Mainly used for testing reading from subprocesses. To be more generic
we now pass in a pointer to a process_handle_t rather than a Windows-
specific HANDLE.
Conventionally in Tor, structs are returned as pointers, so change
tor_spawn_background() to return the process handle in a pointer rather
than as return value.
* Use strcmpstart() instead of strcmp(x,y,strlen(y)).
* Warn the user if the managed proxy failed to launch.
* Improve function documentation.
* Use smartlist_len() instead of n_unconfigured_proxies.
* Split managed_proxy_destroy() to managed_proxy_destroy()
and managed_proxy_destroy_with_transports().
* Constification.
We'll still need to tweak it so that it looks for includes and
libraries somewhere more sensible than "where we happened to find
them on Erinn's system"; so that tests and tools get built too;
so that it's a bit documented; and so that we actually try running
the output.
Work done with Erinn Clark.
- pid, stdout/stderr_pipe now encapsulated in process_handle
- read_all replaced by tor_read_all_from_process_stdin/stderr
- waitpid replaced by tor_get_exit_code
Untested on *nix
This is the meat of proposal 171: we change circuit_is_acceptable()
to require that the connection is compatible with every connection
that has been linked to the circuit; we update circuit_is_better to
prefer attaching streams to circuits in the way that decreases the
circuits' usefulness the least; and we update link_apconn_to_circ()
to do the appropriate bookkeeping.
* Create a function that will get input from a stream, so that we can
communicate with the managed proxy.
* Hackish change to tor_spawn_background() so that we can specify an
environ for our spawn.
