Having the numbers in those messages makes some of the unit test
unstable, by causing them to depend on the initialization order of
the naming objects.

Previously, I had used integers encoded as pointers. This
introduced a flaw: NULL represented both the integer zero, and the
absence of a setting. This in turn made the checks in
cfg_msg_set_{type,chan}() not actually check for an altered value if
the previous value had been set to zero.
Also, I had previously kept a pointer to a dispatch_fypefns_t rather
than making a copy of it. This meant that if the dispatch_typefns_t
were changed between defining the typefns and creating the
dispatcher, we'd get the modified version.
Found while investigating coverage in pubsub_add_{pub,sub}_()
We want the DISPATCH_ADD_PUB() macro to count as making a
DECLARE_PUBLISH() invocation "used", so let's try a new approach
that preserves that idea. The old one apparently did not work for
some versions of osx clang.
This code tries to prevent a large number of possible errors by
enforcing different restrictions on the messages that different
modules publish and subscribe to.
Some of these rules are probably too strict, and some too lax: we
should feel free to change them as needed as we move forward and
learn more.
This "publish/subscribe" layer sits on top of lib/dispatch, and
tries to provide more type-safety and cross-checking for the
lower-level layer.
Even with this commit, we're still not done: more checking will come
in the next commit, and a set of usability/typesafety macros will
come after.
This module implements a way to send messages from one module to
another, with associated data types. It does not yet do anything to
ensure that messages are correct, that types match, or that other
forms of consistency are preserved.
We already do this in our log_debug() macro, but there are times
when we'd like to avoid allocating or precomputing something that we
are only going to log if debugging is on.
When NULL is given to lpApplicationName we enable Windows' "magical"
path interpretation logic, which makes Tor 0.4.x behave in the same way
as previous Tor versions did when it comes to executing binaries in
different system paths.
For more information about this have a look at the CreateProcessA()
documentation on MSDN -- especially the string interpretation example is
useful to understand this issue.
This bug was introduced in commit bfb94dd2ca.
