This test runs practracker with a set of 0 thresholds, to make sure
that it enumerates all its values right. It tries running with an
empty exceptions file, and with an exceptions file that covers
_some_ of the data, and it makes sure that the outputs are as expected.
Now that there is only one toplevel place where we print problems,
we can redirect just that one print to a file when we are
regenerating the exceptions.txt file. Previously we redirected
sys.stdout, which is naughty, and forced us to send warnings (and
warnings alone) to stderr.
These flags let you suppress the message about the number of
problems and warnings, and let you control the thresholds above
which something counts as a problem.
I need this for testing.
Instead of having "consider" functions that have to call a global
ProblemVault, we can now generate all the metrics for the code
separately from the decision about what to do for them.
I'm about to refactor the code into a set of iterators that yield
*all* the metrics for the code, and then add a filter on top of that
to return the problems.
This C file will eventually belong in lib/confmgt, so it needs to
have only low-level dependencies. Now that it no longers needs
routerset.c, we can adjust its includes accordingly.
I'm not moving the file yet, since it would make fixup commits on
earlier branches here really hard to do.
Now that we have a reasonable implementation for overriding the
default options for TestingTorNetwork, we don't need to modify
config_var_t structs any more. And therefore, we can have constant
format options, like reasonable people.
It's important to make sure that we don't change a config_mgr_t
after we start using it to make objects, or we could get into
inconsistent states. This feature is the start of a safety
mechanism to prevent this problem.
Previously, when TestingTorNetwork was set, we would manually adjust
the initvalue members of a bunch of other config_var_t, and then
re-run the early parts or parsing the options.
Now we treat the initvalue fields as immutable, but instead assign
to them in options_init(), as early as possible. Rather than
re-running the early parts of options, we just re-call the
options_init_from_string() function.
This patch de-kludges some of our code pretty handily. I think it
could later handle authorities and fallbacks, but for now I think we
should leave those alone.
Iterating over this array was once a good idea, but now that we are
going to have a separate structure for each submodule's
configuration variables, we should indirect through the config_mgr_t
object.
The eventual design here will be that multiple config_format_t
objects get registered with a single config_mgr_t. That
config_mgr_t manages a "top-level" object, which has a pointer to
the other objects.
I had earlier thought of a different design, where there would be no
top-level object, and config_mgr_t would deal with a container
instead. But this would require a bunch of invasive refactoring
that I don't think we should do just yet.
Remember that our goal in the present refactoring is to allow each
subsystem to declare its own configuration structure and
variables. To do this, each module will get its own
config_format_t, and so we'll want a different structure that wraps
several config_format_t objects. This is a "config_mgr_t".
