This flag prevents the creation of a console window popup on Windows. We
need it for pluggable transport executables--otherwise you get blank
console windows when you launch the 3.x browser bundle with transports
enabled.

The browser bundles that used Vidalia used to set this flag when
launching tor itself; it was apparently inherited by the pluggable
transports launched by tor. In the 3.x bundles, tor is launched by some
JavaScript code, which doesn't have the ability to set CREATE_NO_WINDOW.
tor itself is now being compiled with the -mwindows option, so that it
is a GUI application, not a console application, and doesn't show a
console window in any case. This workaround doesn't work for pluggable
transports, because they need to be able to write control messages to
stdout.

On platforms with the backtrace/backtrace_symbols_fd interface, Tor
can now dump stack traces on assertion failure. By default, I log
them to DataDir/stack_dump and to stderr.
Conflicts:
src/or/or.h
src/or/relay.c
Conflicts were simple to resolve. More fixes were needed for
compilation, including: reinstating the tv_to_msec function, and renaming
*_conn_cells to *_chan_cells.
This is probably not an exploitable bug, since you would need to have
errno be a large negative value in the unix pluggable-transport launcher
case. Still, best avoided.
Fixes bug 9928; bugfix on 0.2.3.18-rc.
Better tests for upper bounds, and for failing cases.
Also, change the function's interface to take a buffer length rather
than a maximum length, and then NUL-terminate: functions that don't
NUL-terminate are trouble waiting to happen.
The only thing that used format_helper_exit_status on win32 was the
unit tests. This caused an error when we tried to leave a static
format_helper_exit_status lying around in a production object file.
The easiest solution is to admit that this way of dealing with process
exit status is Unix-only.
We previously used FILENAME_PRIVATE identifiers mostly for
identifiers exposed only to the unit tests... but also for
identifiers exposed to the benchmarker, and sometimes for
identifiers exposed to a similar module, and occasionally for no
really good reason at all.
Now, we use FILENAME_PRIVATE identifiers for identifiers shared by
Tor and the unit tests. They should be defined static when we
aren't building the unit test, and globally visible otherwise. (The
STATIC macro will keep us honest here.)
For identifiers used only by the unit tests and never by Tor at all,
on the other hand, we wrap them in #ifdef TOR_UNIT_TESTS.
This is not the motivating use case for the split test/non-test
build system; it's just a test example to see how it works, and to
take a chance to clean up the code a little.
Without this patch, there's no way to know what went wrong when we
fail to parse a torrc line entirely (that is, we can't turn it into
a K,V pair.) This patch introduces a new function that yields an
error message on failure, so we can at least tell the user what to
look for in their nonfunctional torrc.
(Actually, it's the same function as before with a new name:
parse_config_line_from_str is now a wrapper macro that the unit
tests use.)
Fixes bug 7950; fix on 0.2.0.16-alpha (58de695f90) which first
introduced the possibility of a torrc value not parsing correctly.
- Document the key=value format.
- Constify equal_sign_pos.
- Pass some strings that are about to be logged to escape().
- Update documentation and fix some bugs in tor_escape_str_for_socks_arg().
- Use string_is_key_value() in parse_bridge_line().
- Parenthesize a forgotten #define
- Add some more comments.
- Add some more unit test cases.
