When configure tor with --enable-bufferevents and
--enable-static-libevent, libevent_openssl would still be linked
dynamically. Fix this and refactor src/or/Makefile.am along the way.
Autoconf adds -g -O2 by default, so adding it ourselves is not required.
It also caused a warning with clang for every source file, so remove it
here. Fixes last issue of ticket 2696.
- When compiling using clang (2.9 or lower) do not enable
-Wnormalized=id or -Woverride-init when --enable-gcc-warnings
or --enable-gcc-warnings-advisory is set as these options
are unsupported.
C99 allows a syntax for structures whose last element is of
unspecified length:
struct s {
int elt1;
...
char last_element[];
};
Recent (last-5-years) autoconf versions provide an
AC_C_FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER test that defines FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER
to either no tokens (if you have c99 flexible array support) or to 1
(if you don't). At that point you just use offsetof
[STRUCT_OFFSET() for us] to see where last_element begins, and
allocate your structures like:
struct s {
int elt1;
...
char last_element[FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER];
};
tor_malloc(STRUCT_OFFSET(struct s, last_element) +
n_elements*sizeof(char));
The advantages are:
1) It's easier to see which structures and elements are of
unspecified length.
2) The compiler and related checking tools can also see which
structures and elements are of unspecified length, in case they
wants to try weird bounds-checking tricks or something.
3) The compiler can warn us if we do something dumb, like try
to stack-allocate a flexible-length structure.
Having very long single lines with lots and lots of things in them
tends to make files hard to diff and hard to merge. Since our tools
are one-line-at-a-time, we should try to construct lists that way too,
within reason.
This incidentally turned up a few headers in configure.in that we were
for some reason searching for twice.
We decided to no longer ship expert packages for OS X because they're a
lot of trouble to keep maintained and confuse users. For those who want
a tor on OS X without Vidalia, macports is a fine option. Alternatively,
building from source is easy, too.
The polipo stuff that is still required for the Vidalia bundle build can
now be found in the torbrowser repository,
git://git.torproject.org/torbrowser.git.
When configuring with --enable-gcc-warnings, we use -Wformat=2 which
automatically enables the available -Wformat switches, so adding them
again in the --enable-gcc-hardening case doesn't make sense..
We used to enable ssp-buffer-size=1 only when building with
--enable-gcc-warnings. That would result in warnings (and no
protection for small arrays) when building with
--enable-gcc-hardening without enabling warnings, too. Fixes bug
2031.
Also remove an XXX: We now allow to build with -fstack-protector
by using --enable-gcc-hardening.
Currently the unit tests test_util_spawn_background_* assume that they
are run from the Tor build directory. This is not the case when running
make distcheck, so the test will fail. This problem is fixed by autoconf
setting BUILDDIR to be the root of the Tor build directory, and this
preprocessor variable being used to specify the absolute path to
test-child. Also, in test-child, do not print out argv[0] because this will
no longer be predictable. Found by Sebastian Hahn.
* MINIUPNPC rather than the generic UPNP
* Nick suggested a better abstraction model for tor-fw-helper
* Fix autoconf to build with either natpmp or miniupnpc
* Add AM_PROG_CC_C_O to fix automake complaint
* update spec to address nickm's concern
* refactor nat-pmp to match upnp state
* we prefer tor_snprintf to snprintf
* link properlty for tor_snprintf
* rename test_commandline_options to log_commandline_options
* cast this uint as an int
* detect possible FD_SETSIZE errors
* make note about future enhancements for natpmp
* add upnp enhancement note
* ChangeLog entry
* doxygen and check-spaces cleanup
* create tor-fw-helper.1.txt
tor-fw-helper is a command-line tool to wrap and abstract various
firewall port-forwarding tools.
This commit matches the state of Jacob's tor-fw-helper branch as of
23 September 2010.

This is needed for IOCP, since telling the IOCP backend about all
your CPUs is a good idea. It'll also come in handy with asn's
multithreaded crypto stuff, and for people who run servers without
reading the manual.
