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.
- Responsibility of clearing hex_errno is no longer with caller
- More conservative bounds checking
- Length requirement of hex_errno documented
- Output format documented
We want to make sure that we don't break old torrc files that might have
used something like this made-up example:
ContactInfo UberUser <uber@user.com> # /// Fake email! \\\
Log info file /home/nick.mathewson/projects/tor-info.log
And we also want to support the following style of writing your torrc:
ExcludeNodes \
# Node1337 is run by the Bavarian Illuminati
Node1337, \
# The operator of Node99 looked at me funny
Node99
The code already handles both cases, but the unit test should help prove
it.
This function uses GetSystemDirectory() to make sure we load the version
of the library from c:\windows\system32 (or local equivalent) rather than
whatever version lives in the cwd.
asprintf() is a GNU extension that some BSDs have picked up: it does a printf
into a newly allocated chunk of RAM.
Our tor_asprintf() differs from standard asprintf() in that:
- Like our other malloc functions, it asserts on OOM.
- It works on windows.
- It always sets its return-field.
I believe that since we were allocating *cp while holding a mutex,
coverity deduced that *cp must be protected by that mutex, and later
flipped out when we didn't use it that way. If this is so, we can
solve our problems by moving the *cp = tor_strdup(buf) part outside of
the mutex-protected code.
We do this in too many places throughout the code; it's time to start
clamping down.
Also, refactor Karsten's patch to use strchr-then-strndup, rather than
malloc-then-strlcpy-then-strchr-then-clear.
