Two things needed to be changed. First, we used to set quiet_level
to the default (QUIET_NONE) when running tests, since we would not
call anything that acted based upon it. But since we sometimes call
options_init_logs(), we need to pre-set quiet_level to QUIET_SILENT
in the logs so that we don't add the default logs. This did not
cause test failure: just unwanted logs.
Second, we had a test that checked whether options_validate was
messing with options->Logs correctly. Since options_validate no
longer messes with the logs, we no longer want a test for this.
Formerly, we would use quiet_level as an excuse to rewrite the log
configuration, adding a default log line if none existed, and if
RunAsDaemon was not set, and if we were not being invoked via
setconf (!).
This is against our best practices for several reasons:
* We should not be changing configured options except when the
user tells us to do so.
* We should especially not be changing options in the options_validate
function.
* Distinguishing whether we are being called from setconf adds a
risky special-case.
Instead, this patch take a simpler approach: it changes the
interpretation of having no logging lines set to mean: If there is a
stdout, add a default log based on quiet_level.
Solves ticket 31999.
We used to have this function so that we could mark our initial
log-to-stdout as specifically temporary so that we would delete it
once regular logs were configured. But it's no longer necessary to
mark these logs as temporary, since we now use a mark-and-sweep
process to ensure that _all_ not-configured logs are closed when we
change our configuration.
Instead, this function will be the basis of a refactoring in how we
handle default logs.
Previously this was done with a big list of options in main.c which
implied "hush" or "quiet". One of these options ("--digests") no
longer existed, but we still checked for it.
Now we use the table of command-line-only arguments to set this
value.
Previously these were implemented with a search in
options_init_from_torrc(), but that led to each option being
declared more than needed: once to say that it was a valid option,
and once to say what it meant.
