GCC added an implicit-fallthrough warning a while back, where it
would complain if you had a nontrivial "case:" block that didn't end
with break, return, or something like that. Clang recently added
the same thing.
GCC, however, would let you annotate a fall-through as intended by
any of various magic "/* fall through */" comments. Clang, however,
only seems to like "__attribute__((fallthrough))". Fortunately, GCC
accepts that too.
A previous commit in this branch defined a FALLTHROUGH macro to do
the right thing if GNUC is defined; here we replace all of our "fall
through" comments with uses of that macro.
This is an automated commit, made with the following perl one-liner:
#!/usr/bin/perl -i -p
s#/\* *falls? ?thr.*?\*/#FALLTHROUGH;#i;
(In order to avoid conflicts, I'm applying this script separately to
each maint branch. This is the 0.4.2 version.)
Previously, we would decode the PEM wrapper for keys twice: once in
get_next_token, and once later in PEM decode. Now we just do all of
the wrapper and base64 stuff in get_next_token, and store the
base64-decoded part in the token object for keys and non-keys alike.
This change should speed up parsing slightly by letting us skip a
bunch of stuff in crypto_pk_read_*from_string(), including the tag
detection parts of pem_decode(), and an extra key allocation and
deallocation pair.
Retaining the base64-decoded part in the token object will allow us
to speed up our microdesc parsing, since it is the asn1 portion that
we actually want to retain.
The strcmp_len() function was somewhat misconceived, since we're
only using it to test whether a length+extent string is equal to a
NUL-terminated string or not. By simplifying it and making it
inlined, we should be able to make it a little faster.
(It *does* show up in profiles.)
Closes ticket 28856.
I believe we originally added this for "just in case" safety, but it
isn't actually needed -- we never copy uninitialized stack here.
What's more, this one memset is showing up on our startup profiles,
so we ought to remove it.
Closes ticket 28852.
