Although bufferevent operations are threadsafe, sometimes you need
to make sure that a few operations on a single bufferevent will all
be executed with nothing intervening. That's what these functions
are for.
Previously, our autogen.sh script wouldn't tell automake to update
older versions of its copied-in scripts, which would cause problems if
they got sufficiently out-of-date.
(The existing implementation had sanity-checking code for the case where
its argument was NULL, but it erroneously dereferenced it before actually
doing the sanity-check. --nickm)
On all the backends on this little mac laptop, that behavior is to
report a remote socket close as both EV_READ and EV_WRITE.
Historically, we had problem for some of these behaviors on some
backends, so let's make sure that such behaviors don't come back.
The old logic made sense back when buffer.c was an enormous linear
buffer, but it doesn't make any sense for the chain-based
implementation.
This patch also refactors the ioctl{socket}? call into its own function.
The current template...
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>%s</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>Method Not Implemented</H1>
Invalid method in request<P>
</BODY></HTML>
is highly confusing. The given title is easily overlooked and the
hard-coded content is just plain wrong in most cases (I really read
this as "the server did not understand the requested HTTP method)
This patch changes the template to include the error reason in the
body as well as in the header, and to infer the proper reason from
the status code whenever the reason argument is NULL.
This patch also removes a redundant evhttp_add_header from
evhttp_send_error; evhttp_send_page already adds a "Connection:
close" header.
The default behavior of test.sh was to suppress all output from
test/regress, and say nothing but OKAY or FAILED. This wasn't so good
for getting bugs reported, since lots of people didn't know to set
TEST_OUTPUT_FILE, or re-run ./test/regress on its own.
Now, when you don't specify an output file for test.sh, it runs
regress with the --quiet option. This option makes the unit tests
only print output on failure, which is what we probably wanted.
If Libevent uses strcpy, even safely, it seems OpenBSD's linker will
complain every time a library links Libevent. It's easier just not to
use the old thing, even when it's safe to do so.
The new options let you specify a maximum deviation of bandwidth used
from expected bandwidth used, and make test-ratelim.c exit with a
nonzero status when those deviations are violated.
This patch also adds a test-ratelim.sh script to run test-ratelim with
a few sensible options for testing.
This attribute tells gcc (and anything else that understands gcc
attributes) that the functions will never return control, and helps
the optimizer a little. With luck, it will also tell
less-than-full-program dataflow analysis tools that they don't need to
worry about any code path that involves calling one of these functions
and then returning.
This patch also forces event_exit() to always exit, no matter what the
user-supplied fatal_callback does. This means that the old unit tests
for the event_err* functions don't work any more, since they assume it
is safe to call event_err* if you've given it a bogus fatal_callback
that doesn't exit. Instead, we have to make the unit tests fork
before calling event_err(), and have the main unit test process wait
for the event_err() test to exit with a sane exit code. On unix,
that's trivial. On windows, let's not bother and just assume that
event_err* works.
These were added in 2.0.1, and deprecated in 2.0.4 and 2.0.5; we've
promised that they would be removed, and warned whenever they were
invoked. Users should call evthread_set_lock_callbacks instead... or
ideally just call evthread_use_windows_threads or
evthread_use_pthreads.
Issue 1: autoconf gets accept when a header works properly with cpp
but not with cc. This was true of the sys/sysctl.h header on
openbsd. The fix: include sys/param.h (if present) when testing for
sys/sysctl.h
Issue 2: Somehow, autoconf's macro generation code is messed up on
some versions of openbsd (including mine, and other people's too) so
that instead of SIZEOF_VOID_P, it makes SIZEOF_VOID__.
evutil/util.h now works around that.
It turns out that _REENTRANT isn't only needed to make certain
functions visible; we also need it to make pthreads work properly
some places (like Solaris, where forgetting _REENTRANT basically
means that all threads are sharing the same errno). Fortunately,
our ACX_PTHREAD() configure macro already gives us a PTHREAD_CFLAG
variable, so all we have to do is use it.
It turns out that in all conformant shells, "unset FOO" removes FOO
both from the shell's variables and from the exported environment.
(I've tested this on msys, opensolaris, linux, osx, and freebsd.)
And in nearly every shell I can find, "unset FOO; export FOO" does
the same as unset FOO... except in my FreeBSD VM, where the "export
FOO" sets the exported value of FOO equal to "". This broke test.sh
for us.
The fix is simple: remove the needless exports!
This required:
- Adding another WIN32 section in test.sh
- not running "touch /dev/null"
- calling WSAStartup in all the test binaries
- Fixing a dumb windows-only bug in test-time.c
Everybody else thinks that when you getaddrinfo() on an ip address
and don't specify the protocol and the socktype, it should give you
multiple answers , one for each protocol/socktype implementation.
OpenSolaris takes a funny view of RFC3493, and leaves the results set
to 0.
This patch post-processes the getaddrinfo() results for consistency.
