This is a sweeping change applied across the whole code base by a spot of Emacs Lisp. Now, everywhere I declare a vtable filled with function pointers (and the occasional const data member), all the members of the vtable structure are initialised by name using the '.fieldname = value' syntax introduced in C99. We were already using this syntax for a handful of things in the new key-generation progress report system, so it's not new to the code base as a whole. The advantage is that now, when a vtable only declares a subset of the available fields, I can initialise the rest to NULL or zero just by leaving them out. This is most dramatic in a couple of the outlying vtables in things like psocks (which has a ConnectionLayerVtable containing only one non-NULL method), but less dramatically, it means that the new 'flags' field in BackendVtable can be completely left out of every backend definition except for the SUPDUP one which defines it to a nonzero value. Similarly, the test_for_upstream method only used by SSH doesn't have to be mentioned in the rest of the backends; network Plugs for listening sockets don't have to explicitly null out 'receive' and 'sent', and vice versa for 'accepting', and so on. While I'm at it, I've normalised the declarations so they don't use the unnecessarily verbose 'struct' keyword. Also a handful of them weren't const; now they are.

Sometimes, within a switch statement, you want to declare local variables specific to the handler for one particular case. Until now I've mostly been writing this in the form switch (discriminant) { case SIMPLE: do stuff; break; case COMPLICATED: { declare variables; do stuff; } break; } which is ugly because the two pieces of essentially similar code appear at different indent levels, and also inconvenient because you have less horizontal space available to write the complicated case handler in - particuarly undesirable because _complicated_ case handlers are the ones most likely to need all the space they can get! After encountering a rather nicer idiom in the LLVM source code, and after a bit of hackery this morning figuring out how to persuade Emacs's auto-indent to do what I wanted with it, I've decided to move to an idiom in which the open brace comes right after the case statement, and the code within it is indented the same as it would have been without the brace. Then the whole case handler (including the break) lives inside those braces, and you get something that looks more like this: switch (discriminant) { case SIMPLE: do stuff; break; case COMPLICATED: { declare variables; do stuff; break; } } This commit is a big-bang change that reformats all the complicated case handlers I could find into the new layout. This is particularly nice in the Pageant main function, in which almost _every_ case handler had a bundle of variables and was long and complicated. (In fact that's what motivated me to get round to this.) Some of the innermost parts of the terminal escape-sequence handling are also breathing a bit easier now the horizontal pressure on them is relieved. (Also, in a few cases, I was able to remove the extra braces completely, because the only variable local to the case handler was a loop variable which our new C99 policy allows me to move into the initialiser clause of its for statement.) Viewed with whitespace ignored, this is not too disruptive a change. Downstream patches that conflict with it may need to be reapplied using --ignore-whitespace or similar.

Apparently a handful of calls to that particular function managed to miss my big-bang conversion to using bool where appropriate, and were still being called with constants 0 and 1.

In the variable-length address slot, the main SOCKS5 reply packet can contain a binary IP address (4- or 16-byte for v4/v6 respectively), or a string intended to be interpreted as a domain name. I was trying out the Python SOCKS5 proxy 'pproxy' today, which sends a string-typed reply if you send it a string-typed domain name to connect to. This caused me to notice that PuTTY mishandles the latter case, by failing to account for the prefix length byte of that string when computing the total size of the reply packet. So we would misinterpret the final byte of its reply packet as the initial byte of the actual connection, causing us to fail to recognise the SSH greeting.

The number of people has been steadily increasing who read our source code with an editor that thinks tab stops are 4 spaces apart, as opposed to the traditional tty-derived 8 that the PuTTY code expects. So I've been wondering for ages about just fixing it, and switching to a spaces-only policy throughout the code. And I recently found out about 'git blame -w', which should make this change not too disruptive for the purposes of source-control archaeology; so perhaps now is the time. While I'm at it, I've also taken the opportunity to remove all the trailing spaces from source lines (on the basis that git dislikes them, and is the only thing that seems to have a strong opinion one way or the other). Apologies to anyone downstream of this code who has complicated patch sets to rebase past this change. I don't intend it to be needed again.

I've only just noticed that it doesn't do anything at all! Almost every implementation of the Socket vtable provides a flush() method which does nothing, optionally with a comment explaining why it's OK to do nothing. The sole exception is the wrapper Proxy_Socket, which implements the method during its setup phase by setting a pending_flush flag, so that when its sub-socket is later created, it can call sk_flush on that. But since the sub-socket's sk_flush will do nothing, even that is completely pointless! Source control history says that sk_flush was introduced by Dave Hinton in 2001 (commit 7b0e0827), who was going to use it for some purpose involving the SSL Telnet support he was working on at the time. That SSL support was never finished, and its vestigial declarations in network.h were removed in 2015 (commit 42334b65). So sk_flush is just another vestige of that abandoned work, which I should have removed in the latter commit but overlooked.

Now that all the call sites are expecting a size_t instead of an int length field, it's no longer particularly difficult to make it actually return the pointer,length pair in the form of a ptrlen. It would be nice to say that simplifies call sites because those ptrlens can all be passed straight along to other ptrlen-consuming functions. Actually almost none of the call sites are like that _yet_, but this makes it possible to move them in that direction in future (as part of my general aim to migrate ptrlen-wards as much as I can). But also it's just nicer to keep the pointer and length together in one variable, and not have to declare them both in advance with two extra lines of boilerplate.

This is a general cleanup which has been overdue for some time: lots of length fields are now the machine word type rather than the (in practice) fixed 'int'.

Now the integer output value is never negative (because the condition that used to be signalled by setting it to -1 is now signalled by returning false from the actual function), which frees me to make it an unsigned type in an upcoming change.

uxnet.c's sk_namelookup and the sorting-key construction in pangofont_enum_fonts() were both using s[n]printf and strncpy into buffers that had no real need to be fixed-size; format_telnet_command and the GTK Event Log selection-data builder were doing their own sresize loops, but now we have strbuf they can just use that and save redoing the same work.

My normal habit these days, in new code, is to treat int and bool as _almost_ completely separate types. I'm still willing to use C's implicit test for zero on an integer (e.g. 'if (!blob.len)' is fine, no need to spell it out as blob.len != 0), but generally, if a variable is going to be conceptually a boolean, I like to declare it bool and assign to it using 'true' or 'false' rather than 0 or 1. PuTTY is an exception, because it predates the C99 bool, and I've stuck to its existing coding style even when adding new code to it. But it's been annoying me more and more, so now that I've decided C99 bool is an acceptable thing to require from our toolchain in the first place, here's a quite thorough trawl through the source doing 'boolification'. Many variables and function parameters are now typed as bool rather than int; many assignments of 0 or 1 to those variables are now spelled 'true' or 'false'. I managed this thorough conversion with the help of a custom clang plugin that I wrote to trawl the AST and apply heuristics to point out where things might want changing. So I've even managed to do a decent job on parts of the code I haven't looked at in years! To make the plugin's work easier, I pushed platform front ends generally in the direction of using standard 'bool' in preference to platform-specific boolean types like Windows BOOL or GTK's gboolean; I've left the platform booleans in places they _have_ to be for the platform APIs to work right, but variables only used by my own code have been converted wherever I found them. In a few places there are int values that look very like booleans in _most_ of the places they're used, but have a rarely-used third value, or a distinction between different nonzero values that most users don't care about. In these cases, I've _removed_ uses of 'true' and 'false' for the return values, to emphasise that there's something more subtle going on than a simple boolean answer: - the 'multisel' field in dialog.h's list box structure, for which the GTK front end in particular recognises a difference between 1 and 2 but nearly everything else treats as boolean - the 'urgent' parameter to plug_receive, where 1 vs 2 tells you something about the specific location of the urgent pointer, but most clients only care about 0 vs 'something nonzero' - the return value of wc_match, where -1 indicates a syntax error in the wildcard. - the return values from SSH-1 RSA-key loading functions, which use -1 for 'wrong passphrase' and 0 for all other failures (so any caller which already knows it's not loading an _encrypted private_ key can treat them as boolean) - term->esc_query, and the 'query' parameter in toggle_mode in terminal.c, which _usually_ hold 0 for ESC[123h or 1 for ESC[?123h, but can also hold -1 for some other intervening character that we don't support. In a few places there's an integer that I haven't turned into a bool even though it really _can_ only take values 0 or 1 (and, as above, tried to make the call sites consistent in not calling those values true and false), on the grounds that I thought it would make it more confusing to imply that the 0 value was in some sense 'negative' or bad and the 1 positive or good: - the return value of plug_accepting uses the POSIXish convention of 0=success and nonzero=error; I think if I made it bool then I'd also want to reverse its sense, and that's a job for a separate piece of work. - the 'screen' parameter to lineptr() in terminal.c, where 0 and 1 represent the default and alternate screens. There's no obvious reason why one of those should be considered 'true' or 'positive' or 'success' - they're just indices - so I've left it as int. ssh_scp_recv had particularly confusing semantics for its previous int return value: its call sites used '<= 0' to check for error, but it never actually returned a negative number, just 0 or 1. Now the function and its call sites agree that it's a bool. In a couple of places I've renamed variables called 'ret', because I don't like that name any more - it's unclear whether it means the return value (in preparation) for the _containing_ function or the return value received from a subroutine call, and occasionally I've accidentally used the same variable for both and introduced a bug. So where one of those got in my way, I've renamed it to 'toret' or 'retd' (the latter short for 'returned') in line with my usual modern practice, but I haven't done a thorough job of finding all of them. Finally, one amusing side effect of doing this is that I've had to separate quite a few chained assignments. It used to be perfectly fine to write 'a = b = c = TRUE' when a,b,c were int and TRUE was just a the 'true' defined by stdbool.h, that idiom provokes a warning from gcc: 'suggest parentheses around assignment used as truth value'!

I think this is the full set of things that ought logically to be boolean. One annoyance is that quite a few radio-button controls in config.c address Conf fields that are now bool rather than int, which means that the shared handler function can't just access them all with conf_{get,set}_int. Rather than back out the rigorous separation of int and bool in conf.c itself, I've just added a similar alternative handler function for the bool-typed ones.

This commit includes <stdbool.h> from defs.h and deletes my traditional definitions of TRUE and FALSE, but other than that, it's a 100% mechanical search-and-replace transforming all uses of TRUE and FALSE into the C99-standardised lowercase spellings. No actual types are changed in this commit; that will come next. This is just getting the noise out of the way, so that subsequent commits can have a higher proportion of signal.

LogContext is now the owner of the logevent() function that back ends and so forth are constantly calling. Previously, logevent was owned by the Frontend, which would store the message into its list for the GUI Event Log dialog (or print it to standard error, or whatever) and then pass it _back_ to LogContext to write to the currently open log file. Now it's the other way round: LogContext gets the message from the back end first, writes it to its log file if it feels so inclined, and communicates it back to the front end. This means that lots of parts of the back end system no longer need to have a pointer to a full-on Frontend; the only thing they needed it for was logging, so now they just have a LogContext (which many of them had to have anyway, e.g. for logging SSH packets or session traffic). LogContext itself also doesn't get a full Frontend pointer any more: it now talks back to the front end via a little vtable of its own called LogPolicy, which contains the method that passes Event Log entries through, the old askappend() function that decides whether to truncate a pre-existing log file, and an emergency function for printing an especially prominent message if the log file can't be created. One minor nice effect of this is that console and GUI apps can implement that last function subtly differently, so that Unix console apps can write it with a plain \n instead of the \r\n (harmless but inelegant) that the old centralised implementation generated. One other consequence of this is that the LogContext has to be provided to backend_init() so that it's available to backends from the instant of creation, rather than being provided via a separate API call a couple of function calls later, because backends have typically started doing things that need logging (like making network connections) before the call to backend_provide_logctx. Fortunately, there's no case in the whole code base where we don't already have logctx by the time we make a backend (so I don't actually remember why I ever delayed providing one). So that shortens the backend API by one function, which is always nice. While I'm tidying up, I've also moved the printf-style logeventf() and the handy logevent_and_free() into logging.c, instead of having copies of them scattered around other places. This has also let me remove some stub functions from a couple of outlying applications like Pageant. Finally, I've removed the pointless "_tag" at the end of LogContext's official struct name.

Ian Jackson points out that the Linux kernel has a macro of this name with the same purpose, and suggests that it's a good idea to use the same name as they do, so that at least some people reading one code base might recognise it from the other. I never really thought very hard about what order FROMFIELD's parameters should go in, and therefore I'm pleasantly surprised to find that my order agrees with the kernel's, so I don't have to permute every call site as part of making this change :-)

I don't actually know why this was ever here; it appeared in the very first commit that invented Plug in the first place (7b0e0827) without explanation. Perhaps Dave's original idea was that sometimes you'd need those macros _not_ to be defined so that the same names could be reused as the methods for a particular Plug instance? But I don't think that ever actually happened, and the code base builds just fine with those macros defined unconditionally just like all the other sets of method macros we now have, so let's get rid of this piece of cruft that was apparently unnecessary all along.

All the main backend structures - Ssh, Telnet, Pty, Serial etc - now describe structure types themselves rather than pointers to them. The same goes for the codebase-wide trait types Socket and Plug, and the supporting types SockAddr and Pinger. All those things that were typedefed as pointers are older types; the newer ones have the explicit * at the point of use, because that's what I now seem to be preferring. But whichever one of those is better, inconsistently using a mixture of the two styles is worse, so let's make everything consistent. A few types are still implicitly pointers, such as Bignum and some of the GSSAPI types; generally this is either because they have to be void *, or because they're typedefed differently on different platforms and aren't always pointers at all. Can't be helped. But I've got rid of the main ones, at least.

This is another major source of unexplained 'void *' parameters throughout the code. In particular, the currently unused testback.c actually gave the wrong pointer type to its internal store of the frontend handle - it cast the input void * to a Terminal *, from which it got implicitly cast back again when calling from_backend, and nobody noticed. Now it uses the right type internally as well as externally.

Now I've got FROMFIELD, I can rework it so that structures providing an implementation of the Socket or Plug trait no longer have to have the vtable pointer as the very first thing in the structure. In particular, this means that the ProxySocket structure can now directly implement _both_ the Socket and Plug traits, which is always _logically_ how it's worked, but previously it had to be implemented via two separate structs linked to each other.

This is a cleanup I started to notice a need for during the BinarySink work. It removes a lot of faffing about casting things to char * or unsigned char * so that some API will accept them, even though lots of such APIs really take a plain 'block of raw binary data' argument and don't care what C thinks the signedness of that data might be - they may well reinterpret it back and forth internally. So I've tried to arrange for all the function call APIs that ought to have a void * (or const void *) to have one, and those that need to do pointer arithmetic on the parameter internally can cast it back at the top of the function. That saves endless ad-hoc casts at the call sites.

I've defined a new value for the 'int type' parameter passed to plug_log(), which proxy sockets will use to pass their backend information on how the setup of their proxied connections are going. I've implemented support for the new type code in all _nontrivial_ plug log functions (which, conveniently, are precisely the ones I just refactored into backend_socket_log); the ones which just throw all their log data away anyway will do that to the new code as well. We use the new type code to log the DNS lookup and connection setup for connecting to a networked proxy, and also to log the exact command string sent down Telnet proxy connections (so the user can easily debug mistakes in the configured format string) and the exact command executed when spawning a local proxy process. (The latter was already supported on Windows by a bodgy logging call taking advantage of Windows in particular having no front end pointer; I've converted that into a sensible use of the new plug_log facility, and done the same thing on Unix.)

We've always had the back-end code unconditionally print 'Looking up host' before calling name_lookup. But name_lookup doesn't always do an actual lookup - in cases where the connection will be proxied and we're configured to let the proxy do the DNS for us, it just calls sk_nonamelookup to return a dummy SockAddr with the unresolved name still in it. It's better to print a message that varies depending on whether we're _really_ doing DNS or not, e.g. so that people can tell the difference between DNS failure and proxy misconfiguration. Hence, those log messages are now generated inside name_lookup(), which takes a couple of extra parameters for the purpose - a frontend pointer to pass to logevent(), and a reason string so that it can say what the hostname it's (optionally) looking up is going to be used for. (The latter is intended for possible use in logging subsidiary lookups for port forwarding, though the moment I haven't changed the current setup where those connection setups aren't logged in detail - we just pass NULL in that situation.)

When anyone connects to a PuTTY tool's listening socket - whether it's a user of a local->remote port forwarding, a connection-sharing downstream or a client of Pageant - we'd like to log as much information as we can find out about where the connection came from. To that end, I've implemented a function sk_peer_info() in the socket abstraction, which returns a freeform text string as best it can (or NULL, if it can't get anything at all) describing the thing at the other end of the connection. For TCP connections, this is done using getpeername() to get an IP address and port in the obvious way; for Unix-domain sockets, we attempt SO_PEERCRED (conditionalised on some moderately hairy autoconfery) to get the pid and owner of the peer. I haven't implemented anything for Windows named pipes, but I will if I hear of anything useful. (cherry picked from commit c8f83979) Conflicts: pageant.c Cherry-picker's notes: the conflict was because the original commit also added a use of the same feature in the centralised Pageant code, which doesn't exist on this branch. Also I had to remove 'const' from the type of the second parameter to wrap_send_port_open(), since this branch hasn't had the same extensive const-fixing as master.

Having found a lot of unfixed constness issues in recent development, I thought perhaps it was time to get proactive, so I compiled the whole codebase with -Wwrite-strings. That turned up a huge load of const problems, which I've fixed in this commit: the Unix build now goes cleanly through with -Wwrite-strings, and the Windows build is as close as I could get it (there are some lingering issues due to occasional Windows API functions like AcquireCredentialsHandle not having the right constness). Notable fallout beyond the purely mechanical changing of types: - the stuff saved by cmdline_save_param() is now explicitly dupstr()ed, and freed in cmdline_run_saved. - I couldn't make both string arguments to cmdline_process_param() const, because it intentionally writes to one of them in the case where it's the argument to -pw (in the vain hope of being at least slightly friendly to 'ps'), so elsewhere I had to temporarily dupstr() something for the sake of passing it to that function - I had to invent a silly parallel version of const_cmp() so I could pass const string literals in to lookup functions. - stripslashes() in pscp.c and psftp.c has the annoying strchr nature

The basic strategy is described at the top of the new source file sshshare.c. In very brief: an 'upstream' PuTTY opens a Unix-domain socket or Windows named pipe, and listens for connections from other PuTTYs wanting to run sessions on the same server. The protocol spoken down that socket/pipe is essentially the bare ssh-connection protocol, using a trivial binary packet protocol with no encryption, and the upstream has to do some fiddly transformations that I've been referring to as 'channel-number NAT' to avoid resource clashes between the sessions it's managing. This is quite different from OpenSSH's approach of using the Unix- domain socket as a means of passing file descriptors around; the main reason for that is that fd-passing is Unix-specific but this system has to work on Windows too. However, there are additional advantages, such as making it easy for each downstream PuTTY to run its own independent set of port and X11 forwardings (though the method for making the latter work is quite painful). Sharing is off by default, but configuration is intended to be very easy in the normal case - just tick one box in the SSH config panel and everything else happens automatically.

It was only actually used in X11 and port forwarding, to find internal state structures given only the Socket that ssh.c held. So now that that lookup has been reworked to be the sensible way round, private_ptr is no longer used for anything and can be removed. [originally from svn r10075]
