Raw Normal View History

Compatibility with older versions of cmake. After this change, the cmake setup now works even on Debian stretch (oldoldstable), which runs cmake 3.7. In order to support a version that early I had to: - write a fallback implementation of 'add_compile_definitions' for older cmakes, which is easy, because add_compile_definitions(FOO) is basically just add_compile_options(-DFOO) - stop using list(TRANSFORM) and string(JOIN), of which I had one case each, and they were easily replaced with simple foreach loops - stop putting OBJECT libraries in the target_link_libraries command for executable targets, in favour of adding $<TARGET_OBJECTS:foo> to the main sources list for the same target. That matches what I do with library targets, so it's probably more sensible anyway. I tried going back by another Debian release and getting this cmake setup to work on jessie, but that runs CMake 3.0.1, and in _that_ version of cmake the target_sources command is missing, and I didn't find any alternative way to add extra sources to a target after having first declared it. Reorganising to cope with _that_ omission would be too much upheaval without a very good reason.

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.7)
Replace mkfiles.pl with a CMake build system. This brings various concrete advantages over the previous system: - consistent support for out-of-tree builds on all platforms - more thorough support for Visual Studio IDE project files - support for Ninja-based builds, which is particularly useful on Windows where the alternative nmake has no parallel option - a really simple set of build instructions that work the same way on all the major platforms (look how much shorter README is!) - better decoupling of the project configuration from the toolchain configuration, so that my Windows cross-building doesn't need (much) special treatment in CMakeLists.txt - configure-time tests on Windows as well as Linux, so that a lot of ad-hoc #ifdefs second-guessing a particular feature's presence from the compiler version can now be replaced by tests of the feature itself Also some longer-term software-engineering advantages: - other people have actually heard of CMake, so they'll be able to produce patches to the new build setup more easily - unlike the old mkfiles.pl, CMake is not my personal problem to maintain - most importantly, mkfiles.pl was just a horrible pile of unmaintainable cruft, which even I found it painful to make changes to or to use, and desperately needed throwing in the bin. I've already thrown away all the variants of it I had in other projects of mine, and was only delaying this one so we could make the 0.75 release branch first. This change comes with a noticeable build-level restructuring. The previous Recipe worked by compiling every object file exactly once, and then making each executable by linking a precisely specified subset of the same object files. But in CMake, that's not the natural way to work - if you write the obvious command that puts the same source file into two executable targets, CMake generates a makefile that compiles it once per target. That can be an advantage, because it gives you the freedom to compile it differently in each case (e.g. with a #define telling it which program it's part of). But in a project that has many executable targets and had carefully contrived to _never_ need to build any module more than once, all it does is bloat the build time pointlessly! To avoid slowing down the build by a large factor, I've put most of the modules of the code base into a collection of static libraries organised vaguely thematically (SSH, other backends, crypto, network, ...). That means all those modules can still be compiled just once each, because once each library is built it's reused unchanged for all the executable targets. One upside of this library-based structure is that now I don't have to manually specify exactly which objects go into which programs any more - it's enough to specify which libraries are needed, and the linker will figure out the fine detail automatically. So there's less maintenance to do in CMakeLists.txt when the source code changes. But that reorganisation also adds fragility, because of the trad Unix linker semantics of walking along the library list once each, so that cyclic references between your libraries will provoke link errors. The current setup builds successfully, but I suspect it only just manages it. (In particular, I've found that MinGW is the most finicky on this score of the Windows compilers I've tried building with. So I've included a MinGW test build in the new-look Buildscr, because otherwise I think there'd be a significant risk of introducing MinGW-only build failures due to library search order, which wasn't a risk in the previous library-free build organisation.) In the longer term I hope to be able to reduce the risk of that, via gradual reorganisation (in particular, breaking up too-monolithic modules, to reduce the risk of knock-on references when you included a module for function A and it also contains function B with an unsatisfied dependency you didn't really need). Ideally I want to reach a state in which the libraries all have sensibly described purposes, a clearly documented (partial) order in which they're permitted to depend on each other, and a specification of what stubs you have to put where if you're leaving one of them out (e.g. nocrypto) and what callbacks you have to define in your non-library objects to satisfy dependencies from things low in the stack (e.g. out_of_memory()). One thing that's gone completely missing in this migration, unfortunately, is the unfinished MacOS port linked against Quartz GTK. That's because it turned out that I can't currently build it myself, on my own Mac: my previous installation of GTK had bit-rotted as a side effect of an Xcode upgrade, and I haven't yet been able to persuade jhbuild to make me a new one. So I can't even build the MacOS port with the _old_ makefiles, and hence, I have no way of checking that the new ones also work. I hope to bring that port back to life at some point, but I don't want it to block the rest of this change.

project(putty LANGUAGES C)
CMakeLists.txt: explicitly ask for C99. A user just reported that 0.79 doesn't build out of the box on Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty), because although its gcc (4.8.4) does _support_ C99, it doesn't enable it without a non-default -std option. The user was able to work around the problem by defining CMAKE_C_FLAGS=-std=gnu99, but it would have been nicer if we'd done that automatically. Setting CMAKE_C_STANDARD causes cmake to do so. (This isn't a regression of 0.79 over 0.78 as far as I know; the user in question said they had last built 0.76.) I was surprised to find Ubuntu 14.04 still in use at all, but a quick web search revealed that its support has been extended until next year, so fair enough, I suppose. It's also running a cmake way older than we support, but apparently that can be worked around via Kitware's binary tarball downloads (which do still run on 14.04). This is a bit unsatisfactory: I'd prefer to ask for C standards support of _at least_ C99 level, and C11 if possible. Then I could test for the presence of C11 features via check_c_source_compiles, and use them opportunistically (e.g. in macro definitions). But as far as I can see, cmake has no built-in support for asking for a standards level of 'as new as you can get, but no older than 99'. Oh well. (In any case, the thing I'd find most useful from C11 is _Generic, and since that's in implementation namespace, compilers can - and do - support it in C99 mode anyway. So it's probably fine, at least for now.)

include(cmake/setup.cmake)
Add the man pages to the 'make install' target. doc/CMakeLists.txt now sets a variable indicating that we either have, or can build, each individual man page. And when we call our installed_program() function to mark a program as official enough to put in 'make install', that function also installs the man page similarly if it exists, and warns if not. For the convenience of people building-and-installing from the .tar.gz we ship, I've arranged that they can still get the man pages installed without needing Halibut: the previous commit ensured that the prebuilt man pages are still in the tarball, and this one arranges that if we don't have Halibut but we do have prebuilt man pages, then we can 'build' them by copying from the prebuilt versions.
2021-05-03 15:25:21 +00:00
# Scan the docs directory first, so that when we start calling
# installed_program(), we'll know if we have man pages available
Integrate the 'doc' subdir into the CMake system. The standalone separate doc/Makefile is gone, replaced by a CMakeLists.txt that makes 'doc' function as a subdirectory of the main CMake build system. This auto-detects Halibut, and if it's present, uses it to build the man pages and the various forms of the main manual, including the Windows CHM help file in particular. One awkward thing I had to do was to move just one config directive in blurb.but into its own file: the one that cites a relative path to the stylesheet file to put into the CHM. CMake builds often like to be out-of-tree, so there's no longer a fixed relative path between the build directory and chm.css. And Halibut has no concept of an include path to search for files cited by other files, so I can't fix that with an -I option on the Halibut command line. So I moved that single config directive into its own file, and had CMake write out a custom version of that file in the build directory citing the right path. (Perhaps in the longer term I should fix that omission in Halibut; out-of-tree friendliness seems like a useful feature. But even if I do, I still need this build to work now.)

add_subdirectory(doc)
Make cmake.h available everywhere. The definition of HAVE_CMAKE_H is now at the very top of the main CMakeLists.txt, so that it applies to all objects. And the consequent include of cmake.h is at the very top of defs.h, so that it should be included first by everything. This way, I don't have to worry any more that the HAVE_FOO definitions in cmake.h might accidentally have failed to reach some part of the code.

add_compile_definitions(HAVE_CMAKE_H)
Start a 'terminal' source subdirectory. This contains terminal.c, bidi.c (formerly minibidi.c), and terminal.h. I'm about to make a couple more bidi-related source files, so it seems worth starting by making a place to put them that won't be cluttering up the top level.

add_subdirectory(utils)
Reorganise the stubs collection. I made a specific subdirectory 'stubs' to keep all the link-time stub modules in, like notiming.c. And I put _one_ run-time stub in it, namely nullplug.c. But the rest of the runtime stubs went into utils. I think it's better to keep all the stubs together, so I've moved all the null*.c in utils into stubs (with the exception of nullstrcmp.c, which means the 'null' in a different sense). Also, fiddled with the naming to be a bit more consistent, and stated in the new CMakeLists the naming policy that distinguishes no-*.c from null-*.c.

Move proxy-related source files into a subdirectory. There are quite a few of them already, and I'm about to make another one, so let's start with a bit of tidying up. The CMake build organisation is unchanged: I haven't put the proxy object files into a separate library, just moved the locations of the source files. (Organising proxying as a library would be tricky anyway, because of the various overrides for tools that want to avoid cryptography.)

Move crypto into its own subdirectory. Similarly to 'utils', I've moved all the stuff in the crypto build-time library into a source directory of its own, and while I'm at it, split up the monolithic sshauxcrypt.c into its various unrelated parts. This is also an opportunity to remove the annoying 'ssh' prefix from the front of the file names, and give several of them less cryptic names.

Replace mkfiles.pl with a CMake build system. This brings various concrete advantages over the previous system: - consistent support for out-of-tree builds on all platforms - more thorough support for Visual Studio IDE project files - support for Ninja-based builds, which is particularly useful on Windows where the alternative nmake has no parallel option - a really simple set of build instructions that work the same way on all the major platforms (look how much shorter README is!) - better decoupling of the project configuration from the toolchain configuration, so that my Windows cross-building doesn't need (much) special treatment in CMakeLists.txt - configure-time tests on Windows as well as Linux, so that a lot of ad-hoc #ifdefs second-guessing a particular feature's presence from the compiler version can now be replaced by tests of the feature itself Also some longer-term software-engineering advantages: - other people have actually heard of CMake, so they'll be able to produce patches to the new build setup more easily - unlike the old mkfiles.pl, CMake is not my personal problem to maintain - most importantly, mkfiles.pl was just a horrible pile of unmaintainable cruft, which even I found it painful to make changes to or to use, and desperately needed throwing in the bin. I've already thrown away all the variants of it I had in other projects of mine, and was only delaying this one so we could make the 0.75 release branch first. This change comes with a noticeable build-level restructuring. The previous Recipe worked by compiling every object file exactly once, and then making each executable by linking a precisely specified subset of the same object files. But in CMake, that's not the natural way to work - if you write the obvious command that puts the same source file into two executable targets, CMake generates a makefile that compiles it once per target. That can be an advantage, because it gives you the freedom to compile it differently in each case (e.g. with a #define telling it which program it's part of). But in a project that has many executable targets and had carefully contrived to _never_ need to build any module more than once, all it does is bloat the build time pointlessly! To avoid slowing down the build by a large factor, I've put most of the modules of the code base into a collection of static libraries organised vaguely thematically (SSH, other backends, crypto, network, ...). That means all those modules can still be compiled just once each, because once each library is built it's reused unchanged for all the executable targets. One upside of this library-based structure is that now I don't have to manually specify exactly which objects go into which programs any more - it's enough to specify which libraries are needed, and the linker will figure out the fine detail automatically. So there's less maintenance to do in CMakeLists.txt when the source code changes. But that reorganisation also adds fragility, because of the trad Unix linker semantics of walking along the library list once each, so that cyclic references between your libraries will provoke link errors. The current setup builds successfully, but I suspect it only just manages it. (In particular, I've found that MinGW is the most finicky on this score of the Windows compilers I've tried building with. So I've included a MinGW test build in the new-look Buildscr, because otherwise I think there'd be a significant risk of introducing MinGW-only build failures due to library search order, which wasn't a risk in the previous library-free build organisation.) In the longer term I hope to be able to reduce the risk of that, via gradual reorganisation (in particular, breaking up too-monolithic modules, to reduce the risk of knock-on references when you included a module for function A and it also contains function B with an unsatisfied dependency you didn't really need). Ideally I want to reach a state in which the libraries all have sensibly described purposes, a clearly documented (partial) order in which they're permitted to depend on each other, and a specification of what stubs you have to put where if you're leaving one of them out (e.g. nocrypto) and what callbacks you have to define in your non-library objects to satisfy dependencies from things low in the stack (e.g. out_of_memory()). One thing that's gone completely missing in this migration, unfortunately, is the unfinished MacOS port linked against Quartz GTK. That's because it turned out that I can't currently build it myself, on my own Mac: my previous installation of GTK had bit-rotted as a side effect of an Xcode upgrade, and I haven't yet been able to persuade jhbuild to make me a new one. So I can't even build the MacOS port with the _old_ makefiles, and hence, I have no way of checking that the new ones also work. I hope to bring that port back to life at some point, but I don't want it to block the rest of this change.

Reorganise proxy system into coroutines. Previously, the proxy negotiation functions were written as explicit state machines, with ps->state being manually set to a sequence of positive integer values which would be tested by if statements in the next call to the same negotiation function. That's not how this code base likes to do things! We have a coroutine system to allow those state machines to be implicit rather than explicit, so that we can use ordinary control flow statements like while loops. Reorganised each proxy negotiation function into a coroutine-based system like that. While I'm at it, I've also moved each proxy negotiator out into its own source file, to make proxy.c less overcrowded and monolithic. And _that_ gave me the opportunity to define each negotiator as an implementation of a trait rather than as a single function - which means now each one can define its own local variables and have its own cleanup function, instead of all of them having to share the variables inside the main ProxySocket struct. In the new coroutine system, negotiators don't have to worry about the mechanics of actually sending data down the underlying Socket any more. The negotiator coroutine just appends to a bufchain (via a provided bufchain_sink), and after every call to the coroutine, central code in proxy.c transfers the data to the Socket itself. This avoids a lot of intermediate allocations within the negotiators, which previously kept having to make temporary strbufs or arrays in order to have something to point an sk_write() at; now they can just put formatted data directly into the output bufchain via the marshal.h interface. In this version of the code, I've also moved most of the SOCKS5 CHAP implementation from cproxy.c into socks5.c, so that it can sit in the same coroutine as the rest of the proxy negotiation control flow. That's because calling a sub-coroutine (co-subroutine?) is awkward to set up (though it is _possible_ - we do SSH-2 kex that way), and there's no real need to bother in this case, since the only thing that really needs to go in cproxy.c is the actual cryptography plus a flag to tell socks5.c whether to offer CHAP authentication in the first place.

Rewrite local-proxy system to allow interactive prompts. This fills in the remaining gap in the interactive prompt rework of the proxy system in general. If you used the Telnet proxy with a command containing %user or %pass, and hadn't filled in those variables in the PuTTY config, then proxy/telnet.c would prompt you at run time to enter the proxy auth details. But the local proxy command, which uses the same format_telnet_command function, would not do that. Now it does! I've implemented this by moving the formatting of the proxy command into a new module proxy/local.c, shared between both the Unix and Windows local-proxy implementations. That module implements a DeferredSocketOpener, which constructs the proxy command (prompting first if necessary), and once it's constructed, hands it to a per-platform function platform_setup_local_proxy(). So each platform-specific proxy function, instead of starting a subprocess there and then and passing its details to make_fd_socket or make_handle_socket, now returns a _deferred_ version of one of those sockets, with the DeferredSocketOpener being the thing in proxy/local.c. When that calls back to platform_setup_local_proxy(), we actually start the subprocess and pass the resulting fds/handles to the deferred socket to un-defer it. A side effect of the rewrite is that when proxy commands are logged in the Event Log, they now get the same amenities as in the Telnet proxy type: the proxy password is sanitised out, and any difficult characters are escaped.

New centralised version of local line editing. This takes over from both the implementation in ldisc.c and the one in term_get_userpass_input, which were imperfectly duplicating each other's functionality. The new version should be more consistent between the two already, and also, it means further improvements can now be made in just one place. In the course of this, I've restructured the inside of ldisc.c by moving the input_queue bufchain to the other side of the translation code in ldisc_send. Previously, ldisc_send received a string, an optional 'dedicated key' indication (bodgily signalled by a negative length) and an 'interactive' flag, translated that somehow into a combination of raw backend output and specials, and saved the latter in input_queue. Now it saves the original (string, dedicated flag, interactive flag) data in input_queue, and doesn't do the translation until the data is pulled back _out_ of the queue. That's because the new line editing system expects to receive something much closer to the original data format. The term_get_userpass_input system is also substantially restructured. Instead of ldisc.c handing each individual keystroke to terminal.c so that it can do line editing on it, terminal.c now just gives the Ldisc a pointer to its instance of the new TermLineEditor object - and then ldisc.c can put keystrokes straight into that, in the same way it would put them into its own TermLineEditor, without having to go via terminal.c at all. So the term_get_userpass_input edifice is only called back when the line editor actually delivers the answer to a username or password prompt. (I considered not _even_ having a separate TermLineEditor for password prompts, and just letting ldisc.c use its own. But the problem is that some of the behaviour differences between the two line editors are deliberate, for example the use of ^D to signal 'abort this prompt', and the use of Escape as an alternative line-clearing command. So TermLineEditor has a flags word that allows ldisc and terminal to set it up differently. Also this lets me give the two TermLineEditors a different vtable of callback functions, which is a convenient way for terminal.c to get notified when a prompt has been answered.) The new line editor still passes all the tests I wrote for the old one. But it already has a couple of important improvements, both in the area of UTF-8 handling: Firstly, when we display a UTF-8 character on the terminal, we check with the terminal how many character cells it occupied, and then if the user deletes it again from the editing buffer, we can emit the right number of backspace-space-backspace sequences. (The old ldisc line editor incorrectly assumed all Unicode characters had terminal with 1, partly because its buffer was byte- rather than character- oriented and so it was more than enough work just finding where the character _start_ was.) Secondly, terminal.c's userpass line editor would never emit a byte in the 80-BF range to the terminal at all, which meant that nontrivial UTF-8 characters always came out as U+FFFD blobs!

I think it's better to keep all the stubs together, so I've moved all the null*.c in utils into stubs (with the exception of nullstrcmp.c, which means the 'null' in a different sense). Also, fiddled with the naming to be a bit more consistent, and stated in the new CMakeLists the naming policy that distinguishes no-*.c from null-*.c.

So I've included a MinGW test build in the new-look Buildscr, because otherwise I think there'd be a significant risk of introducing MinGW-only build failures due to library search order, which wasn't a risk in the previous library-free build organisation.) In the longer term I hope to be able to reduce the risk of that, via gradual reorganisation (in particular, breaking up too-monolithic modules, to reduce the risk of knock-on references when you included a module for function A and it also contains function B with an unsatisfied dependency you didn't really need). Ideally I want to reach a state in which the libraries all have sensibly described purposes, a clearly documented (partial) order in which they're permitted to depend on each other, and a specification of what stubs you have to put where if you're leaving one of them out (e.g. nocrypto) and what callbacks you have to define in your non-library objects to satisfy dependencies from things low in the stack (e.g. out_of_memory()). One thing that's gone completely missing in this migration, unfortunately, is the unfinished MacOS port linked against Quartz GTK. That's because it turned out that I can't currently build it myself, on my own Mac: my previous installation of GTK had bit-rotted as a side effect of an Xcode upgrade, and I haven't yet been able to persuade jhbuild to make me a new one. So I can't even build the MacOS port with the _old_ makefiles, and hence, I have no way of checking that the new ones also work. I hope to bring that port back to life at some point, but I don't want it to block the rest of this change.

Replace mkfiles.pl with a CMake build system. This brings various concrete advantages over the previous system: - consistent support for out-of-tree builds on all platforms - more thorough support for Visual Studio IDE project files - support for Ninja-based builds, which is particularly useful on Windows where the alternative nmake has no parallel option - a really simple set of build instructions that work the same way on all the major platforms (look how much shorter README is!) - better decoupling of the project configuration from the toolchain configuration, so that my Windows cross-building doesn't need (much) special treatment in CMakeLists.txt - configure-time tests on Windows as well as Linux, so that a lot of ad-hoc #ifdefs second-guessing a particular feature's presence from the compiler version can now be replaced by tests of the feature itself Also some longer-term software-engineering advantages: - other people have actually heard of CMake, so they'll be able to produce patches to the new build setup more easily - unlike the old mkfiles.pl, CMake is not my personal problem to maintain - most importantly, mkfiles.pl was just a horrible pile of unmaintainable cruft, which even I found it painful to make changes to or to use, and desperately needed throwing in the bin. I've already thrown away all the variants of it I had in other projects of mine, and was only delaying this one so we could make the 0.75 release branch first. This change comes with a noticeable build-level restructuring. The previous Recipe worked by compiling every object file exactly once, and then making each executable by linking a precisely specified subset of the same object files. But in CMake, that's not the natural way to work - if you write the obvious command that puts the same source file into two executable targets, CMake generates a makefile that compiles it once per target. That can be an advantage, because it gives you the freedom to compile it differently in each case (e.g. with a #define telling it which program it's part of). But in a project that has many executable targets and had carefully contrived to _never_ need to build any module more than once, all it does is bloat the build time pointlessly! To avoid slowing down the build by a large factor, I've put most of the modules of the code base into a collection of static libraries organised vaguely thematically (SSH, other backends, crypto, network, ...). That means all those modules can still be compiled just once each, because once each library is built it's reused unchanged for all the executable targets. One upside of this library-based structure is that now I don't have to manually specify exactly which objects go into which programs any more - it's enough to specify which libraries are needed, and the linker will figure out the fine detail automatically. So there's less maintenance to do in CMakeLists.txt when the source code changes. But that reorganisation also adds fragility, because of the trad Unix linker semantics of walking along the library list once each, so that cyclic references between your libraries will provoke link errors.

Move other backends into a subdirectory. This is the last of the subdirectory creations I had planned. This one is almost too footling to bother with (it hardly declutters the top level very much). One useful side effect is that I've included testback.c (containing the null and loopback backends) in the otherbackends library, which means it will now actually be _compiled_ even when nothing's using it, and we'll spot bit-rot promptly when internal APIs change. (And, to prove the point, I've immediately had to fix some bit-rot.)

Move some tests into the test subdirectory. Now testcrypt has _two_ header files, that's more files than I want at the top level, so I decided to move it. It has a good claim to live in either 'test' or 'crypto', but in the end I decided it wasn't quite specific enough to crypto (it already also tests things in keygen and proxy), and also, the Python half of the mechanism already lives in 'test', so it can live alongside that. Having done that, it seemed silly to leave testsc and testzlib at the top level: those have 'test' in the names as well, so they can go in the test subdir as well. While I'm renaming, also renamed testcrypt.h to testcrypt-func.h to distinguish it from the new testcrypt-enum.h.

Certificate trust scope: change to a boolean-expression system. This replaces the previous placeholder scheme of having a list of hostname wildcards with implicit logical-OR semantics (if any wildcard matched then the certificate would be trusted to sign for that host). That scheme didn't allow for exceptions within a domain ('everything in example.com except extra-high-security-machine.example.com'), and also had no way to specify port numbers. In the new system, you can still write a hostname wildcard by itself in the simple case, but now those are just atomic subexpressions in a boolean-logic domain-specific language I've made up. So if you want multiple wildcards, you can separate them with || in a single longer expression, and also you can use && and ! to impose exceptions on top of that. Full details of the expression language are in the comment at the top of utils/cert-expr.c. It'll need documenting properly before release, of course. For the sake of backwards compatibility for early adopters who've already set up configuration in the old system, I've put in some code that will read the old MatchHosts configuration and automatically translate it into the equivalent boolean expression (by simply stringing together the list of wildcards with || between them).

New centralised version of local line editing. This takes over from both the implementation in ldisc.c and the one in term_get_userpass_input, which were imperfectly duplicating each other's functionality. The new version should be more consistent between the two already, and also, it means further improvements can now be made in just one place. In the course of this, I've restructured the inside of ldisc.c by moving the input_queue bufchain to the other side of the translation code in ldisc_send. Previously, ldisc_send received a string, an optional 'dedicated key' indication (bodgily signalled by a negative length) and an 'interactive' flag, translated that somehow into a combination of raw backend output and specials, and saved the latter in input_queue. Now it saves the original (string, dedicated flag, interactive flag) data in input_queue, and doesn't do the translation until the data is pulled back _out_ of the queue. That's because the new line editing system expects to receive something much closer to the original data format. The term_get_userpass_input system is also substantially restructured. Instead of ldisc.c handing each individual keystroke to terminal.c so that it can do line editing on it, terminal.c now just gives the Ldisc a pointer to its instance of the new TermLineEditor object - and then ldisc.c can put keystrokes straight into that, in the same way it would put them into its own TermLineEditor, without having to go via terminal.c at all. So the term_get_userpass_input edifice is only called back when the line editor actually delivers the answer to a username or password prompt. (I considered not _even_ having a separate TermLineEditor for password prompts, and just letting ldisc.c use its own. But the problem is that some of the behaviour differences between the two line editors are deliberate, for example the use of ^D to signal 'abort this prompt', and the use of Escape as an alternative line-clearing command. So TermLineEditor has a flags word that allows ldisc and terminal to set it up differently. Also this lets me give the two TermLineEditors a different vtable of callback functions, which is a convenient way for terminal.c to get notified when a prompt has been answered.) The new line editor still passes all the tests I wrote for the old one. But it already has a couple of important improvements, both in the area of UTF-8 handling: Firstly, when we display a UTF-8 character on the terminal, we check with the terminal how many character cells it occupied, and then if the user deletes it again from the editing buffer, we can emit the right number of backspace-space-backspace sequences. (The old ldisc line editor incorrectly assumed all Unicode characters had terminal with 1, partly because its buffer was byte- rather than character- oriented and so it was more than enough work just finding where the character _start_ was.) Secondly, terminal.c's userpass line editor would never emit a byte in the 80-BF range to the terminal at all, which meant that nontrivial UTF-8 characters always came out as U+FFFD blobs!

Merge be_*.c into one ifdef-controlled module. This commit replaces all those fiddly little linking modules (be_all.c, be_none.c, be_ssh.c etc) with a single source file controlled by ifdefs, and introduces a function be_list() in setup.cmake that makes it easy to compile a version of it appropriate to each application. This is a net reduction in code according to 'git diff --stat', even though I've introduced more comments. It also gets rid of another pile of annoying little source files in the top-level directory that didn't deserve to take up so much room in 'ls'. More concretely, doing this has some maintenance advantages. Centralisation means less to maintain (e.g. n_ui_backends is worked out once in a way that makes sense everywhere), and also, 'appname' can now be reliably set per program. Previously, some programs got the wrong appname due to sharing the same linking module (e.g. Plink had appname="PuTTY"), which was a latent bug that would have manifested if I'd wanted to reuse the same string in another context. One thing I've changed in this rework is that Windows pterm no longer has the ConPTY backend in its backends[]: it now has an empty one. The special be_conpty.c module shouldn't really have been there in the first place: it was used in the very earliest uncommitted drafts of the ConPTY work, where I was using another method of selecting that backend, but now that Windows pterm has a dedicated backend_vt_from_conf() that refers to conpty_backend by name, it has no need to live in backends[] at all, just as it doesn't have to in Unix pterm.

It also gets rid of another pile of annoying little source files in the top-level directory that didn't deserve to take up so much room in 'ls'. More concretely, doing this has some maintenance advantages. Centralisation means less to maintain (e.g. n_ui_backends is worked out once in a way that makes sense everywhere), and also, 'appname' can now be reliably set per program. Previously, some programs got the wrong appname due to sharing the same linking module (e.g. Plink had appname="PuTTY"), which was a latent bug that would have manifested if I'd wanted to reuse the same string in another context. One thing I've changed in this rework is that Windows pterm no longer has the ConPTY backend in its backends[]: it now has an empty one. The special be_conpty.c module shouldn't really have been there in the first place: it was used in the very earliest uncommitted drafts of the ConPTY work, where I was using another method of selecting that backend, but now that Windows pterm has a dedicated backend_vt_from_conf() that refers to conpty_backend by name, it has no need to live in backends[] at all, just as it doesn't have to in Unix pterm.

Move some add_executable() calls to top-level CMakeLists. Now that the main source file of Plink in each platform directory has the same name, we can put centralise the main definition of the program in the main CMakeLists.txt, and in the platform directory, just add the few extra modules needed to clear up platform-specific details. The same goes for psocks. And PSCP and PSFTP could have been moved to the top level already - I just hadn't done it in the initial setup.

Reorganise the stubs collection. I made a specific subdirectory 'stubs' to keep all the link-time stub modules in, like notiming.c. And I put _one_ run-time stub in it, namely nullplug.c. But the rest of the runtime stubs went into utils. I think it's better to keep all the stubs together, so I've moved all the null*.c in utils into stubs (with the exception of nullstrcmp.c, which means the 'null' in a different sense). Also, fiddled with the naming to be a bit more consistent, and stated in the new CMakeLists the naming policy that distinguishes no-*.c from null-*.c.

Move proxy-related source files into a subdirectory. There are quite a few of them already, and I'm about to make another one, so let's start with a bit of tidying up. The CMake build organisation is unchanged: I haven't put the proxy object files into a separate library, just moved the locations of the source files. (Organising proxying as a library would be tricky anyway, because of the various overrides for tools that want to avoid cryptography.)

New test program 'test_conf', mostly transitional. This aims to be a reasonably exhaustive test of what happens if you set Conf values to various things, and then save your session, and find out what ends up in the storage. Or vice versa. Currently, the test program is written to match the existing behaviour. The idea is that I can refactor the code that does the loading and saving, and if this test still passes, I've probably done it right. However, in the long term, this test will be a liability: it's yet another place you have to add every new config option. So my plan is to get rid of it again once the refactorings I'm planning are finished. Or rather, I'll get rid of _that_ part of its functionality. I also suspect I'll have added new kinds of consistency check by then, which won't be a liability in the same way, and which I'll want to keep.

Replace mkfiles.pl with a CMake build system. This brings various concrete advantages over the previous system: - consistent support for out-of-tree builds on all platforms - more thorough support for Visual Studio IDE project files - support for Ninja-based builds, which is particularly useful on Windows where the alternative nmake has no parallel option - a really simple set of build instructions that work the same way on all the major platforms (look how much shorter README is!) - better decoupling of the project configuration from the toolchain configuration, so that my Windows cross-building doesn't need (much) special treatment in CMakeLists.txt - configure-time tests on Windows as well as Linux, so that a lot of ad-hoc #ifdefs second-guessing a particular feature's presence from the compiler version can now be replaced by tests of the feature itself Also some longer-term software-engineering advantages: - other people have actually heard of CMake, so they'll be able to produce patches to the new build setup more easily - unlike the old mkfiles.pl, CMake is not my personal problem to maintain - most importantly, mkfiles.pl was just a horrible pile of unmaintainable cruft, which even I found it painful to make changes to or to use, and desperately needed throwing in the bin. I've already thrown away all the variants of it I had in other projects of mine, and was only delaying this one so we could make the 0.75 release branch first. This change comes with a noticeable build-level restructuring. The previous Recipe worked by compiling every object file exactly once, and then making each executable by linking a precisely specified subset of the same object files. But in CMake, that's not the natural way to work - if you write the obvious command that puts the same source file into two executable targets, CMake generates a makefile that compiles it once per target. That can be an advantage, because it gives you the freedom to compile it differently in each case (e.g. with a #define telling it which program it's part of). But in a project that has many executable targets and had carefully contrived to _never_ need to build any module more than once, all it does is bloat the build time pointlessly! To avoid slowing down the build by a large factor, I've put most of the modules of the code base into a collection of static libraries organised vaguely thematically (SSH, other backends, crypto, network, ...). That means all those modules can still be compiled just once each, because once each library is built it's reused unchanged for all the executable targets. One upside of this library-based structure is that now I don't have to manually specify exactly which objects go into which programs any more - it's enough to specify which libraries are needed, and the linker will figure out the fine detail automatically. So there's less maintenance to do in CMakeLists.txt when the source code changes. But that reorganisation also adds fragility, because of the trad Unix linker semantics of walking along the library list once each, so that cyclic references between your libraries will provoke link errors. The current setup builds successfully, but I suspect it only just manages it. (In particular, I've found that MinGW is the most finicky on this score of the Windows compilers I've tried building with. So I've included a MinGW test build in the new-look Buildscr, because otherwise I think there'd be a significant risk of introducing MinGW-only build failures due to library search order, which wasn't a risk in the previous library-free build organisation.) In the longer term I hope to be able to reduce the risk of that, via gradual reorganisation (in particular, breaking up too-monolithic modules, to reduce the risk of knock-on references when you included a module for function A and it also contains function B with an unsatisfied dependency you didn't really need). Ideally I want to reach a state in which the libraries all have sensibly described purposes, a clearly documented (partial) order in which they're permitted to depend on each other, and a specification of what stubs you have to put where if you're leaving one of them out (e.g. nocrypto) and what callbacks you have to define in your non-library objects to satisfy dependencies from things low in the stack (e.g. out_of_memory()). One thing that's gone completely missing in this migration, unfortunately, is the unfinished MacOS port linked against Quartz GTK. That's because it turned out that I can't currently build it myself, on my own Mac: my previous installation of GTK had bit-rotted as a side effect of an Xcode upgrade, and I haven't yet been able to persuade jhbuild to make me a new one. So I can't even build the MacOS port with the _old_ makefiles, and hence, I have no way of checking that the new ones also work. I hope to bring that port back to life at some point, but I don't want it to block the rest of this change.

Add two new string types to the Conf system. This begins the process of making PuTTY more able to handle Unicode strings as a first-class type in its configuration. One of the new types, CONF_TYPE_UTF8, looks physically just like CONF_TYPE_STR but the semantics are that it's definitely encoded in UTF-8, instead of 'shrug, whatever the system locale's encoding is'. Unfortunately, we can't yet switch over any Conf items to having that type, because our data representations in saved configuration (both on Unix and Windows) store char strings in the system encoding. So we'll have to change that representation at the same time, which risks breaking backwards compatibility with old PuTTYs reading the same configuration. So the other new type, CONF_TYPE_STR_AMBI, is intended as a transitional form, recording a configuration setting that _might_ be explicitly UTF-8 or might have the legacy 'shrug, whatever' semantics, depending on where we got it from. My general migration plan is that first I _enable_ Unicode support in a Conf item, by turning it into STR_AMBI; the Unicode version of the string (if any) is saved in a new location, and a best-effort local-charset version is saved where it's always been. That way new PuTTY can read the Unicode version, and old PuTTY reading that configuration will behave no worse than it would have done already. It would be nice to think that in the far future we've migrated everything to STR_AMBI and can move them all to mandatory UTF-8, obsoleting the old configuration. I think it's more likely we'll never get there. But at least _new_ Conf items, with no backwards compatibility requirement in the first place, can be CONF_TYPE_UTF8 where appropriate. (In conf_get_str_ambi(), I considered making it mandatory via assert() to pass the 'utf8' output pointer as non-NULL, to defend against lazy adaptation of existing code by just changing the function call. But in fact I think there's a legitimate use case for not caring if the output is UTF-8 or not, because some of the existing SSH code currently just shoves strings like usernames directly on to the wire whether they're in the right encoding or not; so if you want to do the correct UTF-8 thing where possible and preserve legacy behaviour if not, then treating both classes of string the same _is_ the right thing to do.) This also requires linking the Unicode support into many Unix applications that hadn't previously needed it.
