We won't be able to use them in GTK3, or when compiling with GTK2 and
-DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED.
This applies to the one we use for the main terminal window, and also
the small one we use for the preview pane in the unified font selector.
A small bug in yesterday's work: since in Cairo mode
draw_stretch_before changes the transformation matrix, if we do it
before calling draw_clip then the clip region will be interpreted in
the transformed coordinates.
This caused a subtle display bug in yesterday's commit: drawing one
half of double-height text would have drawn _both_ halves of it on to
the window's backing pixmap, but only copied the correct half on to
the window proper - but the overdrawing on the pixmap would have shown
up if the window was hidden and re-exposed.
We were previously building our own mouse pointers out of pixmaps,
having first drawn characters from the X server standard font 'cursor'
on to those pixmaps, giving an effect almost exactly the same as just
calling gdk_cursor_new(some constant) except that we got to choose the
foreground and background colours of the resulting pointers.
But it's not clear why we needed to do that! In both GTK1 and GTK2 as
of my current testing, the standard colours appear to be just what I
wanted anyway (white pointer with black outline). The previous
implementation (and commit comment) was written in 2002, so perhaps it
was working around a GTK1 bug of the time.
So I've removed it completely, and replaced it with simple calls to
gdk_cursor_new (plus a workaround for GTK1's lack of GDK_BLANK_CURSOR,
but that's still much simpler than the previous code). If anyone does
report a colour problem, I may have to go back to doing something
clever, but if I can possibly arrange it, I'll want to do it by some
other technique, probably (as suggested in a comment in the previous
implementation) getting the underlying X cursor id and calling
XRecolorCursor.
We're going to have to use Cairo in the GTK3 port, because that's all
GTK3 supports; but we still need old-style GDK for GTK1 support, and
also for performance reasons in GTK2 (see below). Hence, this change
completely restructures GTK PuTTY's drawing code so that there's a
central 'drawing context' structure which contains a type code
indicating GDK or Cairo, and then either some GDK gubbins or some
Cairo gubbins as appropriate; all actual drawing is abstracted through
a set of routines which test the type code in that structure and do
one thing or another. And because the type code is tested at run time,
both sets of drawing primitives can be compiled in at once, and where
possible, they will be.
X server-side bitmap fonts are still supported in the Cairo world, but
because Cairo drawing is entirely client-side, they have to work by
cheekily downloading each glyph bitmap from the server when it's first
needed, and building up a client-side cache of 'cairo_surface_t's
containing the bitmaps with which we then draw on the window. This
technique works, but it's rather slow; hence, even in GTK2, we keep
the GDK drawing back end compiled in, and switch over to it when the
main selected font is a bitmap one.
One visible effect of the new Cairo routines is in the double-width
and double-height text you can get by sending ESC # 3, ESC # 4 and
ESC # 6 escape sequences. In GDK, that's always been done by a really
horrible process of manually scaling the bitmap, server-side, column
by column and row by row, causing each pixel to be exactly doubled or
quadrupled. But in Cairo, we can just set a transformation matrix, and
then that takes effect _before_ the scalable fonts are rendered - so
the results are visibly nicer, and use all the available resolution.
(Sadly, if you're using a server-side bitmap font as your primary one,
then the GDK backend will be selected for all drawing in the terminal
as a whole - so in that situation, even fallback characters absent
from the primary font and rendered by Pango will get the old GDK
scaling treatment. It's only if your main font is scalable, so that
the Cairo backend is selected, that DW/DH characters will come out
looking nice.)
GTK 2 has deprecated it and provided no replacement; a bug tracker
entry I found on the subject suggested that it was functionality that
didn't really belong in GTK, and glib ought to provide a replacement
instead, which would be a perfectly fine thing to suggest if they had
waited for glib to get round to doing so *before* throwing out a
function people were actually using. Sigh.
Anyway, it turns out that subsidiary invocations of gtk_main() don't
happen inside GTK as far as I can see, so all I need to do is to make
sure my own invocations of gtk_main() are followed by a cleanup
function which runs any quit functions that I've registered.
That was the last deprecated GTK function, so we now build cleanly
with -DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED. (But, as mentioned a couple of commits
ago, we still don't build with -DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED, because that
has migrating to Cairo drawing as a prerequisite.)
Now that I've got a general place to centralise handling of at least
the simple differences between GTK 1 and 2, I should use it wherever
possible. So this commit removes just a small number of ifdefs which
are either obsoleted by definitions already in gtkcompat.h (like
set_size_request vs set_usize), or can easily be replaced by adding
another (e.g. gtk_color_selection_set_has_opacity_control).
Building with -DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED, we now suffer only one compile
failure, for the use of gtk_quit_add() in idle_toplevel_callback_func.
That function is apparently removed with no replacement in GTK 3, so
I'll need to find a completely different approach to getting toplevel
callbacks to run only in the outermost instance of gtk_main().
Also, this change doesn't do anything about the use of *GDK*
deprecated functions, because those include the entire family of
old-style drawing functions - i.e. the only way to build cleanly with
-DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED will be to switch to Cairo drawing.
On GTK versions where it's available, this is a much nicer way of
handling the -geometry command-line option, since not only do we get
all the faffing about with gravity for free, it also automatically
sets the user-position WM hints.
All the things like GtkType, GtkObject, gtk_signal_connect and so on
should now consistently have the new-style glib names like GType,
GObject, g_signal_connect, etc.
A major aim of introducing GTK 3 support is to permit compiling for
non-X11 platforms that GTK 3 supports, so I'm going to need to be able
to build as a pure GTK application with no use of X11 internals.
Naturally, I don't intend to stop supporting the hybrid GTK+X11 mode
in which X server-side bitmap fonts are available.
Use of X11 can be removed by compiling with -DNOT_X_WINDOWS. That's
the same compatibility flag that was already used by the unfinished OS
X port to disable the X-specific parts of uxpty.c; now it just applies
to more source files.
(There's no 'configure' option to set this flag at present. I haven't
worked out whether we'll need one yet.)
GTK 2 doesn't _documentedly_ provide a helpful compile option to let
us check this one in advance of GTK 3, but you can fake one anyway by
compiling with -D__GDK_KEYSYMS_COMPAT_H__, so that gdkkeysyms-compat.h
will believe that it's already been included :-) We now build cleanly
under GTK 2 with that predefine.
This is the first of several cleanup steps recommended by the GTK 2->3
migration guide.
I intend to begin work towards compatibility with GTK 3, but without
breaking GTK 2 and even GTK 1 compatibility in the process; GTK 2 is
still useful to _me_ (not least because it permits much easier support
of old-style server-side X11 fonts), and I recall hearing a rumour
that at least one kind of strange system can only run GTK 1, so for
the moment I don't intend to stop supporting either.
Including gdkkeysyms.h is not optional in GTK 2, because gdk.h does
not include it. In GTK 3 it does, so we don't explicitly reinclude it
ourselves.
We now build cleanly in GTK2 with -DGTK_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES. (But
that doesn't say much, because we did already! Apparently gdkkeysyms.h
was a special case which that #define didn't forbid.)
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
I'm not actually sure why we've always had back ends notify ldisc of
changes to echo/edit settings by giving ldisc_send(ldisc,NULL,0,0) a
special meaning, instead of by having a separate dedicated notify
function with its own prototype and parameter set. Coverity's recent
observation that the two kinds of call don't even have the same
requirements on the ldisc (particularly, whether ldisc->term can be
NULL) makes me realise that it's really high time I separated the two
conceptually different operations into actually different functions.
While I'm here, I've renamed the confusing ldisc_update() function
which that special operation ends up feeding to, because it's not
actually a function applying to an ldisc - it applies to a front end.
So ldisc_send(ldisc,NULL,0,0) is now ldisc_echoedit_update(ldisc), and
that in turn figures out the current echo/edit settings before passing
them on to frontend_echoedit_update(). I think that should be clearer.
Robert de Bath points out that failure to remove the timer whose
callback returned FALSE may not have been the cause of runaway timer
explosion; another possibility is that a function called from
timer_trigger()'s call to run_timers() has already set a timer up by
the time run_timers() returns, and then we set another one up on top
of it. Fix that too.
[originally from svn r10206]
Mihkel Ader reports that on that system, timers apparently aren't
getting auto-destroyed when timer_trigger returns FALSE, so the change
in r10181 has caused GTK PuTTY to gradually allocate more and more
timers and consume more and more CPU as they all keep firing.
As far as I can see, this must surely be a bug in GTK 2 (the docs say
that timers _are_ auto-destroyed when their callback returns false),
and it doesn't seem to happen for me with GTK 2.4.23 on Ubuntu 14.04.
However, I'll try to work around it by _explicitly_ destroying each
old timer before we zero out the variable containing its id.
[originally from svn r10202]
[r10181 == e4c4bd2092]
Timer objects evaporate when our timer_trigger callback is called, and
therefore we should not remember their ids beyond that time and
attempt to cancel them later. Previous versions of GTK silently
ignored us doing that, but upgrading to Ubuntu Trusty has given me a
version of GTK that complains about it, so let's stop doing it.

I had somehow missed this completely out of the GTK mouse-button
handling and never noticed until now!

I found last week that when a local proxy process terminated
unexpectedly, Unix PuTTY went into a tight loop calling quit
functions, because if idle_toplevel_callback_func is called from
inside a subsidiary gtk_main then it will schedule a quit function and
_not_ disable itself, so that that quit function keeps being
rescheduled on subsequent calls.
To fix, I've tried to make the whole handling of idle and quit
functions more sensibly robust: we keep our own boolean flag
indicating whether each of our functions has already been scheduled
with GTK, and if so, we don't schedule the same one again. Also, when
idle_toplevel_callback_func schedules a quit function, it should
unschedule itself since it's now done everything it can until a
gtk_main instance quits.

This change attempts to reinstate as a universal property something
which was sporadically true of the ad-hockery that came before
toplevel callbacks: that if there's a _very long_ queue of things to
be done through the callback mechanism, the doing of them will be
interleaved with re-checks of other event sources, which might (e.g.)
cause a flag to be set which makes the next callback decide not to do
anything after all.
[originally from svn r10040]
Again, I've removed the special-purpose ad-hockery from the assorted
front end message loops that dealt with deferred handling of socket
errors, and instead uxnet.c and winnet.c arrange that for themselves
by calling the new general top-level callback mechanism.
[originally from svn r10023]
Instead of having a special GTK idle function for dealing with session
closing, I now use the new top-level callback mechanism which is
slightly simpler for calling a one-off function.
Also in this commit, I've arranged for connection_fatal to queue a
call to the same session close function after displaying the message
box, with the effect that now all the same processing takes place no
matter whether the session closes cleanly or uncleanly - e.g. the SSH
specials submenu is cleaned out, as it should be.
[originally from svn r10022]
I've removed the ad-hoc front-end bodgery in the Windows and GTK ports
to arrange for term_paste to be called at the right moments, and
instead, terminal.c itself deals with knowing when to send the next
chunk of pasted data using a combination of timers and the new
top-level callback mechanism.
As a happy side effect, it's now all in one place so I can actually
understand what it's doing! It turns out that what all that confusing
code was up to is: send a line of pasted data, and delay sending the
next line until either a CR or LF is returned from the server
(typically indicating that the pasted text has been received and
echoed) or 450ms elapse, whichever comes first.
[originally from svn r10020]
This is a little like schedule_timer, in that the callback you provide
will be run from the top-level message loop of whatever application
you're in; but unlike the timer mechanism, it will happen
_immediately_.
The aim is to provide a general way to avoid re-entrance of code, in
cases where just _doing_ the thing you want done is liable to trigger
a confusing recursive call to the function in which you came to the
decision to do it; instead, you just request a top-level callback at
the message loop's earliest convenience, and do it then.

Well, at least across all command-line tools on both Windows and Unix,

First, make absolute times unsigned. This means that it's safe to
depend on their overflow behaviour (which is undefined for signed
integers). This requires a little extra care in handling comparisons,
but I think I've correctly adjusted them all.
Second, functions registered with schedule_timer() are guaranteed to be
called with precisely the time that was returned by schedule_timer().
Thus, it's only necessary to check these values for equality rather than
doing risky range checks, so do that.
The timing code still does lots that's undefined, unnecessary, or just
wrong, but this is a good start.

piece of keyboard handling: if Num Lock is on, numeric keypad keys are
eaten by the IM, so we must avoid passing them to the IM in the first
place if we're in any non-default numeric keypad mode (application or
Nethack).
This is a grubby way to do it, but the more obvious approach of just
moving the Nethack and app-keypad if statements up to above the IM
call doesn't work because those statements depend on the generic
Alt-prefix handling that happens just _below_ the IM call. So instead
I just repeat the list of keystrokes and modes in an if statement
conditionalising the IM call.

The main reason for this is to stop it from taking up a fixed large
amount of space in every 'struct value' subunion in conf.c, although
that makes little difference so far because Filename is still doing

removal of its arbitrary length limit is not to be sneezed at.

data channels. Should comprehensively fix 'half-closed', in principle,
though it's a big and complicated change and so there's a good chance
I've made at least one mistake somewhere.
All connections should now be rigorous about propagating end-of-file
(or end-of-data-stream, or socket shutdown, or whatever) independently
in both directions, except in frontends with no mechanism for sending
explicit EOF (e.g. interactive terminal windows) or backends which are
basically always used for interactive sessions so it's unlikely that
an application would be depending on independent EOF (telnet, rlogin).
EOF should now never accidentally be sent while there's still buffered
data to go out before it. (May help fix 'portfwd-corrupt', and also I
noticed recently that the ssh main session channel can accidentally
have MSG_EOF sent before the output bufchain is clear, leading to
embarrassment when it subsequently does send the output).

'Config' in putty.h, which stores all PuTTY's settings and includes an
arbitrary length limit on every single one of those settings which is
stored in string form. In place of it is 'Conf', an opaque data type
everywhere outside the new file conf.c, which stores a list of (key,
value) pairs in which every key contains an integer identifying a
configuration setting, and for some of those integers the key also
contains extra parts (so that, for instance, CONF_environmt is a
string-to-string mapping). Everywhere that a Config was previously
used, a Conf is now; everywhere there was a Config structure copy,
conf_copy() is called; every lookup, adjustment, load and save
operation on a Config has been rewritten; and there's a mechanism for
serialising a Conf into a binary blob and back for use with Duplicate
Session.
User-visible effects of this change _should_ be minimal, though I
don't doubt I've introduced one or two bugs here and there which will
eventually be found. The _intended_ visible effects of this change are
that all arbitrary limits on configuration strings and lists (e.g.
limit on number of port forwardings) should now disappear; that list
boxes in the configuration will now be displayed in a sorted order
rather than the arbitrary order in which they were added to the list
(since the underlying data structure is now a sorted tree234 rather
than an ad-hoc comma-separated string); and one more specific change,
which is that local and dynamic port forwardings on the same port
number are now mutually exclusive in the configuration (putting 'D' in
the key rather than the value was a mistake in the first place).
One other reorganisation as a result of this is that I've moved all
the dialog.c standard handlers (dlg_stdeditbox_handler and friends)
out into config.c, because I can't really justify calling them generic
any more. When they took a pointer to an arbitrary structure type and
the offset of a field within that structure, they were independent of
whether that structure was a Config or something completely different,
but now they really do expect to talk to a Conf, which can _only_ be
used for PuTTY configuration, so I've renamed them all things like
conf_editbox_handler and moved them out of the nominally independent
dialog-box management module into the PuTTY-specific config.c.

we do, so scroll wheel support should be back in place.

client- and server-side fonts into a single namespace was mainly to
hope there would naturally be no collisions, and to provide
disambiguating "client:" and "server:" prefixes for manual use in
emergencies.
Jacob points out, however, that his system not only has a namespace
clash but worse still the clash is at the name "fixed", which is our
default font! So, modify my namespace policy to use the
disambiguating prefixes everywhere by default, and use _unprefixed_
names only if the user types one in by hand.
In particular, I've changed the keys used to store font names in
Unix saved session files. Font names read from the new keys will be
passed straight to the new unifont framework; font names read from
the old keys will have "server:" prepended. So any existing
configuration file for GTK1 PuTTY should now work reliably in GTK2
PuTTY and select the same font, even if that font is one on which
your system (rather, your client+server combination) has a font
namespace clash.

explicitly deals with GdkFont out into a new module, behind a
polymorphic interface (done by ad-hoc explicit vtable management in
C). This should allow me to drop in a Pango font handling module in
parallel with the existing one, meaning that GTK2 PuTTY will be able
to seamlessly switch between X11 server-side fonts and Pango client-
side ones as the user chooses, or even use a mixture of the two
(e.g. an X11 font for narrow characters and a Pango one for wide
characters, or vice versa).
In the process, incidentally, I got to the bottom of the `weird bug'
mentioned in the old do_text_internal(). It's not a bug in
gdk_draw_text_wc() as I had thought: it's simply that GdkWChar is a
32-bit type rather than a 16-bit one, so no wonder you have to
specify twice the length to find all the characters in the string!
However, there _is_ a bug in GTK2's gdk_draw_text_wc(), which causes
it to strip off everything above the low byte of each GdkWChar,
sigh. Solution to both problems is to use an array of the underlying
Xlib type XChar2b instead, and pass it to gdk_draw_text() cast to
gchar *. Grotty, but it works. (And it'll become significantly less
grotty if and when we have to stop using the GDK font handling
wrappers in favour of going direct to Xlib.)

which is twice the width of the other, you can instead have a single

This is implemented very simply: if you specify a wide font, it will
be used for wide characters, and if you don't then the normal font
will be used for wide characters (so they'd better _be_ wide in that
font, or there'll be trouble).

demonstrate the basic functionality of Unix Plink talking to a
serial port, but I haven't been able to test the GTK front end. I
have no reason to think it will fail, but I'll be more comfortable
once somebody has actually tested it.

Shift-hjklyubn for batch movement in NetHack, because they have
subtly different behaviour within the game and the Ctrl-moves are
more useful. Unfortunately, PuTTY's NetHack keypad mode doesn't
support Ctrl-moves. Therefore, it does now :-)

basis for other terminal-involving applications: a stub
implementation of the printing interface, an additional function in
notiming.c, and also I've renamed the front-end function beep() to
do_beep() so as not to clash with beep() in lib[n]curses.

abstracted out; replace loops structured around a single interaction
per loop with less tortuous code (fixes: `ki-multiprompt-crash',
`ssh1-bad-passphrase-crash'; makes `ssh2-password-expiry' and
`proxy-password-prompt' easier).
The new interaction abstraction has a lot of fields that are unused in
the current code (things like window captions); this is groundwork for
`gui-auth'. However, ssh.c still writes directly to stderr; that may
want to be fixed.
In the GUI apps, user interaction is moved to terminal.c. This should
make it easier to fix things like UTF-8 username entry, although I
haven't attempted to do so. Also, control character filtering can be
tailored to be appropriate for individual front-ends; so far I don't
promise anything other than not having made it any worse.
I've tried to test this fairly exhaustively (although Mac stuff is
untested, as usual). It all seems to basically work, but I bet there
are new bugs. (One I know about is that you can no longer make the
PuTTY window go away with a ^D at the password prompt; this should be
fixed.)

there, though (e.g.) switching to using reverse video for the cursor would
probably also help. Displays with other silly depths (e.g. 2bpp) aren't
catered for, but I suspect they're rare in the X world.

colours we asked it for. This means that I can run pterm on an 8-bit
PseudoColor display even if I have another program running.

Unix Plink sends everything sensible it can find, and it's fully configurable
from the GUI.
I'm not entirely sure about the precise set of modes that Unix Plink should
look at; informed tweaks are welcome.
Also the Mac bits are guesses (but trivial).

that the global `sesslist' got out of sync with the saved-sessions submenu,
causing the latter to launch the wrong sessions.
Also, Change Settings wasn't getting a fresh session list, so if the set of
sessions had changed since session startup it wouldn't reflect that (at least
until a session was saved). Fixed (on all platforms).
Therefore, since the global sesslist didn't seem to be useful, I've got rid
of it; config.c creates one as needed, as do the frontends. (Not tried
compiling Mac changes.)
Also, we now build the saved-sessions submenu on demand on Windows and Unix.
(This should probably also be done on the Mac.)

* All the PuTTY tools for Windows and Unix now contain the fingerprints of
the Master Keys. The method for accessing them is crude but universal:
a new "-pgpfp" command-line option. (Except Unix PuTTYgen, which takes
"--pgpfp" just to be awkward.)
* Move the key policy discussion from putty-website/keys.html to
putty/doc/pgpkeys.but, and autogenerate the former from the latter.
Also tweak the text somewhat and include the fingerprints of the
Master Keys themselves.
(I've merged the existing autogeneration scripts into a single new
one; I've left the old scripts and keys.html around until such time
as the webmonster reviews the changes and plumbs in the new script;
he should remove the old files then.)

connection_fatal(), since the latter is entitled to destroy the
backend so `ssh' may no longer be valid once it returns.
For the Unix port, switch exit(0) to gtk_main_quit() in
notify_remote_exit(), so that we don't exit before the subsequent
connection_fatal()!

changing its mouse pointer. Currently this is only used in the (slightly-
arbitrarily-defined) "heavy" bits of SSH-2 key exchange. We override pointer
hiding while PuTTY is busy, but preserve pointer-hiding state.
Not yet implemented on the Mac.
Also switch to frobbing window-class cursor in Windows rather than relying on
SetCursor().
