Correcting a source file name in the docs just now reminded me that
I've seen a lot of outdated source file names elsewhere in the code,
due to all the reorganisation since we moved to cmake. Here's a giant
pass of trying to make them all accurate again.
marshal.h now provides a macro put_fmt() which allows you to write
arbitrary printf-formatted data to an arbitrary BinarySink.
We already had this facility for strbufs in particular, in the form of
strbuf_catf(). That was able to take advantage of knowing the inner
structure of a strbuf to minimise memory allocation (it would snprintf
directly into the strbuf's existing buffer if possible). For a general
black-box BinarySink we can't do that, so instead we dupvprintf into a
temporary buffer.
For consistency, I've removed strbuf_catf, and converted all uses of
it into the new put_fmt - and I've also added an extra vtable method
in the BinarySink API, so that put_fmt can still use strbuf_catf's
more efficient memory management when talking to a strbuf, and fall
back to the simpler strategy when that's not available.
Previously, checking the host key against the persistent cache managed
by the storage.h API was done as part of the seat_verify_ssh_host_key
method, i.e. separately by each Seat.
Now that check is done by verify_ssh_host_key(), which is a new
function in ssh/common.c that centralises all the parts of host key
checking that don't need an interactive prompt. It subsumes the
previous verify_ssh_manual_host_key() that checked against the Conf,
and it does the check against the storage API that each Seat was
previously doing separately. If it can't confirm or definitively
reject the host key by itself, _then_ it calls out to the Seat, once
an interactive prompt is definitely needed.
The main point of doing this is so that when SshProxy forwards a Seat
call from the proxy SSH connection to the primary Seat, it won't print
an announcement of which connection is involved unless it's actually
going to do something interactive. (Not that we're printing those
announcements _yet_ anyway, but this is a piece of groundwork that
works towards doing so.)
But while I'm at it, I've also taken the opportunity to clean things
up a bit by renaming functions sensibly. Previously we had three very
similarly named functions verify_ssh_manual_host_key(), SeatVtable's
'verify_ssh_host_key' method, and verify_host_key() in storage.h. Now
the Seat method is called 'confirm' rather than 'verify' (since its
job is now always to print an interactive prompt, so it looks more
like the other confirm_foo methods), and the storage.h function is
called check_stored_host_key(), which goes better with store_host_key
and avoids having too many functions with similar names. And the
'manual' function is subsumed into the new centralised code, so
there's now just *one* host key function with 'verify' in the name.
Several functions are reindented in this commit. Best viewed with
whitespace changes ignored.
This gets rid of all those annoying 'win', 'ux' and 'gtk' prefixes
which made filenames annoying to type and to tab-complete. Also, as
with my other recent renaming sprees, I've taken the opportunity to
expand and clarify some of the names so that they're not such cryptic
abbreviations.
