Same principle again - the more of these structures have globally
visible tags (even if the structure contents are still opaque in most
places), the fewer of them I can mistake for each other.
That's one fewer anonymous 'void *' which might be accidentally
confused with some other pointer type if I misremember the order of
function arguments.
While I'm here, I've made its pointer-nature explicit - that is,
'Ldisc' is now a typedef for the structure type itself rather than a
pointer to it. A stylistic change only, but it feels more natural to
me these days for a thing you're going to eventually pass to a 'free'
function.
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.
It's an incoherent concept! There should not be any such thing as an
error box that terminates the entire program but is not modal. If it's
bad enough to terminate the whole program, i.e. _all_ currently live
connections, then there's no point in permitting progress to continue
in windows other than the affected one, because all windows are
affected anyway.
So all previous uses of fatalbox() have become modalfatalbox(), except
those which looked to me as if they shouldn't have been fatal in the
first place, e.g. lingering pieces of error handling in winnet.c which
ought to have had the severity of 'give up on this particular Socket
and close it' rather than 'give up on the ENTIRE UNIVERSE'.
A lenof() being applied to a non-array, a couple of missing frees on
an error path, and a case in pfd_receive() where we could have gone
round a loop again after freeing the port forwarding structure it was
working on.

When called with -V to ask for our version, return 0 rather than 1.
This is the usual behaviour observed by ssh(1) and other Unix commands.
Also use exit() rather than cleanup_exit() in pscp.c and psftp.c ; at
this point we have nothing to cleanup!
Partly to reassure the user that they got what they asked for, and
partly so that's a clue for us in the logs when we get bug reports.
This involved repurposing platform_psftp_post_option_setup() (no longer
used since e22120fe) as platform_psftp_pre_conn_setup(), and moving it
to after logging is set up.
This shows the build platform (32- vs 64-bit in particular, and also
whether Unix GTK builds were compiled with or without the X11 pieces),
what compiler was used to build the binary, and any interesting build
options that might have been set on the make command line (especially,
but not limited to, the security-damaging ones like NO_SECURITY or
UNPROTECT). This will probably be useful all over the place, but in
particular it should allow the different Windows binaries to be told
apart!
Commits 21101c739 and 2eb952ca3 laid the groundwork for this, by
allowing the various About boxes to contain free text and also
ensuring they could be copied and pasted easily as part of a bug
report.
This is a purely stylistic cleanup - no functional change intended -
after Tim Kosse's changes in commits e9a76883a and 6f871e3d2.
I think the underlying cause of the confusion whose functional effects
he was fixing there is that I have the bad habit of tending to call
variables 'ret' for two different reasons: one is because it's holding
the value returned from some subroutine I've just called, and the
other is because it's holding the value I'm preparing to return from
the routine _containing_ the variable.
The reason it's a bad habit is that I confuse the two purposes, and a
variable of one type ends up accidentally being treated as the other.
So while Tim's commits have already fixed the functional effects of
the error in this case, this change should help prevent a recurrence
because now there's no variable called 'ret' at all that's in scope
for the whole function.
It is possible for SSH_FXP_CLOSE requests to fail. This can happen if the
server buffers writes and an error occurs flushing the data to disk while
processing the SSH_FXP_CLOSE request. If the close fails, sftp_put_file now
returns an error as well.
Due to a shadowed variable, transfer failures were not reflected in the return
code to sftp_put_file. Instead of tracking the return code, use the 'err'
variable to decide which return code to use.
Due to the return variable 'ret' being shadowed in the transfer loop, errors
in the transfer loop did not affect the final return value of sftp_get_file.
This particularly affects psftp's batch mode (without passing the -be
command-line argument), which would errorneously continue. The solution is
to simply remove the shadowing declaration.
Formerly PuTTY's SFTP code would transmit (or buffer) a megabyte of data
before even starting to look for acknowledgements, but wouldn't allow
there to be more than a megabyte of unacknowledged data at a time. Now,
instead, it pays attention to whether the transmit path is blocked, and
transmits iff it isn't.
This should mean that SFTP goes faster over long fat pipes, and also
doesn't end up buffering so much over thin ones.
I practice, I tend to run into other performance limitations (such as
TCP or SSH-2 windows) before this enhancement looks particularly good,
but with an artificial lag of 250 ms on the loopback interface this
patch almost doubles my upload speed, so I think it's worthwhile.
Protecting our processes from outside interference need not be limited
to just PuTTY: there's no reason why the other SSH-speaking tools
shouldn't have the same treatment (PSFTP, PSCP, Plink), and PuTTYgen
and Pageant which handle private key material.
TOOLTYPE_NONNETWORK (i.e. pterm) already has "-log" (as does Unix
PuTTY), so there's no sense suppressing the synonym "-sessionlog".
Undocumented lacunae that remain:
plink accepts -sessionlog, but does nothing with it. Arguably it should.
puttytel accepts -sshlog/-sshrawlog (and happily logs e.g. Telnet
negotiation, as does PuTTY proper).
I noticed that Unix PSCP was unwantedly renaming downloaded files
which had a backslash in their names, because pscp.c's stripslashes()
treated \ as a path component separator, since it hadn't been modified
since PSCP ran on Windows only.
It also turns out that pscp.c, psftp.c and winsftp.c all had a
stripslashes(), and they didn't all have quite the same prototype. So
now there's one in winsftp.c and one in uxsftp.c, with appropriate
OS-dependent behaviour, and the ones in pscp.c and psftp.c are gone.
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.
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.

places we simply enforce by assertion that it will match the request
we sent out a moment ago: in fact it can also return NULL, so it makes
more sense to report a proper error message if it doesn't return the
expected value, and while we're at it, have that error message
whatever message was helpfully left in fxp_error() by
sftp_find_request when it failed.
To do this, I've written a centralised function in psftp.c called
sftp_wait_for_reply, which is handed a request that's just been sent
out and deals with the mechanics of waiting for its reply, returning
the reply when it arrives, and aborting with a sensible error if
anything else arrives instead. The numerous sites in psftp.c which
called sftp_find_request have all been rewritten to do this instead,
and as a side effect they now look more sensible. The only other uses
of sftp_find_request were in xfer_*load_gotpkt, which had to be
tweaked in its own way.
While I'm here, also fix memory management in sftp_find_request, which
was freeing its input packet on some but not all error return paths.

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).

I think I have to consider this to be a separate but related change to
the wishlist item 'pscp-filemodes'; that was written before the Unix
port existed, and referred to the ability to configure the permissions
used for files copied from Windows to Unix - which is still not done.
[originally from svn r9260]
'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.

name the proxy using the global 'appname' variable, instead of
statically calling it PuTTY.
(Knock-on effect is that PSCP and PSFTP have to declare that

nox11fwd.c for those applications.)

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.)

sftp_{get,put}_file(), and also it makes it very hard to handle

completely different approach, in which sftp_{get,put}_file() are
still responsible for directory recursion, but wildcards are
expanded in sftp_general_{get,put}() before being passed thereto.
Subdirectory wildcards are now handled consistently across Unix,

Ignoring `-1' and `-2' is hardly the end of the world, as it'd be difficult
to think of a realistic situation where fallback didn't do the right thing
and PSFTP was still useful. However, ignoring a user's `SSH-2 only' setting
was a bit rude.

before "-load" is processed so that it doesn't clobber it.
I've also changed the semantics of "-load" slightly for PSCP, PSFTP,
and Plink: if it's specified at all, it overrides (disables) the
implicit loading of session details based on a supplied hostname
elsewhere (on the grounds that the user is more likely to want the
"-load" session than the implicit session). (PuTTY itself doesn't do
implicit loading at all, so I haven't changed it.)
This means that all the PuTTY tools' behaviour is now consistent iff
"-load" is specified (otherwise, some tools have implicit-session, and
others don't).
However, I've not documented this behaviour, as there's a good chance
it will be swept away if and when we get round to sorting out how we
deal with settings from multiple sources. It's intended as a "do
something sensible" change.
