Apart from the specific benefit of non-modality, this also makes it a
lot simpler compared to the previous code! I'm not completely sure why
I wasn't using the standard gtkdlg.c message box system all along.
This fits into a new dialog-box slot (because it might have to come up
at the same time as a network prompt), and makes use of the existing
callback system in logging.c which buffers the logging data until the
user says what they want done with it.
Now it has several 'slots', each named for a particular class of
subsidiary dialog box that a session window can have at most one of,
and register_network_prompt_dialog has a more general name and takes
an enum-typed argument identifying a slot. This lets me avoid writing
a zillion annoyingly similar function pairs and corresponding snippets
of cleanup code in delete_inst.
When I switch verify_ssh_host_key() and friends over to creating
non-modal message boxes and returning to the main loop, there will be
a risk that their parent window will need to close for some other
reason while the user hasn't answered the pending question yet. (E.g.
if the user presses the main session window's close button, which will
no longer be a prohibited UI action once the transient dialog is not
modal.)
At that point we need to get rid of the pending dialog box, both for
UI purposes (it would look silly and be confusing to leave it lying
around) and for memory management (if the user subsequently clicks OK
in such a dialog it would probably try to leave its result somewhere
stale).
So now there's a mechanism for gtkwin.c remembering what the current
'network prompt dialog' is, if any (in which category I intend to
include everything triggered from ssh.c's various reasons for asking
crypto-related questions), and cleaning it up when the struct gui_data
it belongs to goes away.
Now, in place of a variadic argument list with four parameters per
button and a terminating NULL, it takes a pointer to a struct which in
turn contains an (array,length) pair of small per-button structures.
In the process I've renamed the function from messagebox() to
message_box(). Partly that was just because it gave me a convenient
way to search the source for calls I hadn't converted yet, but also
I've thought for a while that that missing underscore didn't really
match the rest of my naming.
NFCI. Partly this minor refactor has the virtue that we can reuse the
more common button layouts without having to type them in at multiple
places in the code (and, indeed, I've provided buttons_yn and
buttons_ok for easy reuse, and could easily provide other things like
yesnocancel any time I need them). But mostly it's because I'm about
to split up message_box into multiple functions, and this saves me the
hassle of deciding which ones to make variadic and which to pass an
actual va_list to - particularly since messagebox() used to go over
its variadic argument list twice, which always makes delegating it to
another function that much more annoying.
Now every call to do_config_box is replaced with a call to
create_config_box, which returns immediately having constructed the
new GTK window object, and is passed a callback function which it will
arrange to be called when the dialog terminates (whether by OK or by
Cancel). That callback is now what triggers the construction of a
session window after 'Open' is pressed in the initial config box, or
the actual mid-session reconfiguration action after 'Apply' is pressed
in a Change Settings box.
We were already prepared to ignore the re-selection of 'Change
Settings' from the context menu of a window that already had a Change
Settings box open (and not accidentally create a second config box for
the same window); but now we do slightly better, by finding the
existing config box and un-minimising and raising it, in case the user
had forgotten it was there.
That's a useful featurelet, but not the main purpose of this change.
The mani point, of course, is that now the multi-window GtkApplication
based front ends now don't do anything confusing to the nesting of
gtk_main() when config boxes are involved. Whether you're changing the
settings of one (or more than one) of your already-running sessions,
preparing to start up a new PuTTY connection, or both at once, we stay
in the same top-level instance of gtk_main() and all sessions' top-
level callbacks continue to run sensibly.
Unix PSCP, PSFTP, Plink and PuTTYgen now just report their build
platform as '64-bit Unix' or '32-bit Unix', without mentioning
irrelevant details of what flavour of GTK the other tools in the suite
might have been built against.
(In particular, they now won't imply anything outright untrue if there
was no GTK present at build time at all!)
It's obvious to the trained eye whether GTK PuTTY was compiled against
GTK2 or GTK3, but the untrained eye would probably appreciate a little
help, and even the trained eye probably can't tell GTK 3.18 from 3.19
at a glance :-)
It's a function that exists on all platforms, not just on Unix - it's
used in ldisc.c - so it shouldn't have been declared only in unix.h.
Score another for clang's warnings.
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.
Essentially 'mkdir -p' - we try to make each prefix of the pathname,
terminating on any error other than EEXIST. Semantics are similar to
make_dir_and_check_ours(): we return NULL on success or a dynamically
allocated error message string on failure.
This is a weird thing to have to do, but it is necessary: the OS X
PuTTY will need its top-level windows to be instances of a thing
called GtkApplicationWindow, rather than plain GtkWindow. Hence, the
actual creation of windows needs to be somewhere that isn't
centralised between the two kinds of front end.
This lays further groundwork for the OS X GTK3 port, which is going to
have to deal with multiple sessions sharing the same process. gtkwin.c
was a bit too monolithic for this, since it included some
process-global runtime state (timers, toplevel callbacks), some
process startup stuff (gtk_init, gtk_main, argv processing) and some
per-session-window stuff.
The per-session stuff remains in gtkwin.c, with the top-level function
now being new_session_window() taking a Conf. The new gtkmain.c
contains the outer skeleton of pt_main(), handling argv processing and
one-off startup stuff like setlocale; and the new gtkcomm.c contains
the pieces of PuTTY infrastructure like timers and uxsel that are
shared between multiple sessions rather than reinstantiated per
session, which have been rewritten to use global variables rather than
fields in 'inst' (since it's now clear to me that they'll have to
apply to all the insts in existence at once).
There are still some lurking assumptions of one-session-per-process,
e.g. the use of gtk_main_quit when a session finishes, and the fact
that the config box insists on running as a separate invocation of
gtk_main so that one session's preliminary config box can't coexist
with another session already active. But this should make it possible
to at least write an OS X app good enough to start testing with, even
if it doesn't get everything quite right yet.
This change is almost entirely rearranging existing code, so it
shouldn't be seriously destabilising. But two noticeable actual
changes have happened, both pleasantly simplifying:
Firstly, the global-variables rewrite of gtkcomm.c has allowed the
post_main edifice to become a great deal simpler. Most of its
complexity was about remembering what 'inst' it had to call back to,
and in fact the right answer is that it shouldn't be calling back to
one at all. So now the post_main() called by gtkdlg.c has become the
same function as the old inst_post_main() that actually did the work,
instead of the two having to be connected by a piece of ugly plumbing.
Secondly, a piece of code that's vanished completely in this
refactoring is the temporary blocking of SIGCHLD around most of the
session setup code. This turns out to have been introduced in 2002,
_before_ I switched to using the intra-process signal pipe strategy
for SIGCHLD handling in 2003. So I now expect that we should be robust
in any case against receiving SIGCHLD at an inconvenient moment, and
hence there's no need to block it.
I've made the licence text, the About box, and the host key dialog
into GTK selectable edit controls. (The former because it contains a
lot of text; the About box because pasting version numbers into bug
reports is obviously useful; the host key because of the fingerprint.)
If you use the new 'plink -shareexists' feature, then on Unix at least
it's possible for the upstream to receive EPIPE, because the
downstream makes a test connection and immediately closes it, so that
upstream fails to write its version string.
This looks a bit ugly in the upstream's Event Log, so I'm making a
special case: an error of 'broken pipe' type, which occurs on a socket
from a connection sharing downstream, before we've received a version
string from that downstream, is treated as an unusual kind of normal
connection termination and not logged as an error.
Rather than trying to get my existing hugely complicated X-style
clipboard code to somehow work with the Quartz GTK back end, I've
written an entirely new and much simpler alternative clipboard handler
usnig the higher-leve GtkClipboard interface. It assumes all clipboard
text can be converted to and from UTF-8 sensibly (which isn't a good
assumption on all front ends, but on OS X I think it's reasonable),
and it talks to GDK_SELECTION_CLIPBOARD rather than PRIMARY, which is
the only clipboard OS X has.
I had to do a fiddly thing to cope with the fact that each call to
gtk_clipboard_set_with_data caused a call to the clipboard clear
function left over from the previous set of data, so I had to avoid
mistaking that for a clipboard-clear for the _new_ data and
immediately deselecting it. I did that by allocating a distinct
placeholder object in memory for each instance of the copy operation,
so that I can tell whether a clipboard-clear is for the current copy
or a previous one.
This is only very basic support which demonstrates successful copying
and pasting is at least possible. For a sensible OS X implementation
we'll need a more believable means of generating a paste UI action
(it's quite easy to find a Mac on which neither Shift-Ins nor the
third mouse button even exists!). Also, after the trouble I had with
the clipboard-clear event, it's a bit annoying to find that it
_doesn't_ seem to get called when another application becomes the
clipboard owner. That may just be something we have to put up with, if
I can't find any reason why it's failing.
If I'm using Option as the Meta key, I want to suppress OS X GTK's
default behaviour of treating it as an AltGr-oid which changes the
keyval and Unicode translation of alphabetic keys. So on OS X I enable
a somewhat bodgy workaround which retranslates from the hardware
keycode as if the Option modifier had not been active at the time, and
use that as the character to prefix Esc to.
This is a bit nasty because I have to hardwire group = 0 in the call
to gdk_keymap_translate_keyboard_state(), whereas in principle what I
wanted was group = (whatever would have resulted from everything else
in the key event other than MOD1). However, in practice, they seem to
be the same, so this will do for the moment.
Personally I like using Command as the Esc-prefixing Meta key in
terminal sessions, because it occupies the same physical keyboard
position as the Alt key that I'm used to using on non-Macs. OS X
Terminal uses Option for that purpose (freeing up Command for the
conventional Mac keyboard shortcuts, of course), so I anticipate
differences of opinion.
Hence, here's a pair of OSX-specific config options which permit a
user to set either, or neither, or both of those modifier keys to
function as the terminal Meta key.
In a UTF-8 pterm, it makes sense to set the IUTF8 flag (on systems
that have one) on the pty device, so that line editing will take
account of UTF-8 multibyte characters.
Several utility functions I've written over the last few weeks were in
rather random places because I didn't have a central gtkmisc.c to put
them in. Now I've got one, put them there!
If we're not supporting server-side fonts, it's utterly silly to set
one as the default! Instead, we use Pango's guarantee that some
reasonably sensible monospaced font will be made available under the
name "Monospace", and use that at a reasonable default size of 12pt.
Using GTK to run on OS X is going to require several workarounds and
behaviour tweaks to be enabled at various points in the code, and it's
already getting cumbersome to remember what they all are to put on the
command line. Here's a central #define (OSX_GTK) that enables them all
in one go, and a configure option (--with-quartz) that sets it.
As part of this commit, I've also rearranged the #include order in the
GTK source files, so that they include unix.h (which now might be
where NOT_X_WINDOWS gets defined) before they test NOT_X_WINDOWS to
decide whether to include X11 headers.
This was another piece of code that determined text size by
instantiating a GtkLabel and asking for its size, which I had to fix
in gtkfont.c recently because that strategy doesn't work in GTK3.
Replaced the implementation of string_width() with a call to the
function I added in gtkfont.c, and now dialog boxes which depend on
that for their width measurement (e.g. the one in reallyclose()) don't
come out in silly sizes on GTK3 any more.
The new way is gdk_display_get_name(gdk_display_get_default()), which
returns a const char * rather than a char *, so I've also had to
fiddle with the prototype and call sites of get_x_display().
(Also included gtkcompat.h into uxputty.c, since that wanted to call
gdk_get_display() but didn't previously include it.)
In case a front end needs to store more than an integer id to be
returned to uxsel_input_remove, we now return a pointer to a
frontend-defined structure.
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.)
When anyone connects to a PuTTY tool's listening socket - whether it's
a user of a local->remote port forwarding, a connection-sharing
downstream or a client of Pageant - we'd like to log as much
information as we can find out about where the connection came from.
To that end, I've implemented a function sk_peer_info() in the socket
abstraction, which returns a freeform text string as best it can (or
NULL, if it can't get anything at all) describing the thing at the
other end of the connection. For TCP connections, this is done using
getpeername() to get an IP address and port in the obvious way; for
Unix-domain sockets, we attempt SO_PEERCRED (conditionalised on some
moderately hairy autoconfery) to get the pid and owner of the peer. I
haven't implemented anything for Windows named pipes, but I will if I
hear of anything useful.
Having found a lot of unfixed constness issues in recent development,
I thought perhaps it was time to get proactive, so I compiled the
whole codebase with -Wwrite-strings. That turned up a huge load of
const problems, which I've fixed in this commit: the Unix build now
goes cleanly through with -Wwrite-strings, and the Windows build is as
close as I could get it (there are some lingering issues due to
occasional Windows API functions like AcquireCredentialsHandle not
having the right constness).
Notable fallout beyond the purely mechanical changing of types:
- the stuff saved by cmdline_save_param() is now explicitly
dupstr()ed, and freed in cmdline_run_saved.
- I couldn't make both string arguments to cmdline_process_param()
const, because it intentionally writes to one of them in the case
where it's the argument to -pw (in the vain hope of being at least
slightly friendly to 'ps'), so elsewhere I had to temporarily
dupstr() something for the sake of passing it to that function
- I had to invent a silly parallel version of const_cmp() so I could
pass const string literals in to lookup functions.
- stripslashes() in pscp.c and psftp.c has the annoying strchr nature
The mechanism for constructing a new connection-type Socket when a
listening one receives an incoming connection previously worked by
passing a platform-specific 'OSSocket' type to the plug_accepting
function, which would then call sk_register to wrap it with a proper
Socket instance. This is less flexible than ideal, because it presumes
that only one kind of OS object might ever need to be turned into a
Socket. So I've replaced OSSocket throughout the code base with a pair
of parameters consisting of a function pointer and a context such that
passing the latter to the former returns the appropriate Socket; this
will permit different classes of listening Socket to pass different
function pointers.
In deference to the reality that OSSockets tend to be small integers
or pointer-sized OS handles, I've made the context parameter an
int/pointer union that can hold either of those directly, rather than
the usual approach of making it a plain 'void *' and requiring a
context structure to be dynamically allocated every time.

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.

that the user really ought to know but that are not actually fatal to
continued operation of PuTTY or a single network connection.

and returns its error message as a string, instead of actually
printing it on standard error and exiting. Now we can preserve the
previous error behaviour when we get a nonexistent font name at
startup time, but no longer rudely terminate in mid-session if the
user configures a bogus font name in Change Settings.
[originally from svn r9745]
The previous platform-dependent ifdefs, switching between a system
which tried to cope with spurious callbacks (which I'd observed on
Windows) and one which tried to cope with system clock jumps (which
can happen on Unix, if you use gettimeofday) have been completely
removed, and replaced with a much simpler approach which just copes
with system clock jumps by triggering any timers immediately.
None of the resulting effects should be catastrophic (the worst thing
might be the waste of CPU in a spurious rekey, but as long as the
system clock isn't jumping around _all_ the time that's hardly
critical) and in any case the Unix port has had a long-standing oddity
involving occasional lockups if pterm or PuTTY runs for too long,
which hopefully this should replace with a much less bad failure mode.
And the code is much simpler, which is not to be sneezed at.

remembered to do before! Also some related fixes, such as that after
we do so we should immediately stop selecting on the socket in
question.

allocated type.
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
the same thing (and is therefore next on my list). However, the
removal of its arbitrary length limit is not to be sneezed at.
[originally from svn r9314]
'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.
[originally from svn r9214]
are now loaded from standard locations (system32 for SSPI, the
registry-stored MIT KfW install location for KfW) rather than using
the risky default DLL search path; I've therefore also added an
option to manually specify a GSS DLL we haven't heard of (which
should in principle Just Work provided it supports proper GSS-API as
specified in the RFC). The same option exists on Unix too, because
it seemed like too useful an idea to reserve to Windows. In
addition, GSSAPI is now documented, and also (unfortunately) its GUI
configuration has been moved out into a sub-subpanel on the grounds
that it was too big to fit in Auth.
[originally from svn r9003]
reorganises the GSSAPI support so that it handles alternative
implementations of the GSS-API. In particular, this means PuTTY can
now talk to MIT Kerberos for Windows instead of being limited to
SSPI. I don't know for sure whether further tweaking will be needed
(to the UI, most likely, or to automatic selection of credentials),
but testing reports suggest it's now at least worth committing to
trunk to get it more widely tested.

unchanged, but I daresay I've managed to stop it compiling nonetheless.

ourselves, but on Unix then assumed it was compatible with the system's
gss_buffer_desc, which wasn't the case on LP64 systems. Now, on Unix
we make Ssh_gss_buf into an alias for gss_buffer_desc, though we keep
something similar to the existing behaviour on Windows. This requires
renaming a couple of the fields in Ssh_gss_buf, and hence fixing all
the references.
