They don't do normal command-line processing, so they don't need it. A
few stray references to machinery provided in there are now satisfied
instead by a new stub module nocmdline.c.
People who use a packaging system other than jhbuild still ought to be
able to run the OS X GTK3 build, so now the gtk-mac-bundler command
finds out the locations of things by a more portable method.
(I've had this change lurking around uncommitted in a working tree for
a while, and only just found it in the course of doing other OS X-
related work. Oops.)
After a conversation this week with a user who tried to use it, it's
clear that Borland C can't build the up-to-date PuTTY without having
to make too many compromises of functionality (unsupported API
details, no 'long long' type), even above the issues that could be
worked round with extra porting ifdefs.
This too is not in the list of known DLLs on Windows 10. I don't know
of any actual viable hijacking attack based on it, which according to
my reading of MSDN (specifically, a rather vague hint in
https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ff919712) _may_ be because we
mention the common controls assembly in our application manifest; but
better safe than sorry.
Now the entire list of remaining DLLs that PuTTY links against at load
time is a subset of the Win10 known DLLs list, so that _should_ mean
that everything we load before we've deployed our own defence
(SetDefaultDllDirectories) is defended against for us by Windows
itself.
The printing functions are split between winspool.drv and spoolss.dll
in a really weird way (who would have guessed that OpenPrinter and
ClosePrinter don't live in the same dynamic library?!), but _neither_
of those counts as a system 'known DLL', so linking against either one
of these at load time is again a potential DLL hijacking vector.
It's not on the default list of important system 'known DLLs' stored
at HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\KnownDLLs (see
https://isc.sans.edu/forums/diary/DLL+hijacking+vulnerabilities/9445/ )
which apparently makes it exempt from Windows's standard DLL hijacking
defence, i.e. if an executable links against it in the normal way then
that executable will be vulnerable to DLL hijacking from a file called
winmm.dll in the same directory as it.
The solution is to load it dynamically _after_ we've locked down our
DLL search path, which fortunately PuTTY's code base is well used to
doing already for other DLLs.
gssapi32.dll from MIT Kerberos as well as from Heimdal both load
further DLLs from their installation directories.
[SGT: I polished the original patch a bit, in particular replacing
manual memory allocation with dup_mb_to_wc. This required a Recipe
change to link miscucs.c and winucs.c into more of the tools.]
If you configure without GTK so that only the non-GUI tools get built
and installed, it makes sense to also only build and install the same
subset of the man pages.
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 :-)
This was very strange to write, because it's a bizarre combination of
the GNU-make-isms and rc commands of Makefile.mgw with the cl and link
commands of Makefile.vc (but also the latter thankfully doesn't need
those horrible response files).
I've added a big comment in mkfiles.pl about what the build
requirements for this makefile actually are, which _hopefully_ will be
usable by people other than me.
As documented in bug 'win-process-acl-finesse', we've had enough
assorted complaints about it breaking various non-malicious pieces of
Windows process interaction (ranging from git->plink integration to
screen readers for the vision-impaired) that I think it's more
sensible to set the process back to its default level of protection.
This precaution was never a fully effective protection anyway, due to
the race condition at process startup; the only properly effective
defence would have been to prevent malware running under the same user
ID as PuTTY in the first place, so in that sense, nothing has changed.
But people who want the arguable defence-in-depth advantage of the ACL
restriction can now turn it on with the '-restrict-acl' command-line
option, and it's up to them whether they can live with the assorted
inconveniences that come with it.
In the course of this change, I've centralised a bit more of the
restriction code into winsecur.c, to avoid repeating the error
handling in multiple places.
Now, instead of returning a boolean indicating whether the query has
completed or is still pending, agent_query() returns NULL to indicate
that the query _has_ completed, and if it hasn't, it returns a pointer
to a context structure representing the pending query, so that the
latter can be used to cancel the query if (for example) you later
decide you need to free the thing its callback was using as a context.
This should fix a potential race-condition segfault if you overload an
agent forwarding channel and then close it abruptly. (Which nobody
will be doing for sensible purposes, of course! But I ran across this
while stress-testing other aspects of agent forwarding.)
This arranges that the mechanism from the previous commit
automatically turns itself on and off depending on whether a .git
directory even exists (so it won't try to do anything in distribution
tarballs), and also arranges that it can be manually turned off by a
configure option (in case someone who _is_ building from a git
checkout finds it inconvenient for some reason I haven't thought of,
which seems quite plausible to me).
This is perhaps the more useful end of the mechanism I added in the
previous commit: now, when a developer runs a configure+make build
from a git checkout (rather than from a bob-built source tarball), the
Makefile will automatically run 'git rev-parse HEAD' and embed the
result in the binaries.
So now when I want to deploy my own bleeding-edge code for day-to-day
use on my own machine, I can easily check whether I've done it right
(e.g. did I install to the right prefix?), and also easily check
whether any given PuTTY or pterm has been restarted since I rolled out
a new version.
In order to arrange this (and in particular to force version.o to be
rebuilt when _any_ source file changes), I've had to reintroduce some
of the slightly painful Makefile nastiness that I removed in 4d8782e74
when I retired the 'manifest' system, namely having version.o depend
on a file empty.h, which in turn is trivially rebuilt by a custom make
rule whose dependencies include $(allsources). That's a bit
unfortunate, but I think acceptable: the main horribleness of the
manifest system was not that part, but the actual _manifests_, which
were there to arrange that if you modified the sources in a
distribution tarball the binaries would automatically switch to
reporting themselves as local builds rather than the version baked
into the tarball. I haven't reintroduced that part of the system: if
you check out a given git commit, modify the checked-out sources, and
build the result, the Makefile won't make any inconvenient attempts to
detect that, and the resulting build will still announce itself as the
git commit you started from.
The Windows binaries, and both Windows and Unix source archives,
output from a bob build will now include the full SHA-1 of the source
git commit in their buildinfo (hence in all the About boxes and
command-line version output).
This will be occasionally useful to me at release time (there was that
one embarrassing incident where I managed not to notice that I'd made
a release build from entirely the wrong commit), but mostly, it just
seems like an obviously useful thing to put in a general buildinfo
section now that there is one.
I've reset the baseline to be the version of mingw-w64 that comes with
Ubuntu 14.04. Right now, that means no features need to be omitted; all
you need to do is set TOOLPATH to i686-w64-mingw32- .
I've removed -mno-cygwin without comment. Toolchains which don't support
this flag have been around since at least 2012, so we can probably
assume that no-one cares about older toolchains by now.
It's really only useful with MinGW rather than a Cygwin toolchain these
days, as recent versions of the latter insist against linking with the
Cygwin DLL.
(I think it may no longer be possible to build with Cygwin out of the
box at all these days, but I'm not going to say so without having
actually checked that's the case. Settle for listing MinGW first in
various comments and docs.)
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.
cmdgen.c has contained code for ages to build a test main() if you
compile with -DTEST_CMDGEN. But it's painful to do so manually, since
you've still got to link in all the same supporting objects, and also
nobody can have actually done that for a while because the stub test
code hasn't been kept up to date with changes in the internal APIs
(specifically prompt_t).
Now we have the ability to include our test programs in Recipe as [UT]
or [XT] so as to leave them out of 'make install', that seems like a
useful thing to do with cmdgen's test suite. So here's a Recipe change
that builds it as 'cgtest', plus fixes for compiler warnings and bit
rot. Pleasantly, the test suite still _passes_ after those are fixed.
The current state of the OS X GTK port is looking more or less
plausible - it's not finished, of course, but then neither was the old
native Cocoa port. So I'm inclined to advertise it as *the* unfinished
OS X port: it's the one I intend to keep working on, and it's the one
I'd prefer people offered us help with if they're going to offer.
Hence, leaving the old macosx directory around is just confusing; that
directory is long-unmaintained, probably doesn't even compile, and its
only effect will be to mislead people into thinking it's still
relevant. I'm unilaterally deleting it; of course we can always
recover it from source control history if it's ever necessary to do
so.
This commit adds two .plist files, which go in the app bundles; two
.bundle files, which are input to gtk-mac-bundler and explain to it
how to _create_ the bundles; and a piece of manual addition to
Makefile.am that actually runs gtk-mac-bundler after building the
gtkapp.c based binaries and the OSX launcher. The latter is
conditionalised on configuring --with-quartz (unlike the binaries
themselves, which you can build on other platforms too, though they
won't do much that's useful).
The big problem with making an OS X application out of a GTK program
is that it won't start unless DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH and several other
environment variables point at all the GTK machinery. So your app
bundle has to contain two programs: a launcher to set up that
environment, and then the real main program that the launcher execs
once it's done so.
But in our case, we also need pterm to start subprocesses _without_
all that stuff in the environment - so our launcher has to be more
complicated than the usual one, because it's also got to save every
detail of how the environment was when it started up. So this is the
launcher program I'm going to use. Comments in the header explain in
more detail how it'll work.
Also in this commit, I add the other end of the same machinery to
gtkapp.c and uxpty.c: the former catches an extra command-line
argument that the launcher used to indicate how it had munged the
environment, and stores it in a global variable where the latter can
pick it up after fork() and use to actually undo the munging.
When it's finished, this will be the backbone of the OS X GTK port:
using a GtkApplication automatically gives us a properly OS X
integrated menu bar.
Using this source file in place of gtkmain.c turns the usual Unix
single-session-per-process PuTTY or pterm into the multi-session-per-
process OS X style one.
Things like Duplicate Session can be done much more simply here - we
just grab the Conf * from the source window and launch a new window
using it, with no fiddly interprocess work needed.
This is still experimental and has a lot of holes, but it's usable
enough to test and improve.
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.
This is quite a pain, since it involves inventing an entire new piece
of infrastructure to install a custom Xlib error handler and give it a
queue of things to do. But it fixes a bug in which Unix pterm/PuTTY
crash out at startup if one of the root window's CUT_BUFFERn
properties contains something of a type other than STRING - in
particular, UTF8_STRING is not unheard-of.
For example, run
xprop -root -format CUT_BUFFER3 8u -set CUT_BUFFER3 "thingy"
and then pterm without this fix would have crashed.
Now you can run a command like "nmake /f Makefile.vc BUILDDIR=foo\",
which will cause all the generated files to appear in a subdirectory
of putty\windows. This is immediately useful for testing multiple
build configurations against each other by hand; later on I hope it
will also be a convenient way to run multiple build configurations in
the proper bob build.
This makes it easier to compile in multiple debugging modes, or on
Windows, without having to constantly paste annoying test-compile
commands out of comments in sshbn.c.
The new binary is compiled into the build directory, but not shipped
by 'make install', just like fuzzterm. Unlike fuzzterm, though, testbn
is also compiled on Windows, for which we didn't already have a
mechanism for building unshipped binaries; I've done the very simplest
thing for the moment, of providing a target in Makefile.vc to delete
them.
In order to comply with the PuTTY makefile system's constraint of
never compiling the same object multiple times with different ifdefs,
I've also moved testbn's main() out into its own source file.
By default Windows processes have wide open ACLs which allow interference
by other processes running as the same user. Adjust our ACL to make this
a bit harder.
Because it's useful to protect PuTTYtel as well, carve winsecur.c into
advapi functions and wincapi.c for crypt32 functions.
I'm about to want to make a change to all those functions at once, and
since they're almost identical, it seemed easiest to pull them out
into a common helper. The new source file be_misc.c is intended to
contain helper code common to all network back ends (crypto and
non-crypto, in particular), and initially it contains a
backend_socket_log() function which is the common part of ssh_log(),
telnet_log(), rlogin_log() etc.
It's for regression testing and fuzzing, so there's no use for it if
you're not a developer working on the source.
Leaving it out of the 'make install' target in Makefile.gtk is no
trouble because that's already handled manually in Recipe by inserting
a giant hairy Makefile fragment to do the installation. But
Makefile.am was just setting bin_PROGRAMS to the full set of binaries
built, so for that one, I had to invent a new Recipe program category
[UT] which moves a particular binary into noinst_PROGRAMS.
While I was at it, I've retired the [M] program category, which has
been lying around unused since Ben's old Mac OS pre-X port.
Starting up the random number generator is by far the slowest part of
plink's startup, and randomness is bad for fuzzing, so disabling it
should make fuzzing more effective.
They've now deprecated gtk_dialog_get_action_area, because they really
want a dialog box's action area to be filled with nothing but buttons
controlled by GTK which end the dialog with a response code. But we're
accustomed to putting all sorts of other things in our action area -
non-buttons, buttons that don't end the dialog, and sub-widgets that
do layout - and so I think it's no longer sensible to be trying to
coerce our use cases into GtkDialog.
Hence, I'm introducing a set of wrapper functions which equivocate
between a GtkDialog for GTK1 and GTK2, and a GtkWindow with a vbox in
it for GTK3, and I'll lay out the action area by hand.
(Not everything has sensible layout and margins in the new GTK3 system
yet, but I can sort that out later.)
Because the new functions are needed by gtkask.c, which doesn't link
against gtkdlg.c or include putty.h, I've put them in a new source
file and header file pair gtkmisc.[ch] which is common to gtkask and
the main GTK edifice.
PuTTY's main mb_to_wc() function is all very well for embedding in
fiddly data pipelines, but for the simple job of turning a C string
into a C wide string, really I want something much more like
dupprintf. So here is one.
I've had to put it in a new separate source file miscucs.c rather than
throwing it into misc.c, because misc.c is linked into tools that
don't also include a module providing the internal Unicode API (winucs
or uxucs). The new miscucs.c appears only in Unicode-using tools.
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.
I've written my own analogue of OpenSSH's ssh-askpass. At the moment,
it's contained inside Pageant proper, though it could easily be
compiled into a standalone binary as well or instead.
Unlike OpenSSH's version, I don't use a GTK edit box; instead I just
process key events myself and append them to a buffer. The big
advantage of doing this is that I can arrange for ^W and ^U to
function as they do in terminal line editing, i.e. delete a word or
delete the whole line.
^W in particular is really valuable when typing a multiple-word
passphrase unseen. If you feel yourself making the kind of typo in
which you're not sure if you pressed six keys or just five, you can
hit ^W and restart just that word, without either having to go right
back to the beginning or carry on and see if you feel lucky.
A delete-word function would of course be an information leak in even
an obscured edit box (displaying a blob per character), so instead I
give a visual acknowledgment of keypresses by a more ad-hoc means: I
display three lights in the box, and every meaningful keypress turns
off the currently active one and instead turns on a randomly selected
one of the others. (So the lit light doesn't even indicate _mod 3_ how
many keys have been pressed.)
This brings in the code we'll need to request passphrases from the
terminal, and to talk to an existing SSH agent as a client.
Adding uxcons.c required adjusting the set of stub functions in
uxpgnt.c: uxcons.c removed the need for several, but added one of its
own (log_eventlog). A net win, though.
This is much more like ssh-agent than the Windows version is - it sets
SSH_AUTH_SOCK and SSH_AGENT_PID as its means of being found by other
processes, rather than Windows Pageant's approach of establishing
itself in a well-known location. But the actual agent code is the same
as Windows Pageant.
For the moment, this is an experimental utility and I don't expect it
to be useful to many people; its immediate use to me is that it
provides a way to test and debug the agent code on Unix, and also to
use the agent interface as a convenient way to exercise public key
functions I want to debug. And of course it means I can be constantly
using and testing my own code, on whatever platform I happen to be
using. In the further future, I have a list of possible features I
might add to it, but I don't know which ones I'll decide are
worthwhile.
One feature I've already put in is a wider range of lifetime
management options than ssh-agent: the -X mode causes Pageant to make
a connection to your X display, and automatically terminate when that
connection closes, so that it has the same lifetime as your X session
without having to do the cumbersome trick of exec()ing the subsequent
session-management process.
I'm aiming for windows/winpgnt.c to only contain the parts of Windows
Pageant that are actually to do with handling the Windows API, and for
all the actual agent logic to be cross-platform.
This commit is a start: I've moved every function and internal
variable that was easy to move. But it doesn't get all the way there -
there's still a lot of logic in add_keyfile() and get_keylist*() that
would be good to move out to cross-platform code, but it's harder
because that code is currently quite intertwined with details of
Windows OS interfacing such as printing message boxes and passphrase
prompts and calling back out to agent_query if the Pageant doing that
job isn't the primary one.
This is import only, for the moment: I haven't written an exporter
yet. Also, we currently don't support the format's full generality - a
new-style OpenSSH key file can contain multiple keys, but this code
currently only handles files with one key in them. That should be easy
to change, though, given only a little UI.
This provides support for ECDSA public keys, for both hosts and users,
and also ECDH key exchange. Supported curves are currently just the
three NIST curves required by RFC 5656.
I've shifted away from using the SVN revision number as a monotonic
version identifier (replacing it in the Windows version resource with
a count of days since an arbitrary epoch), and I've removed all uses
of SVN keyword expansion (replacing them with version information
written out by Buildscr).
While I'm at it, I've done a major rewrite of the affected code which
centralises all the computation of the assorted version numbers and
strings into Buildscr, so that they're all more or less alongside each
other rather than scattered across multiple source files.
I've also retired the MD5-based manifest file system. A long time ago,
it seemed like a good idea to arrange that binaries of PuTTY would
automatically cease to identify themselves as a particular upstream
version number if any changes were made to the source code, so that if
someone made a local tweak and distributed the result then I wouldn't
get blamed for the results. Since then I've decided the whole idea is
more trouble than it's worth, so now distribution tarballs will have
version information baked in and people can just cope with that.

Manfred Schwarb points out that when I moved the autoconf machinery up
from the unix subdirectory to the top level, in r10141, I missed a
couple of lingering $(srcdir)/.. in the make rule for version.o, as a
result of which the automatic checking of the manifest wasn't doing
its thing and tools built from a standard .tar.gz were reporting as
'Unidentified build'.
[originally from svn r10201]
[r10141 == a947c49bec]
Previously, 'configure' and its assorted machinery lived in the 'unix'
subdir, because that seemed like a clean place to keep it given that
all the other per-platform Makefiles live in their platform
directories. However, this never sat all that happily with autotools,
and even less so now that it likes to have object file pathnames
parallel source file pathnames: if you have Makefile.am refer to
source files outside its subdir as "../terminal.c" and enable
subdir-objects then any out-of-tree build calls the corresponding
object file "../terminal.o" and so your build products mostly end up
at the directory above your build dir! And as of autotools 1.14 my
previous compensatory bodge of prefixing every source file path in
Makefile.am with "$(srcdir)" has stopped working too.
So I'm giving in to necessity, and changing policy by moving the
configure machinery up to the top level of the source tree where
autotools will be less confused by it. This should not be taken as any
indication of the primacy of the Unix port, only of the recalcitrance
of autotools.
Whereas before we had a trivial script called 'configure' at the top
level that invoked unix/configure to effectively do an 'out-of-tree
build' (for make purposes) at the top level of the source tree, we now
have a similar script in unix/configure. So this _should_ make very
little difference: people who were previously running configure from
the top level should still be able to, and likewise people who were
running it from the unix subdir.
[originally from svn r10141]
Thanks to Mike Edenfield for the initial version of this patch; I've
polished it up a bit (in particular inventing a more overengineered
GUID generation strategy) but most of it is his.
[originally from svn r10112]
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.
[originally from svn r10083]
There's now a winsecur.[ch], which centralises helper functions using
the Windows security stuff in advapi.h (currently just get_user_sid),
and also centralises the run-time loading of those functions and
checking they're all there.
[originally from svn r10082]
It's now kept in a separate module, where it can be reused
conveniently for other kinds of Windows HANDLE that I want to wrap in
the PuTTY Socket abstraction - for example, the named pipes that I
shortly plan to use for the Windows side of connection-sharing IPC.
[originally from svn r10066]
This isn't yet used, but I plan to use it in situations where you have
to report errors by returning a valid Socket on which the client wlil
call sk_socket_error, but in fact you notice the error _before_
instantiating your usual kind of Socket. The resulting Socket is
usable for nothing except reading out the error string and closing it.
[originally from svn r10065]
It was one of those things that went in ages ago on Windows and never
got replicated in the Unix front end. And it needn't be: ldisc.c is a
perfect place to put it, since it knows which of the data it's sending
is based on a keystroke and which is automatically generated, and it
also has access to the terminal context. So now a keypress can
interrupt a runaway paste on all platforms.
[originally from svn r10025]
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.

The automake docs observe that the BUILT_SOURCES list is only

targets, so the sequence './configure && make plink' from a freshly
unpacked tar file would previously fail for lack of empty.h.
If empty.h had important _content_ that needed to be built at compile
time, of course, I wouldn't be able to fix it like this; but since the
only important thing is the timestamp, I can just make sure it already
exists at the time of first build.

nonstandard port number when loading a saved session.
Occurs because those tools include be_none.c which defines no entries
in backends[] at all, as a result of which settings.c doesn't
recognise the word 'ssh' in the saved session's protocol field and
instead sets the protocol to something idiotic - which _then_ means
that when pscp.c forces the protocol to PROT_SSH, it also resets the
port number as it would when overriding a saved session specifying a
protocol other than SSH.
The immediate solution is to define a new be_ssh.c citing only
ssh_backend, and include that in the SSH-only tools. However, I wonder
if a better approach (perhaps when I redesign session loading and
saving) would be not to be so clever, and just have all the tools
contain a complete list of known protocol names for purposes of
understanding what's in the saved session data, and complain if you
try to use one they don't know how to actually speak.

mkfiles.pl no longer generates a Makefile.in, but instead generates a
Makefile.am on which mkauto.sh runs automake. This means that the
autoconfigured makefile now does build-time dependency tracking (a
standard feature of automake-generated makefiles), and is generally
more like what Unix people will expect.
Some of the old-style make command-line settings (VER=-DRELEASE=foo,
XFLAGS=-DDEBUG) will still work; the COMPAT settings are better done
by autoconfiguration, and my habitual 'XFLAGS="-g -O0"' for an easily
debuggable build will actually not work any more because CFLAGS is
specified _after_ XFLAGS, so I should instead write 'make CFLAGS=-O0'
(-g is the default in automake, removed at 'make install' time).
The new makefile will automatically degrade into one that builds the
command-line tools only, in the case where GTK could not be found. In
principle, therefore, it should be an adequate replacement for _both_
the static Unix makefiles, Makefile.gtk and Makefile.ux. I haven't
actually retired those in this commit, but I'm pretty tempted.
[originally from svn r9239]
'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.

icon, even if the program isn't running at the time, to be presented
with an application-defined collection of helpful links). The current
jump list is updated every time a saved session is loaded, and shows
the last few launchable saved sessions (i.e. not those like Default
Settings) that were loaded. Also, if Pageant or PuTTYgen or both is in
the same directory as the PuTTY binary, the jump list will present
links to launch those too.
Based on a patch sent last year by Daniel B. Roy, though it's barely
recognisable any more...

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.

strings more rigorously, and then we look up the local X authority
data in .Xauthority _ourself_ rather than delegating to an external
xauth program. This is (negligibly) more efficient on Unix, assuming
I haven't got it wrong in some subtle way, but its major benefit is
that we can now support X authority lookups on Windows as well
provided the user points us at an appropriate X authority file in
the standard format. A new Windows-specific config option has been
added for this purpose.

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.)

Morally, this should be defined for all toolchains, not just MinGW/Cygwin, but I'll leave that to people who have those toolchains.

and various calls to WinHelp() have been centralised into a new file
winhelp.c, which in turn has been modified to detect a .CHM file as
well as .HLP and select between them as appropriate. It explicitly
tries to load HHCTRL.OCX and use GetProcAddress, meaning that it
_should_ still work correctly on pre-HTML-Help platforms, falling
gracefully back to WinHelp, but although I tested this by
temporarily renaming my own HHCTRL.OCX I haven't yet been able to
test it on a real HTML-Help-free platform.
Also in this checkin: a new .but file and docs makefile changes to
make it convenient to build the sources for a .CHM. As yet, owing to
limitations of Halibut's CHM support, I'm not able to write a .CHM
directly, more's the pity.

in place of making a network connection. This has involved a couple
of minor infrastructure changes:
- New dlg_label_change() function in the dialog.h interface, which
alters the label on a control. Only used, at present, to switch
the Host Name and Port boxes into Serial Line and Speed, which
means that any platform not implementing serial connections (i.e.
currently all but Windows) does not need to actually do anything
in this function. Yet.
- New small piece of infrastructure: cfg_launchable() determines
whether a Config structure describes a session ready to be
launched. This was previously determined by seeing if it had a
non-empty host name, but it has to check the serial line as well
so there's a centralised function for it. I haven't gone through
all front ends and arranged for this function to be used
everywhere it needs to be; so far I've only checked Windows.
- Similarly, cfg_dest() returns the destination of a connection
(host name or serial line) in a text format suitable for putting
into messages such as `Unable to connect to %s'.

thread-based approach to stdin and stdout, wraps it in a halfway
sensible API, and makes it a globally available service across all
network tools.
There is no direct functionality enhancement from this checkin:
winplink.c now talks to the new API instead of doing it all
internally, but does nothing different as a result.
However, this should lay the groundwork for several diverse pieces
of work in future: pipe-based ProxyCommand on Windows, a serial port
back end, and (hopefully) a pipe-based means of communicating with
Pageant, which should have sensible blocking behaviour and hence
permit asynchronous agent requests and decrypt-on-demand.

Some .rc files are now #included in others. In order to keep MSVC
project files working, these have been renamed to .rc2; there may exist
a better solution.
(This checkin also includes the documentation tweak missing from r6367.)
Testing performed:
- MinGW (cross-compiler): works
- VC nmake: works (tested with VC6)
- VC project files: builds with VERSIONINFO resource (no VER variable though)
- Borland: an old version of this patch was tested with it and more or
less worked, except that some of the VERSIONINFO strings were apparently
not terminated properly. Not attempted to work around this.
- LCC: not tested. Some fixes are in there from the last time we tried
this, but then the build ultimately failed and I haven't tried this
since that was fixed.
- Dev-C++: untested. (Haven't done anything special.)
- Unix Gtk/autoconf Makefiles work as before.
