This will be useful if someone gets a mysterious Windows error on a
system configured into a language we don't speak - if they cut and
paste the error message to send to us, then we won't have to try to
translate it.

XP doesn't have it, and I think having connection sharing work without
its privacy enhancement is better than having it not work at all.
[originally from svn r10087]
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 was only actually used in X11 and port forwarding, to find internal
state structures given only the Socket that ssh.c held. So now that
that lookup has been reworked to be the sensible way round,
private_ptr is no longer used for anything and can be removed.
[originally from svn r10075]
This commit adds two new support modules, winnpc.c and winnps.c, which
deal respectively with being a client and server of a Windows named
pipe (which, in spite of what Unix programmers will infer from that
name, is actually closer to Windows's analogue of a Unix-domain
socket). Each one provides a fully featured Socket wrapper around the
hairy Windows named pipe API, so that the rest of the code base should
be able to use these interchangeably with ordinary sockets and hardly
notice the difference.
As part of this work, I've introduced a mechanism in winhandl.c to
permit it to store handles of event objects on behalf of other Windows
support modules and deal with passing them to applications' main event
loops as necessary. (Perhaps it would have been cleaner to split
winhandl.c into an event-object tracking layer analogous to uxsel, and
the handle management which is winhandl.c's proper job, but this is
less disruptive for the present.)
[originally from svn r10069]
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.
[originally from svn r10068]
That's been a FIXME in the code for ages, because it's difficult to
get winhandl.c to stop an already-started read from a handle (since
the read is a blocking system call running in a separate thread). But
I now realise it isn't absolutely necessary to do so - you can just
buffer one lot of data from winhandl and _then_ tell it to stop.
[originally from svn r10067]
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 restores PuTTY's backward compatibility to versions of Windows
too old to have ToUnicodeEx in their system libraries, which was
accidentally broken in 0.63.

A couple of users report that my recent reworking of the Windows
top-level message loop has led to messages occasionally being lost,
and MsgWaitForMultipleObjects blocking when it ought to have been
called with a zero timeout. I haven't been able to reproduce this
myself, but according to one reporter, PeekMessage(PM_NOREMOVE) is
effective at checking for a non-empty message queue in a way that
GetQueueStatus is not. Switch to using that instead. Thanks to Eric
Flumerfelt for debugging and testing help.
[originally from svn r10057]
Jochen Erwied points out that once you've used PeekMessage to remove
_one_ message from the message queue, MsgWaitForMultipleObjects will
consider the whole queue to have been 'read', or at least looked at
and deemed uninteresting, and so it will block until a further message
comes in. Hence, my change in r10040 which stops us from looping on
PeekMessage until the queue is empty has the effect of causing the
rest of the message queue not to be acted on until a new message comes
in to unblock it. Fix by checking if the queue is nonempty in advance
of calling MsgWaitForMultipleObjects, and if so, giving it a zero
timeout just as we do if there's a pending toplevel callback.

Martin Prikryl helpfully points out that when I revamped the socket
error mechanism using toplevel callbacks, I also accidentally passed
the error code to the wrong function. Use winsock_error_string instead.
[originally from svn r10048]
Unix GUI programs should not say 'Fatal Error' in the message box
title, and Plink should not destroy its logging context as a side
effect of printing a non-fatal error. Both appear to have been due to
inattentive cut and paste from the pre-existing fatal error functions.
[originally from svn r10044]
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]
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]
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 setting a must_close_session flag and having special code
in the message loop to check it, we'll schedule the call to
close_session using the new top-level callback system.
[originally from svn r10021]
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.

PuTTY does not trim a colon suffix off the hostname if it contains
_more than one_ colon. This allows IPv6 literals to be entered.
(Really we need to do a much bigger revamp of all uses of hostnames to
arrange that square-bracketed IPv6 literals work consistently, but
this at least removes a regression over 0.62.)

the terminal emulator, because the palette escape sequence parser
contains its own bounds check before even calling palette_set().

more or less abandoned, but that's no excuse for leaving obviously

This enables support for keys which generate Unicode characters that

(I haven't chosen to use FormatMessage unconditionally, because it
comes out with enormous messages along the lines of "No connection
could be made because the target machine actively refused it" in place
of "Connection refused" and I'm Unixy enough to prefer the latter.
Also, on older Windowses, Winsock error codes are in a separate API
segment and don't work with FormatMessage anyway.)

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.

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.

The main reason for this is to stop it from taking up a fixed large

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).

I think I have to consider this to be a separate but related change to

'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.

code (as introduced in r9043), so that it uses the user SID rather
than the default SID.
This does change the access-control model, in that a Pageant running
with administrator privilege will now serve keys to an unprivileged
PuTTY running as the same user who started Pageant. Owen and I think
this isn't a problem (in particular, it will still not serve keys to a
_different_ user).
More importantly, making the Pageant client and server code work the
same way means that PuTTY and Pageant can still talk to each other
when UAC is turned off, which we've had several reports of r9043
having broken.
