It's now a static in the main source file of each application that
uses it, and isn't accessible from any other source file unless the
main one passes it by reference.
In fact, there were almost no instances of the latter: only the
config-box functions in windlg.c were using 'conf' by virtue of its
globalness, and it's easy to make those take it as a parameter.
It's silly to set it at each call site of restrict_process_acl() if
that function returns success! More sensible to have it be a flag in
the same source file as restrict_process_acl(), set as an automatic
_side effect_ of success.
I've renamed the variable itself, and the global name 'restricted_acl'
is now a query function that asks winsecur.c whether that operation
has been (successfully) performed.
These global variables are only ever used by load_settings, which uses
them to vary the default protocol and port number in the absence of
any specification elsewhere. So there's no real need for them to be
universally accessible via the awkward GLOBAL mechanism: they can be
statics inside settings.c, with accessor functions that can set them.
That was the last GLOBAL in putty.h, so I've removed the definition of
the macro GLOBAL itself as well. There are still some GLOBALs in the
Windows subdirectory, though.
I haven't managed to make this one _not_ be a mutable variable, but at
least it's not global across all tools any more: it lives in cmdline.c
along with the code that decides what to set it to, and cmdline.c
exports a query method to ask for its value.
Another ugly mutable global variable gone: now, instead of this
variable being defined in cmdline.c and written to by everyone's
main(), it's defined _alongside_ everyone's main() as a constant, and
cmdline.c just refers to it.
A bonus is that now nocmdline.c doesn't have to define it anyway for
tools that don't use cmdline.c. But mostly, it didn't need to be
mutable, so better for it not to be.
While I'm at it, I've also fiddled with the bit flags that go in it,
to define their values automatically using a list macro instead of
manually specifying each one to be a different power of 2.
This is another piece of the old 2003 attempt at async agent requests.
Nothing ever calls this function (in particular, the new working
version of async-agent doesn't need it). Remove it completely, and all
its special-window-message implementations too.
(If we _were_ still using this function, then it would surely be
possible to fold it into the more recently introduced general
toplevel-callback system, and get rid of all this single-use special
code. But we're not, so removing it completely is even easier.)
In particular, this system was the only reason why Windows Plink paid
any attention to its message queue. So now I can make it call plain
WaitForMultipleObjects instead of MsgWaitForMultipleObjects.
This was the easiest flag to remove: nothing ever checks it at all!
It was part of an abandoned early attempt to make Pageant requests
asynchronous. The flag was added in commit 135abf244 (April 2003); the
code that used it was #ifdef-ed out in commit 98d735fde (January 2004),
and removed completely in commit f864265e3 (January 2017).
We now have an actually working system for async agent requests on
Windows, via the new named-pipe IPC. And we also have a perfectly good
way to force a particular agent request to work synchronously: just
pass NULL as the callback function pointer. All of that works just
fine, without ever using this flag. So begone!
The global 'int flags' has always been an ugly feature of this code
base, and I suddenly thought that perhaps it's time to start throwing
it out, one flag at a time, until it's totally unused.
My first target is FLAG_VERBOSE. This was usually set by cmdline.c
when it saw a -v option on the program's command line, except that GUI
PuTTY itself sets it unconditionally on startup. And then various bits
of the code would check it in order to decide whether to print a given
message.
In the current system of front-end abstraction traits, there's no
_one_ place that I can move it to. But there are two: every place that
checked FLAG_VERBOSE has access to either a Seat or a LogPolicy. So
now each of those traits has a query method for 'do I want verbose
messages?'.
A good effect of this is that subsidiary Seats, like the ones used in
Uppity for the main SSH server module itself and the server end of
shell channels, now get to have their own verbosity setting instead of
inheriting the one global one. In fact I don't expect any code using
those Seats to be generating any messages at all, but if that changes
later, we'll have a way to control it. (Who knows, perhaps logging in
Uppity might become a thing.)
As part of this cleanup, I've added a new flag to cmdline_tooltype,
called TOOLTYPE_NO_VERBOSE_OPTION. The unconditionally-verbose tools
now set that, and it has the effect of making cmdline.c disallow -v
completely. So where 'putty -v' would previously have been silently
ignored ("I was already verbose"), it's now an error, reminding you
that that option doesn't actually do anything.
Finally, the 'default_logpolicy' provided by uxcons.c and wincons.c
(with identical definitions) has had to move into a new file of its
own, because now it has to ask cmdline.c for the verbosity setting as
well as asking console.c for the rest of its methods. So there's a new
file clicons.c which can only be included by programs that link
against both cmdline.c _and_ one of the *cons.c, and I've renamed the
logpolicy to reflect that.
These were just too footling for even me to bother splitting up into
multiple commits:
- a couple of int -> size_t changes left out of the big-bang commit
0cda34c6f
- a few 'const' added to pointer-type casts that are only going to be
read from (leaving out the const provokes a warning if the pointer
was const _before_ the cast)
- a couple of 'return' statements trying to pass the void return of
one function through to another.
- another missing (void) in a declaration in putty.h (but this one
didn't cause any knock-on confusion).
- a few tweaks to macros, to arrange that they eat a semicolon after
the macro call (extra do ... while (0) wrappers, mostly, and one
case where I had to do it another way because the macro included a
variable declaration intended to remain in scope)
- reworked key_type_to_str to stop putting an unreachable 'break'
statement after every 'return'
- removed yet another type-check of a function loaded from a Windows
system DLL
- and finally, a totally spurious semicolon right after an open brace
in mainchan.c.
A trawl through the code with -Wmissing-prototypes and
-Wmissing-variable-declarations turned up a lot of things that should
have been internal to a particular source file, but were accidentally
global. Keep the namespace clean by making them all static.
(Also, while I'm here, a couple of them were missing a 'const': the
ONE and ZERO arrays in sshcrcda.c, and EMPTY_WINDOW_TITLE in
terminal.c.)
These are all intended to ensure that the declarations of things in
header files are in scope where the same thing is subsequently
defined, to make it harder to define it in a way that doesn't match.
(For example, the new #include in winnet.c would have caught the
just-fixed mis-definition of platform_get_x11_unix_address.)
Similarly to the previous commit, this function had an inconsistent
parameter list between Unix and Windows, because the Windows source
file that defines it (winnet.c) didn't include ssh.h where its
prototype lives, so the compiler never checked.
Luckily, the discrepancy was that the Windows version of the function
was declared as taking an extra parameter which it ignored, so the fix
is very easy.
In commit 09954a87c I introduced the portfwdmgr_connect_socket()
system, which opened a port forwarding given a callback to create the
Socket itself, with the aim of using it to make forwardings to Unix-
domain sockets and Windows named pipes (both initially for agent
forwarding).
But I forgot that a year and a bit ago, in commit 834396170, I already
introduced a similar low-level system for creating a PortForwarding
around an unusual kind of socket: the portfwd_raw_new() system, which
in place of a callback uses a two-phase setup protocol (you create the
socket in between the two setup calls, and can roll it back if the
socket can't be created).
There's really no need to have _both_ these systems! So now I'm
merging them, which is to say, I'm enhancing portfwd_raw_new to have
the one new feature it needs, and throwing away the newer system
completely. The new feature is to be able to control the initial state
of the 'ready' flag: portfwd_raw_new was always used for initiating
port forwardings in response to an incoming local connection, which
means you need to start off with ready=false and set it true when the
other end of the SSH connection sends back OPEN_CONFIRMATION. Now it's
being used for initiating port forwardings in response to a
CHANNEL_OPEN, we need to be able to start with ready=true.
This commit reverts 09954a87c2 and its
followup fix 12aa06ccc9, and simplifies
the agent_connect system down to a single trivial function that makes
a Socket given a Plug.
This was pointed out as a compiler warning when I test-built with
up-to-date clang-cl. It looks as if it would cause the IDM_FULLSCREEN
item on the system menu to be wrongly greyed/ungreyed, but in fact I
think it's benign, because MF_BYCOMMAND == 0. So it's _just_ a
warning fix, luckily!
A user reports that Visual Studio 2013 and earlier have printf
implementations in their C library that don't support the 'z' modifier
to indicate that an integer argument is size_t. The 'I' modifier
apparently works in place of it.
To avoid littering ifdefs everywhere, I've invented my own inttypes.h
style macros to wrap size_t formatting directives, which are defined
to %zu and %zx normally, or %Iu and %Ix in old-VS mode. Those are in
defs.h, and they're used everywhere that a %z might otherwise get into
the Windows build.
In an early draft of commit de38a4d82 I used 'void *' as the reqid
type, and then I thought better of it and made it a special type of
its own, in keeping with my usual idea that it's better to have your
casts somewhat checked than totally unchecked. One remnant of the
'void *' version got past me. Now fixed.
A user reports that the ReadFile call in console_get_userpass_input
fails with ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY on Windows 7, and further reports
that this problem only happens if you tell ReadFile to read more than
31366 bytes in a single call.
That seems to be a thing that other people have found as well: I
turned up a similar workaround in Ruby's Win32 support module, except
that there it's for WriteConsole. So I'm reducing my arbitrary read
size of 64K to 16K, which is well under that limit.
This issue became noticeable in PuTTY as of the recent commit
cd6bc14f0, which reworked console_get_userpass_input to use strbufs.
Previously we were trying to read an amount proportional to the
existing size of the buffer, so as to grow the buffer exponentially to
save quadratic-time reallocation. That was OK in practice, since the
initial read size was nice and small. But in principle, the same bug
was present in that version of the code, just latent - if we'd ever
been called on to read a _really large_ amount of data, then
_eventually_ the input size parameter to ReadFile would have grown
beyond that mysterious limit!
This is a pure refactoring: no functional change expected.
This commit introduces two new small vtable-style APIs. One is
PageantClient, which identifies a particular client of the Pageant
'core' (meaning the code that handles each individual request). This
changes pageant_handle_msg into an asynchronous operation: you pass in
an agent request message and an identifier, and at some later point,
the got_response method in your PageantClient will be called with the
answer (and the same identifier, to allow you to match requests to
responses). The trait vtable also contains a logging system.
The main importance of PageantClient, and the reason why it has to
exist instead of just passing pageant_handle_msg a bare callback
function pointer and context parameter, is that it provides robustness
if a client stops existing while a request is still pending. You call
pageant_unregister_client, and any unfinished requests associated with
that client in the Pageant core will be cleaned up, so that you're
guaranteed that after the unregister operation, no stray callbacks
will happen with a stale pointer to that client.
The WM_COPYDATA interface of Windows Pageant is a direct client of
this API. The other client is PageantListener, the system that lives
in pageant.c and handles stream-based agent connections for both Unix
Pageant and the new Windows named-pipe IPC. More specifically, each
individual connection to the listening socket is a separate
PageantClient, which means that if a socket is closed abruptly or
suffers an OS error, that client can be unregistered and any pending
requests cancelled without disrupting other connections.
Users of PageantListener have a second client vtable they can use,
called PageantListenerClient. That contains _only_ logging facilities,
and at the moment, only Unix Pageant bothers to use it (and even that
only in debugging mode).
Finally, internally to the Pageant core, there's a new trait called
PageantAsyncOp which describes an agent request in the process of
being handled. But at the moment, it has only one trivial
implementation, which is handed the full response message already
constructed, and on the next toplevel callback, passes it back to the
PageantClient.
This is preparation to allow Pageant to be able to return to its GUI
main loop in the middle of handling a request (e.g. present a dialog
box to the user related to that particular request, and wait for the
user's response). In order to do that, we need the main thread's
Windows message loop to never be blocked by a WM_COPYDATA agent
request.
So I've split Pageant's previous hidden window into two hidden
windows, each with a subset of the original roles, and created in
different threads so that they get independent message loops. The one
in the main thread receives messages relating to Pageant's system tray
icon; the one in the subthread has the identity known to (old) Pageant
clients, and receives WM_COPYDATA messages only. Each WM_COPYDATA is
handled by passing the request back to the main thread via an event
object integrated into the Pageant main loop, and then waiting for a
second event object that the main thread will signal when the answer
comes back, and not returning from the WndProc handler until the
response arrives.
Hence, if an agent request received via WM_COPYDATA requires GUI
activity, then the main thread's GUI message loop will be able to do
that in parallel with all Pageant's other activity, including other
GUI activity (like the key list dialog box) and including responding
to other requests via named pipe.
I can't stop WM_COPYDATA requests from blocking _each other_, but this
allows them not to block anything else. And named-pipe requests block
nothing at all, so as clients switch over to the new IPC, even that
blockage will become less and less common.
Those chomp operations in wincons.c and uxcons.c looked ugly, and I'm
not totally convinced they couldn't underrun the buffer by 1 byte in
weird circumstances. strbuf_chomp is neater.
UBsan pointed out another memcpy from NULL (again with length 0) in
the prompts_t system. When I looked at it, I realised that firstly
prompt_ensure_result_size was an early not-so-good implementation of
sgrowarray_nm that would benefit from being replaced with a call to
the real one, and secondly, the whole system for storing prompt
results should really have been replaced with strbufs with the no-move
option, because that's doing all the same jobs better.
So, now each prompt_t holds a strbuf in place of its previous manually
managed string. prompt_ensure_result_size is gone (the console
prompt-reading functions use strbuf_append, and everything else just
adds to the strbuf in the usual marshal.c way). New functions exist to
retrieve a prompt_t's result, either by reference or copied.
These are better than my previous approach of just assigning to
sb->len, because firstly they check by assertion that the new length
is within range, and secondly they preserve the invariant that the
byte stored in the buffer just after the length runs out is \0.
Switched to using the new functions everywhere a grep could turn up
opportunities.
In setting up the ECC tests for cmdgen, I noticed that OpenSSH and
PuTTYgen disagree on the bit length to put in a key fingerprint for an
ed25519 key: we think 255, they think 256.
On reflection, I think 255 is more accurate, which is why I bodged
get_fp() in the test suite to ignore that difference when checking our
key fingerprint against OpenSSH's. But having done that, it now seems
silly that if you unnecessarily specify a bit count at ed25519
generation time, cmdgen will insist that it be 256!
255 is now permitted everywhere an ed25519 bit count is input. 256 is
also still allowed for backwards compatibility but 255 is preferred by
the error message if you give any other value.
Now they have names that are more consistent (no more userkey_this but
that_userkey); a bit shorter; and, most importantly, all the current
functions end in _f to indicate that they deal with keys stored in
disk files. I'm about to add a second set of entry points that deal
with keys via the more general BinarySource / BinarySink interface,
which will sit alongside these with a different suffix.
As in the previous commit, this means that agent_query() is now able
to operate in an asynchronous mode, so that if Pageant takes time to
answer a request, the GUI of the PuTTY instance making the request
won't be blocked.
Also as in the previous commit, we still fall back to the WM_COPYDATA
protocol if the new named pipe protocol isn't available.
Now that Pageant runs a named-pipe server as well as a WM_COPYDATA
server, we prefer the former (if available) for agent forwarding, for
the same reasons as on Unix: it lets us establish a simple raw-data
streaming connection instead of agentf.c's complicated message
boundary detection and buffer management, and if agent connections
ever become stateful, this technique will cope.
On Windows, another advantage of this change is that forwarded agent
requests can now be asynchronous: if the agent takes time to respond
to a request for any reason, then the rest of PuTTY's GUI and SSH
connection are not blocked, and you can carry on working while the
agent is thinking about the request.
(I didn't list that as a benefit of doing the same thing for Unix in
commit ae1148267, because on Unix, agent_query() could _already_ run
asynchronously. It's only on Windows that that's new.)
This reuses all the named-pipe IPC code I set up for connection
sharing a few years ago, to set up a named pipe with a predictable
name and speak the stream-oriented SSH agent protocol over it.
In this commit, we just set up the server, and there's no code that
speaks the client end of the new IPC yet. But my plan is that clients
should switch over to using this interface if possible, because it's
generally better: it doesn't have to be handled synchronously in the
middle of a GUI event loop (either in Pageant itself _or_ in its
client), and it's a better fit to the connection-oriented nature of
forwarded agent connections (so if any features ever appear in the
agent protocol that require state within a connection, we'll now be
able to support them).
This contains most of the guts of the previously monolithic function
new_named_pipe_client(), but it directly returns the HANDLE to the
opened pipe, or a string error message on failure.
new_named_pipe_client() is now a thin veneer on top of that, which
returns a Socket * by wrapping up the HANDLE into a HandleSocket or
the error message into an ErrorSocket as appropriate.
So it's now possible to connect to a named pipe, using all our usual
infrastructure (including in particular the ownership check of the
server, to defend against spoofing attacks), without having to have a
Socket-capable event loop in progress.
Windows Plink and PSFTP had very similar implementations, and now they
share one that lives in a new file winselcli.c. I've similarly moved
GUI PuTTY's implementation out of window.c into winselgui.c, where
other GUI programs wanting to do networking will be able to access
that too.
In the spirit of centralisation, I've also taken the opportunity to
make both functions use the reasonably complete winsock_error_string()
rather than (for some historical reason) each inlining a minimal
version that reports most errors as 'unknown'.
Historically, because of the way Windows Pageant's IPC works, PuTTY's
agent forwarding has always been message-oriented. The channel
implementation in agentf.c deals with receiving a data stream from the
remote agent client and breaking it up into messages, and then it
passes each message individually to agent_query().
On Unix, this is more work than is really needed, and I've always
meant to get round to doing the more obvious thing: making an agent
forwarding channel into simply a stream-oriented proxy, passing raw
data back and forth between the SSH channel and the local AF_UNIX
socket without having to know or care about the message boundaries in
the stream.
The portfwdmgr_connect_socket() facility introduced by the previous
commit is the missing piece of infrastructure to make that possible.
Now, the agent client module provides an API that includes a callback
you can pass to portfwdmgr_connect_socket() to open a streamed agent
connection, and the agent forwarding setup function tries to use that
where possible, only falling back to the message-based agentf.c system
if it can't be done. On Windows, the new piece of agent-client API
returns failure, so we still fall back to agentf.c there.
There are two benefits to doing it this way. One is that it's just
simpler and more robust: if PuTTY isn't trying to parse the agent
connection, then it has less work to do and fewer places to introduce
bugs. The other is that it's futureproof against changes in the agent
protocol: if any kind of extension is ever introduced that requires
keeping state within a single agent connection, or that changes the
protocol itself so that agentf's message-boundary detection stops
working, then this forwarding system will still work.
When I'm declaring a local instance of some context structure type to
pass to a function which will pass it in turn to a callback, I've
tended to use a declaration of the form
struct context actx, *ctx = &actx;
so that the outermost caller can initialise the context, and/or read
out fields of it afterwards, by the same syntax 'ctx->foo' that the
callback function will be using. So you get visual consistency between
the two functions that share this context.
It only just occurred to me that there's a much neater way to declare
a context struct of this kind, which still makes 'ctx' behave like a
pointer in the owning function, and doesn't need all that weird
verbiage or a spare variable name:
struct context ctx[1];
That's much nicer! I've switched to doing that in all existing cases I
could find, and also in a couple of cases where I hadn't previously
bothered to do the previous more cumbersome idiom.
The do_select function is called with a boolean parameter indicating
whether we're supposed to start or stop paying attention to network
activity on a given socket. So if we freeze and unfreeze the socket in
mid-session because of backlog, we'll call do_select(s, false) to
freeze it, and do_select(s, true) to unfreeze it.
But the implementation of do_select in the Windows SFTP code predated
the rigorous handling of socket backlogs, so it assumed that
do_select(s, true) would only be called at initialisation time, i.e.
only once, and therefore that it was safe to use that flag as a cue to
set up the Windows event object to associate with socket activity.
Hence, every time the socket was frozen and unfrozen, we would create
a new netevent at unfreeze time, leaking the old one.
I think perhaps part of the reason why that was hard to figure out was
that the boolean parameter was called 'startup' rather than 'enable'.
To make it less confusing the next time I read this code, I've also
renamed it, and while I was at it, adjusted another related comment.
This commit switches as many ssh_hash_free / ssh_hash_new pairs as
possible to reuse the previous hash object via ssh_hash_reset. Also a
few other cleanups: use the wrapper function hash_simple() where
possible, and I've also introduced ssh_hash_digest_nondestructive()
and switched to that where possible as well.
Up until now, it's been a variadic _function_, whose argument list
consists of 'const char *' ASCIZ strings to concatenate, terminated by
one containing a null pointer. Now, that function is dupcat_fn(), and
it's wrapped by a C99 variadic _macro_ called dupcat(), which
automatically suffixes the null-pointer terminating argument.
This has three benefits. Firstly, it's just less effort at every call
site. Secondly, it protects against the risk of accidentally leaving
off the NULL, causing arbitrary words of stack memory to be
dereferenced as char pointers. And thirdly, it protects against the
more subtle risk of writing a bare 'NULL' as the terminating argument,
instead of casting it explicitly to a pointer. That last one is
necessary because C permits the macro NULL to expand to an integer
constant such as 0, so NULL by itself may not have pointer type, and
worse, it may not be marshalled in a variadic argument list in the
same way as a pointer. (For example, on a 64-bit machine it might only
occupy 32 bits. And yet, on another 64-bit platform, it might work
just fine, so that you don't notice the mistake!)
I was inspired to do this by happening to notice one of those bare
NULL terminators, and thinking I'd better check if there were any
more. Turned out there were quite a few. Now there are none.
Thanks to Patrick Stekovic for pointing out that, unlike sensible IP
stacks, Windows requires a non-default socket option to prevent a
second application from binding to a port you were already listening
on, causing some of your incoming connections to be diverted.
This replaces the previous setsockopt that enabled SO_REUSEADDR, which
I put there a long time ago in order to fix an annoying behaviour if
you used the same listening socket twice in rapid succession (e.g. for
successive PuTTYs forwarding the same port) and the second one failed
to bind the listening port because a left-over connection from the
first one was still in TIME_WAIT and causing the port number to be
marked as used.
As far as I can see, SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE and SO_REUSEADDR are mutually
exclusive - if I try to set both, either way round, then setsockopt
returns failure on the second one - so if I have to set the former
then I _can't_ set the latter. And fortunately, re-testing on Windows
10, the TIME_WAIT problem that SO_REUSEADDR was supposed to solve
doesn't seem to exist any more: I deliberately tried listening on a
port that had a TIME_WAIT connection sitting on it, and it worked for
me even without SO_REUSEADDR.
(I can't remember now whether I definitely confirmed the TIME_WAIT
problem on a previous version of Windows, or whether I just assumed it
would happen on Windows in the same way as Linux, where I definitely
do remember observing it.)
While I'm changing that setsockopt call, I've also fixed its 'on'
parameter so that it's a BOOL rather than an int, in accordance with
the docs for WinSock setsockopt.
The message "Reusing a shared connection to this server" is sent to
the seat's output method during the call to ssh_init. In Windows
Plink, that output method wants to talk to the BinarySink stderr_bs
(or stdout_bs, but for this particular message, stderr). So we have to
have already set up stderr_bs by the time the backend init function is
called.
When I introduced the unreachable() macro in commit 0112936ef, I
searched the source code for assert(0) and assert(false), together
with their variant form assert(0 && "explanatory text"). But I didn't
search for assert(!"explanatory text"), which is the form I used to
use before finding that assert(0 && "text") seemed to be preferred in
other code bases.
So, here's a belated replacement of all the assert(!"stuff") macros
with further instances of unreachable().
The number of people has been steadily increasing who read our source
code with an editor that thinks tab stops are 4 spaces apart, as
opposed to the traditional tty-derived 8 that the PuTTY code expects.
So I've been wondering for ages about just fixing it, and switching to
a spaces-only policy throughout the code. And I recently found out
about 'git blame -w', which should make this change not too disruptive
for the purposes of source-control archaeology; so perhaps now is the
time.
While I'm at it, I've also taken the opportunity to remove all the
trailing spaces from source lines (on the basis that git dislikes
them, and is the only thing that seems to have a strong opinion one
way or the other).
Apologies to anyone downstream of this code who has complicated patch
sets to rebase past this change. I don't intend it to be needed again.
The RESIZE_EITHER resizing mode responds to a window resize by
changing the logical terminal size if the window is shown normally, or
by changing the font size to keep the terminal size the same if the
resize is a transition between normal and maximised state.
But a user pointed out that it's also possible for a window to receive
a WM_SIZE message while _remaining_ in maximised state, and that
PuTTY's resize logic didn't allow for that possibility. It occurs when
there's a change in the amount of available screen space for the
window to be maximised _in_: e.g. when the video resolution is
reconfigured, or when you reconnect to a Remote Desktop session using
a client window of a different size, or even when you toggle the
'Automatically hide the taskbar' option in the Windows taskbar settings.
In that situation, the right thing seems to be for PuTTY to continue
to go with the policy of changing the font size rather than the
logical terminal size. In other words, we prefer to change the font
size when the resize is _from_ maximised state, _to_ maximised state,
_or both_.
That's easily implemented by removing the check of the 'was_zoomed'
flag, in the case where we've received a WM_SIZE message with the
state SIZE_MAXIMIZED: once we know the transition is _to_ maximised
state, it doesn't matter whether or not it was also _from_ it. (But we
still set the was_zoomed flag to the most recent maximised status, so
that we can recognise transitions _out_ of maximised mode.)
Commit f2e61275f converted the integer casts in cmpforsearch to
uintptr_t from unsigned long. But it left the companion function
cmpfortree alone, presumably on the grounds that the compiler didn't
report a warning for that one.
But those two functions (cmpfortree and cmpforsearch) are used with
the same tree234, so they're supposed to implement the same sorting
criterion. And the thing they're actually comparing, namely the
Windows API typedef SOCKET, is a pointer-sized integer. So there was a
latent bug here in which cmpforsearch was comparing all 64 bits of the
pointer, while cmpfortree was only comparing the low-order 32.
Set the initial buffer size to MAX_PATH + 1 (261). Increment e->i before
the function returns instead of incrementing it in the call to
RegEnumKey.
The initial buffer size was too small to fit a subkey with a 256
characters long name plus '\0', the first call to RegEnumKey would fail
with ERROR_MORE_DATA, sgrowarray would grow the buffer, and RegEnumKey
would be called again.
However, because e->i was incremented in the first RegEnumKey call, the
second call would get the next subkey and the subkey with the long name
would be skipped.
Saving a session with a 256 characters long name would trigger this
problem. The session would be saved in the registry, but Putty would not
be able to display it in the saved sessions list.
Pageant didn't have this problem since it uses a different function to get
the saved sessions and the size of the buffer used is MAX_PATH + 1. Pageant
and Putty would display slightly different lists of saved sessions.
I've only just noticed that it doesn't do anything at all!
Almost every implementation of the Socket vtable provides a flush()
method which does nothing, optionally with a comment explaining why
it's OK to do nothing. The sole exception is the wrapper Proxy_Socket,
which implements the method during its setup phase by setting a
pending_flush flag, so that when its sub-socket is later created, it
can call sk_flush on that. But since the sub-socket's sk_flush will do
nothing, even that is completely pointless!
Source control history says that sk_flush was introduced by Dave
Hinton in 2001 (commit 7b0e08270), who was going to use it for some
purpose involving the SSL Telnet support he was working on at the
time. That SSL support was never finished, and its vestigial
declarations in network.h were removed in 2015 (commit 42334b65b). So
sk_flush is just another vestige of that abandoned work, which I
should have removed in the latter commit but overlooked.
If the agent sent a response whose length field describes an interval
of memory larger than the file-mapping object the message is supposed
to be stored in, we shouldn't return that message to the client as if
nothing is wrong. Treat that the same as a failure to receive any
response at all.
