In the course of recent refactorings I noticed a couple of cases where
we were doing old-fashioned preallocation of a char array with some
conservative maximum size, then writing into it via *p++ or similar
and hoping we got the calculation right.
Now we have strbuf and dupcat, so we shouldn't ever have to do that.
Fixed as many cases as I could find by searching for allocations of
the form 'snewn(foo, char)'.
Particularly worth a mention was the Windows GSSAPI setup code, which
was directly using the Win32 Registry API, and looks much more legible
using the windows/utils/registry.c wrappers. (But that was why I had
to enhance them in the previous commit so as to be able to open
registry keys read-only: without that, the open operation would
actually fail on this key, which is not user-writable.)
Also unix/askpass.c, which was doing a careful reallocation of its
buffer to avoid secrets being left behind in the vacated memory -
which is now just a matter of ensuring we called strbuf_new_nm().
We had carefully calculated, for each control in an aligned group, how
much _that control_ should move downwards by. But then, because I
carelessly referred to the wrong variable name, we actually moved the
wrong one - not the control we'd just calculated the offset for, but
always the _last_ one in the group, which was the one the top-level
alignment code was processing at the point we began this loop.
As a result, the dropdown list in the front-page protocol selector was
hilariously misaligned. Now it's back where it should be.
My bulk indentation check also turned up a lot of cases where a run-on
function call or if statement didn't have its later lines aligned
correctly relative to the open paren.
I think this is quite easy to do by getting things out of
sync (editing the first line of the function call and forgetting to
update the rest, perhaps even because you never _saw_ the rest during
a search-replace). But a few didn't quite fit into that pattern, in
particular an outright misleading case in unix/askpass.c where the
second line of a call was aligned neatly below the _wrong_ one of the
open parens on the opening line.
Restored as many alignments as I could easily find.
Most of the Windows-specific dialog control construction functions
were passing their string parameters as 'char *' even though they were
string literals. Apparently none of our previous giant constification
patches spotted that.
Partly, this just seems more sensible, since it may well vary per
platform beyond the ability of intorptr to specify. But more
immediately it means the definition of the HELPCTX macro doesn't have
to use the P() function from dialog.h, which isn't defined in any
circumstances outside the config subsystem. And I'm about to want to
put a help context well outside that subsystem.
This manipulates the selection inside an edit box, to select a
specific range of characters in the contained text. The idea is that
you can use it as a means of error highlighting, if the user has
entered something invalid in that edit box and you want to draw their
attention to the specific location of the part you're unhappy with.
This is for cases where they're presenting information to the user
that wouldn't wrap sensibly anyway (such as an SSH key fingerprint
which is mostly all one word), and in which newlines might be
significant.
On GTK, the implementing widget is still a GtkLabel, but without the
wrap flag set, and wrapped in a GtkScrolledWindow in case the text is
too wide to fit.
On Windows, I've switched to using an edit box instead of a static
text control, making it readonly, and borderless via my existing
MakeDlgItemBorderless helper function. This doesn't get you an actual
scrollbar, but it does mean you can scroll left and right by dragging
with the mouse.
Various alignments I want to do in the host CA box have shown up
deficiencies in this system, so I've reworked it a bit.
Firstly, you can now specify more than two controls to be tied
together with an align_next_to (e.g. multiple checkboxes alongside
something else).
Secondly, as well as forcing the controls to be the same height as
each other, the layout algorithm will also move the later controls
further _downward_, so that their top y positions also line up. Until
now that hasn't been necessary, because they lined up already.
In the GTK implementation of this via the Columns class, I've renamed
'columns_force_same_height' to 'columns_align_next_to', and similarly
for some of the internal fields, since the latter change makes the
previous names a misnomer.
In the Windows implementation, I found it most convenient to set this
up by following a linked list of align_next_to fields backwards. But
it won't always be convenient to initialise them that way, so I've
also written a crude normaliser that will rewrite those links into a
canonical form. But I only call that on Windows; it's unnecessary in
GTK, where the Columns class provides plenty of per-widget extra
storage so I just keep each alignment class as a circular list.
Instead of an edit box together with a Browse button that pops up a
sub-dialog, this is _just_ the browse button, only now it has a
user-defined title. I'm about to want to use this for loading CA
public keys from files.
This gets rid of that awkward STANDARD_PREFIX system in which every
branch of the old 'union control' had to repeat all the generic
fields, and then call sites had to make an arbitrary decision about
which branch to access them through.
That was the best we could do before accepting C99 features in this
code base. But now we have anonymous unions, so we don't need to put
up with that nonsense any more!
'dlgcontrol' is now a struct rather than a union, and the generic
fields common to all control types are ordinary members of the struct,
so you don't have to refer to them as ctrl->generic.foo at all, just
ctrl->foo, which saves verbiage at the point of use.
The extra per-control fields are still held in structures named after
the control type, so you'll still say ctrl->listbox.height or
whatever. But now those structures are themselves members of an
anonymous union field following the generic fields, so those
sub-structures don't have to reiterate all the standard stuff too.
While I'm here, I've promoted 'context2' from an editbox-specific
field to a generic one (it just seems silly _not_ to allow any control
to have two context fields if it needs it). Also, I had to rename the
boolean field 'tabdelay' to avoid it clashing with the subsidiary
structure field 'tabdelay', now that the former isn't generic.tabdelay
any more.
I'm about to change my mind about whether its top-level nature is
struct or union, and rather than change the key word 'union' to
'struct' at every point of use, it's nicer to just get rid of the
keyword completely. So it has a shiny new name.
As of df3a21d97b, this panel has two "Browse..." buttons, and is the
first to do so. On Windows, the shortcut for this file chooser button
was hardcoded to 'w', causing an assertion failure whenever switching to
the Auth panel.
I've just removed the shortcut -- there are others near enough that it's
easy to reach the "Browse..." button with Tab.
Correcting a source file name in the docs just now reminded me that
I've seen a lot of outdated source file names elsewhere in the code,
due to all the reorganisation since we moved to cmake. Here's a giant
pass of trying to make them all accurate again.
This gets rid of all those annoying 'win', 'ux' and 'gtk' prefixes
which made filenames annoying to type and to tab-complete. Also, as
with my other recent renaming sprees, I've taken the opportunity to
expand and clarify some of the names so that they're not such cryptic
abbreviations.
