Commit 8f5e9a4f8d introduced a segfault into both Windows Pageant
and Windows connection sharing upstreams when they receive an incoming
named-pipe connection. This occurs because the PlugVtables for those
incoming connections had a null pointer in the 'log' field, because
hitherto, only sockets involved with an outgoing connection expected
to receive plug_log() notifications. But I added such a notification
in make_handle_socket, forgetting that that function is used for both
outgoing and incoming named-pipe connections (among other things). So
now a Plug implementation that expects to be set up by the
plug_accepting() method on a listener may still receive
PLUGLOG_CONNECT_SUCCESS.
I could fix that by adding a parameter to make_handle_socket telling
it whether to send a notification, but that seems like more faff than
is really needed. Simpler to make a rule that says _all_ Socket types
must implement the log() method, even if only with a no-op function.
We already have a no-op implementation of log(), in nullplug.c. So
I've exposed that outside its module (in the same style as all the
nullseat functions and so on), to make it really easy to add log()
methods to PlugVtables that don't need one.
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.

reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
