This is a huge patch that should be a global NOP.
For unix type platforms it enables -Wconversion to issue warnings (-> error)
for all automatic casts that seem less than ideal but are normally concealed
by the toolchain.
This is things like passing an int to a size_t argument. Once enabled, I
went through all args on my default build (which build most things) and
tried to make the removed default cast explicit.
With that approach it neither change nor bloat the code, since it compiles
to whatever it was doing before, just with the casts made explicit... in a
few cases I changed some length args from int to size_t but largely left
the causes alone.
From now on, new code that is relying on less than ideal casting
will complain and nudge me to improve it by warnings.
This adds some new objects and helpers for keeping and logging
info on grouped allocations, a group is, eg, SS handles or client
wsis.
Allocated objects get a context-unique "tag" string intended to replace
%p / wsi pointers etc. Pointers quickly become confusing when
allocations are freed and reused, the tag string won't repeat
until you produce 2^64 objects in a context.
In addition the tag string documents the object group, with prefixes
like "wsi-" or "vh-" and contain object-specific additional
information like the vhost name, address / port or the role of the wsi.
At creation time the lws code can use a format string and args
to add whatever group-specific info makes sense, eg, a wsi bound
to a secure stream can also append the guid of the secure stream,
it's copied into the new object tag and so is still available
cleanly after the stream is destroyed if the wsi outlives it.
A few different places want to create wsis and basically repeat their
own versions of the flow. Let's unify it into one helper in wsi.c
Also require the context lock held (this only impacts LWS_MAX_SMP > 1)
This creates a role for RFC3549 Netlink monitoring.
If the OS supports it (currently, linux) then each pt creates a wsi
with the netlink role and dumps the current routing table at pt init.
It then maintains a cache of the routing table in each pt.
Upon routing table changes an SMD message is issued as an event, and
Captive Portal Detection is triggered.
All of the pt's current connections are reassessed for routability under
the changed routing table, those that no longer have a valid route or
gateway are closed.
This is complicated by the fact extern on a function declaration implies
visibility... we have to make LWS_EXTERN empty when building static.
And, setting target_compile_definitions() doesn't work inside macros,
so it has to be set explicitly for the plugins.
Checking the symbol status needs nm -C -D as per
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37934388/symbol-visibility-not-working-as-expected
after this patch, libwebsockets.a shows no symbols when checked like that and
the static-linked minimal examples only show -U for their other dynamic
imports.
In a handful of cases we use LWS_EXTERN on extern data declarations,
those then need to change to explicit extern.
Event lib support as it has been isn't scaling well, at the low level
libevent and libev headers have a namespace conflict so they can't
both be built into the same image, and at the distro level, binding
all the event libs to libwebsockets.so makes a bloaty situation for
packaging, lws will drag in all the event libs every time.
This patch implements the plan discussed here
https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/issues/1980
and refactors the event lib support so they are built into isolated
plugins and bound at runtime according to what the application says
it wants to use. The event lib plugins can be packaged individually
so that only the needed sets of support are installed (perhaps none
of them if the user code is OK with the default poll() loop). And
dependent user code can mark the specific event loop plugin package
as required so pieces are added as needed.
The eventlib-foreign example is also refactored to build the selected
lib support isolated.
A readme is added detailing the changes and how to use them.

Move the common plugin scanning dir stuff to be based on lws_dir, which
already builds for windows. Previously this was done via dirent for unix
and libuv for windows.
Reduce the dl plat stuff to just wrap instantiation and destruction of
dynlibs, establish common code in lib/misc/dir.c for plugin scanning
itself.
Migrate the libuv windows dl stuff to windows-plugins.c, so that he's
available even if later libuv loop support becomes and event lib plugin.
Remove the existing api exports scheme for plugins, just export a const struct
now which has a fixed header type but then whatever you want afterwards depending
on the class / purpose of the plugin. Place a "class" string in the header so
there can be different kinds of plugins implying different types exported.
Make the plugin apis public and add support for filter by class string, and
per instantation / destruction callbacks so the subclassed header type can
do its thing for the plugin class. The user provides a linked-list base
for his class of plugins, so he can manage them completely separately and
in user code / user export types.
Rip out some last hangers-on from generic sessions / tables.
This is all aimed at making the plugins support general enough so it can
provide event lib plugins later.
Add initial support for defining servers using Secure Streams
policy and api semantics.
Serving h1, h2 and ws should be functional, the new minimal
example shows a combined http + SS server with an incrementing
ws message shown in the browser over tls, in around 200 lines
of user code.
NOP out anything to do with plugins, they're not currently used.
Update the docs correspondingly.
Add lws_display and minimal example support for esp32-wrover to match wsp32-heltec-wb32
Since no usable buttons that don't affect something else on wrover kit, assumes
a button to 0V on GPIO14.
- Add low level system message distibution framework
- Add support for local Secure Streams to participate using _lws_smd streamtype
- Add apit test and minimal example
- Add SS proxy support for _lws_smd
See minimal-secure-streams-smd README.md
Allow selection of Unix Domain Sockets on windows since it is supported
for the last couple of years on windows 10

... if only they could add a full set of posix pieces to go with it
(and abstract namespace UDS which doesn't work apparently) so that
the parts dealing with uid / gid don't have to be disabled.
Establish a new distributed CMake architecture with CMake code related to
a source directory moving to be in the subdir in its own CMakeLists.txt.
In particular, there's now one in ./lib which calls through to ones
further down the directory tree like ./lib/plat/xxx, ./lib/roles/xxx etc.
This cuts the main CMakelists.txt from 98KB -> 33KB, about a 66% reduction,
and it's much easier to maintain sub-CMakeLists.txt that are in the same
directory as the sources they manage, and conceal all the details that that
level.
Child CMakelists.txt become responsible for:
- include_directories() definition (this is not supported by CMake
directly, it passes it back up via PARENT_SCOPE vars in helper
macros)
- Addition child CMakeLists.txt inclusion, for example toplevel ->
role -> role subdir
- Source file addition to the build
- Dependent library path resolution... this is now a private thing
in the child CMakeLists.txt, it just passes back any adaptations
to include_directories() and the LIB_LIST without filling the
parent namespace with the details
Esp-idf has an improved but still kind of abused cmake-
based build system now.
If we see ESP_PLATFORM coming as a cmake var, we can know we
are being built from inside the esp-idf config system.
Leave the existing esp32 arrangements alone but triggered off
ESP_PLATFORM, adapt to use the cross toolchain file and
various quirks automatically.
In this way you can build lws a part of your project in a
much cleaner way.
Prepare a minimal esp32 test app for use in Sai
Adapt .sai.json to build for esp32
Add a member to the vh init struct allowing control of the overall
connection wait introduced in an earlier patch. Set it to 20s
by default.
The timeout_secs member controls the individual DNS result
connect timeout and is reduced to 5s by default.
Trying to use a remote pool is very variable with CI, the builder can
force a local ntpd this way cleanly.
When enabled all the test apps use ntpclient, so this lets us tell them all to
go to the local ntpd in one hit.
In some cases devices may be too constrained to handle JSON policies but still
want to use SS apis and methodology.
This introduces an off-by-default cmake option LWS_WITH_SECURE_STREAMS_STATIC_POLICY_ONLY,
if enabled the JSON parsing part is excluded and it's assumed the user code
provides its policy as hardcoded policy structs.
Implement Captive Portal detection support in lws, with the actual
detection happening in platform code hooked up by lws_system_ops_t.
Add an implementation using Secure Streams as well, if the policy
defines captive_portal_detect streamtype, a SS using that streamtype
is used to probe if it's behind a captive portal.
We worked fine while an earlier typo meant this was never getting past the
preprocessor... when it did, it exposes that the signal handler type was
never implemented. Just remove for glib.
Secure Streams is an optional layer on top of lws that separates policy
like endpoint selection and tls cert validation into a device JSON
policy document.
Code that wants to open a client connection just specifies a streamtype name,
and no longer deals with details like the endpoint, the protocol (!) or anything
else other than payloads and optionally generic metadata; the JSON policy
contains all the details for each streamtype. h1, h2, ws and mqtt client
connections are supported.
Logical secure streams outlive any particular connection and supports "nailed-up"
connectivity regardless of underlying connection stability.
Add selectable event lib support to minimal-http-client-multi and
clean up context destroy flow so we can use lws_destroy_context() from
inside the callback to indicate we want to end the event loop, without
using the traditional "interrupted" flag and in a way that works no
matter which event loop backend is being used.
Freertos + lwip doesn't support pipe2() or pipe()... implement a "pipe"
based on two UDP sockets, one listening on 127.0.0.1:54321 and the other
doing a sendto() there of a single byte to interrupt the event loop wait.
Re-use the arrangements for actual pipe fds and pipe role to deliver
lws_cancel_service() functionality using this.
In the case code is composed into a single process, but it isn't monolithic in the
sense it's made up of modular "applications" that are written separate projects,
provide a way for the "applications" to request a callback from the lws event loop
thread context safely.
From the callback the applications can set up their operations on the lws event
loop and drop their own thread.
Since it requires system-specific locking to be threadsafe, provide a non-threadsafe
helper and then indirect the actual usage through a user-defined lws_system ops
function pointer that wraps the unsafe api with the system locking to make it safe.
This changes the approach of tx credit management to set the
initial stream tx credit window to zero. This is the only way
with RFC7540 to gain the ability to selectively precisely rx
flow control incoming streams.
At the time the headers are sent, a WINDOW_UPDATE is sent with
the initial tx credit towards us for that specific stream. By
default, this acts as before with a 256KB window added for both
the stream and the nwsi, and additional window management sent
as stuff is received.
It's now also possible to set a member in the client info
struct and a new option LCCSCF_H2_MANUAL_RXFLOW to precisely
manage both the initial tx credit for a specific stream and
the ongoing rate limit by meting out further tx credit
manually.
Add another minimal example http-client-h2-rxflow demonstrating how
to force a connection's peer's initial budget to transmit to us
and control it during the connection lifetime to restrict the amount
of incoming data we have to buffer.
Remove the auth lws_system stuff and redo it using generic blobs
with separate namespaces. Support pointing to already-in-memory
blobs without using heap as well as multi-fragment appened blobs
eg, parsed out of JSON chunk by chunk and chained in heap.
Support auth the new way, along with client cert + key in DER
namespaces.
