In the now default case that THREADPOOL is enabled... not sure what OSX
will make of that as previously it blew up with -pthread on clang cmdline
at link time
This lets you build using the runtime Address Sanitizer in gcc.
LWS is heavily tested with valgrind routinely during development. But ASAN
did find some theoretical-only issues with shifting, strictly ~(1 << 31) is
a signed int, it should be ~(1u << 31). Gcc does the same for both, but it's
good to have the ability to find these.
Audit all lws_hdr_copy() usages inside lws and make sure we
take care about it failing.
Also since the patch around aggregation of headers by ',',
lws_hdr_copy() needs a little more space in the output buffer,
adjust one place where that caused it to start failing in an
exact-sized buffer.
Until now the uv watcher has been composed in the wsi.
This works fine except in the case of a client wsi that
meets a redirect when the event loop is libuv with its
requirement for handle close via the event loop.
We want to reuse the wsi, since the originator of it has
a copy of the wsi pointer, and we want to conceal the
redirect. Since the redirect is commonly to a different
IP, we want to keep the wsi alive while closing its
socket cleanly. That's not too difficult, unless you are
using uv.
With UV the comoposed watcher is a disaster, since after
the close is requested the wsi will start to reconnect.
We tried to deal with that by copying the uv handle and
freeing it when the handle close finalizes. But it turns
out the handle is in a linked-list scheme in uv.
This patch hopefully finally solves it by giving the uv
handle its own allocation from the start. When we want
to close the socket and reuse the wsi, we simply take
responsibility for freeing the handle and set the wsi
watcher pointer to NULL.
This builds on the new dbus role support to provide a minimal example proxy
between ws and dbus.
A client app is provided that asks the proxy to connect to libwebsockets.org
and proxy the drawing data from the mirror example there back to the dbus
client using dbus messages.
This adds support for the integrating libdbus into the lws event loop.
Unlike the other roles, lws doesn't completely adopt the fd and libdbus insists
to retain control over the fd lifecycle. However libdbus provides apis for
foreign code (lws) to provide event loop services to libdbus for the fd.
Accordingly, unlike the other roles rx and writeable are not subsumed into
lws callback messages and the events remain the property of libdbus.
A context struct wrapper is provided that is available in the libdbus
callbacks to bridge between the lws and dbus worlds, along with
a minimal example dbus client and server.
