On many places in the code there have been laziness return -1
statements lying around that should be fixed to return sensible
error codes. Here's a take at fixing a few offenders.
I added three new public error codes, and then modified the return
codes we use in the transport layer to use the generic error codes
so that there won't be any risk of internal confusions due to
different error code sets.
Steven Van Ingelgem introduces libssh2_socket_t as a generic socket
type to use internally to avoid compiler warnings and mistakes. Also,
the private struct iovec declaration for windows is now made to look
like the POSIX struct does.
Each SFTP file handle is now handled by the "mother-struct"
using the generic linked list functions. The goal is to move
all custom linked list code to use this set of functions.
I also moved the list declarations to the misc.h where they
belong and made misc.h no longer include libssh2_priv.h itself
since now libssh2_priv.h needs misc.h...
In misc.c I added a #if 0'ed _libssh2_list_insert() function
because I ended up writing one, and I believe we may need it here
too once we move over more stuff to use the _libssh2_list* family.
Alexander Lamaison tracked down that my previous commit broke SFTP
reads in some aspects. The reversion now gets back to always recv()
until EAGAIN is returned so that the code no longer treats a short
read as an indication that it is "enough for now".
The bad commit in particular had another independent change included,
which is to clear the direction-bits first in the transport read
and write functions, but this reversion does not revert that change.
Clearing those bits first is a good thing.
Passing a FILE* argument across a DLL boundary causes problems on Windows. Instead the keys are read into memory by libssh2 and passed to the OpenSSL functions as BIO* arguments.
George Neill pointed out that the C99 vararg marcro use was
wrong, and I edited his suggested patch slightly and unified
both prec99-GCC and C99 into the same macro.
The anonymous bug report #2822910 pointed out that debugdump() was
stupidly called within the send_existing() function. At closer
inspection was the report not only right, but it also revealed
another problem to me: when the _libssh2_send() function returns
after sending only a part of the buffer, it would then misbehave.
This probably is very rare though, which must be the reason we
haven't seen a bigger problem with this.
as we're already doing the correct check further down anyway there's no point
in doing the (wrong) check further up as well. Paul Veldkamp pointed this out.
functions were not given the correct data as argument. This is now fixed even
if I personally don't quite grasp why abstract is passed as a pointer to
pointer all over libssh2...
include the public libssh2.h header as it breaks the compile on window. I'll
adapt to this now, but in the long run I think we should rather fix the
includes so that we _can_ include the public headers properly.
application can get a pointer back to the internal representation of the host
it just added. Useful for example when the app wants to add a host, and then
convert that exact same host to a line for storing in a known host file.
'store' can also be set to NULL to simple not care.
host so we now only return pointers to structs instead of having the app
allocate a full struct
I moved the private struct definition into knownhosts.c instead of exposing it
wider in libssh2_priv.h
I thus modified the proto for two functions that previously used 'struct
libssh2_knownhost *' to receive data.
