This parser features several improvements over the existing one.
For instance, quoted strings (with escape sequences), unlimited includes,
relaxed newline handling (e.g. at the end of files or before/after { and }),
and the difference between empty and unset values (key = vs. key = "").
It also complains a lot more about invalid syntax. The current one accepts
pretty odd stuff (like settings or sections without name) without any
errors or warnings.
This validator checks for any attribute certificate it can find for validated
end entity certificates and tries to extract group membership information
used for connection authorization rules.
As we don't depend on the check framework anymore, we can enable the unit tests
by default. These are built/executed with "make check" only, so it makes no
sense to disable them.
Overloads printf C library functions by a self-contained implementation,
based on klibc. Does not yet feature all the required default formatters,
including those for floating point values.
The flag is required to convince libtool on Cygwin to build DLLs. But on
Windows these shared libraries can not have undefined symbols, so we have to
link them explicitly to the libraries they reference.
For plugins this is currently not done, so only the monolithic build is
supported. The plugin loader wouldn't be able to load DLLs anyway, as
it tries to load files that don't exist on Cygwin.
INCLUDES are now deprecated and throw warnings when using automake 1.13.
We now also differentiate AM_CPPFLAGS and AM_CFLAGS, where includes and
defines are passed to AM_CPPFLAGS only.
Currently we use the very versatile linked-list collection to store elements
with variable count. This is fine, but very inefficient: Due to the many
methods in the linked list, on 64-bit platforms an empty list alone is more
than 200 bytes. As we currently have about 50 lists per IKE_SA/CHILD_SA pair,
this takes up to 10KB just for managing the empty lists. This is about the
half of memory used by an IKE_SA/CHILD_SA pair, and obviously way too much.
The new array type is not an object, but a collection of functions on an
abstract type.
The following lists are per IKE_SA and should be considered for a replacement
with more efficient arrays (this uses load-testers on-demand created dynamic
configurations, other scenarios have different lists):
