The GNU C Library (glibc) offers an function which allocates the
necessary memory automatically [0]. When it is available, we use that.
Otherwise we depend upon the `getcwd` function which requires a
preallocated buffer (and its size). This function was used incorrectly
by depending on the initial buffer size being big enough and otherwise
failing to return the current working directory. The proper way of
getting the current working directory requires a loop which doubles the
buffer size if `getcwd` requires it. This code was copied from [1] with
modifications to fit the context.

Many places in our code assume that uint8_t is the same type as
unsigned char. Test this assumption in the configure script. This is
important because of the privileged aliasing properties of character
types in C.
Fixes#22410.
This adds a couple of configure commands to control whether we're
requiring all dependencies to be available locally (default) or not
(--enable-cargo-online-mode). When building from a tarball, we require
the RUST_DEPENDENCIES variable to point to the local repository of
crates. This also adds src/ext/rust as a git submodule that contains
such a local repository for easy setup.
Passing --enable-cargo-online-mode during configure allows cargo to make
network requests while building Tor or running tests. If this flag is
not supplied, the dependencies need to be available in the form of a
local mirror.
Introduce a way to optionally enable Rust integration for our builds. No
actual Rust code is added yet and specifying the flag has no effect
other than failing the build if rustc and cargo are unavailable.
This commit adds the src/trace directory containing the basics for our tracing
subsystem. It is not used in the code base. The "src/trace/debug.h" file
contains an example on how we can map our tor trace events to log_debug().
The tracing subsystem can only be enabled by tracing framework at compile
time. This commit introduces the "--enable-tracing-debug" option that will
make all "tor_trace()" function be maped to "log_debug()".
Closes#13802

This patch adds support for enabling support for Zstandard to our configure
script. By default, the --enable-zstd option is set to "auto" which means if
libzstd is available we'll build Tor with Zstandard support.
See: https://bugs.torproject.org/21662
This patch adds support for enabling support for LZMA to our configure
script. By default, the --enable-lzma option is set to "auto" which
means if liblzma is available we'll build Tor with LZMA support.

This feature makes it possible to turn off memory sentinels (like
those used for safety in buffers.c and memarea.c) when fuzzing, so
that we can catch bugs that they would otherwise prevent.
Determining if OpenSSL structures are opaque now uses an autoconf check
instead of comparing the version number. Some definitions have been
moved to their own check as assumptions which were true for OpenSSL
with opaque structures did not hold for LibreSSL. Closes ticket 21359.
It is renamed to --enable-fragile-hardening.
TROVE-2017-001 was triggerable only through the expensive hardening which is
making the tor daemon abort when the issue is detected. Thus, it makes tor
more at risk of remote crashes but safer against RCE or heartbleed bug
category.
Fixes#21290.

Turning on warnings in Automake makes it complain about not using the
AM_PROG_AR macro. The AM_PROG_AR macro is required when LIBRARIES or
LTLIBRARIES is used.
The macro looks for an archiver and wraps it in the ar-lib script which
is automatically generated so Git should ignore it.
It makes the custom check for 'ar' obsolete so it is removed.
The AM_PROG_AR macro was added in Automake 1.11.2 thus the minimum
Automake version is increased.
Apple is supposed to decorate their function declarations with
macros to indicate which OSX version introduced them, so that you
can tell the compiler that you want to build against certain
versions of OSX. But they forgot to do that for clock_gettime() and
getentropy(), both of which they introduced in 10.12.
This patch adds a kludge to the configure.ac script where, if we
detect that we are targeting OSX 10.11 or earlier, we don't even probe
to see if the two offending functions are present.
Closes ticket 20235.
Closes ticket 20303.
The LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER check is needed because if our openssl
is really libressl, it will have an openssl version number we can't
really believe.
OpenBSD removes this function, and now that Tor requires Libevent 2,
we should also support the OpenBSD Libevent 2.
Fixes bug 19904; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
Only some very ancient distributions don't ship with Libevent 2 anymore,
even the oldest supported Ubuntu LTS version has it. This allows us to
get rid of a lot of compat code.
The Autoconf macro AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS defines preprocessor macros
which turn on extensions to C and POSIX. The macro also makes it easier
for developers to use the extensions without needing (or forgetting) to
define them manually.
The macro can be safely used because it was introduced in Autoconf 2.60
and Tor requires Autoconf 2.63 and above.
This is a big-ish patch, but it's very straightforward. Under this
clang warning, we're not actually allowed to have a global variable
without a previous extern declaration for it. The cases where we
violated this rule fall into three roughly equal groups:
* Stuff that should have been static.
* Stuff that was global but where the extern was local to some
other C file.
* Stuff that was only global when built for the unit tests, that
needed a conditional extern in the headers.
The first two were IMO genuine problems; the last is a wart of how
we build tests.
This warning triggers on silently promoting a float to a double. In
our code, it's just a sign that somebody used a float by mistake,
since we always prefer double.
This warning, IIUC, means that the compiler doesn't like it when it
sees a NULL check _after_ we've already dereferenced the
variable. In such cases, it considers itself free to eliminate the
NULL check.
There are a couple of tricky cases:
One was the case related to the fact that tor_addr_to_in6() can
return NULL if it gets a non-AF_INET6 address. The fix was to
create a variant which asserts on the address type, and never
returns NULL.
