The spec <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-hardy-irc-isupport-00#section-4.8>
is a little unclear on the semantics, and Unreal interprets 'C<val' as
a request for all chans created before <val> minutes ago, ditto.
This is a legitimate interpretation, but I think the other on makes more
sense (ie. that 'C<val' means all chans created less than <val> minutes
ago).
Additionally, the documentation for T did not match the implementation
before this commit.
Before this commit, Unreal was consistent with Hybrid/Plexus4 on ELIST C.
After this commit, Unreal will be consistent with Charybdis/Solanum,
InspIRCd, and ircu2 (and Hybrid/Plexus4 on ELIST T).
using mixed UnrealIRCd 5 and UnrealIRCd 6 networks.
This is a slightly complex rewrite of make_mode_str() and do_mode(),
as we nog go from single mode lines to potentially multiple mode lines.
In short: whenever we would be near buffer cut-off point (the famous
512 byte limit) then previously we would prevent the mode, though not
succesfully in all cases where a network consists of mixed 5.x and 6.x.
From this point onward we no longer do that. Instead we convert one
MODE command to two MODE lines if that is needed.
The benefit of this is that we no longer prevent it BEFORE processing
the MODE, which is a flawed method and could be wrong (causing desyncs).
And also, we no longer partially ignore MODE lines from clients when
they would cause the limit to be exceeded, as we replace them with
two MODE lines instead.
These are more changes than I wanted at such a late point but.. they seem
to be necessary to prevent U5-U6 compatibility issues.
I don't think there were more than a handful of people who disabled
this, and it clutters the source badly (not to mention that this
should not be a compile time option at all).
It means you can no longer modify eg parv[1] in-place with strtoken and such.
The main reason for this is that as a command handler you have no idea
where the arguments may come from. It could be from a do_cmd() with
read-only storage (eg a string literal) and so on.
It started with an experiment of how far I could get and how annoying the
side-effects would be, but they seem to be quite managable, so I'm
committing this stuff.
Hopefully this catches/solves some stupid bugs somewhere :)
They were already ignored in MODE by remote UnrealIRCd servers,
but this makes it so local modes (+Z and +d at the moment)
are not sent across the wire.
This also changes the channel_modes() function to have an additional
'hide_local_modes' argument. Set this to 1 if you are building a
buffer that will be sent to remote servers, otherwise use 0,
which is far more common.
Also, this will skip saving of local channel modes to channeldb
since all of these are temporary, or at the moment anyway.
Thanks to alice for reporting this bug and providing a good test
case to help fix this issue and the previous ones.
deal with servers with different set::allowed-channelchars settings:
* We reject the link if set::allowed-channelchars settings differ between
UnrealIRCd 5 servers.
* For the case where you have a mixed network consisting of UnrealIRCd 4.x
and UnrealIRCd 5.x servers we try not to desync, BUT will not allow
anyone to join the invalid channels locally. For IRCOps a message is
printed with additional information on such a failed JOIN attempt.
See https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Set_block#set::allowed-channelchars
for the different settings, which are best and U4<->U5 advice.
This so I - and others - don't constantly have to wonder whether the client
is called sptr, cptr or acptr in a simple routine.
Insane --> 212 files changed, 6814 insertions(+), 6945 deletions(-)
Couldn't just mass-replace of course since there are places where there
are multiple clients involved. So had to check each function.
Also renamed some 'acptr' to 'target' and such.
I will write a page with new style rules later.. but in short if there is
only 1 client involved it will now be called 'client'.
code changes in UnrealIRCd itself:
1) Clients are no longer freed directly by exit_client. Most fields
are freed, but 'sptr' itself is not, so you can use IsDead() on it.
2) exit_client now returns void rather than int
3) ALL command functions return void rather than int.
Of course this also affects do_cmd, command overrides, etc.
This is a direct consequence of the removal of 'cptr' earlier, as that
was used to signal certain things that are now no longer possible
(and it raises the question if things were always correctly signaled
in the first place, so may fix some bugs).
It also makes the code more resillient against cases where you forgot
to check if the client was freed. Still, you are encouraged to do an
IsDead(sptr) if you are calling functions that may kill clients,
such as command functions or things that may use spamfilter.
More changes will follow, such as the removal of FLUSH_BUFFER.
'sptr' is sufficient and in most cases the only one you should care about.
Should you need it, you can access sptr->direction in cases where you
need the old information (usually only for some sendto_* functions
and some protoctl checks), so 'cptr' was redundant too.
[!] This change likely introduces some bugs. This was many hours of work.
I only cut some corners in 4 functions, which will be fixed at a later
stage..... yes, more major changes to come.
On the plus side, I likely fixed some bugs in the process. Situations
where cptr vs sptr usage was incorrect. Eg using cptr->name (near server)
when sptr->name should be used (the actual source server), etc....
which specifies the time in milliseconds rather than seconds. This
allows for additional precision, or at least multiple calls per second.
The minimum allowed every_msec value is 100 at this time.
The prototype is now: EventAdd(Module *module, char *name,
vFP event, void *data, long every_msec, int count);
MOD_UNLOAD. And MOD_HEADER(xyz) is now MOD_HEADER even without ()
since this isn't a function, really.
To make things understandable I added the following to the
developer section of the release notes:
* The module header is now as follows:
ModuleHeader MOD_HEADER
= {
"nameofmodule",
"5.0",
"Some description",
"Name of Author",
"unrealircd-5",
};
There's a new author field, the version must start with a digit,
and also the name of the module must match the loadmodule name.
So for example third/funmod must also be named third/funmod.
* The MOD_TEST, MOD_INIT, MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD functions no longer
take a name argument. So: MOD_INIT(mymod) is now MOD_INIT()
This so we have a few simple concepts:
Client: this can be a user, server, or something unknown yet
Then the type of clients:
User: this is a user, someone with a nick name.
Server: this is a server
Etc.
including things like CallCmdoverride() to CallCommandOverride().
Type changes like aTKline -> TKL and many more (in particular
aSomething to Something etc. such as aWatch to Watch) but these are
less used by 3rd party module coders.
aChannel to Channel, and some more. Third party module coders will
love this. But.. it makes things more logical and the doxygen output
will look more clean and logical as well.
(More changes will follow)
and remove old dependency field (never used, was always NULL,
broken since 3.2.x)
I'll add some constraints later on things like names and versions.
IOTW: more changes to follow, don't mass update your own mods yet.
So rename src/modules/m_*.c to src/modules/*.c and update makefiles
and modules.default.conf. Also remove m_ at various places in the
source files, but not the CMD_FUNC(), just the module name.
