The `watch-check` function now has a new argument which can be used to pass data to watch_notify callbacks.
New `watch_add` and `watch_del` hooks are called whenever new entries are created or removed.
New `monitor_notification` hook is called whenever a RPL_MONONLINE or RPL_MONOFFLINE is being sent, so a module can add its own notification besides it.
and that nick could be on someones watch list. In such a case we
should not only send RPL_LOGON but also a RPL_GONEAWAY.
Reported by Khaled and fix suggested by Khaled & Sadie.
but it seems there were still a couple left. These are now gone as well.
There seem to be no issues with the ones that were left, but it is just
too easy to get it wrong. Declaring buf in function now. This should be
faster anyway, since it is located on nearby memory (stack).
Inspired by previous find from westor (c708a99955c034e842f913479cc597d87b311394).
sendnumeric_legacy() calls.
This also fixes some small format string bugs (eg: argument too much and
some time_t fun, like the previous commits elsewhere... nothing fancy).
This already found a few issues.
As a side-effect, this also means you can only use RPL_xxx and
ERR_xxx in the 2nd argument from now on. You can no longer use
a dynamic integer (eg 'reply') at runtime, since then the format
string cannot be checked.
More to follow, after making sure it works on Windows too.
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 :)
This will likely reduce performance, but this should not matter in modern times.
Also added flags to let modules know which one the entry belongs to, and what
to do with it.
Now modules should be able to add their own WATCH methods (like IRCv3 MONITOR),
or extend functionality to notify about other changes than the default log on,
log off and away statuses (like SETNAMEs).
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.
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.
