will not be called. This is used, for example, by m_cap when the CAP LS
handshake is still in progress. Modules can add their own requirements
as they see fit.
Note that, as for (CAP) functionality, this adds nothing new, it just
implements it in a cleaner way, rather than all over the place,
like in UnrealIRCd 4.x.
and has various outstanding crash and 100% CPU issues.
We have been encouraging the PCRE2 engine since the start of
UnrealIRCd 4 already.
TRE is being phased out of U4 by the end of the year, so we can
safely remove it in U5 already.
Such a variable suggests that we will never read past that, but that
is not the case, since we (correctly) assume that the buffer is
NUL terminated, which is ensured by dbuf_getmsg().
The 'length' is still available for informational purposes, to avoid
strlen()'s at various places.
Hm, I guess length can cause the same confusion as bufend, but still..
I like it better :D
For example, msgid / message-ids is not a CAP, while server-time is.
There mere fact of something being in CAP or not shouldn't cause
something to be in different directories ;).
Early commit, still cleaning up to do.
But what works is:
$define SERVER "hub.example.org"
$if SERVER == "hub.example.org"
link .... {
....
}
$endif
$if defined(SERVER)
....
$endif
And also we have mod-loaded() which even works half-way in a block
such as in helpop:
help Chmodes {
[..]
$if module-loaded("chanmodes/stripcolor")
" c = Block messages containing mIRC color codes [o]";
$endif
$if module-loaded("chanmodes/noctcp")
" C = No CTCPs allowed in the channel [h]";
$endif
};
As said, still need to cleanups and there are some limitations.
Also the idea is to be able to use defined values in variable names/values
but that has not yet been implemented.
You now call it with a path like is_module_loaded("extbans/timedban").
This, among other reasons, so you can differentiate between modules with
the same name, such as "usermodes/noctcp" and "chanmodes/noctcp".
This also includes buffer modifications to have a larger read buffer
and IRCv3 implementations (partial or not) for:
labeled-response, msgid, server-time, batch and account-tag.
As said, it is the initial and partial implementation.
There are still various FIXME's and TODO's, the API of various
functions may still change (actually that is true for the next
months, even) and some stuff is currently in the core that will
be moved to modules.
