* fixes #595 mutex leak and other minor errors in TCPGarrett D'Amore2018-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fixes #596 POSIX IPC should move away from pipedesc/epdesc fixes #598 TLS and TCP listeners could support NNG_OPT_LOCADDR fixes #594 Windows IPC should use "new style" win_io code. fixes #597 macOS could support PEER PID This large change set cleans up the IPC support on Windows and POSIX. This has the beneficial impact of significantly reducing the complexity of the code, reducing locking, increasing concurrency (multiple dial and accepts can be outstanding now), reducing context switches (we complete thins synchronously now). While here we have added some missing option support, and fixed a few more bugs that we found in the TCP code changes from last week.
* fixes #383 Would like peerid for IPCGarrett D'Amore2018-05-03
| | | | | We offer uid, gid, process id, and even zone id where we have them. Docs and tests are provided.
* fixes #6 Security attributes supportGarrett D'Amore2018-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | fixes #382 Permissions support for IPC on POSIX This adds support for permission management on Windows and POSIX systems. There are two different properties, and they are very different. Tests and documentation are included.
* fixes #289 nng_sockaddr could just be a unionGarrett D'Amore2018-03-14
| | | | fixes #290 sockaddr improvements
* fixes #234 Investigate enabling more verbose compiler warningsGarrett D'Amore2018-02-14
| | | | | | | We enabled verbose compiler warnings, and found a lot of issues. Some of these were even real bugs. As a bonus, we actually save some initialization steps in the compat layer, and avoid passing some variables we don't need.
* fixes #173 Define public HTTP server APIGarrett D'Amore2018-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces enough of the HTTP API to support fully server applications, including creation of websocket style protocols, pluggable handlers, and so forth. We have also introduced scatter/gather I/O (rudimentary) for aios, and made other enhancements to the AIO framework. The internals of the AIOs themselves are now fully private, and we have eliminated the aio->a_addr member, with plans to remove the pipe and possibly message members as well. A few other minor issues were found and fixed as well. The HTTP API includes request, response, and connection objects, which can be used with both servers and clients. It also defines the HTTP server and handler objects, which support server applications. Support for client applications will require a client object to be exposed, and that should be happening shortly. None of this is "documented" yet, bug again, we will follow up shortly.
* Introduce utility safe string handling functions.Garrett D'Amore2017-08-28
| | | | | | | | We have our versions of strdup, strlcat, and strlcpy. This means we can avoid using snprintf() in many cases (saving cycles), and we can get safer checks. We use the platform supplied versions of these if they exist (wrapping with nni_xxx versions.)
* fixes #41 Move DNS out of tcp transportGarrett D'Amore2017-08-21
| | | | | | | | | This moves the DNS related functionality into common code, and also removes all the URL parsing stuff out of the platform specific code and into the transports. Now the transports just take sockaddr's on initialization. (We may want to move this until later.) We also add UDP resolution as another separate API.
* Conditional platform inclusion cleanups.Garrett D'Amore2017-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | We only compile files that are appropriate for the platform. (We still have guards in place, to allow for a future single .C file to be built from all the sources.) We also remove the subsystem defines; if a new platform needs to deviate from POSIX in ways beyond what we intended here, then that platform should just copy those parts into a new platform directory, rather than cross including portions from POSIX.
* Give up on uncrustify; switch to clang-format.Garrett D'Amore2017-07-10

* TCP asynchronous working now.Garrett D'Amore2017-07-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that I had to fix a number of subtle asynchronous handling bugs, but now TCP is fully asynchronous. We need to change the high-level dial and listen interfaces to be async as well. Some of the transport APIs have changed here, and I've elected to change what we expose to consumers as endpoints into seperate dialers and listeners. Under the hood they are the same, but it turns out that its helpful to know the intended use of the endpoint at initialization time. Scalability still occasionally hangs on Linux. Investigation pending.
* Make ipc work 100% async.Garrett D'Amore2017-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The connect & accept logic for IPC is now fully asynchronous. This will serve as a straight-forward template for TCP. Note that the upper logic still uses a thread to run this "synchronously", but that will be able to be removed once the last transport (TCP) is made fully async. The unified ipcsock is also now separated, and we anticipate being able to remove the posix_sock.c logic shortly. Separating out the endpoint logic from the pipe logic helps makes things clearer, and may faciliate a day where endpoints have multiple addresses (for example with a connect() endpoint that uses a round-robin DNS list and tries to run the entire list in parallel, stopping with the first connection made.) The platform header got a little cleanup while we were here.

* Convert to POSIX polled I/O for async; start of cancelable aio.Garrett D'Amore2017-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This eliminates the two threads per pipe that were being used to provide basic I/O handling, replacing them with a single global thread for now, that uses poll and nonblocking I/O. This should lead to great scalability. The infrastructure is in place to easily expand to multiple polling worker threads. Some thought needs to be given about how to scale this to engage multiple CPUs. Horizontal scaling may also shorten the poll() lists easing C10K problem. We should look into better solutions than poll() for platforms that have them (epoll on Linux, kqueue on BSD, and event ports on illumos). Note that the file descriptors start out in blocking mode for now, but then are placed into non-blocking mode. This is because the negotiation phase is not yet callback driven, and so needs to be synchronous.
* IPC send/recv works asynchronously for POSIX.Garrett D'Amore2017-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | As with TCP, we're still using threads under the hood. But this completes the send/recv logic conversion for POSIX to our AIO framework, and hence represents a substantial milestone towards full asyncronous operation. We still need to do accept/connect operations asynchronously, then making. Windows overlapped IO work properly. After that, poll/epoll/kqueue, etc.

* Add nn_sendmsg (with NN_MSG support).Garrett D'Amore2017-01-23

* Initial start of compat layer with bind, connect, etc. Untested.Garrett D'Amore2017-01-22

* Compile static *and* shared libraries.Garrett D'Amore2017-01-15
| | | | | Test code needs to use the static libraries so that they can get access to the entire set of symbols, including private ones that are not exported.
* Windows TCP now working.Garrett D'Amore2017-01-14
| | | | | | | There are lots of changes here, mostly stuff we did in support of Windows TCP. However, there are some bugs that were fixed, and we added some new error codes, and generalized the handling of some failures during accept. Windows IPC (NamedPipes) is still missing.
* Add IPC (UNIX domain sockets) for POSIX, and test suite.Garrett D'Amore2017-01-12
