[leafnode-list] leafnode 2.0b8 ma3 preview snapshot 20010424-1 available
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hi,
I'm releasing a work-in-progress snapshot based on
leafnode_2.0b8-ma2.
*** NOT FOR PRODUCTION USE. MAY CORRUPT YOUR DATA AND ERASE YOUR BRAIN. ***
This snapshot has a --with-dmalloc configure option which can be used
with dmalloc 4.8 (other versions will probably work, I did not
check). dmalloc is only used if installed properly and CONFIGURED, like:
dmalloc -l /tmp/dmalloc.log high
The current archive passes make distcheck on SuSE Linux 7.0 (x86) and
FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE (x86).
The archive is at:
http://mandree.home.pages.de/leafnode/beta/
files and sizes:
256k leafnode-pcre-2.0b8_ma-pre3-snapshot-20010424-1.tar.bz2
4.0k leafnode-pcre-2.0b8_ma-pre3-snapshot-20010424-1.tar.bz2.sig

Please ignore any "unused parameter" warnings, these will disappear in
future versions.
Here's the ChangeLog excerpt:
2001-04-24 Matthias Andree <matthias.andree@xxxxxx>
* xoverutil.c (_compxover): add some const tags
(getxover): fix logging when trying to kill offending articles
* ugid: use endpwent()
* texpire.c (dogroup): fix big memory leak
* strutil.c: new function to allocate memory and return
concatenated string from input string array. Useful to replace
snprintf in various places
* rnews.c (usage): drop optind declaration
(processbatch): make artname into array rather than pointer (fixes
qualifier conflict)
(makecompressedfile): likewise for c
(main): use (mode_t)S_IWOTH instead of 2, still gives compile-time
warnings with -Wconversion on SuSE Linux 7.0.
* nntpd.c: make a lot of functions static
(gmtoff): heed PUTENV_COPIES
(parser): make cmd a local variable, track newsgroup and artno in
parser rather than globally, rename to main_loop
(main_loop): renamed from parser
(markinterest): returns error condition, internal overhaul, fixes
logging
* ln_log.c: move extern int verbose declaration here to prevent
duplicate declaration via ln_log.h
(vln_log_core): add new feature: if the environment variable
LN_LOG_ABORT_ON_ERROR is defined (regardless of its value, may
even be empty or 0), the first LNLOG_SERR will cause the program
to abort. May be useful in debugging to get a proper core file or
backtrace.
* ln_log.h: remove extern int verbose declaration
* nntputil.c (putaline): now requires FILE * parameter just like
getaline does.
* miscutil.c (parseopt): program name and optarg parameter are now
const strings
(lockfile_exists): new semantics
* filterutil.c (readfilter): log filter name in warning
(readfilter): filter file name argument is now const
* fetchnews.c: remove global artno
make isgrouponserver static
(getarticle): fix off-by-one allocation error
(getarticle): fix dot stripping to use fputs/fputc rather than
fprintf
(getgroup): output "considering (count) articles (range)" in group
verbose mode regardless of debug mode, includes article count
now. NOTE: Inaccurate output. See TODO (5.5)
(post_FILE): return code rather than string (fixes obscure crashes)
(main): only update/write active if not in postonly mode.
(main): delposted is currently deactivated. Will do no harm other
than try to post any article twice. NOTE: will send dupes if you
don't run fetchnews in regular intervals. NOTE: entire posting
functionaly needs major overhaul
* critmem.h (critrealloc): support dmalloc (tested with dmalloc
4.8.2), to allow for tracking the actual leafnode memory leak line
rather than just critmem's functions.
* critmem_calloc.c: dito
* critmem_malloc.c: dito
* critmem_realloc.c: dito
* aclocal.m4: include PETI_WITH_DMALLOC. NOTE: This m4 script is
copyrighted under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE (but since it's
not linked, it does not affect the compiled leafnode).
* Makefile.in: generate local.groups in LIBDIR rather than SPOOLDIR
copy config.example from srcdir (broke build outside source tree)
* .cvsignore: add configure, README
* configutil.c: initialize expire_base to 0 for consistency
introduce new static struct serverlist that is not iterated over
(iterating over servers caused memory leaks in previous versions)
* configparam.c (comp): add const qualifiers
(find_configparam): dito
* checkgroups.c (main): drop local extern int optind
* attributes.h (__inline): new
* artutil.c (store): drop msgid parameter. Add some asserts. Fix
broken logging. NOTE: see TODO for a severe bug in store, or the
callers thereof, respectively.
support dmalloc
* applyfilter.c: declare optarg, optint, opterr and optopt.
add dmalloc support
(main): change filterfile/readfilter logic, fix bug
* global: introduce char s[PATH_MAX] as local variable all over
the place. Needs review for buffer overruns.
Fix several incorrect malloc/free semantics
* activutil.c (_compactive): add const to local declarations
(insertgroup): change if/else to ?: operator
(findgroup): do ng initialization in function implementation,
variable initializers are a GCC extension
add dmalloc support
(freeactive): now safe with active == 0
(readactive): registers atexit function to clear up freeactive
(not strictly needed since memory is freed on exit anyways)
(insertgroup): description is now const string
* acconfig.h: add #undef PUTENV_COPIES
* configure.in (PUTENV_COPIES): new check to see if putenv uses
the program's string buffer for its environment or makes a copy
2001-04-13 Matthias Andree <matthias.andree@xxxxxx>
* strutil.c: new function memstrcat
* miscutil.c (lockfile_exists): retry lock in non-blocking mode if
stale lock file had been removed previously
* texpire.c (main): release lock file if no expire time set
(xoverextract): fix memory leak (call freexover after getxover)
(dogroup): fix memory leak (call freexover after getxover)
* nntpd.c (main): fix wrong error description when configuration
file unavailable.
2001-04-09 Matthias Andree <matthias.andree@xxxxxx>
* fix tons of memory leaks
2001-04-08 Matthias Andree <matthias.andree@xxxxxx>
* artutil.c (supersede_cancel): also remove article from out.going
(supersede_cancel): renamed from supersede
(fgetheader): additional parameter to suppress rewinding
(cancel): new function
(check_supersede_cancel): new function, checks for Supersedes: and
Control: cancel header in a given article file and does
appropriate action. NO VALIDATION CURRENTLY.
* activutil.c (findgroup): uses bsearch instead of helpfindgroup now.
* dirutil.c (DIRLIST_ALLNUM): new, to get directory list of all
files that consist only of digits
* nntpd.c (main): output greeting only after active has been read.
* xoverutil.c (helpfindxover): function deleted
(findxover): use bsearch now that helpfindxover is gone
(getxover): set xcount properly to make leafnode robust against
missing lines in xover file (confused bsearch before the fix)
(getxoverline): get bytes from stat, count only body lines
(getxoverline): use new getfoldedline function for simplicity
(writexover): got rid of the difficult-to-use writev which doesn't
buy us anything, use stdio buffering instead
* getfoldedline.c (getfoldedline): new function
* Makefile.in: create configuration directory (found by Claudia Ludwig)
