- Use C99 flexible arrays when possible, and fall back on the existing
fname[1] kluges on older compilers.
- Avoid static initialization of a flexible array, which is not really
in the C standard.
- All the memory-allocation macros now auto-check for failure and exit
with a failure message that incudes the caller's file and lineno
info. This includes strdup().
- Added the `--max-alloc=SIZE` option to be able to override the memory
allocator's sanity-check limit. It defaults to 1G (as before).
Fixes bugzilla bug 12769.
- Stop setting the mtime on a file we didn't transfer (or didn't verify
the checksum) when the time diff is within the modify window.
- Stop computing a time difference (-1|0|1) when all we care about is
time equality.
Requires compilation using GCC C++ front end, build scripts have been
modified accordingly. C++ is only used when the optimization is enabled
(g++ as compiler, x86-64 build target, --enable-sse2 is passed to
configure).
(Wayne made a few tweaks, including making it disabled by default.)
If both sides support the "V" compatibility flag, we send the file-list
flags as a varint instead of a 1-or-2 byte value. This upgrades the
number of reserved flag bits from 1 to 17 with very few extra bytes in
typical file-list data.
I replaced git-set-file-times with an improved version that I wrote
recently (in python3). A new script uses it to figure out the
last-modified year for each *.[ch] file and updates its copyright.
It also puts the latest year into the latest-year.h file for the
output of --version.
Add a flag for calling get_dirlist() and for send_directory() that
indicates that the dirname is allowed to not be a directory. Based
on a patch by Ben Rubson. Fixes bug #13445.
If the receiver gets a filename with a leading slash (w/o --relative)
and/or a filename with an embedded ".." dir in the path, it dies with
an error (rather than continuing). Those invalid paths should never
happen in reality, so just reject someone trying to pull a fast one.
The I/O code can receive incremental file-list chunks during deletion,
and their OPT_EXTRA fields would get corrupted when file_extra_cnt is
incremented.
Instead of temporarily enabling uid_ndx to find out whether the user
owns a file, have make_file() set a flag for that purpose.
Applied with a few minor tweaks by Wayne. Fixes bug 7936.
