paraslash/string.h, branch v0.3

Fix various dead stores found by the clang static analyzer.

2009-03-18T22:05:22Z

Use symbolic names for loglevels and clean up the ggo mess.

2009-01-18T01:25:42Z

We now use m4 to generate the ggo files, which allows to get rid of a lot of duplicated command line options and improves the readability of the man pages.

Change year of copyright from 2008 to 2009.

2009-01-10T00:53:18Z

Move valid_fd_012() from string.c to fd.c.

2008-08-04T15:11:41Z

Update doxygen documentation.

Complete the afs callback conversion.

This makes it possible for the callbacks to pass a partial result buffer through the command handler <-> callback socket. This removes a serious limitation of previous paraslash-0.3.x versions: As callbacks could not send data directly to the command handler they had to store the full command output in a buffer. This buffer was sent to the command handler after the callback returns. The problem with this approach is that it caused the callbacks to allocate large amounts of memory. If that amount exceeded what can be stored in a shared memory area (32MB on Linux), the command even failed. The fix consists of adding a max_size field and a max_size_handler function pointer to the para_buffer structure. Whenever para_printf() would need to allocate more memory than specified by max_size, it calls the max_size_handler which is supposed to send out the data. para_printf then prints the requested data into the old but now empty buffer. Almost all users set the max_size_handler to pass_buffer_as_shm(), a helper function implemented in afs.c that copies the buffer to a shared memory area and sends its identifier through the socket.

Remove para_mkstemp().

2008-02-10T13:30:30Z

It's unused.

2008-01-08T19:47:06Z

Simplify para_basename().

2007-12-29T20:43:13Z

No need to allocate additional memory. This saves a malloc/free in the hot path of com_ls(), the only caller. Also take care for the case basename == NULL.

string.h: for_each_line_ro() takes a _pointer_ to the line_handler.
