Our monotime mocking forces us to call monotime_init() *before* we set the
mocked time value. monotime_init() thus stores the first ratchet value at
whatever the platform is at, and then we set fake mocked time to some later
value.
If monotime_init() gets a value from the host that is greater than what we
choose to mock time at for our unittests, all subsequent monotime_abosolute()
calls return zero, which breaks all unittests that depend on time moving
forward by updating mocked monotime values.
So, we need to adjust our mocked time to take the weird monotime_init() time
into account, when we set fake time.
Previously we used time(NULL) to set the Expires: header in our HTTP
responses. This made the actual contents of that header untestable,
since the unit tests have no good way to override time(), or to see
what time() was at the exact moment of the call to time() in
dircache.c.
This gave us a race in dir_handle_get/status_vote_next_bandwidth,
where the time() call in dircache.c got one value, and the call in
the tests got another value.
I'm applying our regular solution here: using approx_time() so that
the value stays the same between the code and the test. Since
approx_time() is updated on every event callback, we shouldn't be
losing any accuracy here.
Fixes bug 30001. Bug introduced in fb4a40c32c4a7e5; not in any
released Tor.
Having the numbers in those messages makes some of the unit test
unstable, by causing them to depend on the initialization order of
the naming objects.
When a directory authority is using a bandwidth file to obtain the
bandwidth values that will be included in the next vote, serve this
bandwidth file at /tor/status-vote/next/bandwidth.z.
This "publish/subscribe" layer sits on top of lib/dispatch, and
tries to provide more type-safety and cross-checking for the
lower-level layer.
Even with this commit, we're still not done: more checking will come
in the next commit, and a set of usability/typesafety macros will
come after.
This module implements a way to send messages from one module to
another, with associated data types. It does not yet do anything to
ensure that messages are correct, that types match, or that other
forms of consistency are preserved.
