Since the flags are now stored with compatible numbering, we can
just OR them together and see whether the flag we want is in the
result.
(Net code removal!)
Using a bitfield here will enable us to unify the var_type_def_t flags
with the config_var_t flags.
(This commit does not yet do that unification, and does not yet
rename or refactor any flags. It only changes booleans into bits.)
Previously they checked the individual flags inside var_type_def_t;
now they call the appropriate var_type_is_*() functions.
(These functions will be removed entirely by the end of this branch.)
We had though to make all obsolete and invisible variables
ungettable, so that GETCONF would reject them. But it turns out
that this isn't the current behavior of GETCONF with those
variables. So for now, I'm leaving the current behavior unchanged.
(See ticket 31647 for a proposal to change the behavior.)
Now that the variants of these functions that took config_line_t are
gone, there is no longer any reason for the remaining variants to
have "ex" at the end of their names.
This commit was made by running this perl script over all the files
in src/:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w -i -p
s{typed_var_(assign|free|encode|copy|eq|ok|kvassign|kvencode|mark_fragile)_ex}
{typed_var_$1}g;
Previously we used int in some places and off_t for others. Neither
is correct: ptrdiff_t is right for differences between pointers.
(off_t is only for offsets and sizes on the filesystem.)
Also add an explanation of a possible future refactoring where we
might remove the config_type_t enumeration entierly.
Fixes ticket 31624.
No changes file, since this is a comment-only change.
When we parse a CLEAR line (e.g., "/OrPort" or /OrPort blah blah"),
we always suppress the value, even if one exists. That means that
the block of code was meant to handle CLEAR lines didn't actually do
anything, since we previously handled them the same way as with
other empty values.
Closes ticket 31529.
Previously we used int here, but it is more correct to use
ptrdiff_t. (This never actually matters for our code in practice,
since the structure we are managing here never exceed INT_MAX in
size.)
