Conventionally in Tor, structs are returned as pointers, so change
tor_spawn_background() to return the process handle in a pointer rather
than as return value.
* Use strcmpstart() instead of strcmp(x,y,strlen(y)).
* Warn the user if the managed proxy failed to launch.
* Improve function documentation.
* Use smartlist_len() instead of n_unconfigured_proxies.
* Split managed_proxy_destroy() to managed_proxy_destroy()
and managed_proxy_destroy_with_transports().
* Constification.
We'll still need to tweak it so that it looks for includes and
libraries somewhere more sensible than "where we happened to find
them on Erinn's system"; so that tests and tools get built too;
so that it's a bit documented; and so that we actually try running
the output.
Work done with Erinn Clark.
- pid, stdout/stderr_pipe now encapsulated in process_handle
- read_all replaced by tor_read_all_from_process_stdin/stderr
- waitpid replaced by tor_get_exit_code
Untested on *nix
This is the meat of proposal 171: we change circuit_is_acceptable()
to require that the connection is compatible with every connection
that has been linked to the circuit; we update circuit_is_better to
prefer attaching streams to circuits in the way that decreases the
circuits' usefulness the least; and we update link_apconn_to_circ()
to do the appropriate bookkeeping.
* Create a function that will get input from a stream, so that we can
communicate with the managed proxy.
* Hackish change to tor_spawn_background() so that we can specify an
environ for our spawn.
Original message from bug3393:
check_private_dir() to ensure that ControlSocketsGroupWritable is
safe to use. Unfortunately, check_private_dir() only checks against
the currently running user… which can be root until privileges are
dropped to the user and group configured by the User config option.
The attached patch fixes the issue by adding a new effective_user
argument to check_private_dir() and updating the callers. It might
not be the best way to fix the issue, but it did in my tests.

On win64, sockets are of type UINT_PTR; on win32 they're u_int;
elsewhere they're int. The correct windows way to check a socket for
being set is to compare it with INVALID_SOCKET; elsewhere you see if
it is negative.
On Libevent 2, all callbacks take sockets as evutil_socket_t; we've
been passing them int.
This patch should fix compilation and correctness when built for
64-bit windows. Fixes bug 3270.
We'll need this for checking permissions on the directories that hold
control sockets: if somebody says "ControlSocket ~/foo", it would be
pretty rude to do a chmod 700 on their homedir.
