We used to have this function so that we could mark our initial
log-to-stdout as specifically temporary so that we would delete it
once regular logs were configured. But it's no longer necessary to
mark these logs as temporary, since we now use a mark-and-sweep
process to ensure that _all_ not-configured logs are closed when we
change our configuration.
Instead, this function will be the basis of a refactoring in how we
handle default logs.
We have a getaddrinfo() implementation that we prefer, and a
gethostbyname*() implementation that we fall back on. Give them
both the same interface, and let them be called by the same name.
This is a preparatory step for making them both mockable.
The documentation for this function says that the smartlist can
contain NULLs, but the code only handled NULLs if they were at the
start of the list.
We didn't notice this for a long time, because when Tor is run
normally, the sequence of msg_id_t is densely packed, and so this
list (mapping msg_id_t to channel_id_t) contains no NULL elements.
We could only run into this bug:
* when Tor was running in embedded mode, and starting more than once.
* when Tor ran first with more pubsub messages enabled, and then
later with fewer.
* When the second run (the one with fewer enabled pubsub messages)
had at least some messages enabled, and those messages were not
the ones with numerically highest msg_id_t values.
Fixes bug 31898; bugfix on 47de9c7b0a
in 0.4.1.1-alpha.
There is a bad design choice in two of our configuration types,
where the empty string encodes a value that is not the same as the
default value. This design choice, plus an implementation mistake,
meant that config_dup() did not preserve the value of routerset_t,
and thereby caused bug #31495.
This comment-only patch documents the two types with the problem,
and suggests that implementors try to avoid it in the future.
Closes ticket 31907.
The log mutex is dynamically initialized, guarded by log_mutex_initialized.
We don't want to destroy it, because after it is destroyed, we won't see
any more logs.
If tor is re-initialized, log_mutex_initialized will still be 1. So we
won't trigger any undefined behaviour by trying to re-initialize the
log mutex.

cb_buf_mutex is statically initialised, so we can not destroy it when
we are shutting down the err subsystem. If we destroy it, and then
re-initialise tor, all our backtraces will fail.

Move SEVERITY_MASK_IDX() to log.h private/unit tests section, so that
we can use it in log.c, the unit tests, and the fuzzers.
(The test and fuzzer code changes are in a subsequent commit.)
Preparation for bug 31334.
When processing a %included folder, a bug caused the pointer to
the last element of the options list to be set to NULL when
processing a file with only comments or whitepace. This could
cause options from other files on the same folder to be
discarded depending on the lines after the affected %include.
