windows sockets. The winsock implementation will only work with sockets;
our implementation works with sockets and file descriptors.
By association, stream_select() will now operate correctly with files, pipes and sockets.
This change required linking against the winsock2 library. In terms of
compatibility, only older versions of windows 95 do not have winsock2
installed by default. It is available as a redistributable file, and is most likely installed by any OS patches (eg: Internet Explorer) applied by the user.
Also, add a win32 compatible pipe test when opening a stream from a pipe. This test will only work on NT, win2k and XP platforms. Without this test, interleaved fread() and select() calls would cause the read buffer to be clobbered. I will be working on a fix for this issue for win9x.
- introduces an overflow detection in STR_TO_DEC
- eliminates dead code (e.g. assert(foo); if (foo) {..})
- removes unused macros from the original code
- simplifies code (e.g. cc was completely dropped)
- improves run-time performance
The max_len feature is never used in our code base.
Nevertheless, cpu cycles were spent on each string
operation to check the current length against max_len which
is quite inefficient. Thus, I've moved the check to
vspprintf where it is applied only once per call.
Sometimes streams signal a temporary EOF, because all current data
has been consumed. But that does not preclude the possibility that
more data will become available later.
Thus we must not treat eof in the read path as final.
Now, "tail -f" like scripts work again.
alphabetical order. This gives a user a way to control the order in which
the ini files are loaded).
Fixed a bug that would make the code try to read files without an extension
as ini files.
non-privileged user the web server is running as. this is useful
for creating shared memory segments which need to be accessed by
the child processes/threads.
