src/crypto/aead.hpp implements the SIP004/SIP007 AEAD ciphers as value
types: AeadEngine holds the libsodium or Mbed TLS GCM state by value,
AeadTcpEncryptor/AeadTcpDecryptor frame the chunk stream with a fixed
reassembly buffer, and aead_udp_seal/open handle packets. HKDF-SHA1 runs
on stack SHA-1 state instead of Mbed TLS's allocating HMAC API.
The bundled Mbed TLS config now enables MBEDTLS_BLOCK_CIPHER_C, which
keeps the AES context inside mbedtls_gcm_context, so GCM key setup no
longer allocates. That alone saves the C programs two allocations per
connection.
test_crypto_aead_cpp checks HKDF against RFC 5869 and crypto_hkdf, runs
TCP streams and UDP packets between the C and C++ implementations in
both directions for all five AEAD methods, and covers tampering,
framing and salt replay. alloc_steady_crypto_aead runs it under the
malloc counter and requires zero allocations across 600 new
connections and 600 packets (tests/alloc_audit/check_steady.py).
ss_strict_warnings() now applies -Wextra per source file so targets
mixing new C++ with converted C modules keep the latter at -Wall, and
Result gains move assignment.
Rename utils, ss_event, udprelay, winsock, local, server, tunnel, redir
and manager from .c to .cpp. Inside the moved files only the
\snippet{doc} file references and header comments change; snippet
references in doc/*.md, tests/test_cli_docs.py, the build files and
CONTRIBUTION.md follow the new names.
Also cast the Windows-only string literal returned by
get_default_conf(), found by the zig x86_64-windows-gnu build.
Every module of src/ except the unbuilt android.c and the vendored
blake3 is now compiled as C++20. The new .cpp files join the no-heap
ratchet baseline.
GCC's C++ -Wall includes -Wsign-compare and -Wclass-memaccess, which C's
-Wall does not, so the converted modules failed -Werror on GCC (Linux,
UCRT64) although nothing in them changed. They keep the warning set they
were written against; code under ss_strict_warnings() re-enables both.
Rename base64, json, ipset, process, ppbloom, rule, ssurl and cache from
.c to .cpp without touching their contents, and update the CMake source
lists, debian/copyright and the docs.
Ported code keeps -Wall; -Wextra is now opt-in through
ss_strict_warnings() for code written as C++ (the core tests).
check_no_heap.py gains a ratchet baseline for the converted modules,
which still allocate the way the C code did. A new check_cxx_runtime
test verifies with nm that the programs and libshadowsocks-c.a still
need no C++ runtime library, so C consumers are unaffected.
Add CXX to the project with C++20 (no extensions) and build C++ sources
with -Wextra -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -fno-threadsafe-statics on top of
the existing warning flags. Give every toolchain a C++ compiler: the zig
Windows toolchain, the static macOS/Windows CI jobs, the static musl
image (clang++ plus libstdc++ headers) and the RPM spec.
Rename the project to shadowsocks-c while retaining ss-* commands, the embedding ABI, and legacy library/package lookup compatibility.
Replace libev with bundled libuv for IOCP/kqueue event backends, expand asynchronous runtime DNS coverage, and add actionlint/Ruff with strict clang-tidy failure handling. Validate native platforms, static builds, packaging, interoperability, sanitizers, and canonical/legacy consumers.
All 22 hosted checks pass at reviewed head a8493250eb.
Bundle pinned offline dependencies, remove libcork/libipset and submodule requirements, and add portable runtime helpers with relocatable static/shared library installations.
Add Clang static build validation for Linux/musl, macOS and Windows, real TCP/UDP and SIP003 interoperability coverage, and recorded performance tradeoffs. All 21 hosted checks pass at the reviewed PR head 8d504e6218.
find_library's search order puts CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH ahead of HINTS, so on
a Homebrew machine with both mbedtls (4.x) and the keg-only mbedtls@3,
the headers resolved to mbedtls@3 while the libraries resolved to 4.x.
That is not a link error but memory corruption at runtime:
mbedtls_cipher_context_t grew between the two versions, so every context
allocated with ss_malloc(sizeof(cipher_evp_t)) from the 3.x headers was
overrun by 4.x's mbedtls_cipher_init. It corrupted the heap in every
binary that sets up a cipher, and made the unit tests segfault inside an
unrelated malloc.
Pick a prefix that provides both the headers and libmbedcrypto and pin
every component to it, then verify at configure time that the header
version string matches what the linked library reports, so a mismatch
fails the build instead of corrupting memory.
* Modernize build: switch to CMake, add unit tests, fix man pages
Remove autotools (configure.ac, Makefile.am, m4/, autogen.sh) and make
CMake the sole build system. Enhance CMake with proper Find modules for
MbedTLS, libsodium, PCRE, and c-ares with version/feature detection.
Add support for connmarktos, nftables, stack protector, and MinGW.
Add 10 unit test suites (CTest) covering base64, buffer, cache, crypto,
jconf, json, netutils, ppbloom, rule, and utils modules. Add a Python
stress test measuring bandwidth per cipher with memory leak detection.
Fix man page typos ("Resovle" -> "Resolve"), document missing TCP buffer
options, fix ss-manager duplicate --executable entry, add example section
to ss-tunnel, and document --workdir and --nftables-sets options.

* Migrate from PCRE to PCRE2
Replace legacy PCRE (libpcre3) with PCRE2 (libpcre2-8). PCRE1 has been
end-of-life since 2021.
- src/rule.h: use pcre2_code and pcre2_match_data types
- src/rule.c: pcre_compile -> pcre2_compile, pcre_exec -> pcre2_match,
pcre_free -> pcre2_code_free, with proper error message retrieval
- cmake/FindPCRE.cmake -> cmake/FindPCRE2.cmake: find libpcre2-8 via
pkg-config, pcre2-config, or manual search
- Update all CMakeLists.txt, config.h.cmake, configure.cmake, README.md

* Update Dockerfiles: use CMake build and pcre2-dev
The alpine Dockerfile still used autotools (autogen.sh/configure) which
were removed. Switch to cmake build and replace pcre-dev with pcre2-dev.

* Fix Docker build: disable tests and remove git dep
The tests/ directory is excluded by .dockerignore, so pass
-DBUILD_TESTING=OFF to cmake. Submodules are already checked out
by actions/checkout, no need for git inside the container.

* Fix Docker build: disable static libs (not available in alpine)
Alpine's mbedtls-dev only provides shared libraries. Disable static
build since Docker only needs shared binaries.

* Rewrite GitHub Actions: build and test directly on runner
Replace Docker-based CI with direct cmake build on ubuntu-latest and
macos-latest. Install dependencies via apt/brew, build with cmake,
run unit tests with ctest.

* Fix CI: use mbedtls@3 on macOS, disable static build
- macOS: brew's mbedtls is now v4 (incompatible), use mbedtls@3
- Disable static build since CI runners lack static lib packages

* Fix test build on Linux: add stdint.h and link libm
- test_ppbloom.c: add missing #include <stdint.h> for uint8_t
- test_json: link against libm for pow() used in json.c

* Fix test_ppbloom link: add libm for bloom's log()
On Linux, libbloom uses log() which requires explicit -lm linkage.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix Linux build: link libm for test_buffer and test_crypto, fix warnings
Both test_buffer and test_crypto link libbloom.so which uses log() from
libm. Also fix unused variable warnings in test_json.c that would fail
with -Werror.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix Linux build: link libm for test_jconf (json.c uses pow)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* CI: add unit test and stress test steps to GitHub Actions
Split the Test step into separate "Unit tests" (ctest) and "Stress test"
(stress_test.py with 10MB transfer across all AEAD ciphers) steps for
better visibility.
