* Rename test_jconf.c to test_jconf_cpp.cpp
* Parse the config file on arenas
read_jconf now reads the file and builds the JSON tree in a scratch arena
that is released before it returns, and copies the parsed strings into one
process-lifetime arena instead of a malloc per string. parse_addr and the
config parser share one address splitter.
Port test_jconf to C++ and cover every field copied out of the parse tree,
a re-read, and the densest file the size limit accepts.
* tests: rename remaining C unit tests to .cpp (no content changes)
* tests: port remaining C unit tests to the C++ test harness
Convert acl, acl_literal, aead2022, base64, buffer, cache (legacy
reference), crypto, ipset, ipset_reference, json, netutils, ppbloom,
process, ref, ssurl and utils tests to test_helpers.hpp. ctest names are
unchanged; every assertion is kept. Build the ported sources with the
strict C++ warning set.
* Run clang-tidy on every ported test
The test regex skipped file names with digits (test_aead2022_cpp.cpp,
test_base64_cpp.cpp); include them, fix the two optional accesses it then
reports, and build test_jconf with the strict warning set.
* docs: per-connection RSS on Linux against the C relay
* test_jconf: check read_jconf results before using them
* Add allocation-free C++ AEAD codecs
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.
* Include <algorithm> for std::min in test_crypto_aead_cpp.cpp
* Build the C++ AEAD codecs against Mbed TLS 2.x
Mbed TLS 2 returns void from mbedtls_sha1_starts/update/finish (the int
versions are the _ret variants), which the system-library build on
Ubuntu (2.28) rejects. crypto/mbedtls_compat.hpp gives one int-returning
spelling for both.
* Include C++ headers before crypto.h in test_crypto_aead_cpp.cpp
crypto.h defines min/max macros for the C sources; libstdc++ headers
included after it fail to parse.
* Disable the zero-allocation checks with a system Mbed TLS
They hold for the bundled Mbed TLS (MBEDTLS_BLOCK_CIPHER_C); a system
one may allocate in GCM key setup, as the Debian package build shows.
src/event/loop.hpp wraps uv_loop/poll/timer/signal/async handles that
live by value inside their owner and dispatch to an owner member
function chosen at compile time. A Poll owns its socket and carries
read and write interest on one handle, closing the descriptor in
libuv's close callback. CloseGroup collects the asynchronous closes of
an owner's handles and reports completion afterwards, which is how
pooled owners implement AsyncClosable. DeadlineList drives the idle
timeouts of many owners from one timer.
test_event_cpp covers readiness, closing a peer from inside a
callback, recycling a pooled owner only after its handles closed,
repeating timers, deadline ordering and cross-thread wakeups.
* Enable C++20 alongside C11 in the build
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.
* Add C++20 ownership and allocation core
Header-only primitives for the no-heap-after-startup design:
Result/Status, Region, ObjectPool with PoolPtr (std::unique_ptr with a
pool deleter), generation-checked Handle and asynchronous close support,
intrusive RefPtr, FixedBuffer, MonotonicArena, FixedHashMap and FixedLru,
IntrusiveList, and a bounded FixedHeap for third-party allocator hooks.
Unit tests cover each primitive (test_core_*). scripts/check_no_heap.py
rejects heap allocation in C++ sources under src/ and runs as a ctest.
clang-tidy now also analyses C++ sources and the core headers.
* Add heap allocation audit for relayed connections
alloc_counter is a preloadable malloc counter (glibc, macOS) that writes
a snapshot on SIGUSR2. measure_alloc.py warms ss-local and ss-server up,
snapshots both, relays more connections and reports allocations per
connection. It runs report-only as the alloc_audit_report ctest.
interop.peers() now yields the started processes.
* Document the C++20 port and allocation baseline
docs/cpp-core.md describes the language profile, the core primitives,
the phase plan and the measured C baseline (77-89 allocations per
connection in ss-server, 27-39 in ss-local). The compatibility contract
now keeps the C11 public header instead of a C11 code base. CLAUDE.md
drops stale libev, submodule and gnu99 references.
* Fix CI for the C++ core: libstdc++ headers, static unwinder, newer clang
- docker/static: Alpine's libstdc++ headers come with g++, and the C++
tests' static libstdc++ needs an unwinder that compiler-rt lacks; add
g++ and llvm-libunwind.
- FixedBuffer: drop the unused kCapacity (clang-tidy 18 reports it as a
dynamically initialized header static).
- ss-server on Windows: manager_addr was only read in POSIX-only code,
which newer clang rejects (-Wunused-but-set-global); say that the
option is ignored there.
* CI: allow running the test and build workflows by hand
Stacked PRs target their parent branch, which these workflows do not
trigger on; workflow_dispatch lets each layer run the full matrix.
* CI: let clang-tidy ignore GCC-only warning flags
The compile database comes from a GCC build, whose flags (for example
-Wno-class-memaccess) clang-tidy does not know and reports as errors.
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.
Real bugs fixed:
- manager.c: kill_server/stop_server checked fscanf() != EOF, so malformed
pid file content left pid uninitialized and passed it to kill(). Parse
with fgets + ss_parse_int and require pid > 0.
- utils.c: get_default_conf() crashed on strlen(NULL) when HOME is unset
(e.g. daemons started by init) and left a dangling static pointer after
free(), a latent use-after-free on repeated calls. Use a static buffer
and fall back to the system config when HOME is missing.
- local.c: in UDP_ONLY mode, start_ss_local_server() passed uninitialized
listen_ctx.fd to the library callback. Initialize it to -1.
Improvements:
- Replace rand()/srand(time(NULL)) upstream-server selection in ss-local,
ss-redir and ss-tunnel with libsodium randombytes_uniform(): unbiased,
unpredictable, and no seeding required (cert-msc30/msc32).
- Mark FATAL() noreturn so both the compiler and analyzers understand
control flow (removes a family of analyzer false positives).
- Drop two dead stores (manager.c restore_sigchld, udprelay.c src_addr_len).
All remaining findings were verified as false positives and carry NOLINT
comments with rationale (uthash macro internals, symmetric back-pointer
cleanup, analyzer-invisible postconditions). clang-tidy-18 on Linux now
reports zero warnings, so MAX_WARNINGS drops from 29 to 0.
