An upcoming feature requires new parameters for storagePosixNew() and this causes a lot of churn because almost every test creates a Posix storage object. Some refactoring in the tests might reduce this duplication but storagePosixNew() is collecting a lot of parameters so converting to storagePosixNewP() makes sense in any case.
There are relatively few call sites in the core code but they still benefit from better readability after this change.
Timeout used for connections and read/write operations.
Note that the entire read/write operation does not need to complete within this timeout but some progress must be made, even if it is only a single byte.
This is really a socket option so the new name is clearer.
Since common/io/socket/tcp will contains a mix of options it makes sense to rename it to socket and cascade name changes as needed.
Prior to 2.25 the individual TCP keep-alive options were not being configured due to a missing header. In 2.25 they were being configured incorrectly due to a disconnect between the timeout specified in ms and what was expected by the TCP options, i.e. seconds.
Instead make the TCP keep-alive options directly configurable, with correct units and better testing. Keep-alive is enabled by default (though it can be defaulted to the system setting instead) and the rest of the options are not set by default. This is in line with what PostgreSQL does, though PostgreSQL does not allow keep-alive to be defaulted.
Also move configuration of TCP options before connect() as PostgreSQL does.
Add compress-type option and deprecate compress option. Since the compress option is boolean it won't work with multiple compression types. Add logic to cfgLoadUpdateOption() to update compress-type if it is not set directly. The compress option should no longer be referenced outside the cfgLoadUpdateOption() function.
Add common/compress/helper module to contain interface functions that work with multiple compression types. Code outside this module should no longer call specific compression drivers, though it may be OK to reference a specific compression type using the new interface (e.g., saving backup history files in gz format).
Unit tests only test compression using the gz format because other formats may not be available in all builds. It is the job of integration tests to exercise all compression types.
Additional compression types will be added in future commits.
These commands (e.g. restore, archive-get) never used the compress options but allowed them to be passed on the command line. Now they will error when these options are passed on the command line. If these errors occur then remove the unused options.
Although path-style URIs have been deprecated by AWS, they may still be used with products like Minio because no additional DNS configuration is required.
Path-style URIs must be explicitly enabled since it is not clear how they can be auto-detected reliably. More importantly, faulty detection could cause regressions in current installations.
This macro was created before the String object existed so subsequent usage with String always included a lot of strPtr() wrapping.
TEST_RESULT_STR_Z() had already been introduced but a wholesale replacement of TEST_RESULT_STR() was not done since the priority was on the C migration.
Update all calls to (old) TEST_RESULT_STR() with one of the following variants: (new) TEST_RESULT_STR(), TEST_RESULT_STR_Z(), TEST_RESULT_Z(), TEST_RESULT_Z_STR().
Adding a dummy column which is always set by the P() macro allows a single macro to be used for parameters or no parameters without violating C's prohibition on the {} initializer.
-Wmissing-field-initializers remains disabled because it still gives wildly different results between versions of gcc.
If this option is set then ports appended to repo-s3-endpoint or repo-s3-host will be ignored.
Setting this option explicitly may be the only way to use a bare ipv6 address with S3 (since multiple colons confuse the parser) but we plan to improve this in the future.
Secure options could show up in the help as "current". While the user must have permissions to see the source of the options (e.g. environment, config file) it's still not a good idea to display them in an unexpected context.
Instead show secure options as <redacted> in the help command.
The new name is preferred because pgBackRest does not support any SSL protocol versions (they are all considered to be insecure).
The old name will continue to be accepted.
Remove "File" and "Driver" from object names so they are shorter and easier to keep consistent.
Also remove the "driver" directory so storage implementations are visible directly under "storage".
The function pointer casting used when creating drivers made changing interfaces difficult and led to slightly divergent driver implementations. Unit testing caught production-level errors but there were a lot of small issues and the process was harder than it should have been.
Use void pointers instead so that no casts are required. Introduce the THIS_VOID and THIS() macros to make dealing with void pointers a little safer.
Since we don't want to expose void pointers in header files, driver functions have been removed from the headers and the various driver objects return their interface type. This cuts down on accessor methods and the vast majority of those functions were not being used. Move functions that are still required to .intern.h.
Remove the special "C" crypto functions that were used in libc and instead use the standard interface.
There is only one instance in the core code where this helps. It is mostly helpful in the tests.
There is an argument to be made that only THROW_SYS_ERROR*() variants should be used in the core code to improve test coverage. If so, that will be the subject of a future commit.
