systemd disables this warning too.
Shared libraries built with sanitizers are a bit inconvenient to use
because they require that any application linking to them is run with
libasan preloaded using LD_PRELOAD. This limitation makes the
sanitizer support less useful because applications will refuse to
start unless there is a special environment variable set.
Let's turn the --enable-address-sanitizer configure flag into
--with-address-sanitizer=yes|no|exec so that is possible to enable
asan only for executables.
The ifcfg-rh plugin provides its own D-Bus service which initscripts
query to determine whether NetworkManager handles an ifcfg file.
Rework the D-Bus glue to hook GDBus with NetworkManager to use
GDBusConnection directly. Don't use generated code, don't use
GDBusInterfaceSkeleton.
We still keep "src/settings/plugins/ifcfg-rh/nm-ifcfg-rh.xml"
and still compile the static generated code. We don't actually need
them anymore, maybe the should be dropped later.
This is a proof of concept for reworking the D-Bus glue in
NetworkManager core to directly use GDBusConnection. Reworking core is
much more complicated, because there we also have properties, and a
class hierarchy.
Arguably, for the trivial ifcfg-rh service all this hardly matters, because
the entire D-Bus service only consists of one method, which is unlikely to
be extended in the future.
Now we get rid of layers of glue code, that were hard to comprehend.
Did you understand how nm_exported_object_skeleton_create() works
and uses the generated code and GDBusInterfaceSkeleton to hook into
GDBusConnection? Congratulations in that case. In my opinion, these
layers of code don't simplify but complicate the code.
The change also reduces the binary size of "libnm-settings-plugin-ifcfg-rh.so"
(build with contrib/rpm --without debug) by 8312 bytes (243672 vs. 235360).
We commonly only allow tabs at the beginning of a line, not
afterwards. The reason for this style is so that the code
looks formated right with tabstop=4 and tabstop=8.
Especially useful, because we don't link against libnl-genl-3.so
but re-implement generic netlink support. Such code should go there
so it can be used by various components.
The `settings-docs.c` file is generated by processing the
`nm-property-docs.xml` file. Although this works in autotools,
the `.c` extension makes meson not to handle it properly.
Given the fact that it only contains a number of defines it
makes sense to change its extension to `.h` an use it as a header.
This also makes meson to handle it properly and build it before
its used.
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2018-January/msg00057.html
Although it is possible to generate distributable files on meson
since version 0.41 by using the `ninja dist` command, autotools does
different things that end up creating a different distributable
file.
meson build files have been added to autotools build files as
distributable files, so the whole meson port would also be
distributed.

Sometimes, we want to use CList to track a simple data item. But contrary
to GList/GSList, we need to define a structure to hold the data pointer
and the CList member.
Add a generic NMCListElem type that can be used for such simple uses.
Before you ask: why not use GList/GSList? Because even simple operations
like g_list_append() is O(n), which kinda defeats the purpose of having
a doubly linked list.
This code is added to a new header file nm-c-list.h, the reason is that
there is no other good place:
- "nm-utils/c-list.h" is a clone of upstream, it should not deviate.
- "nm-utils/c-list-util.h" contains our utils functions for c-list.h
but should be plain C, independent of glib.
- "nm-utils/nm-shared-utils.h" contains our glib related utilities,
but it should not drag in "c-list.h".
So, "nm-c-list.h" is a utility libray that extends "c-list.h" and
requires glib.
When doing changes that affect multiple source files, it's more
convenient to build the parts that have less dependencies first.
So, to fix the build failures from the core outward.
Note that:
- we compile some source files multiple times. Most notably those
under "shared/".
- we include a default header "shared/nm-default.h" in every source
file. This header is supposed to setup a common environment by defining
and including parts that are commonly used. As we always include the
same header, the header must behave differently depending
one whether the compilation is for libnm-core, NetworkManager or
libnm-glib. E.g. it must include <glib/gi18n.h> or <glib/gi18n-lib.h>
depending on whether we compile a library or an application.
For that, the source files need the NETWORKMANAGER_COMPILATION #define
to behave accordingly.
Extend the define to be composed of flags. These flags are all named
NM_NETWORKMANAGER_COMPILATION_WITH_*, they indicate which part of the
build are available. E.g. when building libnm-core.la itself, then
WITH_LIBNM_CORE, WITH_LIBNM_CORE_INTERNAL, and WITH_LIBNM_CORE_PRIVATE
are available. When building NetworkManager, WITH_LIBNM_CORE_PRIVATE
is not available but the internal parts are still accessible. When
building nmcli, only WITH_LIBNM_CORE (the public part) is available.
This granularily controls the build.
Even Gentoo disables this plugin since before 0.9.8 release
of NetworkManager. Time to say goodbye.
If somebody happens to show up to maintain it, we may resurrect it
later.
If "$distro_plugins=ifnet" was set, configure.ac would use that
to autodetect --with-hostname-persist=gentoo. Replace that autodetect
part by checking for /etc/gentoo-release file.
There are three headers `nm-secret-agent-old.h`,
`nm-vpn-plugin-old.h`, and `nm-vpn-service-plugin.h`, which are
named as no introspection headers. However, these files also
join to the rest headers to generate introspection data.
This patch merges those no introspection headers with the public
headers.
`generate-plugin-docs.pl` script which is used to parse
`nm-setting-c*.c` files depends on autotools. This is because it
parses the `Makefile.am` in order to figure out the setting files
it needs to parse.
This patch makes the script independent of autotools by passing
the necessary setting files by command line instead of parsing the
`Makefile.am` file. It also changes the autotools' and meson's
accordingly.
Add the NMIwdManager singleton to be responsible for matching
NMDeviceIwd objects created from platform devices, to IWD Device dbus
objects when they appear/disappear.
This is very similar to NMDeviceWifi but simplified to remove the things
currently unsupported and with calls to nm_platform_wifi_* and
nm_supplicant_* replaced with IWD DBus API calls. Only unsecured
infrastructure-mode networks are supported here.

Systemd instroduces a macro _fallthrough_, see
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/7389.
However, it does not yet seem conclusive how to
handle this properly in ever situation.
While shared/nm-utils/siphash24.c makes use of
the new macro, don't do that in our fork. siphash24.h
does not include all systemd headers, hence _fallthrough_
is not defined. We could re-implement it as _nm_fallthrough,
but given the open questions, that doesn't seem the
Also, don't add the CFLAGS for libjansson to dflt_cppflags_libnm_core.
dflt_cppflags_libnm_core is used also by core and libnm. But those
components do not (directly) link against libjansson. The cannot use
these flags.
I don't think we should do this.
- renamining/dropping configure options is still an annoyance,
because it requires to different ./configure options depending
on the version. The rename from --enable-teamctl to --enable-team
might be theoretically nice, but more annoying then helpful.
- There is no strict dependency between --enable-team and
--enable-json-validation. At most, one could argue that
when enabling the team plugin (--enable-teamctl), then
libnm must also be build with --enable-json-validation.
But in fact, the team plugin will happily work with a
libnm that doesn't link against libjansson.
That is --enable-teamctl --disable-json-validation will work
in practice just fine.
On the other hand, libnm is a client library to create connection
profiles, fully supporting team profiles also makes sense if the
actual plugin is not installed (or build). Thus, --disable-teamctl
--enable-json-validation certainly makes sense.
At this point, one might ask whether libnm is even still complete without
libjansson. Maybe libnm should *require* --enable-json-validation.
But that is not what the patch was doing, and it would also need
some careful consideration before doing so.
This reverts commit 9d5cd7eae8.
Rename the team functionality enablement from 'teamdctl' to 'team'.
Force jansson lib requirement for team functionality: NetworkManager
requires the teamd daemon to manage team. As teamd depends upon jansson
lib, adding jansson requirement for teaming support in NetworkManager
seems reasonable.
Remove the jansson_validation flag, as the only generic json function in
nmcli (not related to team) was the one to check if a string was in json
format. Anyway, that function is used for team checks only. So, move
also json validation functions under the WITH_TEAM flag.
This allows the compiler to inline the siphash24*() functions
for nm_hash_ptr() and nm_hash_str() (even without LTO).
This of course only applies to nm_hash_ptr() and nm_hash_str(),
which are implemented in "nm-hash-utils.c" itself. All other
nm_hash_*() functions are inline functions in "nm-hash-utils.h",
and thus these functions can be inlined instead. That is, in
other cases, the nm_hash_*() function instead can be inlined.
For nm_hash_ptr() and nm_hash_str() instead we want to inline the
siphash24*() functions.
So, no longer compile "siphash24.c" directly. Instead, only
build "nm-hash-utils.c" which internally #include "siphash24.c".

This is especially useful, if you combine static routes
with DHCP. In that case, you might want to get the device-route
to the gateway automatically, but add a static-route for it.

Currently the ifcfg-rh plugin doesn't explicitly store the connection
type for team slaves and is only able to read back ethernet and vlan
connections.
Leave this unchanged for ethernet and vlan slaves, but store the TYPE
variable for other connection types (Wi-Fi and Infiniband) so that we
can properly determine their type when the connection is read.
Travis' version of glib-compile-resources does not support the

Register empty "NMClient" and "NetworkManager" GIR modules as soon as libnm is
loaded witch gnome-introspection. This prevents the real modules from being
loaded because they would in turn load libnm-glib and abort() and crash.
In particular this prevents the GNOME shell from crashing with
libnm-glib abort and allows gracefully disabling the extensions which
use the obsolete library.
