"I wanted to let you know that I've done a quick port of ngircd-0.12.0 for
NEXTSTEP3.3/OPENSTEP4.2. There wasn't a lot of changes required to get it
to compile clean, but I did make the necessary changes so that I didn't
have to use -posix flag. The NeXT has a pretty buggy POSIX implementation
so I always try to work around it. :-)
Anway, here's the changes required to get it to compile."
This patch fixes the following error message of GCC (tested with version
4.3.0) when not compiling ngIRCd in "strict RFC" mode:
parse.c: In function "Validate_Args":
parse.c:341: error: unused parameter "Idx"
parse.c:341: error: unused parameter "Req"
Some operating systems, for example OpenBSD and OpenSolaris, use
"localhost.<domain>" instead of just "localhost" for 127.0.0.1, so
the "message-test" using "localhost" failed on such systems.
Don't have an idee how to make this work on all platforms ... :-/
So I simply disabled the two affected tests to make the testsuite
run on OpenBSD and OpenSolaris again.
This patch fixes the following warning of GCC 4.3.1:
irc.c: In function "Send_Message":
irc.c:315: error: "lastCurrentTarget" may be used uninitialized in
this function
This closes Bug #88.
Patch proposed by Eric <egrunow@ucsd.edu>, but with wrong length
comparision: please note that Channel_IsValidName() checks the name
INCLUDING the prefix, so the test must be length<=1!
Up to this patch ngIRCd did not return any result (GIT master) or a badly
formated 403 (":irc.server 403 test :No such channel" [note the two
spaces!], branch-0-12-x) on the above commands, this patch changes the
behaviour to reflect ircd 2.11 which returns 461 in both cases.
Some operating systems, for example OpenBSD, use "localhost.<domain>"
instead of "localhost", so the "who-test" expecting "localhost" failed
on such systems.
(Please see 149859c5fecc..., which fixes this for the who-test already)
- Solaris needs both -lsocket _and_ -lnsl
- A/UX needs -lUTIL
"... which totally sucks because we'd link libnsl on Linux, too
(where its not needed at all). So, we have to figure out how to tell
autocrap to NOT put -lnsl there unless it exports a symbol we need.
This also means that [...] has to be reverted (or done properly)."

This reverts commit 2b14234abc.
(they use none of its symbols).
So, rip out that AC_CHECK_LIB cruft, pointed out by Christoph Biedl.
If there are platforms that really need that we should
only link when we actually use these libraries.
On some systems (for example Gentoo Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD), these
variables are used to select which version of GNU automake and autoconf
to use, but we shouldn't depend on a specific version -- instead we
should use the "system default". So probably it is up to the user to
set these variables accordingly to set up some wrapper scripts of his
operating system distribution.
This patch fixes the following two warnings of GCC 4.2.4:
irc-channel.c: In function "IRC_JOIN":
irc-channel.c:185:
warning: "lastkey" may be used uninitialized in this function
irc-channel.c:185:
warning: "lastchan" may be used uninitialized in this function
Up to now ngIRCd accepted CR+LF as well as a single CR or LF in "non RFC
compliant" mode (the default). But ngIRCd became confused when it received
data containing mixed line endings (e. g. "111\r222\n333\r\n").
This patch enables ngIRCd (in "non RFC compliant" mode) to detect CR+LF,
CR, and LF as equally good line termination sequences and to always end the
command after the first one detected.
Some clients (for exmaple Trilian) are that ... broken to send such mixed
line terminations ...

Thanks to Ali Shemiran <ashemira@ucsd.edu> for testing!
If ngircd receives an input line like "COMMAND arg\nIRRELEVANT\r\n",
"arg\nIRRELEVANT" is passed as an argument to COMMAND. This can lead
to output like:
:ngircd.test.server 322 nick #chan 1 :
topicwithprecedingnewline
:ngircd.test.server 322 nick #nxtchan 1 :
[..]
Worse, this allows clients to piggyback irc commands, e.g.
"TOPIC #a :test\n:fake!~a@nonexistant JOIN :#a\r\n", which
causes the client to receive a JOIN command during /LIST output.
Bug reported by Scott Perry, first patch by Florian Westphal.
In addition, the "timeout" variable has been removed because it is
unnecessary today: Handle_Buffer() handles all the data it can handle,
and io_dispatch() returns immediately when new data is available. So
we don't have to double-check but better sleep. Pointed out by Florian.
This patch does significant cleanup on the join code by using strtok_r
instead of mangling strchr to parse channel names and keys in parallel when
a JOIN command contains a list of channels and keys.
Also adds an strtok_r implementation to libportab.
Drop checks for the following C standard functions:
malloc, memmove, memset, realloc, strchr, strcspn, strerror, strstr.
Rationale: These are standard K&R/C89 functions, no point in
''making sure they exist''.
this also obsoletes ListenIPv4 and ListenIPv6 options.
If Listen is unset, it is treated as Listen="::,0.0.0.0".
Note: ListenIPv4 and ListenIPv6 options are still recognized,
but ngircd will print a warning if they are used in the config file.
Also, some plattforms require that ai_socktype
is set in the getaddrinfo() hints structure.
This patch adds -h and -V short options (to complement the usage).
It is based on a patch attached to Debian bug #466063, see
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=466063>.
Idea by Jari Aalto <jari.aalto@cante.net>,
patch adapted by Alexander Barton <alex@barton.de>.
It is hard to test this in the test suite because we 1) shouldn't rely on
previous tests populating WHOWAS and 2) don't connect a user for more than 30
seconds.
Also makes WHOWAS return ERR_NONICKNAMEGIVEN_MSG as implied by RFC.
