This matches the convention of the stdlib and avoids ambiguity: when
customErr{} and &customErr{} both implement error, client code needs to
check for both.
Memory use should remain the same, since storing a non-pointer type in
an interface value still copies the value to the heap.
We set the STRESTART environment when starting the inner process after
the first time, but this didn't persist when restarting the monitor
process. Now it does.
I was working on indirecting version vectors, and that resulted in some
refactoring and improving the existing block indirection stuff. We may
or may not end up doing the version vector indirection, but I think
these changes are reasonable anyhow and will simplify the diff
significantly if we do go there. The main points are:
- A bunch of renaming to make the indirection and GC not about "blocks"
but about "indirection".
- Adding a cutoff so that we don't actually indirect for small block
lists. This gets us better performance when handling small files as it
cuts out the indirection for quite small loss in space efficiency.
- Being paranoid and always recalculating the hash on put. This costs
some CPU, but the consequences if a buggy or malicious implementation
silently substituted the block list by lying about the hash would be bad.
Also retain the interval over restarts by storing last GC time in the
database. This to make sure that GC eventually happens even if the
interval is configured to a long time (say, a month).
Since we've taken upon ourselves to create a log file by default on
Windows, this adds proper management of that log file. There are two new
options:
-log-max-old-files="3" Number of old files to keep (zero to keep only current).
-log-max-size="10485760" Maximum size of any file (zero to disable log rotation).
The default values result in four files (syncthing.log, synchting.0.log,
..., syncthing.3.log) each up to 10 MiB in size. To not use log rotation
at all, the user can say --log-max-size=0.
This adds a certificate lifetime parameter to our certificate generation
and hard codes it to twenty years in some uninteresting places. In the
main binary there are a couple of constants but it results in twenty
years for the device certificate and 820 days for the HTTPS one. 820 is
less than the 825 maximum Apple allows nowadays.
This also means we must be prepared for certificates to expire, so I add
some handling for that and generate a new certificate when needed. For
self signed certificates we regenerate a month ahead of time. For other
certificates we leave well enough alone.
This introduces a better set of defaults for large databases. I've
experimentally determined that it results in much better throughput in a
couple of scenarios with large databases, but I can't give any
guarantees the values are always optimal. They're probably no worse than
the defaults though.
