2016-08-10allow user@host (aka: no password) in URI parsingDavid Kalnischkies
If the URI had no password the username was ignored
2016-07-02use +0000 instead of UTC by default as timezone in outputDavid Kalnischkies
All apt versions support numeric as well as 3-character timezones just fine and its actually hard to write code which doesn't "accidently" accepts it. So why change? Documenting the Date/Valid-Until fields in the Release file is easy to do in terms of referencing the datetime format used e.g. in the Debian changelogs (policy §4.4). This format specifies only the numeric timezones through, not the nowadays obsolete 3-character ones, so in the interest of least surprise we should use the same format even through it carries a small risk of regression in other clients (which encounter repositories created with apt-ftparchive). In case it is really regressing in practice, the hidden option -o APT::FTPArchive::Release::NumericTimezone=0 can be used to go back to good old UTC as timezone. The EDSP and EIPP protocols use this 'new' format, the text interface used to communicate with the acquire methods does not for compatibility reasons even if none of our methods would be effected and I doubt any other would (in these instances the timezone is 'GMT' as that is what HTTP/1.1 requires). Note that this is only true for apt talking to methods, (libapt-based) methods talking to apt will respond with the 'new' format. It is therefore strongly adviced to support both also in method input.
2016-06-29Revert "travis: use gcc-5 instead of gcc(-4.8)"David Kalnischkies
This reverts commit 2b8221d66a8284042fc53c7bbb14bb9750e9137f. Avoiding the use of GCC >= 5 stuff lets use go back to 4.8 simplifying the travis setup again as well as reducing the backport requirements in general. This is possible because the std::get_time use requiring GCC >= 5 in 9febc2b238e1e322dce1f94ecbed46d595893b52 was replaced by handrolling it in 1d742e01470bba27715a8191c50adde4b39c2f19, so the remaining uses are just small conviniences we can do without.

2016-06-25imbue datetime parsing with C.UTF-8 localeDavid Kalnischkies
Rewritten in 9febc2b238e1e322dce1f94ecbed46d595893b52 for c++ locales usage and rewritten again in 1d742e01470bba27715a8191c50adde4b39c2f19 to avoid a currently present stdlibc++6 bug in the std::get_time implementation. The later implementation uses still stringstreams for parsing, but forgot to explicitly reset the locale to something sane (for parsing english dates that is), so date and especially the parsing of a number is depending on the locale. Turns out, the French (among others) format their numbers with space as thousand separator so for some reason the stdlibc++6 thinks its a good idea to interpret the entire datetime string as a single number instead of realizing that in "25 Jun …" the later parts can't reasonably be part of that number even through there are spaces there… Workaround is hence: LC_NUMERIC=C.UTF-8 Closes: 828011
2016-06-17avoid std::get_time usage to sidestep libstdc++6 bugDavid Kalnischkies
As reported upstream in https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=71556 the implementation of std::get_time is currently not as accepting as strptime is, especially in how hours should be formatted. Just reverting 9febc2b238e1e322dce1f94ecbed46d595893b52 would be possible, but then we would reopen the problems fixed by it, so instead I opted here for a rewrite of the parsing logic which makes this method a lot longer, but at least it provides the same benefits as the rewrite in std::get_time was intended to give us and decouples us from the fix of the issue in the standard library implementation of GCC.

2016-05-28use de-localed std::put_time instead rolling our ownDavid Kalnischkies
2016-05-28accept only the expected UTC timezones in date parsingDavid Kalnischkies
HTTP/1.1 hardcodes GMT (RFC 7231 §7.1.1.1) and what is good enough for the internet must be good enough for us™ as we reuse the implementation internally to parse (most) dates we encounter in various places like the Release files with their Date and Valid-Until header fields. Implementing a fully timezone aware parser just feels too hard for no effective benefit as it would take 5+ years (= until LTS's are out of fashion) until a repository could use non-UTC dates and expect it to work. Not counting non-apt implementations which might or might not only want to encounter UTC here as well. As a bonus, this eliminates the use of an instance of setlocale in libapt. Closes: 819697
2016-05-27prevent C++ locale number formatting in text APIsDavid Kalnischkies
Setting the C++ locale via std::locale::global(std::locale("")); which would otherwise default to the default C locale (aka: unaffected by setlocale) effects the formatting of numeric types in IO streams, which for output for humans is perfectly sensible, but breaks our many text interfaces used and parsed by us and others without expecting the numbers to be formatted. Closes: #825396

2016-02-03Avoid temporary strings in SubstVar.Adrian Wielgosik
Microoptimization, but still gives a measurable 2-3% improvement when using commands with lots of output like `apt list`.
2016-01-26drop explicit check for EWOULDBLOCK if it has the same value as EAGAINDavid Kalnischkies
gcc correctly reports that we check for the same value twice, expect that the manpage of read(2) tells us to do it for portability, so to make both sides happy lets add a little #if'ing here. Reported-By: gcc-6 Git-Dch: Ignore
2016-01-07Switch performance critical code to use APT::StringViewJulian Andres Klode
This improves performance of the cache generation on my ARM platform (4x Cortex A15) by about 10% to 20% from 2.35-2.50 to 2.1 seconds.

2015-12-29Turn tolower_ascii() and isspace_ascii() into inline functionsJulian Andres Klode
To preserve compatibility, the new inline functions have _inline as a suffix, and a macro defines the old names to refer to the inline variants. The old functions are still preserved for binary compatibility. Also simplify the implementation of both functions.

Some of them modify the ABI, but given that we prepare a big one already, these few hardly count for much. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-06-11show URI.Path in all acquire item descriptionsDavid Kalnischkies
It is a rather strange sight that index items use SiteOnly which strips the Path, while e.g. deb files are downloaded with NoUserPassword which does not. Important to note here is that for the file transport Path is pretty important as there is no Host which would be displayed by Site, which always resulted in "interesting" unspecific errors for "file:". Adding a 'middle' ground between the two which does show the Path but potentially modifies it (it strips a pending / at the end if existing) solves this "file:" issue, syncs the output and in the end helps to identify which file is meant exactly in progress output and co as a single site can have multiple repositories in different paths.
2015-04-10reimplement the last uses of sprintfDavid Kalnischkies
Working with strings c-style is complicated and error-prune, so by converting to c++ style we gain some simplicity and avoid buffer overflows by later extensions. Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-11-08(error) va_list 'args' was opened but not closed by va_end()David Kalnischkies
The manpage of va_start and co additionally says: On some systems, va_end contains a closing '}' matching a '{' in va_start, so that both macros must occur in the same function, and in a way that allows this. So instead of return/breaking instantly, we save the return, make a proper turndown with va_end in all cases and only end after that. Reported-By: cppcheck Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-10-26rewrite ReadMessages()David Kalnischkies
Central methods of our infrastructure like this one responsible for communication with our methods shouldn't be more complicated then they have to and not claim to have (albeit unlikely) bugs. While I am not sure about having improved the first part, the bug is now gone and a few explicit tests check that it stays that way, so nobody will notice the difference (hopefully) – expect that this should a very tiny bit faster as well as we don't manually proceed through the string.

2014-07-16StringToBool: only act if the entire string is consumed by strtol()Michael Vogt
StringToBool uses strtol() internally to check if the argument is a number. This function stops when it does not find any more numbers. So a string like "0ad" (which is a valid packagename) is interpreted as a "0". The code now checks that the entire string is consumed not just a part of it. Thanks to Johannes Schauer for raising this issue.
2014-07-08Only allow "apt-get build-dep path" when path starts with ./ or /Michael Vogt
This avoid the subtle problem that someone might have a directory with the same package name as the build-depends he/she is trying to fetch. Also print a note that the specific file/dir is used.

The name suggests that it is supposed to substitute a variable with a value, but we tend to use it in a more liberal replace_all() fashion, but this breaks if either of the parameters is empty or more importantly if two "variable" occurrences follow each other directly.
