2008-03-01Modified revamp of the libsmbclient interface.Derrell Lipman1-35/+35
Given the tacit (if that) approval by some people, and clear disapproval by others for my proposed clean-up and reorganization of libsmbclient, I've come up with a slightly different approach. This commit changes back to the original libsmbclient.h SMBCCTX structure which will maintain ABI compatibility. I retain, here, the setter and getter functions which all new code should use. Older programs already compiled should continue to work fine. Older programs being recompiled will encounter compile-time errors (intentionally!) so that the code can be corrected to use the setter/getter interfaces. Although this doesn't clean up the interface in the way I had wanted, the code reorganization and requirement for new programs to use the setters and getters allows future progress to be made on libsmbclient without further muddying up the interface, while retaining the ABI compatibility that was the big issue causing disapproval. I hope that this compromise is adequate. Derrell (This used to be commit 56429a3d60b2a48963342f6340b3c01469a892c6)
2008-03-01Initial revamp of the libsmbclient interface.Derrell Lipman1-0/+1928
The libsmbclient interface has suffered from difficulty of improvement and feature enrichment without causing ABI breakage. Although there were a number of issues, the primary ones were: (a) the user of the library would manually manipulate the context structure members, meaning that nothing in the context structure could change other than adding stuff at the end; (b) there were three methods of setting options: setting bits in a flags field within the context structure, setting explicit options variables within an options structure in the context structure, and by calling the smbc_option_set() function; (c) the authentication callback did not traditionally provide enough information to the callee which required adding an option for a callback with a different signature, and now there are requests for even more information at the callback, requiring yet a third signature and option to set it (if we implement that feature). This commit provides a reorganization of the code which fixes (a) and (b). The context structure is now entirely opaque, and there are setter and getter functions for manipulating it. This makes maintaining ABI consistency much, much easier. Additionally, the options setting/getting has been unified into a single mechanism using smbc_option_set() and smbc_option_get(). Yet to be completed is a refactoring of the authentication callback (c). The test programs in examples/libsmbclient have been modified (if necessary; some applications require no changes at all) for the new API and a few have been minimally tested.
