#251 --remove-source-files deletes sources that were skipped receiver-side
(--existing/--ignore-existing/--update). The receiver now reports a
per-file outcome for every processed data file when the sender requests
removal; the client only unlinks sources the receiver actually wrote.
add remove_source_files to the wire config and bump the protocol to 2.5.0.
#252 --backup/--suffix/--backup-dir broken by NULL-vs-empty wire loss. Receivers
canonicalize the empty wire string back to NULL for backup_dir, temp_dir,
partial_dir and suffix, and --suffix is received unconditionally.
#253 --partial --partial-dir never installed completed files. file_save_to_disk
now renames a fully written partial-dir file into the real destination.
#255 STATUS_CHECK read the entire old file before the size/mtime quick check.
Old contents are only read when a checksum compare or delta needs them.
#256 receive_delta_file failure paths did not set *failed, so the caller sent
STATUS_NEXT and waited for a body that never came. Every NULL return now
marks the transfer failed.
#257 files >64 MiB could not transfer. Whole-file receive caps raised to the
256 MiB connection/allocation ceiling (chunk caps stay 64 MiB) and the
client ignores SIGPIPE so a server-side close surfaces as a clean error.
Unit tests added: config NULL-vs-empty round trip, incremental quick-check
skip/NEXT paths, delta oversize failure, partial-dir install, save-result
skip reporting.
The per-connection memory budget (MAX_CONNECTION_MEMORY, 256 MiB) only
charged wire buffers via receive_data_limited. Decompression buffers and
per-file chunk copies were not accounted for, and the multithreaded
receiver could enqueue up to 100 files (each up to 64 MiB uncompressed)
ahead of a slow disk writer, retaining ~6.4 GiB per connection. A client
sending highly compressible chunks with little bandwidth could OOM the
host while the reserve never tripped.
Bound the receive pipeline by aggregate payload bytes instead of item
count alone:
- Export MAX_CONNECTION_MEMORY from protocol.h.
- PipelineContextReceiver tracks queued_bytes (payload bytes received but
not yet released by the disk writer, i.e. queued or in the writer's
hand) under the existing mutex.
- receiver enqueue now blocks while the queue is full by count OR when
adding the file would push queued_bytes over the configured byte limit,
applying backpressure to the sender instead of failing the transfer.
- The disk writer releases the byte budget after each file is freed and
signals the not-full condition.
- The server sets the byte ceiling to
MAX_CONNECTION_MEMORY - 2*MAX_CHUNK_SIZE so that the queued payloads
plus the transient wire/decompression buffers of the one in-flight
chunk stay within the per-connection budget.
The single-threaded receive path is already bounded: it writes files to
disk before reading the next chunk, so its transient is at most one
chunk's wire + decompressed + copied payload (~3 * MAX_CHUNK_SIZE, below
the budget). Wire buffers remain charged exactly once by
receive_data_limited; this change does not double charge them.
Adds a deterministic unit test in test_multiprocessing.c proving that an
enqueue which would exceed the byte budget blocks until the writer
releases bytes.
- Fix transport_tcp.c: initialize server->ssl_ctx to NULL
(prevents SSL_CTX_free on garbage when server_create_tls fails)
- Fix test_transport_tcp.c: client_create now sets fd=-1, family=AF_UNSPEC
- Fix test_transport_tcp.c: server address family may be AF_INET or AF_INET6
- Fix test_file_sendfile.c: send_path=false protocol includes file_type prefix
- send_n_data: void* data → const void* data
- send_str: char* data → const char* data
- send_data: Data* data → const Data* data
- Remove duplicate typedef struct ssl_st SSL in protocol.h
- Add NULL check after malloc in directory_scanner_create
- Reformat all C/H files to match .clang-format (LLVM style)
- Fix 26 cppcheck const-correctness warnings (constParameterPointer,
constVariablePointer, constVariable)
- Update function declarations in headers to match const parameters
Implement rsync-style delta transfer using rolling checksums (Adler-32 +
xxHash32). When a file exists on both sides but has changed, only the
changed blocks are transmitted instead of the entire file.
- New status codes: STATUS_DELTA_SIGNATURE, STATUS_DELTA_DATA
- Protocol version bumped to 1.2.0
- Server generates block signature, client computes delta
- Auto-fallback to whole-file when delta >= 70% of file size
- Works with zstd compression on delta stream
- Configurable block size (default 8KB, --delta-block flag)
- 13 unit tests covering hashing, signature roundtrip, delta compute/apply,
file growth/shrink, and decision logic
- New STATUS_CHECK protocol status (value 6)
- Client sends path + size + mtime; server replies OK (skip) or NEXT (send)
- config.h/c: use_incremental field sent/received over wire
- file.c/h: file_send_single_calls_no_path helper for incremental path
- client_cli.c: --incremental flag
- client_send.c: per-file check before send in both single and chunk paths
- server.c: STATUS_CHECK handling in receive_files()
- multiprocessing.c: STATUS_CHECK handling in receive_thread()
- test.py: incremental sync test case
Feature changes across 15 files:
- -a/--archive: enables -c -m -M (no -s, which slows transfers)
- -n/--dry-run: scan + print without connecting or transferring
- -p <port>: custom SSH port (passed as -p to ssh via execvp)
- --exclude <pattern>: glob-based filename filtering in scanner
- --delete: sender collects file manifest; receiver deletes unlisted files
Protocol: added STATUS_MANIFEST, use_delete field in Config wire format.
New utilities: glob_match(), delete_extras() with recursive directory walk.
Scanner: accepts exclude patterns; skips matching entries.
SSH transport: switched from execlp to execvp for dynamic port arg.
Server + multiprocessing: handle STATUS_MANIFEST in both single and
multithreaded receive paths.
Builds clean, all 7 tests pass.
- Merge io.h/c back into protocol.h/c
- Change send_data to take Data* argument
- Remove redundant file_load_data from send_chunk
- Move compression into file_send_single_calls
- Move file_receive from multiprocessing.c to file.c
