- Install lcov in coverage job (not in fastsync-ci:v7)
- Use lcov 2.x compatible flags (--branch-coverage instead of --rc)
- Remove unused xxhash exclude pattern that lcov 2.x rejects
- Install valgrind in valgrind job
- Skip fork-based file tests under valgrind (pipe timing issues)
- Add FASTSYNC_UNDER_VALGRIND env var for test skip detection
- Move cleanup before assertions in fork tests to prevent leaks
- Add coverage.info to .gitignore
- Remove unused ConsumerCtx struct in test_stress.c
- Add const qualifiers to variables only checked for NULL
in test_metadata.c, test_protocol.c, test_robustness.c
- 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
- Fix rolling adler32: add missing -1 in s2 update formula (was producing
wrong checksums, causing zero block matches)
- Fix file_send_sendfile signature to match typedef (add unused
compression_level param)
- Extract receive_delta_file() from receive_incremental_check() to reduce
nesting depth
- Extract send_file_incremental() helper in client_send.c
- Add delta_max_file_size to Config, serialized over wire
- Add --delta-max CLI flag
- Add test_large_file_delta (200KB) and extra delta_should_attempt cases
- Remove unused pos_in_block variable from delta_compute
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
- Add session-scoped shared_server fixture to avoid 27+ server start/stop cycles
- Refactor test_tcp.py and test_features.py to use shared server
- Suppress server health-check probe stderr noise in common.py
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.
- Reduced test data from 50MB to 25MB (test.py)
- Increased SSH socketpair buffer to 1MB via setsockopt (transport_ssh.c)
- Made chunk size configurable: new Config field, --chunk-size CLI flag,
sent over wire, and used in scanner instead of DESIRED_CHUNK_SIZE
- Fixed DESIRED_CHUNK_SIZE macro parentheses (chunk.h)
- Replace send()/recv() with read()/write() + io_set_fds() for fd abstraction
- Add client_connect_ssh() via socketpair + fork/exec; reap child in client_disconnect()
- Add server --stdio flag for SSH invocation
- Replace handle_arg() with rsync-style positional args (fastsync <src> <dest>)
- Add SSH vs TCP auto-detection via is_remote_dest()
- Add TransportType and ssh_destination to Config, fix uninitialized fields in
config_receive() (pre-existing multithreaded crash)
- Sender threads now wait for server STATUS_OK before disconnecting
- Add --help, error handling for sendfile+SSH combos
- Add pre-flight checks and Posix Args test case to test.py
- Add test_config_ssh_dest() unit test
Conflicts resolved:
- config_create signature: added both use_metadata and use_sendfile params
- config_send/config_receive: wire protocol includes both use_metadata and use_sendfile
- client.c: config_create call updated, arg parsing includes both -M/--preserve and -f/--sendfile
- test_config.c: all three config_create calls updated
- file_send_sendfile: use file->data->size instead of removed struct stat
- Remove FileReceive struct; use File everywhere with nullable FileMetadata*
- Remove struct stat from File; file size lives in Data->size (data_create_reserve)
- Add FileMetadata struct (mode, uid, gid, mtime) sent conditionally over wire
- Add -M / --preserve flag to client
- Restore permissions, ownership, timestamps on disk write
- Wire format uses per-file present flag for metadata (zero overhead when off)
