| Summary | 0001939: code cleanup required | ||||
| Description | The WLAN plugin needs a code review; the sub-directory wlan/ should be removed, headers inlined and especially the SUID processes deserve a good review. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

| Open issues: 1) 'struct ieee80211_frame' is defined *differently* in different c files 2) not everything in 'gnunet-transport-wlan-helper.c' is documented, 3) IPC Message structs are not nicely defined (lots of headers+ptr-arithmetic, 'struct Radiotap_rx' and 'struct Radiotap_Send' should likely be embedded in some larger structs). Protocol between helper and plugin should be documented! 4) some fields in 'struct Radiotap_rx' are never set; virtually all are never used (!) 5) 'struct ieee80211_radiotap_header' and 'struct ieee80211_frame' are confusing (names are not great, can we simplify?); naming conventions are not followed here either. 6) unnamed constants (i.e. '31' -- is that the same as 'RADIOTAP_EXT' or is it a different 31)? 7) use of 'int' vs. 'unsigned int' types does not seem to be consistent 8) Overall, gnunet-transport-wlan-helper.c is not ready for audit yet | |
| (1) is fixed in SVN 20495. Also, (3) is now fixed in one direction. | |
| (3) is fixed in SVN 20574. | |
| As of 20581, I consider the WLAN helper to be clean code. More testing might be good, though... | |
