Destination for User Print Messages

You can send print messages to the user to various destinations depending on the type of your application. By default, on Unix the messages are sent to stdout using fprintf. If we are on MSWindows and have a windows applications then register a HTPrintCallback function. This is done with HTPrint_setCallback. It tells HTPrint to call a HTPrintCallback. If HTDEBUG is not defined then don't do any of the above.

typedef int HTPrintCallback(const char * fmt, va_list pArgs);
extern void HTPrint_setCallback(HTPrintCallback * pCall);
extern HTPrintCallback * HTPrint_getCallback(void);

extern int HTPrint(const char * fmt, ...);

Debug Message Control

This is the global flag for setting the WWWTRACE options. The verbose mode is no longer a simple boolean but a bit field so that it is possible to see parts of the output messages.

#if defined(NODEBUG) || defined(NDEBUG) || defined(_NDEBUG)
#undef HTDEBUG
#else
#ifndef HTDEBUG
#define HTDEBUG		1
#endif /* HTDEBUG */
#endif

C Preprocessor defines

Make sure that the following macros are defined

#ifndef __FILE__
#define __FILE__	""
#endif

#ifndef __LINE__
#define __LINE__	0L
#endif

Definition of the Global Trace Flag

The global trace flag variable is available everywhere.

#ifdef HTDEBUG
#ifdef WWW_WIN_DLL
extern int *		WWW_TraceFlag;	 /* In DLLs, we need the indirection */
#define WWWTRACE	(*WWW_TraceFlag) 
#else
extern unsigned int	WWW_TraceFlag;	     /* Global flag for all W3 trace */
#define WWWTRACE	(WWW_TraceFlag)
#endif /* WWW_WIN_DLL */
#else
#define WWWTRACE	0
#endif /* HTDEBUG */

Select which Trace Messages to show

Libwww has a huge set of trace messages and it is therefor a good idea to be able to select which ones to see for any particular trace. An easy way to set this is using the funtion HTSetTraceMessageMask. The WWWTRACE define outputs messages if verbose mode is active according to the following rules:

typedef enum _HTTraceFlags {
    SHOW_UTIL_TRACE	= 0x1,
    SHOW_APP_TRACE	= 0x2,
    SHOW_CACHE_TRACE	= 0x4,
    SHOW_SGML_TRACE	= 0x8,
    SHOW_BIND_TRACE	= 0x10,
    SHOW_THREAD_TRACE	= 0x20,
    SHOW_STREAM_TRACE	= 0x40,
    SHOW_PROTOCOL_TRACE = 0x80,
    SHOW_MEM_TRACE	= 0x100,
    SHOW_URI_TRACE	= 0x200,
    SHOW_AUTH_TRACE	= 0x400,
    SHOW_ANCHOR_TRACE	= 0x800,
    SHOW_PICS_TRACE	= 0x1000,
    SHOW_CORE_TRACE	= 0x2000,
    SHOW_MUX_TRACE      = 0x4000,
    SHOW_SQL_TRACE      = 0x8000,
    SHOW_XML_TRACE      = 0x10000,
    SHOW_ALL_TRACE	= (int) 0xFFFFFFFF
} HTTraceFlags;

The flags are made so that they can serve as a group flag for correlated trace messages, e.g. showing messages for SGML and HTML at the same time.

#define UTIL_TRACE	(WWWTRACE & SHOW_UTIL_TRACE)
#define APP_TRACE	(WWWTRACE & SHOW_APP_TRACE)
#define CACHE_TRACE	(WWWTRACE & SHOW_CACHE_TRACE)
#define SGML_TRACE	(WWWTRACE & SHOW_SGML_TRACE)
#define BIND_TRACE	(WWWTRACE & SHOW_BIND_TRACE)
#define THD_TRACE	(WWWTRACE & SHOW_THREAD_TRACE)
#define STREAM_TRACE	(WWWTRACE & SHOW_STREAM_TRACE)
#define PROT_TRACE	(WWWTRACE & SHOW_PROTOCOL_TRACE)
#define MEM_TRACE	(WWWTRACE & SHOW_MEM_TRACE)
#define URI_TRACE	(WWWTRACE & SHOW_URI_TRACE)
#define AUTH_TRACE	(WWWTRACE & SHOW_AUTH_TRACE)
#define ANCH_TRACE	(WWWTRACE & SHOW_ANCHOR_TRACE)
#define PICS_TRACE	(WWWTRACE & SHOW_PICS_TRACE)
#define CORE_TRACE	(WWWTRACE & SHOW_CORE_TRACE)
#define MUX_TRACE	(WWWTRACE & SHOW_MUX_TRACE)
#define SQL_TRACE	(WWWTRACE & SHOW_SQL_TRACE)
#define XML_TRACE	(WWWTRACE & SHOW_XML_TRACE)
#define ALL_TRACE	(WWWTRACE & SHOW_ALL_TRACE)

Destination for Trace Messages

You can send trace messages to various destinations depending on the type of your application. By default, on Unix the messages are sent to stderr using fprintf. If we are on MSWindows and have a windows applications then register a HTTraceCallback function. This is done with HTTrace_setCallback. It tells HTTrace to call a HTTraceCallback. If HTDEBUG is not defined then don't do any of the above.

typedef int HTTraceCallback(const char * fmt, va_list pArgs);
extern void HTTrace_setCallback(HTTraceCallback * pCall);
extern HTTraceCallback * HTTrace_getCallback(void);

The HTTRACE macro uses "_" as parameter separater instead of ",". This enables us to use a single macro instead of a macro for each number of arguments which we consider a more elegant and flexible solution. The implication is, however, that we can't have variables that start or end with an "_" if they are to be used in a trace message.

#ifdef HTDEBUG
#undef _
#define _ ,
#define HTTRACE(TYPE, FMT) \
	do { if (TYPE) HTTrace(FMT); } while (0);
extern int HTTrace(const char * fmt, ...);
#else
#define HTTRACE(TYPE, FMT)		/* empty */
#endif /* HTDEBUG */

Data Trace Logging

A similar mechanism exists for logging data, except that is adds a data and length argument to the trace call. Again, you can register your own callbacks if need be.

typedef int HTTraceDataCallback(char * data, size_t len, char * fmt, va_list pArgs);
extern void HTTraceData_setCallback(HTTraceDataCallback * pCall);
extern HTTraceDataCallback * HTTraceData_getCallback(void);

Again we use the same macro expansion mechanism as for HTTrace

#ifdef HTDEBUG
#define HTTRACEDATA(DATA, LEN, FMT) HTTraceData((DATA), (LEN), FMT)
extern int HTTraceData(char * data, size_t len, char * fmt, ...);
#else
#define HTTRACEDATA(DATA, LEN, FMT)	/* empty */
#endif /* HTDEBUG */

Debug Breaks

Call this function and the program halts. We use the same macro expansion mechanism as for HTTrace

extern void HTDebugBreak(char * file, unsigned long line, const char * fmt, ...);

#ifdef HTDEBUG
#define HTDEBUGBREAK(FMT) HTDebugBreak(__FILE__, __LINE__, FMT)
#else
#define HTDEBUGBREAK(FMT)		/* empty */
#endif /* HTDEBUG */

Macros for Function Declarations

These function prefixes are used by scripts and other tools and helps figuring out which functions are exported and which are not. See also the libwww style guide.

#define PUBLIC			/* Accessible outside this module     */
#define PRIVATE static		/* Accessible only within this module */

Often used Interger Macros

Min and Max functions

#ifndef HTMIN 
#define HTMIN(a,b) ((a) <= (b) ? (a) : (b))
#define HTMAX(a,b) ((a) >= (b) ? (a) : (b))
#endif

Double abs function

#ifndef HTDABS
#define HTDABS(a) ((a) < 0.0 ? (-(a)) : (a))
#endif

#define HT_NO_HOST              -906    /* Can't locate host */

Upper- and Lowercase macros

The problem here is that toupper(x) is not defined officially unless isupper(x) is. These macros are CERTAINLY needed on #if defined(pyr) || define(mips) or BDSI platforms. For safefy, we make them mandatory.

#ifndef TOLOWER
#define TOLOWER(c) tolower((int) (c))
#define TOUPPER(c) toupper((int) (c))
#endif

Max and Min values for Integers and Floating Point

#ifdef FLT_EPSILON				    /* The ANSI C way define */
#define HT_EPSILON FLT_EPSILON
#else
#define HT_EPSILON 0.00000001
#endif

The local equivalents of CR and LF

We can check for these after net ascii text has been converted to the local representation. Similarly, we include them in strings to be sent as net ascii after translation.

#define LF   FROMASCII('\012')  /* ASCII line feed LOCAL EQUIVALENT */
#define CR   FROMASCII('\015')  /* Will be converted to ^M for transmission */

Library Dynamic Memory Magement

The Library has it's own dynamic memory API which is declared in memory management module.

#include "HTMemory.h"
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

#endif /* HT_UTILS.h */
