Apparently when Win runs in a VM, the random number generation functions
(e.g. CryptGenRandom()) don't work.
We weren't checking for this, resulting in a garbage (and guessable) password.
Also change function names to indicate that string is not just random,
but also hard to guess.
This makes the host CPID stable; if you repeatedly install BOINC
on a particular node, it will get the same host CPID each time,
and your host table won't get lots of redundant entries.
A host can have multiple NICs;
we use the MAC address of the first Ethernet controller we find,
or the last NIC if there is none.
Of course, this will create problems if we get the same MAC address
for different hosts; in principle this shouldn't happen.
Remove the unused file hostinfo_network.h
I moved get_host_info() after parse_state_file() in the init,
since on Android we need to get the domain name from the state file
before calling get_host_info().
Hopefully this won't cause other problems.
Previously the client had (C++) code to
- check whether on AC or USB power
- get battery status and temperature
- check whether on wifi
These functions looked in various places under /sys.
Problem: the paths are system-dependent,
so whatever we do won't work on all devices.
The Android APIs for getting this info are in Java,
so we can't call them from the client.
Solution: have the GUI periodically get this info
and report it to the client via a GUI RPC.
The GUI must make this RPC periodically:
if the client doesn't get one within some period of time
(currently 30 sec) it suspends computing and network.
Also: if suspending jobs because of battery charge level
or temperature, leave them in memory.
- Don't compute if the battery is overheated
- Don't compute until the batter is 95% charged.
Then stop computing if it falls below 90%.
(On some devices, computing causes the batter to drain
even while it's recharging).
use strcat instead
- client: don't use get_mac_address() to create host CPIDs
(we have plenty of other info to make them unique)
- storage stuff

- inet_ntop() etc. exist only on Vista+
- the other functions are declared in winsock2.h.
This breaks the Manager build, since wxwidgets includes winsock.h.
So to hell with it.
- windows build: manager doesn't depend on client

- use "sockaddr_storage" to store network addresses
(which may be IPv4 or IPv6)
rather than assuming they fit in an int.
- the entries in gui_rpc_auth.cfg may now be IPv6 addresses
(a🅱️c:e:f:g format),
or domain names of hosts that support only IPv6
Note: GUI RPCs are still constrained to use IPv4,
but this should be easy to change if it's every needed
Also: replace deprecated gethostbyname() with getaddrinfo().

for showing how GPU instances are being reserved
- scheduler: add "sse3" plan class example
- web: add option (NO_TEAMS constant) for suppressing teams

which of those files to include
- Modified MAC address check to work on some non-Linux unixes.
(mac_address.cpp)
- Added suggested change to "already attached to project" checking.
(ProjectInfoPage.cpp)
- changed includes of standard c header files to their c++ equivalents
(i.e. replaced <stdio.h> with <cstdio>) for namespace protection.
- replaced "using namespace std;" with more explicit "using std::function" in
several files.
- Fixed bug in checking whether the os is OS/2 and added conditional OS_OS2
to the build environment. (boinc_platform.m4,configure.ac)
- Changed build environment to not use -nostandardlibs unless we are using
G++ and static linkage is specified. (configure.ac)
- Added makefiles and package building files for solaris CSW package manager.
- Fixed bug with attempting to find login name using logname. (configure.ac)
- Added ifdef HAVE_* protection around some include files commonly found in
sys.
- Added support for unified binary for x86_64/i686-pc-solaris.
(cs_platforms.cpp)
- generate_host_cpid() now uses MAC address on non-linux unix.
(hostinfo_network.cpp)
- Macro BOINC_SET_COMPILE_FLAGS now doesn't check gcc only flags on non-gcc
compilers. (boinc_set_compile_flags.m4)
- Library compiles no longer depend upon the library extension or require
the library to be prefixed with lib.
- More fixes for fcgi builds.
- Added declaration of "struct ether_addr" and ether_ntoa(). Have not yet
implemented ether_ntoa() for machines that don't have it, or where it is
buggy. (unix_util.h)
- Added FCGI::perror() which calls FCGI_perror(). (boinc_fcgi.{h,cpp})
- Fixed library Makefiles so that all required headers get installed.

- client: make host CPID a function of:
MAC addresses + hostname + IP addr
This means that a given host will generally always get the same CPID.
Helpful e.g. on grids where the client gets installed repeatedly.
