The warning "-Wcast-align=strict" seems useful and will be enabled
next. Fix places that currently cause the warning by using the
new macro NM_CAST_ALIGN(). This macro also nm_assert()s that the alignment
is correct.
Our convention is that a function that fails MUST set the GError output.
No need to check for that in nm_crypto_is_pkcs12_data(). Simplify the
error paths.
Also, in gnutls' _nm_crypto_verify_pkcs12(), don't call gnutls_pkcs12_deinit()
before gnutls_strerror(). It's unclear whether that couldn't set a
different error reason.
It has no actual dependency on the crypto library. All it does, is
to be careful about not leaking secrets in memory. We have code
for that in libnm-glib-aux already. Move.
The goal is to reduce the number of places where we use libnm-crypto,
because that has a large dependency. libnm-glib-aux is a very light
dependency instead.
libnm-core is also used by the daemon, thus currently dragging in
libnm-crypto there. But could we ever drop that dependency?
One use of the libnm-crypto is in functions like nm_utils_file_is_certificate()
in "nm-utils.h". These are part of the public API of libnm.
But this is not used by the daemon. Move it to "libnm-client-core"
to be closer to where it's actually used.
As we have unit tests in "libnm-core-impl/tests" that test this function,
those unit tests also would need to move to "libnm-client-impl".
Instead, add the actual implementation of these function to "libnm-crypto"
and test it there.
This patch moves forward declarations from public header "nm-utils.h" to
"nm-client.h". Arguably, "nm-client.h" is not a great name, but we don't
have a general purpose header in "libnm-client-public", so use this.
Note that libnm users can only include <NetworkManager.h> and including
individual files is not supported (and even prevented). Thus moving
the declarations won't break any users.
libnm-core currently has a dependency on crypto libraries (either
"gnutls", "nss" or "null"). We need this huge dependency for few cases.
Move the crypto code to a separate static library"src/libnm-crypto/libnm-crypto.la".
The reasoning is that it becomes clearer where we have this dependency,
to use it more consciously, and to be better see how it's used.
We clearly need the crypto functionality in libnm. But do we also need
it in the daemon? Could we ever link the daemon without crypto libraries?
The goal of splitting the crypto part out, to better understand the
crypto dependency.
