Christian and I both unwittingly used it in form:
*tal_arr_expand(&x) = tal(x, ...)
Since '=' isn't a sequence point, the compiler can (and does!) cache
the value of x, handing it to tal *after* tal_arr_expand() moves it
due to tal_resize().
The new version is somewhat less convenient to use, but doesn't have
this problem, since the assignment is always evaluated after the
resize.

This used to be request-specific, but we now want to send
notifications and requests. As a drive-by we also clarify the
ownership of the json_stream instance that is being sent.

Usually, this means they return 'command_param_failed()' if param()
fails, and changing 'command_success(); return;' to 'return
command_success()'.
Occasionally, it's more complex: there's a command_its_complicated()
for the case where we can't exactly determine what the status is,
but it should be considered a last resort.

These are only supposed to be used when you want the token contents including
surrounding "". We should use this when reporting errors, but usually
we just want to access the tok members directly.

It might be useful to take special precautions inside a plugin when
being run as a plugin (and not as a standalone executable). This env
var is just set so plugins can differentiate correctly. I don't unset
the variable since it shouldn't have any effect on `lightningd`
itself.

The transparent passthrough that was recently introduced would end up
causing phantom quotes to appear around IDs when one of them was a
string. This happened for example when using `lightning-cli`, the code
would copy the quotes from the original request, insert our u64 ID,
and then re-add them on the way back as well.

json_escaped.[ch], param.[ch] and jsonrpc_errors.h move from lightningd/
to common/. Tests moved too.
We add a new 'common/json_tok.[ch]' for the common parameter parsing
routines which a plugin might want, taking them out of
lightningd/json.c (which now only contains the lightningd-specific
ones).
The rest is mainly fixing up includes.

We simply look for the id token, and substitute it on the way in/out.
We also need to make sure output is '\n\n' terminated.
I started this because we weren't forwarding complex errors properly
(we treated them as a string), but it's also a huge simplification.
`struct plugin_rpc_request` is eliminated entirely: the information we need
is actually inside `struct command` already.

This (will) avoid the plugin having to walk back from the params object
as it currently does.
No code changes; I removed UNUSED and UNNEEDED labels from the other
parameters though (as *every* json_rpc callback needs to call param()
these days, they're *always* used).

Now we've updated ccan/pipecmd, we can use pipecmd_preserve to
preserve stderr for plugins so we see their error spew.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Note that this changes the order of arguments to pipecmd to match the
documentation, so we fix all the callers!
Also make configure re-run when configurator changes.

This currently just invokes GDB, but we could generalize it (though
pdb doesn't allow attaching to a running process, other python
debuggers seem to).

This tells the plugin both the `lightning-dir` as well as the
`rpc-filename` to use to talk to `lightningd`. Prior to this they'd
had to guess.

This used to be a use-after-free bug in which we'd free the plugin and
then still have two connections that expect to be able to operate on
the plugin. This now signals the connections to exit and cleans up
once they do.

We can use the internal buffering of the json_stream instead of
manually building JSON-RPC calls. This makes it a lot easier to handle
these requests.
Notice that we do not flush concurrently and still buffer all the
things, but it avoids double-buffering things.

If the plugin fails to respond to we may end up hanging indefinitely,
so we limit the time we're willing to wait to 10 seconds.

I had this really contorted way of iterating over options that could
cause valgrind to choke. This is the much more intuitive way to
iterate.

The final step in the JSON-RPC passthrough: map the result we got from
the plugin back to the original request we got from the client.

This is the final step to get the plugins working. After parsing the
early options (including `--plugin`), then starting and asking the
plugins for options, and finally reading in the options we just
registered, we just need to assemble the options and send them over.
Signed-off-by: Christian Decker <@cdecker>
We also make `--help` a non-early arg so it allows for the plugins to
register their options before printing the help message. The options
themselves are stored in a separate struct inbetween them being
registered and them being forwarded to the plugin. Currently only
supports string options.
Signed-off-by: Christian Decker <@cdecker>
Also includes some sanity checks for the results returned by the
plugin, such as ensuring that the ID is as expected and that we have
either an error or a real result.
