* vfs/direntry.c (vfs_s_getlocalcopy): There's an aditional strdup needed. In rare cases a pointer was freed twice. Pavel Machek pointed this out a while ago but obviously it hasn't been fixed, yet. * vfs/sfs.c (vfmake): Quote characters with a special meaning to the shell in filenames/-pathes (Fix Bug #1931, VFS will not work if your full path has the space character in it.).
Hi!
I'm midnight commander's vfs layer. Before you start hacking me,
please read this file. I'm integral part of midnight commander, but I
try to go out and live my life myself as a shared library, too. That
means that I should try to use as little functions from midnight as
possible (so I'm tiny, nice and people like me), that I should not
pollute name space by unnecessary symbols (so I do not crash fellow
programs) and that I should have a clean interface between myself and
midnight.
Because I'm rather close to midnight, try to:
* Keep updating ChangeLog file.
* Keep the indentation as the rest of the code. Following could help
you with your friend emacs:
(defun mc-c-mode ()
"C mode with adjusted defaults for use with the Midnight commander."
(interactive)
(c-mode)
(c-set-style "K&R")
(setq c-indent-level 4
c-continued-statement-offset 4
c-brace-offset 0
c-argdecl-indent 4
c-label-offset -4
c-brace-imaginary-offset 0
c-continued-brace-offset 0
c-tab-always-indent nil
c-basic-offset 4
tab-width 8
comment-column 60))
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '(".*/mc/.*\\.[ch]$" . mc-c-mode)
auto-mode-alist))
And because I'm trying to live life on my own as libvfs.so, try to:
* Make sure all exported symbols are defined in vfs.h and begin with
'vfs_'.
* Do not make any references from midnight into modules like tar. It
would probably pollute name space and midnight would depend on concrete
configuration of libvfs. mc_setctl() and mc_ctl() are your
friends. (And mine too :-).

PS: If you'd like to use my features in whole operating system, you
might want to link me to rpc.nfsd. On
http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/podfuk/podfuk.html you'll find
how to do it.
PPS: I have a friend, shared library called avfs, which is LD_PRELOAD
capable. You can reach her at http://www.inf.bme.hu/~mszeredi/avfs.
