Webdis changes to Jansson

Webdis imports Jansson by including its source code under src/jansson. This document lists the changes made to Jansson files, mostly made to accommodate the requirements of the Webdis build process.

Webdis currently imports Jansson version 2.14.

Includes and compiler builtins

Added checks for various headers and compiler builtins. For example, endian.h is not available on macOS, although machine/endian.h is.

Unused code

Marked buf_to_uint32 as unused.

Unused source files

To validate that all the C files imported are used in the build, we can compare the list of files in the Jansson source directory with the object files listed in the Webdis Makefile.

The following diff command should not show any output:

diff -u <(grep ^JANSSON_OBJ Makefile | head -1 | cut -f 2- -d = | tr ' ' '\n' | sed -Ee 's/\.o$/.c/g' | sort)\
    <(find src/jansson/src -name '*.c' | sort)

Unused build files

Autotool build files can be removed, namely:

• configure.ac
• jansson.pc.in
• Makefile.am (2 copies)
• jansson_config.h.in

Disabled warning

A #pragma is used in src/jansson/src/load.c to disable overly strict warnings about string truncation. No overflow is possible, GCC is only warning about the possibility of a string being truncated if it doesn't fit in the destination buffer.
