[WIP][NET] Add NATPMP support.

annanay25 commented at 8:15 pm on January 28, 2018: none

Adds minimal support for NATPMP (and removes dependency on external UPnP library). Reference implementation in miniupnp/libnatpmp.

WIP but aims to fix #11902 .

Add basic NATPMP support, get gateway by file parsing, getpublicaddress, map public-private port 529f3931dd

Add license info on some files d4d3c05bb2

I assume libnatpmp should be subtree’d or we should still use the version linked-against in miniupnpc?

This PR just copies 6 files from libnatpmp into the repository. Perhaps this is a sufficiently low amount of code that we want to do this (like with tinyformat), but if so, putting them in a subdirectory together may be better.

I haven’t checked how much changes were necessary to them, but if it was 0, perhaps we can subtree but still build them directly from our build system (as opposed to building as a library and linking statically).

There are minor changes to the copied files, some including changing the WIN32 macro, and others according to the coding guidelines like changing NULL to nullptr, etc.

libnatpmp seems to have been virtually unmaintained a while (last commit was Mar 15, 2016), so I think it doesn’t matter whether we use ‘subtree’. It might be easier to just include the (small) implementation files into our build system and see if we can maintain it ourselves, cutting out parts we don’t need.

At least now we don’t have to carry the .javas.

putting them in a subdirectory together may be better.

I agree with that - whatever you do, please don’t put them in src/ root.

This is failing the travis build - did you perhaps forget to add natpmp.h to the makefile, so that it’s not included in make dist?

@laanwj ;

I’m a little confused with the name mangling happening here. The src/natpmp/*.c files have extern "C" in the function prototypes, which confirms no name mangling (confirmed this with nm src/natpmp/libbitcoin_server_a-natpmp.o | grep initnatpmp), but C++ object files are looking for mangled function names?

You need the extern “C” in the header, not in the implementation files.

Libraries should not be copied or subtree’d. There’s arguably an excuse for consensus-critical libraries, but NATPMP is not that. Link to the system library if present, and if not, just don’t build support for it.
