fix: check the wiring four Create functions cannot work without - #791
Conversation
A NULL config, transport or sleep is reported at CRITICAL with CAT_BAD_CONFIG and falls back to the NullStream, rather than being accepted and crashing on the first connection attempt. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A NULL config, transport, sleep or RNG is reported at CRITICAL with CAT_BAD_CONFIG and falls back to the NullStream. mbedtls_ssl_conf_rng returns no status, so a NULL RNG previously surfaced as an unexplained handshake failure. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The TCP stream and the DNS resolver already fell back to the Null object on a NULL config or a NULL Sleep, but reported nothing. Both now report at CRITICAL with CAT_BAD_CONFIG. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The four public headers now say which fields are reported at Create. The OpenSSL and Mbed TLS pages lose the '#732' divergence; the Mbed TLS page keeps the narrower one that survives it, a missing trust chain reported as a refused handshake, which #753 settles.

WalkthroughThe change adds explicit configuration validation for LwIP, Mbed TLS, and OpenSSL creation paths. Each platform now reports specific missing-input errors. Invalid creation uses the documented null-object fallback. Tests and platform documentation cover the new behaviour. ChangesLwIP configuration validation

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to The PR makes invalid wiring fail safely with the Null object and an explicit report. A small documentation wording issue remains around naming the two lwIP Create APIs, but it has no runtime impact; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Review findings on #791: the lwIP requirements sentence gains the comma between its independent clauses, each field doc names its own SolidSyslog<Class>_Create rather than an abbreviated Create, and the repeated NullStream assertion becomes CHECK_NULL_STREAM in both TLS pool suites.

Purpose
Part of #732.
docs/tls.mdrequires aStreamgiven a configuration it cannotwork without to report a bad configuration and return the Null object. Four
Createfunctions did not: the two TLS adapters accepted anything anddereferenced the missing field on the first connection attempt, and the two lwIP
Raw classes detected the fault but returned the Null object silently.
Following the revised acceptance criteria on the issue:
Createvalidates thewiring,
Openvalidates the material. The withdrawnCaChaincriterion is notimplemented here.
No
Closeskeyword — this PR targetsfeature/tls-rework, so the issue isclosed by the final branch-to-
mainPR.Change Description
Each class gains a
<Class>_IsValidConfigin itsStatic.c, run before the poolacquire so a bad configuration never takes a slot. The chain reports the first
fault at
SOLIDSYSLOG_BAD_CONFIG_FATAL_SEVERITYwithSOLIDSYSLOG_CAT_BAD_CONFIGand a new per-class detail code, then returns theNull object. This is
StreamSender_IsValidConfigunchanged in shape.OpenSslStreamTransport,SleepNULL_CONFIG,NULL_TRANSPORT,NULL_SLEEPMbedTlsStreamTransport,Sleep,RngNULL_RNGLwipRawTcpStreamSleepNULL_CONFIG,NULL_SLEEPLwipRawDnsResolverSleepNULL_CONFIG,NULL_SLEEPCodes are appended before each enum's
_MAX, so existing values are unchangedand the two TLS enums stay in matching order.
Two points worth your eye:
Transportcriterion does not apply to the lwIP pair. Neither has aTransportfield —SolidSyslogLwipRawTcpStreamis the transport, and theDNS resolver's configuration holds only
Sleep. For those two the wholechange is that today's silent fallback now reports.
#732sectionclaimed the configuration is not checked at all, of which the trust chain half
survives this change:
mbedtls_ssl_conf_ca_chainreturns no status, so aconfiguration with no trust anchors still surfaces as a refused handshake. That
is now its own section pointing at Authorize a TLS peer by certificate fingerprint, as RFC 5425 §5.1 requires #753, which settles it. The OpenSSL page's
section goes entirely — an unloadable bundle already fails
Openwith areport.
Test Evidence
Fourteen tests added, each driven red before the production change — a NULL
config crashed both TLS adapters, a NULL
Transport/Sleep/Rngreturned apool slot, and each report assertion started as a missing enumerator.
Tests/SolidSyslogOpenSslStreamPoolTest.cpp— six: fallback and report forconfig,
Transport,SleepTests/MbedTls/SolidSyslogMbedTlsStreamPoolTest.cpp— eight: the same, plusRngTests/Lwip/SolidSyslogLwipRawTcpStreamTest.cpp,Tests/Lwip/SolidSyslogLwipRawDnsResolverTest.cpp— two each; the fallbacktests were already there
Two fixtures now wire what
Createrequires: the Mbed TLS pool fixture gainsSleepandRng, and the Mbed TLS stream fixture gainsRng.ctestgreen on both presets — 2/2 ondebug(gcc), 22/22 on the Mbed TLSconfiguration (freertos-host), including both integration lanes against the real
libraries.
clang-format --dry-run --Werrorover the tree clean,misra_renumber.pyproposes nothing (no suppression references any changedfile), markdownlint clean on the three changed pages.
Areas Affected
Platform/OpenSsl/,Platform/MbedTls/,Platform/LwipRaw/— theStatic.cof each class and its
*Errors.h. Four public headers gain doc-commentstatements of the new behaviour; no signature or struct layout changes, so this
is additive for an integrator whose configuration was already complete. One
whose configuration was not now gets the Null object and a
CRITICALreportwhere a crash or a puzzling handshake failure used to be.
