Server Compile Settings

Server Compile Settings

Configuring Basics

Most of the compile time settings can be changed by editing the settings.h file (located at 'include/settings.h'). The actual settings are represented as #define statements like the following:

#define DEBUG

Some settings are toggle-able so you can toggle them by uncommenting them/commenting them out like so:

Toggle Off:

//#define DEBUG

Toggle On:

#define DEBUG

Now that the basics are out of the way lets look at the actual settings.

Configuration Settings

NOTE: By default SSC is configured to work well, changing these settings will change SSC. It is recommended to backup the settings.h file before changing anything.

DEBUG

//#define DEBUG

Uncommenting this will result in ALOT of debug information being printed to the log/stdout, useful for developing but unneccessary for actual builds. By default it is commented out.

SSCS_CUSTOM_MALLOC

#define SSCS_CUSTOM_MALLOC

#ifdef SSCS_CUSTOM_MALLOC
  #include "protected_malloc.h"
#else
  #define cmalloc(size) calloc(1,size) 
  #define cfree(ptr) free(ptr) 
  #define cmalloc_init() puts("") 
#endif

Toggle-able setting. If defined, heap allocation is secure against possible 0-day vulnerabilites in SSC. Downside is ~4-7KB overhead per allocation.

SSCS_CLIENT_FORK

//#define SSCS_CLIENT_FORK

Toggle-able setting. If defined -> SSC forks for every client. Better Security, worse performance. If not defined, SSC will spawn a thread for each client, resulting in less memory overhead.
