When parsing responses to the
NAMES
command, (changes to) users are only everset
on thechannel.users
Map. This causes thechannel.users
list to perpetually keep growing as new users join, but never remove entries from users that have since left.onPart()
does remove entries, which works most of the time, but it seems these can be missed, most likely due to netsplits.This fix keeps a separate Map (
tmpUsers
) where usernames + modes are stored as they come in throughonReplyName()
. InonReplyNameEnd()
the old userlist is cleared, the new entries are copied over (so only the users in the NAMES response remain), and the tmpUsers Map is cleared so it can be used for the nextNAMES
block.Found this while debugging why the Matrix side of many bridged rooms has many more IRC users than the IRC side.
