Instead of giving the memory context names with an explicit call to
isc_mem_setname(), add the name to isc_mem_create() call to have all the
memory contexts an unconditional name.
Instead of relying on unreliable order of execution of the library
constructors and destructors, move them to individual binaries. The
advantage is that the execution time and order will remain constant and
will not depend on the dynamic load dependency solver.
This requires more work, but that was mitigated by a simple requirement,
any executable using libisc and libdns, must include <isc/lib.h> and
<dns/lib.h> respectively (in this particular order). In turn, these two
headers must not be included from within any library as they contain
inlined functions marked with constructor/destructor attributes.
The new
isc_log_createandusechannel() function combines following calls:
isc_log_createchannel()
isc_log_usechannel()
calls into a single call that cannot fail and therefore can be used in
places where we know this cannot fail thus simplifying the error
handling.
Remove the complicated mechanism that could be (in theory) used by
external libraries to register new categories and modules with
statically defined lists in <isc/log.h>. This is similar to what we
have done for <isc/result.h> result codes. All the libraries are now
internal to BIND 9, so we don't need to provide a mechanism to register
extra categories and modules.
Add isc_logconfig_get() function to get the current logconfig and use
the getter to replace most of the little dancing around setting up
logging in the tools. Thus:
isc_log_create(mctx, &lctx, &logconfig);
isc_log_setcontext(lctx);
dns_log_setcontext(lctx);
...
...use lcfg...
...
isc_log_destroy();
is now only:
logconfig = isc_logconfig_get(lctx);
...use lcfg...
For thread-safety, isc_logconfig_get() should be surrounded by RCU read
lock, but since we never use isc_logconfig_get() in threaded context,
the only place where it is actually used (but not really needed) is
named_log_init().
This commit converts the license handling to adhere to the REUSE
specification. It specifically:
1. Adds used licnses to LICENSES/ directory
2. Add "isc" template for adding the copyright boilerplate
3. Changes all source files to include copyright and SPDX license
header, this includes all the C sources, documentation, zone files,
configuration files. There are notes in the doc/dev/copyrights file
on how to add correct headers to the new files.
4. Handle the rest that can't be modified via .reuse/dep5 file. The
binary (or otherwise unmodifiable) files could have license places
next to them in <foo>.license file, but this would lead to cluttered
repository and most of the files handled in the .reuse/dep5 file are
system test files.
Replace some "master/slave" terminology in the code with the preferred
"primary/secondary" keywords. This also changes user output such as
log messages, and fixes a typo ("seconary") in cfg_test.c.
There are still some references to "master" and "slave" for various
reasons:
- The old syntax can still be used as a synonym.
- The master syntax is kept when it refers to master files and formats.
- This commit replaces mainly keywords that are local. If "master" or
"slave" is used in for example a structure that is all over the
place, it is considered out of scope for the moment.
The ARM and the manpages have been converted into Sphinx documentation
format.
Sphinx uses reStructuredText as its markup language, and many of its
strengths come from the power and straightforwardness of
reStructuredText and its parsing and translating suite, the Docutils.
