It's sometimes helpful to get a quick idea of the call stack when
debugging. This change factors out the backtrace logging from named's
fatal error handler so that it's easy to use in other places too.
Previously, the unreachable code paths would have to be tagged with:
INSIST(0);
ISC_UNREACHABLE();
There was also older parts of the code that used comment annotation:
/* NOTREACHED */
Unify the handling of unreachable code paths to just use:
UNREACHABLE();
The UNREACHABLE() macro now asserts when reached and also uses
__builtin_unreachable(); when such builtin is available in the compiler.
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.
The isc/platform.h header was left empty which things either already
moved to config.h or to appropriate headers. This is just the final
cleanup commit.
The Windows support has been completely removed from the source tree
and BIND 9 now no longer supports native compilation on Windows.
We might consider reviewing mingw-w64 port if contributed by external
party, but no development efforts will be put into making BIND 9 compile
and run on Windows again.
This commit adds support for generating backtraces on Windows and
refactors the isc_backtrace API to match the Linux/BSD API (without
the isc_ prefix)
* isc_backtrace_gettrace() was renamed to isc_backtrace(), the third
argument was removed and the return type was changed to int
* isc_backtrace_symbols() was added
* isc_backtrace_symbols_fd() was added and used as appropriate
The rewrite of BIND 9 build system is a large work and cannot be reasonable
split into separate merge requests. Addition of the automake has a positive
effect on the readability and maintainability of the build system as it is more
declarative, it allows conditional and we are able to drop all of the custom
make code that BIND 9 developed over the years to overcome the deficiencies of
autoconf + custom Makefile.in files.
This squashed commit contains following changes:
- conversion (or rather fresh rewrite) of all Makefile.in files to Makefile.am
by using automake
- the libtool is now properly integrated with automake (the way we used it
was rather hackish as the only official way how to use libtool is via
automake
- the dynamic module loading was rewritten from a custom patchwork to libtool's
libltdl (which includes the patchwork to support module loading on different
systems internally)
- conversion of the unit test executor from kyua to automake parallel driver
- conversion of the system test executor from custom make/shell to automake
parallel driver
- The GSSAPI has been refactored, the custom SPNEGO on the basis that
all major KRB5/GSSAPI (mit-krb5, heimdal and Windows) implementations
support SPNEGO mechanism.
- The various defunct tests from bin/tests have been removed:
bin/tests/optional and bin/tests/pkcs11
- The text files generated from the MD files have been removed, the
MarkDown has been designed to be readable by both humans and computers
- The xsl header is now generated by a simple sed command instead of
perl helper
- The <irs/platform.h> header has been removed
- cleanups of configure.ac script to make it more simpler, addition of multiple
macros (there's still work to be done though)
- the tarball can now be prepared with `make dist`
- the system tests are partially able to run in oot build
Here's a list of unfinished work that needs to be completed in subsequent merge
requests:
- `make distcheck` doesn't yet work (because of system tests oot run is not yet
finished)
- documentation is not yet built, there's a different merge request with docbook
to sphinx-build rst conversion that needs to be rebased and adapted on top of
the automake
- msvc build is non functional yet and we need to decide whether we will just
cross-compile bind9 using mingw-w64 or fix the msvc build
- contributed dlz modules are not included neither in the autoconf nor automake
The previous commit removed the code related to the internal symbol
table. On platforms where available, we can now use backtrace_symbols()
to print more verbose symbols table to the output.
As there's now general availability of backtrace() and
backtrace_symbols() functions (see below), the commit also removes the
usage of glibc internals and the custom stack tracing.
* backtrace(), backtrace_symbols(), and backtrace_symbols_fd() are
provided in glibc since version 2.1.
* backtrace(), backtrace_symbols(), and backtrace_symbols_fd() first
appeared in Mac OS X 10.5.
* The backtrace() library of functions first appeared in NetBSD 7.0 and
FreeBSD 10.0.
Mostly, several functions that take pointers as arguments, almost
always char * pointers, had those pointers qualified with "const".
Those that returned pointers to previously const-qualified arguments
had their return values qualified as const. Some structure members
were qualified as const to retain that attribute from the variables
from which they were assigned.
The macro DE_CONST was added to isc/util.h to deal with a handful of very
special places where something is qualified as const but really needs to have
its const qualifier removed.
Also cleaned up a few places where variable names clashed with reserved
identifiers. (Which mostly works fine, but strictly speaking is undefined
by the standard.)
Minor other ISC style cleanups.
Cleanup of redundant/useless header file inclusion.
ISC style lint, primarily for function declarations and standalone
comments -- ie, those that appear on a line without any code, which
should be written as follows:
/*
* This is a comment.
*/
