All the applications built on top of the loop manager were required to
create just a single instance of the loop manager. Refactor the loop
manager to not expose this instance to the callers and keep the loop
manager object internal to the isc_loop compilation unit.
This significantly simplifies a number of data structures and calls to
the isc_loop API.
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.
isc_loop() can now take its place.
This also requires changes to the test harness - instead of running the
setup and teardown outside of th main loop, we now schedule the setup
and teardown to run on the loop (via isc_loop_setup() and
isc_loop_teardown()) - this is needed because the new the isc_loop()
call has to be run on the active event loop, but previously the
isc_loop_current() (and the variants like isc_loop_main()) would work
even outside of the loop because it needed just isc_tid() to work, but
not the full loop (which was mainly true for the main thread).
if we had a method to get the running loop, similar to how
isc_tid() gets the current thread ID, we can simplify loop
and loopmgr initialization.
remove most uses of isc_loop_current() in favor of isc_loop().
in some places where that was the only reason to pass loopmgr,
remove loopmgr from the function parameters.
The resolution of the uv_hrtime() function is bigger than the
intervals used in the timers, which can result in an unexpected
difference between the start_time and stop_time variables.
Use isc_loop_now(), which is based on uv_now() and has the same
milliseconds resolution as the functions in the uv_timer_t API.
Also fix a couple wrong numbers in the comments.
The isc_time_now() and isc_time_now_hires() were used inconsistently
through the code - either with status check, or without status check,
or via TIME_NOW() macro with RUNTIME_CHECK() on failure.
Refactor the isc_time_now() and isc_time_now_hires() to always fail when
getting current time has failed, and return the isc_time_t value as
return value instead of passing the pointer to result in the argument.
Instead of marking the unused entities with UNUSED(x) macro in the
function body, use a `ISC_ATTR_UNUSED` attribute macro that expans to
C23 [[maybe_unused]] or __attribute__((__unused__)) as fallback.
The various factors like NS_PER_MS are now defined in a single place
and the names are no longer inconsistent. I chose the _PER_SEC names
rather than _PER_S because it is slightly more clear in isolation;
but the smaller units are always NS, US, and MS.
* isc_timer was rewritten using the uv_timer, and isc_timermgr_t was
completely removed; isc_timer objects are now directly created on the
isc_loop event loops.
* the isc_timer API has been simplified. the "inactive" timer type has
been removed; timers are now stopped by calling isc_timer_stop()
instead of resetting to inactive.
* isc_manager now creates a loop manager rather than a timer manager.
* modules and applications using isc_timer have been updated to use the
new API.
Instead of returning error values from isc_rwlock_*(), isc_mutex_*(),
and isc_condition_*() macros/functions and subsequently carrying out
runtime assertion checks on the return values in the calling code,
trigger assertion failures directly in those macros/functions whenever
any pthread function returns an error, as there is no point in
continuing execution in such a case anyway.
The unit tests are now using a common base, which means that
lib/dns/tests/ code now has to include lib/isc/include/isc/test.h and
link with lib/isc/test.c and lib/ns/tests has to include both libisc and
libdns parts.
Instead of cross-linking code between the directories, move the
/lib/<foo>/test.c to /tests/<foo>.c and /lib/<foo>/include/<foo>test.h
to /tests/include/tests/<foo>.h and create a single libtest.la
convenience library in /tests/.
At the same time, move the /lib/<foo>/tests/ to /tests/<foo>/ (but keep
it symlinked to the old location) and adjust paths accordingly. In few
places, we are now using absolute paths instead of relative paths,
because the directory level has changed. By moving the directories
under the /tests/ directory, the test-related code is kept in a single
place and we can avoid referencing files between libns->libdns->libisc
which is unhealthy because they live in a separate Makefile-space.
In the future, the /bin/tests/ should be merged to /tests/ and symlink
kept, and the /fuzz/ directory moved to /tests/fuzz/.
