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
On Windows, C11 localtime_r() and gmtime_r() functions are not
available. While localtime() and gmtime() functions are already thread
safe because they use Thread Local Storage, it's quite ugly to #ifdef
around every localtime_r() and gmtime_r() usage to make the usage also
thread-safe on POSIX platforms.
The commit adds wrappers around Windows localtime_s() and gmtime_s()
functions.
NOTE: The implementation of localtime_s and gmtime_s in Microsoft CRT
are incompatible with the C standard since it has reversed parameter
order and errno_t return type.
this corrects some style glitches such as:
```
long_function_call(arg, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, "str"
"ing");
```
...by adjusting the penalties for breaking strings and call
parameter lists.
The isc_buffer_allocate() function now cannot fail with ISC_R_MEMORY.
This commit removes all the checks on the return code using the semantic
patch from previous commit, as isc_buffer_allocate() now returns void.
The indentation for dumping the master zone was driven by two
global variables dns_master_indent and dns_master_indentstr. In
threaded mode, this becomes prone to data access races, so this commit
converts the global variables into a local per-context tuple that
consist of count and string.
Clean up the parts of configure.in responsible for handling libidn2
detection and adjust other pieces of the build system to match these
cleanups:
- use pkg-config when --with-libidn2 is used without an explicit path,
- look for idn2_to_ascii_lz() rather than idn2_to_ascii_8z() as the
former is used in BIND while the latter is not,
- do not look for idn2_to_unicode_8zlz() as it is present in all
libidn2 versions which have idn2_to_ascii_lz(),
- check whether the <idn2.h> header is usable,
- set LDFLAGS in the Makefile for dig so that, if specified, the
requested libidn2 path is used when linking with libidn2,
- override CPPFLAGS when looking for libidn2 components so that the
configure script does not produce warnings when libidn2 is not
installed system-wide,
- merge the AS_CASE() call into the AS_IF() call below it to simplify
code,
- indicate the default value of --with-libidn2 in "./configure --help"
output,
- use $with_libidn2 rather than $use_libidn2 to better match the name
of the configure script argument,
- stop differentiating between IDN "in" and "out" support, i.e. make
dig either support libidn2 or not; remove WITH_* Autoconf macros and
use a new one, HAVE_LIBIDN2, to determine whether libidn2 support
should be enabled.
