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.
previously, dns_name_fromtext() took both a target name and an
optional target buffer parameter, which could override the name's
dedicated buffer. this interface is unnecessarily complex.
we now have two functions, dns_name_fromtext() to convert text
into a dns_name that has a dedicated buffer, and dns_name_wirefromtext()
to convert text into uncompressed DNS wire format and append it to a
target buffer.
in cases where it really is necessary to have both, we can use
dns_name_fromtext() to load the dns_name, then dns_name_towire()
to append the wire format to the target buffer.
this parameter was added as a (minor) optimization for
cases where dns_name_towire() is run repeatedly with the
same compression context, as when rendering all of the rdatas
in an rdataset. it is currently only used in one place.
we now simplify the interface by removing the extra parameter.
the compression offset value is now part of the compression
context, and can be activated when needed by calling
dns_compress_setmultiuse(). multiuse mode is automatically
deactivated by any subsequent call to dns_compress_permitted().
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 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.
The `render` benchmark loads some binary DNS message dumps and
repeatedly passes them to `dns_message_render`.
The `compress` benchmark loads a list of domain names and packs them
into 4KiB chunks using `dns_name_towire`.
