All databases in the codebase follow the same structure: a database is
an associative container from DNS names to nodes, and each node is an
associative container from RR types to RR data.
Each database implementation (qpzone, qpcache, sdlz, builtin, dyndb) has
its own corresponding node type (qpznode, qpcnode, etc). However, some
code needs to work with nodes generically regardless of their specific
type - for example, to acquire locks, manage references, or
register/unregister slabs from the heap.
Currently, these generic node operations are implemented as methods in
the database vtable, which creates problematic coupling between database
and node lifetimes. If a node outlives its parent database, the node
destructor will destroy all RR data, and each RR data destructor will
try to unregister from heaps by calling a virtual function from the
database vtable. Since the database was already freed, this causes a
crash.
This commit breaks the coupling by standardizing the layout of all
database nodes, adding a dedicated vtable for node operations, and
moving node-specific methods from the database vtable to the node
vtable.
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.
Remove the dynamic registration of result codes. Convert isc_result_t
from unsigned + #defines into 32-bit enum type in grand unified
<isc/result.h> header. Keep the existing values of the result codes
even at the expense of the description and identifier tables being
unnecessary large.
Additionally, add couple of:
switch (result) {
[...]
default:
break;
}
statements where compiler now complains about missing enum values in the
switch statement.
maintenance. The new "managed-keys" statement can
be used in place of "trusted-keys" for zones which
support this protocol. (Note: this syntax is
expected to change prior to 9.7.0 final.) [RT #19248]
