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.
dns_name_fromtext() stores the converted name in the 'name'
passed to it, and optionally also copies it in wire format to
a buffer 'target'. this makes the interface unnecessarily
complex, and could be simplified by having a different function
for each purpose. as a first step, remove uses of the target
buffer in calls to dns_name_fromtext() where it wasn't actually
needed.
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.
by default, QPDB is the database used by named and all tools and
unit tests. the old default of RBTDB can now be restored by using
"configure --with-zonedb=rbt --with-cachedb=rbt".
some tests have been fixed so they will work correctly with either
database.
CHANGES and release notes have been updated to reflect this change.
replace the string "rbt" throughout BIND with "qp" so that
qpdb databases will be used by default instead of rbtdb.
rbtdb databases can still be used by specifying "database rbt;"
in a zone statement.
Development versions of cmocka require the intmax_t and uintmax_t types
to be defined by the time the test code includes the <cmocka.h> header.
These types are defined in the <stdint.h> header, which is included by
the <inttypes.h> header, which in turn is already explicitly included by
some of the programs in the tests/ directory. Ensure all programs in
that directory that include the <cmocka.h> header also include the
<inttypes.h> header to future-proof the code while keeping the change
set minimal and the resulting code consistent. Also prevent explicitly
including the <stdint.h> header in those programs as it is included by
the <inttypes.h> header.
This implements node reference tracing that passes all the internal
layers from dns_db API (and friends) to increment_reference() and
decrement_reference().
It can be enabled by #defining DNS_DB_NODETRACE in <dns/trace.h> header.
The output then looks like this:
incr:node:check_address_records:rootns.c:409:0x7f67f5a55a40->references = 1

Clean up dns_rdatalist_tordataset() and dns_rdatalist_fromrdataset()
functions by making them return void, because they cannot fail.
Clean up other functions that subsequently cannot fail.
Affected unit tests load testdata from the srcdir. Previously, there
was a kludge that chdir()ed to the tests srcdir, but that get removed
during refactoring. Instead of introducing the kludge again, the paths
were fixed to be properly prefixed with TESTS_DIR as needed.
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/.
