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/.
