This commits removes superfluous checks when using the isc_refcount API.
Examples of superfluous checks:
1. The isc_refcount_decrement function ensures there was not underflow,
so this check is superfluous:
INSIST(isc_refcount_decrement(&r) > 0);
2 .The isc_refcount_destroy() includes check whether the counter
is zero, therefore this is superfluous:
INSIST(isc_refcount_decrement(&r) == 1 && isc_refcount_destroy(&r));
Previously the libisc allocator had ability to run unlocked when threading was
disabled. As the threading is now always on, remove the ISC_MEMFLAG_NOLOCK
memory flag as it serves no purpose.
The isc_mem_createx() function was only used in the tests to eliminate using the
default flags (which as of writing this commit message was ISC_MEMFLAG_INTERNAL
and ISC_MEMFLAG_FILL). This commit removes the isc_mem_createx() function from
the public API.
Previously, the isc_mem_create() and isc_mem_createx() functions took `max_size`
and `target_size` as first two arguments. Those values were never used in the
BIND 9 code. The refactoring removes those arguments and let BIND 9 always use
the default values.
Previously, the isc_mem_create() and isc_mem_createx() functions could have
failed because of failed memory allocation. As this was no longer true and the
functions have always returned ISC_R_SUCCESS, the have been refactored to return
void.
- removed some dead code
- dns_zone_setdbtype is now void as it could no longer return
anything but ISC_R_SUCCESS; calls to it no longer check for a result
- controlkeylist_fromconfig() is also now void
- fixed a whitespace error
The json-c have previously leaked into the global namespace leading
to forced -I<include_path> for every compilation unit using isc/xml.h
header. This MR fixes the usage making the caller object opaque.
The libxml2 have previously leaked into the global namespace leading
to forced -I<include_path> for every compilation unit using isc/xml.h
header. This MR fixes the usage making the caller object opaque.
- this enables memory to be allocated and freed in dyndb modules
when named is linked statically. when we standardize on libtool,
this should become unnecessary.
- also, simplified the isc_mem_create/createx API by removing
extra compatibility functions
This properly orders clearing the freed pointer and calling isc_refcount_destroy
as early as possible to have ability to put proper memory barrier when cleaning
up reference counting.
4768. [func] By default, memory is no longer filled with tag values
when it is allocated or freed; this improves
performance but makes debugging of certain memory
issues more difficult. "named -M fill" turns memory
filling back on. (Building "configure
--enable-developer", turns memory fill on by
default again; it can then be disabled with
"named -M nofill".) [RT #45123]
