Additionally to renaming, it changes the function definition so that
it accepts a pointer to pointer instead of returning a pointer to the
new object.
It is mostly done to make it in line with other functions in the
module.
This change prepares ground for sending DNS requests using DoT,
which, in particular, will be used for forwarding dynamic updates
to TLS-enabled primaries.
Previously:
* applications were using isc_app as the base unit for running the
application and signal handling.
* networking was handled in the netmgr layer, which would start a
number of threads, each with a uv_loop event loop.
* task/event handling was done in the isc_task unit, which used
netmgr event loops to run the isc_event calls.
In this refactoring:
* the network manager now uses isc_loop instead of maintaining its
own worker threads and event loops.
* the taskmgr that manages isc_task instances now also uses isc_loopmgr,
and every isc_task runs on a specific isc_loop bound to the specific
thread.
* applications have been updated as necessary to use the new API.
* new ISC_LOOP_TEST macros have been added to enable unit tests to
run isc_loop event loops. unit tests have been updated to use this
where 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/.
