IPv6 transport-ready resolvers/DNS servers. need careful configuration
when enable it. (default config is not affected).
see manpage for details.
XXX visible symbol __res_opt() is added, however, it is not supposed to be
called from outside, libc minor is not bumped.
If an argument of a ctype function is outside "unsigned char"
and if it is not EOF, the behavior is undefined.
The isascii(3) is the sole exception of above and it was used to
be used to check a value was valid for other ctype functions in
ancient systems. On modern systems, the ctype functions take
all values of "unsigned char", and this check is obsolete and
even wrong for non-ASCII systems. However, we leave the isascii()
untouched for now, so as not to change the current behavior.
- add notreached comment
- remove unused variables
- cast to void * first to avoid casting warnings
- fix bug in _yphostent where cur and sentinel were not
being initialized.
getaddrinfo(3) now calls lower-layer resolver functions directly.
XXX code duplicate with gethnamaddr.c/res_search.c - future code
maintenance issue? Since BIND[89] does not address this issue either at
this moment, switching to BIND[89] does not help.
draft-ietf-ipngwg-scopedaddr-format-00.txt (will be 01),
use "address%interface" notation for extended scoped IPv6 address.
NOTE: the change affects link-local addresses only. I hope it to be
the final change on it.....
is changed, based on discussion in ipngwg scoped address cabal.
past code: fe80::1@de0
now: de0%fe80::1
this will be in sync with next extended address format proposal
(which should be final - I don't want to make this kind of change again).
the behavior was introduced in 1.8 -> 1.9, by itojun, and it was
not a correct behavior.
even if we may be able to connect to the the returned addresses,
filtering them out is not a correct thing to do. for example, even if
you have partial unreachablility in IPv4, gethostbyname(3) will return
IPv4 addresses in the unreachable network nonetheless.
getaddrinfo(3): result from gethostby* will be broken if we call it again.
deep-copy them. we have sa_len so configure them.
getnameinfo(3): we have sa_len so configure them.
getnameinfo(3) globs ai_socktype and ai_protocol correctly.
KAME scopeid extension is implemented.
(draft-ietf-ipngwg-scopedaddr-format-00.txt)
bump up shlib minor
(may not be necessary, but rather big difference in behavior - especially
ai_flags)
descriptors against -1 (as appropriate).
* add actual checks which to detect stuff that would trigger_DIAGASSERT(),
and attempt to return a sane error condition.
* knf some code
* remove some `register' decls.
the first two items result in the addition of code similar to the
following in various functions:
_DIAGASSERT(path != NULL)
#ifdef _DIAGNOSTIC
if (path == NULL) {
errno = EFAULT;
return (-1);
}
#endif
i.e. do not make query for IPv6 addresses, when running on non-IPv6 kernel,
or, do not query for IPv4 address on IPv6-only kernel :-)
This kind of behavior is not very well documented in RFC2553. This
may violate the spec.
- on EAI_AGAIN, only retry 3 times (3 is a magic number). Previous code
made retries forever. This solves situation where name server is wrongly
configured and nameserver:53 returns icmp port unreach.
The only proper fix for all getaddrinfo() related twists would be to
implement getipnodebyname() and get rid of wacky get_addr().
We need to contribute bind8 development for this.
/etc/nsswitch.conf.
This was because of two reasons:
- /etc/hosts lookup code damaged some of internal
state used by gethostbyname2().
- getaddrinfo() was not persistent enough against errors.
Sorry for the delay, and hope this fix all the following PRs
(I checked in my environment immitating those PRs and it worked for me)
PR: 7901, 7912, 7921
argument names to the function. e.g, if `const char *servname' is an argument
name, keep using "servname invalid [...]" instead of "Servname invalid [...]"
get{addr,name} info are implemented to have as little impact to existing
resolver code as possible, so they are NOT the optimal implementation.
They are at this moment not very thread safe (as they call
gethostby{name,addr}).
(shlib minor version)++, as new interfaces are added.
TODO: getipnodeby{name,addr} - which needs total reimplementation of
gethostby{name,addr}.
upgrade rcmd.c for multiple af support (needed for IPv6-ready rsh/rlogin)
