Until now, the build process for BIND on Windows involved upgrading the
solution file to the version of Visual Studio used on the build host.
Unfortunately, the executable used for that (devenv.exe) is not part of
Visual Studio Build Tools and thus there is no clean way to make that
executable part of a Windows Server container.
Luckily, the solution upgrade process boils down to just adding XML tags
to Visual Studio project files and modifying certain XML attributes - in
files which we pregenerate anyway using win32utils/Configure. Thus,
extend win32utils/Configure with three new command line parameters that
enable it to mimic what "devenv.exe bind9.sln /upgrade" does. This
makes the devenv.exe build step redundant and thus facilitates building
BIND in Windows Server containers.
Implement a helper function which, given an input string:
- copies it verbatim if it contains at least one path separator,
- prepends the named plugin installation directory to it otherwise.
This function will allow configuration parsing code to conveniently
determine the full path to a plugin module given either a path or a
filename.
While other, simpler ways exist for making sure filenames passed to
dlopen() cause the latter to look for shared objects in a specific
directory, they are very platform-specific. Using full paths is thus
likely the most portable and reliable solution.
Also added unit tests for ns_plugin_expandpath() to ensure it behaves
as expected for absolute paths, relative paths, and filenames, for
various target buffer sizes.
(Note: plugins share a directory with named on Windows; there is no
default plugin path. Therefore the source path is copied to the
destination path with no modification.)
- "hook" is now used only for hook points and hook actions
- the "hook" statement in named.conf is now "plugin"
- ns_module and ns_modlist are now ns_plugin and ns_plugins
- ns_module_load is renamed ns_plugin_register
- the mandatory functions in plugin modules (hook_register,
hook_check, hook_version, hook_destroy) have been renamed
- use a per-view module list instead of global hook_modules
- create an 'instance' pointer when registering modules, store it in
the module structure, and use it as action_data when calling
hook functions - this enables multiple module instances to be set
up in parallel
- also some nomenclature changes and cleanup
- temporary kluge! in this version, for testing purposes,
named always searches for a filter-aaaa module at /tmp/filter-aaaa.so.
this enables the filter-aaaa system test to run even though the
code to configure hooks in named.conf hasn't been written yet.
- filter-aaaa-on-v4, filter-aaaa-on-v6 and the filter-aaaa ACL are
still configured in the view as they were before, not in the hook.
- these formerly static helper functions have been moved into client.c
and made external so that they can be used in hook modules as well as
internally in libns: query_newrdataset, query_putrdataset,
query_newnamebuf, query_newname, query_getnamebuf, query_keepname,
query_releasename, query_newdbversion, query_findversion
- made query_recurse() and query_done() into public functions
ns_query_recurse() and ns_query_done() so they can be called from
modules.
- Replace external -DOPENSSL/-DPKCS11CRYPTO with properly AC_DEFINEd
HAVE_OPENSSL/HAVE_PKCS11
- Don't enforce the crypto provider from platform.h, just from dst_api.c
and configure scripts
4708. [cleanup] Legacy Windows builds (i.e. for XP and earlier)
are no longer supported. [RT #45186]
4707. [func] The lightweight resolver daemon and library (lwresd
and liblwres) have been removed. [RT #45186]
4706. [func] Code implementing name server query processing has
been moved from bin/named to a new library "libns".
Functions remaining in bin/named are now prefixed
with "named_" rather than "ns_". This will make it
easier to write unit tests for name server code, or
link name server functionality into new tools.
