This is part of the multithreading journey. The parser and lexer were
using loads of global variables and all of these are now packed into
struct cf_context and others.
Note that the config API has changed:
* cfg_alloc[zu]?(size) is now cf_alloc[zu]?(ctx, size)
* cf_error(msg, ...) is now cf_error(ctx, msg, ...)
* config_parse() and cli_parse() are now called differently
* there is a brand new CF_CTX section in *.Y files which participates
in struct cf_context construction
This also includes Bison version check. Versions before 3.0 don't
support them in a reliable way and we don't promise to work with
versions older than 2.4.
The two-letter instructions were quite messy but they could be easily
read from memory dumps. Now GDB (since 2012) supports pretty printing
enum values and GCC checks the switch construction for missing enum
values so we are converting the nice two-byte values to enums.
Anyway, the enum still keeps the old two-byte values to be able to read
the instruction codes even without GDB from plain memory dump.
This patch adds support for source-specific IPv6 routes to BIRD core.
This is based on Dean Luga's original patch, with the review comments
addressed. SADR support is added to network address parsing in confbase.Y
and to the kernel protocol on Linux.
Currently there is no way to mix source-specific and non-source-specific
routes (i.e., SADR tables cannot be connected to non-SADR tables).
Thanks to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for the original patch.
Minor changes by Ondrej Santiago Zajicek.
The old timer interface is still kept, but implemented by new timers. The
plan is to switch from the old inteface to the new interface, then clean
it up.
The old hash table had fixed size, which makes it slow for config files
with large number of symbols and symbol lookups. The new one is growing
according to needs.
From now on, protocol static accepts VPN4 and VPN6 addressess.
With some concerns about VPN6 Route Distinguishers, I finally chose
to have the same format as for VPN4 (where it is defined by RFC 4364).
Anyway, Bird is now capable to insert both MPLS routes and MPLS encap
routes into kernel.
It was (among others) needed to define platform-specific AF_MPLS to 28
as this constant has been assigned in the linux kernel.
No support for BSD now, it may be added in the future.
- Unit Testing Framework (BirdTest)
- Integration of BirdTest into the BIRD build system
- Tests for several BIRD modules
Based on squashed Pavel Tvrdik's int-test branch, updated for
current int-new branch.
