Re: gethostbyXXXX_r()
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED] you wrote: Please complete it, let me know when you submit the PR i'll try to get it integrated. Ok, I submitted it: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=29581 I tried to make as few changes as possible, but still diff is quite big IMHO. And changed only dns and files. I didn't do anything about nis -- mostly because I have no place to test it right now. Should be pretty simple to modify nis code too. -- #include signature.h To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-hackers in the body of the message

If they're just mutex-protected variants, I haven't bothered to create any of those. I guess they might be of use to somebody, but I very much wanted to create _r routines that were implemented properly, not just wrap the non-_r routines in a mutex, which is bass-ackwards. -- Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?

Unfortunately, FreeBSD's implementation is based on much older bind, and has wandered quite a long way from it (INET6, kqueue in res_send, etc.) So, to take bind8's implementation and modify it to match FreeBSD stuff would be quite painful IMHO. What I did to some extent mimics bind8's implementation. I just went from other direction -- took what FreeBSD has and applied some ideas from bind8. I just need couple more days to make it presentable. As for bind9 -- this has AFAIK totally rewritten resolver, which doesn't even resemble bind8.
