Update ares.h to support compiling with QNX
- [Dionna Glaze brought this change]
Simple changes to appease stricter compilers.
ares_process.c uses htonl, which needs <arpa/inet.h> included.
ares_getnameinfo.c uses a dynamically selected format string for
sprintf, which -Wformat-literal doesn't like. Usually one would use
inttypes.h and a format string "%" PRIu32, but C99 is too new for some
supported platforms.

Added support for Windows DNS Suffix Search List (#93)
This change solves issue #53.
Support for suffix search lists was already built in for Linux. The search list could be set via set_search. With this change the suffix search list from Windows is read from the registry and then set into the ares configuration via set_search. There are two sources for the search list:
The global DNS suffix search list.
The primary and connection specific DNS suffixes if the global is not available.

Windows DNS server sorting (#81)
Original Patch From Brad Spencer:
https://c-ares.haxx.se/mail/c-ares-archive-2016-04/0000.shtml
My modifications include:
* Dynamically find GetBestRoute2 since it is a Windows Vista+ symbol, and will fall back to prior behavior when not available.
* Prefer get_DNS_AdaptersAddresses as the modifications should alleviate the concerns which caused us to prefer get_DNS_NetworkParams
* Update AppVeyor to use MinGW-w64 instead of the legacy MinGW
* Fix compile error in test suite for Windows.
Original message from patch below:
From: Brad Spencer <bspencer@blackberry.com>
Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2016 14:26:23 -0300
On Windows, the c-ares DNS resolver tries first to get a full list of
DNS server addresses by enumerating the system's IPv4/v6 interfaces and
then getting the per-interface DNS server lists from those interfaces
and joining them together. The OS, at least in the way the c-ares
prefers to query them (which also may be the only or best way in some
environments), does not provide a unified list of DNS servers ordered
according to "current network conditions". Currently, c-ares will then
try to use them in whatever order the nested enumeration produces, which
may result in DNS requests being sent to servers on one interface
(hosting the current default route, for example) that are only intended
to be used via another interface (intended to be used when the first
interface is not available, for example). This, in turn, can lead to
spurious failures and timeouts simply because of the server address
order that resulted because of the enumeration process.
This patch makes the (safe?) assumption that there is no other better
rule to chose which interface's DNS server list should be prioritized.
After all, a DNS lookup isn't something "per network"; applications
don't look up "these DNS names on this interface and those DNS names on
that interface". There is a single resource pool of DNS servers and the
application should presume that any server will give it the "right"
answer. However, even if all DNS servers are assumed to give equally
useful responses, it is reasonable to expect that some DNS servers will
not accept requests on all interfaces. This patch avoids the problem by
sorting the DNS server addresses using the Windows IPv4/v6 routing tables.
For example, a request to DNS server C on interface 2 that is actually
sent over interface 1 (which may happen to have the default route) may
be rejected by or not delivered to DNS server C. So, better to use DNS
servers A and B associated with interface 1, at least as a first try.
By using the metric of the route to the DNS server itself as a proxy for
priority of the DNS server in the list, this patch is able to adapt
dynamically to changes in the interface list, the DNS server lists per
interface, which interfaces are active, the routing table, and so on,
while always picking a good "best" DNS server first.
In cases where any DNS server on any interface will do, this patch still
seems useful because it will prioritize a lower-metric route's (and thus
interface's) servers.

Merge pull request #77 from stephen-sorley/cmake_modernize
Updated CMake minimum version to 2.8.12.
Stephen Sorley (4 Jan 2017)
- Changed executables to depend directly on internal libcares target, instead of against
the external-facing alias targets.
- Updated Travis to pull CMake 2.8.12 from kubuntu-backports ppa.
- Updated CMake minimum version to 2.8.12.
Changed the way usage requirements (include dirs, compile defs, dependent libraries) are specified, to match the recommended standard practice for modern CMake. This involves using target-specific functions (target_include_directories, target_compile_definitions, etc.), along with the PUBLIC, PRIVATE or INTERFACE modifiers.
Updated chain-building support to imitate new-style Find modules (import libs), instead of old-style Find modules (cache variables).

Brad House (28 Sep 2016)
- XCode v8 introduced clock_gettime() for iOS v10. However, it is a weak symbol, which means when earlier iOS versions try to use clock_gettime() it results in a crash due to the missing symbol. Detect this condition and do not set HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME_MONOTONIC.
- Adds cmake build system support to C-Ares.
The patch does not modify any source files, it only adds 3 new files
(CMakelists.txt, ares_build.h.cmake, ares_config.h.cmake) which form the
build system. I've tried to go through as much of the autotools tests and
extracted what I thought was appropriate, though many of the tests aren't
as in-depth in CMake as they are for autotools ... it is unclear why some
of them exist at all, I'm guessing for legacy systems that CMake probably
doesn't support anyhow.
Building the library, and examples (adig, ahost, acountry) plus installation
should work across a large number of tested platforms. The tests have not
yet been integrated.

David Drysdale (24 Sep 2016)
- api: add ARES_OPT_NOROTATE optmask value
Fix up a couple of problems with configuring whether c-ares rotates
between different name servers between requests.
Firstly, ares_save_options() returns (in *optmask) the value of
(channel->optmask & ARES_OPT_ROTATE), which doesn't necessarily
indicate whether the channel is or is not actually doing rotation.
This can be confusing/incorrect if:
- the channel was originally configured without ARES_OPT_ROTATE
(so it appears that the channel is not rotating)
- the /etc/resolv.conf file includes the 'rotate' option
(so the channel is actually performing rotation).
Secondly, it is not possible to reliably configure a channel
to not-rotate; leaving off ARES_OPT_ROTATE is not enough, since
a 'rotate' option in /etc/resolv.conf will turn it on again.
Therefore:
- add an ARES_OPT_NOROTATE optmask value to allow explicit
configuration of no-rotate behaviour
- in ares_save_options(), report the value of channel->rotate
as exactly one of (optmask & ARES_OPT_ROTATE) or
(optmask & ARES_OPT_NOROTATE).
In terms of back-compatibility:
- existing apps that set ARES_OPT_ROTATE will continue to rotate,
and to have ARES_OPT_ROTATE reported back from ares_save_options()
- existing apps that don't set ARES_OPT_ROTATE will continue to
use local config/defaults to decide whether to rotate, and will
now get ARES_OPT_ROTATE or ARES_OPT_NOROTATE reported back from
ares_save_options() rather than 0.
- ares_init_options: only propagate init failures from options
Commit 46bb820be3a8 ("ares_init_options: don't lose init failure")
changed init behaviour so that earlier errors in initialization
weren't lost. In particular, if the user passes in specific
options but they are not applied (e.g. because of an allocation
failure), that failure needs to be reported back to the user; this
also applies when duplicating a channel with ares_dup().
However, other initialization failures can be ignored and
overridden -- in particular, if init_by_resolv_conf() or
init_by_environment() fail, then falling back to default values
is OK.
So only preserve failures from the init_by_options() stage, not
from all initialization stages.
Fixes issue 60.
- test: Force reinstall of libtool on OSX
Travis build environment appears to have changed.
- test: Add valgrind build variant

- test: Add Clang static analysis build to Travis

tests. Needs a later Clang install in Travis
- test: more info on how to run fuzz testing
- test: make fuzzer driver code C not C++
- test: fuzzer mode for AFL's persistent mode
When fuzzing with AFL, if the LLVM-based instrumentation is
used (via the afl-clang-fast wrapper), then it is possible to
have a single execution of the fuzzer program iterate multiple
times over the fuzzing entrypoint (similar to libFuzzer's normal
mode of execution) with different data. This is much (e.g. 10x)
faster.
Add code to support this, by checking whether __AFL_LOOP is
defined at compile-time.
Also, shift the code to effectively be C rather than C++.
- test: simplify deps for fuzzer entrypoint
No need to depend on the rest of the test code (ares-test.h) for
the fuzzer entrypoint; this makes the entrypoint slightly simpler
to build with LLVM's libFuzzer.
Also shift the code to effectively be C rather than C++
- test: disable MinGW tests
The test binary built in the MinGW build is failing for some
reason. It works for me when I build locally, so I'm guessing
it's down to some sort of AppVeyor environment issue.
Disable for now.

- test: Run fuzzcheck.sh in Travis build
- test: add fuzzing check script to tests
Add a test script that runs the fuzzing command over the
corpus of DNS packets. This doesn't actually do any fuzzing
(it just runs them as inputs without generating any variations)
but it does ensure that the fuzzing entrypoint is still working.
- test: allow multiple files in aresfuzz command line
If no arguments are specified, use stdin as input.
Otherwise treat each argument as a filename and feed
its contents to the fuzz entrypoint.
- test: Add corpus of DNS packets
For fuzz testing it is useful to start from a corpus of valid
packets, so fill out the test/fuzzinput/ directory with a bunch
of inputs.
These packets were generated by temporarily modifying the c-ares
process_answer() function to save off any incoming response messages.

configure: check if tests can get built before enabled
The current approach for disabling tests is not a good solution because
it forces you to pass --disable-tests, rather than auto-detect if your
system can support the tests in the first place. Many (most?) systems
do not have C++11. This also causes issues when chain-building c-ares,
the hosting system needs to be updated to support passing this
additional flag if necessary, it doesn't seem reasonable to add this
requirement which breaks compatibility.
This change auto-detects if the system can build the tests and
automatically disable them if it cannot. If you pass --enable-tests to
configure and the system cannot build them either due to lack of system
support, or because cross-compilation is being used, it will throw an
appropriate error since the user indicated they really did want the
tests.

Note that ON_CALL and EXPECT_CALL can't be mixed in the same
test, and that tests that have a varied sequence of responses
for the same repeated request still have to use EXPECT_CALL.

Ignore `fopen` errors to use default values
After 46bb820be3a83520e70e6c5f0c5133253fcd69cd `init_by_resolv_conf`
errors are no longer swallowed in `ares_init_options`. This has exposed
a previously unknown bug in `lookups` initialization code.
If there is no lookup configuration in `resolv.conf`,
`init_by_resolv_conf` will attempt to read it from other files available
on the system. However, some of these files may have restricted
permissions (like `600`), which will lead to `EACCESS` errno, which in
turn is handled like a fatal error by `init_by_resolv_conf`.
However, it sounds illogical that this error should be handled as a
fatal. There is a `init_by_defaults` call that overrides `lookups` with
default value, and certainly possible absence of lookup information is
the reason why this function exists in a first place!
I suggest handling any `fopen` errors as non-fatal ones, allowing to
pick up the `lookups` value from different config files, or to pick up
default value.

- test: ares_set_socket_callback failure behaviour
- test: Check ares_parse_txt_reply_ext() entrypoint
- [Fedor Indutny brought this change]
txt: introduce `ares_parse_txt_reply_ext`
Introduce `ares_txt_ext` structure with an extra `record_start`
field, which indicates a start of a new TXT record, thus allowing to
differentiate the chunks in the same record, from a chunks in a
different record.
Introduce a new API method: `ares_parse_txt_reply_ext` that works with
this kind of struct.
- doc: Update missed repo references
- doc: Update docs on contributing
- test: Run command line tools in Travis
Do a quick execution of each of the command line tools
in the continuous integration build, so that any (say)
sanitizer failures show up.
- acountry: drop inert test
If ver_1 is true, then z0 and z1 must both be 'z', and so
(z0 != 'z' && z1 != 'z') can never be true.

- doc: update badge locations to master repo
- test: Enable maintainer mode + debug in Travis
- test: Add an iOS build target
- test: Ignore SIGPIPE in tests
- test: More initialization tests
- test: Improve containerized test mechanism
Aim is to ensure that code coverage information can escape the
container. To do this:
- Enter a new mount namespace too, so that we can...
- Bind mount the expected source directory into the container
- Share memory with the sub-process so coverage information is
shared too.
- test: Make contained tests easier to write
- test: Add framework for containerized testing
On Linux we can potentially use user and UTS namespaces to run a test
in a pseudo-container with:
- arbitrary filesystem (e.g. /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/hosts)
- arbitrary hostname/domainname.
Include a first pass at the framework code to allow this, along with a
first test case that uses the container.
- test: Use a longer timeout for less flakiness
Having occasional test failures from timeout before multiple
queries can complete, so up the default timeout for the test
from 100ms to 1500ms.
- test: Make failure tests more robust
Different platforms will do different numbers of allocations
in the processing of a given API call; just check that the
return code is either success or ENOMEM, and free off any
returned state in the former case.
Also cope with ECONNREFUSED as well as ENOTFOUND.
- test: Get test code building under Windows
- Initial nmake file based off library nmake file
- Cast socket call arguments to (char *)

- Remove unnecessary include of sys/socket.h
- Force longer bitmask for allocation failure tracking
- Call WSAStartup() / WSACleanup() in main()
- Set TCP_NODELAY for mock server

- Add an allocation failure test for each parsing function.
- Add error check test for each parsing function.
- test: Add various additional tests
- test: More tests
Include tests of internal functions, based on the value of the
CARES_SYMBOL_HIDING macro; need to configure the library with

- test: Allow command line override of mock server port
- test: Add README.md documentation
- test: Temporarily avoid latest Python requests package
Currently get error from Travis on this install step, and downgrading one
version appears to fix the problem.
"Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pyOpenSSL>=0.13
(from requests[security])"
- test: Add AppVeyor config file for Windows build
- test: Add configuration for a Travis build
Cover Linux & OSX on the container infrastructure, but install
a later G++ to satisfy the tests' need for C++11.
Use a build matrix to include a variety of build variants:
- ASAN
- UBSAN
- LSAN
- Coverage via coveralls.io
test: invoke ASAN and coverage in Travis build
Also shift to use explicit build matrix
test: Use coveralls.io for coverage tracking
test: Add a build with UBSAN
Also expand and re-order the setting of environment variables
for easier modification.
test: Add LSAN build to Travis config
- test: Add initial unit tests for c-ares library
The tests are written in C++11, using the GoogleTest and GoogleMock
frameworks. They have their own independent autoconf setup, so that
users of the library need not have a C++ compiler just to get c-ares
working (however, the test/configure.ac file does assume the use of
a shared top-level m4/ directory). However, this autoconf setup has
only been tested on Linux and OSX so far.
Run with "./arestest", or "./arestest -v" to see extra debug info.
The GoogleTest options for running specific tests are also
available (e.g. "./arestest --gtest_filter=*Live*").
The tests are nowhere near complete yet (currently hitting around
60% coverage as reported by gcov), but they do include examples
of a few different styles of testing:
- There are live tests (ares-test-live.cc), which assume that the
current machine has a valid DNS setup and connection to the
internet; these tests issue queries for real domains but don't
particularly check what gets returned. The tests will fail on
an offline machine.
- There a few mock tests (ares-test-mock.cc) that set up a fake DNS
server and inject its port into the c-ares library configuration.
These tests allow specific response messages to be crafted and
injected, and so are likely to be used for many more tests in
future.
- To make this generation/injection easier, the dns-proto.h file
includes C++ helper classes for building DNS packets.
- Other library entrypoints that don't require network activity
(e.g. ares_parse_*_reply) are tested directly.
- There are few tests of library-internal functions that are not
normally visible to API users (in ares-test-internal.cc).
- A couple of the tests use a helper method of the test fixture to
inject memory allocation failures, using the earlier change to the
library to allow override of malloc/realloc/free.
- There is also an entrypoint to allow Clang's libfuzzer to drive
the packet parsing code in ares_parse_*_reply, together with a
standalone wrapper for it (./aresfuzz) to allow use of afl-fuzz
for further fuzz testing.
- test: Add local copy of GoogleMock/GoogleTest 1.7.0
Don't check in gtest/m4 files, as they are unused and interfere
with the top-level configure process.
- doc: Show build badges in README.md
Note that these URLs will need to be updated if/when the test branch
gets pulled into the master repo/branch.
- doc: Convert README to README.md
Gives better display on GitHub
- doc: Update in preparation for next release
Assume 1.11.0 is next (as there are various API additions).
Also add myself to AUTHORS.
- build: Allow header compilation by Windows C++ compiler
- build: Expose whether symbol hiding is on
Adding the CARES_SYMBOL_HIDING definition allows the test suite to
detect whether internal symbols are available or not.
- build: Add autoconf macros for C++11 code using pthreads
Pull in testing macros from the GNU autoconf archive to allow
configure scripts to test for and setup use of a C++11 compiler
(AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11) and the pthreads library (AX_PTHREAD).
Note that these macros are not used by the main library autoconf,
just by the tests (which share the same m4/ directory).
- build: Add a code coverage option
Configure with:
./configure --enable-code-coverage
Show coverage output with:
make code-coverage-capture
Built on m4/ax_code_coverage.m4 from the GNU autoconf archive
to provide the macros to check for presence of gcov + lcov;
upstream macro modified to:
- Remove use of $(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY) , as earlier versions of
autoconf (such as the one used by default on Travis) do not have this.
- Rather than automatically defining CODE_COVERAGE_RULES to be a set
of makefile rules that use ifeq/endif (which is GNU make-specific),
instead only define CODE_COVERAGE_RULES if coverages is turned on,
and in that case don't use conditionals in the makefile.
- api: Add entrypoints to allow use of per-server ports
Add user-visible entrypoints ares_{get,set}_servers_ports(3), which
take struct ares_addr_port_node rather than struct ares_addr_node.
This structure includes a UDP and TCP port number; if this is set
to zero, the channel-wide port values are used as before.
Similarly, add a new ares_set_servers_ports_csv(3) entrypoint, which
is analogous to ares_set_servers(3) except it doesn't ignore any
specified port information; instead, any per-server specified port
is used as both the UDP and TCP port for that server.
The internal struct ares_addr is extended to hold the UDP/TCP ports,
stored in network order, with the convention that a value of zero
indicates that the channel-wide UDP/TCP port should be used.
For the internal implementation of ares_dup(3), shift to use the
_ports() version of the get/set functions, so port information is
transferred correctly to the new channel.
Update manpages, and add missing ares_set_servers_csv to the lists
while we're at it
- api: Add ares_set_sortlist(3) entrypoint
Allow explicit configuration of the channel's sortlist, by
specifying a string in the same format as the equivalent
/etc/resolv.conf option.
This allows library users to perform the same configuration
that is available via /etc/resolv.conf, but without needing
to change that file.
- api: Allow injection of user-specified malloc/free functions
Add a new ares_library_init_mem() initialization function for the
library which allows the library user to specify their own malloc,
realloc & free equivalents for use library-wide.
Store these function pointers in library-wide global variables,
defaulting to libc's malloc(), realloc() and free().
Change all calls to malloc, realloc and free to use the function pointer
instead. Also ensure that ares_strdup() is always available
(even if the local environment includes strdup(3)), and change the
library code to always use it.
Convert calls to calloc() to use ares_malloc() + memset
- api: Add option to expose some internal functions
Purely for testing, add --enable-expose-statics option to configure
which converts some static internal functions to be externally visible.
- api: Expose the ares_library_initialized() function
- ahost: Allow repeated -s <domain> options
This also removes a potential leak where later -s options would
replace earlier ones without freeing the relevant string.
- Mark unhittable lines
Add comments for the benefit of the lcov tool, marking
lines that cannot be hit. Typically these are fall-back
protection arms that are already covered by earlier checks,
and so it's not worth taking out the unhittable code (in case
someone changes the code between the two places in future).
- ares_set_servers_csv.3: make return type match code
- bitncmp: update comment to match code behaviour
- ares_striendstr: fix so non-NULL return can happen
This looks to have been broken since it was first introduced in 2005 in
commit aba0b775ea30 ("Added ares_getnameinfo which mimics the
getnameinfo API")
- config_sortlist: free any existing sortlist on (re)alloc failure
If we get an allocation failure on 2nd or later entry in the sortlist, the
code would return ENOMEM but still leave the initial entries allocated.
Ensure that *sortlist is set to NULL whenever ENOMEM is returned.
- ares_dup: clear new channel on failure
If the attempt to transfer IPv6 servers from the old to the new channel
fails, the previous code would still return a channel to the user even though
an error return code was generated. This makes it likely that users would
leak the channel, so explicitly clear the channel in this case.
- ares_init_options: don't lose init failure
If (say) init_by_options() fails, the subsequent call to
init_by_defaults() was overwriting the return code with
success. Still call init_by_defaults() regardless, but track
its return value separately
- ares_gethostbyname: don't leak valid-but-empty hostent
If an AF_UNSPEC query gets a valid response to its AAAA query,
but which has no IPv6 addresses in it, then the code chains on to
a A record query. However, the hostent from the AAAA response
was being leaked along the way (because it gets replaced before
the follow-on end_hquery() invocation).
- ares_parse_txt_reply: propagate errors from per-substring loop
If we get an allocation failure when processing a particular substring in a
TXT record, that failure is silently lost; fix that by propagating errors from
the inner loop to the outer loop.
- process_answer: fix things up correctly when removing EDNS option
When a server rejects an EDNS-equipped request, we retry without
the EDNS option. However, in TCP mode, the 2-byte length prefix was
being calculated wrong -- it was built from the answer length rather than
the length of the original request.
Also, it is theoretically possible that the call to realloc() might change
the data pointed to; to allow for this, qbuf also needs updating.
(Both these fixes were actually included in a patchset sent on the mailing
list in Oct 2012, but were included with other functional changes that
didn't get merged:
http://c-ares.haxx.se/mail/c-ares-archive-2012-10/0004.shtml)
- ares__read_line: clear buf pointer on realloc failure
- ares_expand_name: check for valid bits in label length
The top two bits of the label length indicate whether this is a
label length (00) or an index to a name elsewhere in the message
(11). RFC1035 4.1.4 says that the other possible values for the
top two bits (01, 10) are reserved for future use.

Fixing slow DNS lookup issue
This patch is fixing the dns lookup issue due to dummy dns information

the dns lookup policy to try GetNetworkParams first because the
GetNetworkParams provides the most reliable dns information (lots of
checks were done by system). I also filter out inoperable adapter in
DNS_AdaptersAddresses in case GetNetworkParams fail.

Continue loop if space for hostname not large enough
When attempting to build a search domain from the local hostname
(used as a fallback when no other methods have given a search

statement exited the loop rather than going round again.

Fix integer shift overflow if both tcp_socket and udp_socket are set
The problem occurs if at the start of the loop the sockindex is at the
last valid ARES_GETSOCK_MAXNUM position. If then both udp_socket and
tcp_socket are valid, sockindex gets incremented for UDP first and
points one entry behind the array for the tcp block.
So the fix is to check after every increment of sockindex if it is still
valid.

ares_build.h: fix building on 64-bit powerpc
There are two issues.
1. gcc actually does not use __ppc__ and __ppc64__ but __PPC__ and

2. clang defines __GNU__ and defines both __ppc64__ and __ppc__ when

problem, deinitializing the library only after a number of calls to
ares_library_cleanup() matching the number of calls to
ares_library_init().

ares_cancel(): cancel requests safely
An invocation of ares_cancel() walks through the request list, calling

not end up empty, causing an abort by assertion failure. The present
commit ensures that precisely all requests present upon entry of
ares_cancel() are cancelled, and that adding new requests through
callbacks is safe.

buildconf: automake version 1.13.1
buildconf: aclocal version 1.13.1
buildconf: libtool version 2.4
buildconf: GNU m4 version 1.4.16
- ares_private.h: use again memdebug.h instead of curl_memdebug.h
- configure.ac: replace AM_CONFIG_HEADER with AC_CONFIG_HEADERS
automake 1.13 errors if AM_CONFIG_HEADER is used in configure script.
- cares-override.m4: provide AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR definition conditionally

- configure: check if compiler halts on function prototype mismatch
- cares-functions.m4: add gethostname arg 2 data type check and definition
- cares-functions.m4: update thread-safeness detection of getaddrinfo()
Take in account that POSIX standard Issue 7 drops h_errno support. Now, we also
consider getaddrinfo() to be thread-safe when (_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L) or
(_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700) independently of whether h_errno exists or not.
Take in account that h_errno might be a modifiable lvalue not defined as
a C preprocessor macro.
- setup_once.h: HP-UX <sys/socket.h> issue workaround
Issue: When building a 32bit target with large file support HP-UX
<sys/socket.h> header file may simultaneously provide two different
sets of declarations for sendfile and sendpath functions, one with
static and another with external linkage. Given that we do not use
mentioned functions we really don't care which linkage is the
appropriate one, but on the other hand, the double declaration emmits
warnings when using the HP-UX compiler and errors when using modern
gcc versions resulting in fatal compilation errors.
Mentioned issue is now fixed as long as we don't use sendfile nor
sendpath functions.
- setup_once.h: refactor inclusion of <unistd.h> and <sys/socket.h>
Inclusion of these two header files now done in setup_once.h
- Header inclusion clean-up
Remove header inclusions already done in setup_once.h

Fix UDP and TCP port byte order in saved options.
The UDP and TCP port are stored in network byte order in the
ares_channeldata, but are passed in to ares_init_options() in host byte
order. Thus we must return them from ares_save_options() in host byte
order too, or a duplicated channel will convert them again, leading to a
nonfunctional channel and a mysterious connection refused error from
ares_gethostbyname(). This breaks ares_dup(), thus the curl easy API
when c-ares is used by curl, and thus all the curl easy API's users.

Makefile.Watcom:
* The 'NTDDI_VERSION' needs to be raised to 0x05010000

* Replaced '-dUSE_WATT32' with '-dWATT32'.
* Added $(DEMOS) to the 'all' target and removed the 'demos'
target to be consistent with e.g. Makefile.msvc etc.
* 'ENABLE_IPV6' is no longer used. Hence removed the '%use_ipv6' construct.
* object-file order seems to be important (Watcom v.19). Hence
'ares_getopt.obj' must be put after the .obj that references getopt().

Full import of inet_ntop.c from bind-9.5.3rc1 to pull additional fixes.
- ares_nowarn: add conditional inclusion of assert.h header
- fix compiler warning: conversion may lose significant bits
- ares_inet_net_pton: fix non-rejection of some malformed literals
ares_inet_net_pton would return wrong values when excessively large,
and invalid, netmasks are used. Fixes are from bind-9.5.3rc1,
issue also described in the WLB-2008080064 advisory.
- setup_once: provide ISASCII macro
- configure: inet_net_pton function check adjustments
Define HAVE_INET_NET_PTON only when system's inet_net_pton function is IPv6
capable and is not affected by the WLB-2008080064 advisory.
HAVE_INET_NET_PTON_IPV6 is no longer defined nor used.
- ares_init: fix detection of semicolon comments in resolv.conf
File resolv.conf may either use a hash '#' or a semicolon ';' character as an
indication that the rest of the line is a comment. This fixes not recognizing
the semicolon as a valid comment indicator in resolv.conf.
- version: start working on 1.7.5

ares_parse_a_reply: fix CNAME response parsing
Reply to a CNAME query doesn't contain addresses, causing
ares_parse_a_reply() to bail out with ARES_ENODATA
Bug: http://groups.google.com/group/nodejs/browse_thread/thread/a1268c9ea5e9ad9b
Yang Tse (1 Dec 2010)
- fix compiler warning: conversion may lose significant bits
- atoi: remove atoi usage
- ares_init: fix compiler warning: conversion may lose significant bits
- configure: fix autoconf warning
- inet_pton: fix compiler warning
- configure: use autobuilds to temporarily verify strict aliasing warnings.
Temporarily, When cross-compiling with gcc 3.0 or later, enable strict aliasing
rules and warnings. Given that cross-compiled targets autobuilds do not run the
test-suite, there is no risk of running code that violates strict aliasing rules
- ares_getnameinfo: Partially revert commit 85520d66e0ac7ac73411bc25e98769a88b2f
Upon socket address family and length validation failure return ARES_ENOTIMP
in callback again, this is the error code documented in man page and used
mostly all over the library.
- ares_getnameinfo: Validate socket address family and length.
Validate socket address family and that the socket address length is appropriate
for the specified family. Failure is reported with ARES_EBADFAMILY in callback.
- ares_getnameinfo: fix two compiler warnings
- Added another VS10 version string
- Fix GCC 4 compiler warning 'dereferencing type-punned pointer might break strict-aliasing rules'.
- Revert commit 494274e653936335c255a47599970de3df21e7c4
- configure: fix autoconf 2.68 warning: no AC_LANG_SOURCE call detected in body
- Fix compiler warning: array subscript has type 'char'
- Fix GCC 4 compiler warning 'dereferencing type-punned pointer might break strict-aliasing rules'.
- Revert following commits:
07bc7ea79509bcc9ef6e09151e81766ed00d3392
3392a50ea3f8573ea4b7a9d82b9833dab60cb0e9
9912637d32c9987719a1ea12db591aee2941891c
The purpose of the whole patch was to silence a compiler warning triggered
with GCC 4 on file ares_process.c The specific compiler warning was
'dereferencing type-punned pointer might break strict-aliasing rules'.
A simpler patch will follow to equally silence the warning.
- ares_options: reorder header inclusions to make inclusion of
ares_private.h the last included one again.

adig: fix NAPTR parsing
I ran across a small "issue" in your adig example.
It is simply the last part of the NAPTR record, the replacement element,
which is not a string, as currently handled in adig, but a domain name.
- ares_save_options: assignments instead of memcpy
- init_by_options: don't copy an empty sortlist
If there aren't any sort items to copy, don't bother. Without this
little precaution it would do a malloc(0) which causes undefined
behaviors and is frowned upon by curl's memdebug-system.

Fix lookup with HOSTALIASES set.
ares__read_line returns ARES_EOF when it reaches the end of the
file. This will happen every time when reading to the end of the
HOSTALIASES file. Unfortunately single_domain treats this error as
being fatal.

- Compiler option /GX is now replaced with equivalent /EHsc for all versions.
- - Ingmar Runge noticed that Windows config-win32.h configuration file

Version 1.7.0 (27 Nov 2009)
Yang Tse (27 Nov 2009)
- Preserve empty line following last target
- - Larry Lansing fixed ares_parse_srv_reply to properly parse replies
which might contain non-SRV answers, skipping over potential non-SRV
ones such as CNAMEs.
- When using icc, compile with -fpic and link with intel dynamic libraries.
- Added 'currently' in italics to insist on transient situation.
- Fix language
- Daniel wants upcoming release to be 1.7.0
- Mention last changes
- - Removed from external interface preprocessor symbol definition for
CARES_HAVE_ARES_FREE_DATA. Current functionality of ares_free_data()
makes it unnecessary.
- Added README.msvc
- Changed c-ares naming conventions when using MSVC as described in README.msvc
- - Mention other recent changes
- - Jakub Hrozek renamed addrttl and addr6ttl structs to ares_addrttl and
ares_addr6ttl in order to prevent name space pollution, along with
necessary changes to code base and man pages.This change does not break
ABI, there is no need to recompile existing applications. But existing
applications using these structs with the old name will need source code
adjustments when recompiled using c-ares 1.6.1.
- - Jakub Hrozek fixed more function prototypes in man pages to sync them
with the ones declared in ares.h
- Make configure remove the ares_build.h file included in distribution tarballs.
- Fix macro redefinition.
- Fix name space pollution.
- Allow using different extra import libraries for debug and release builds.
- Add manifest stuff to msvc makefile
- Sync man page with reality
- Add missing external API decoration for ares_set_socket_callback()
- Add ares_free_data() man page.
- - Provide in external interface preprocessor symbol definitions for
CARES_HAVE_ARES_FREE_DATA as an indication of function availability.
- Remove typecast
- Fix comment
- Add ares_data.c and ares_data.h
- Jakub Hrozek modified ares_parse_srv_reply() and ares_parse_txt_reply() API
to return a linked lists of results. These were also modified to internally
use the ares_data memory struct and as such its result must be free'ed with
ares_free_data().
- Initial support for the generic ares_free_data() function that will allow
applications to free memory allocated and returned by some c-ares funtions.
- Make usage of calloc()'s arguments consistent with rest of code base
- workaround icc 9.1 optimizer issue
- Add icc fvisibility bug test
- Fix icc 9.0 compiler warning: external definition with no prior declaration
- Fix three var names
- Add check for assert.h header file
- getaddrinfo is fully thread safe on solaris versions which
implement the function even when h_errno is not a macro.
The h_errno macro test now only done on systems for which there
is no hard coded knowledge about getaddrinfo's thread safeness.
- Remove files generated on previous buildconf/configure run
- Remove enable-thread / disable-thread configure option. These were only placebo
options. The library is always built as thread safe as possible on every system.
- Refactor how preprocessor symbol _THREAD_SAFE definition is done.
- Assume that getaddrinfo is thread safe, unless hard coded
knowledge says the contrary or h_errno is not defined.
- Related with the threadsafe capability of getaddrinfo:
- Constantine Sapuntzakis reported that Darwin 6.0 a.k.a. MAC OS X 10.2
and newer have a threadsafe getaddrinfo.
- Fix Dragonfly BSD triplet detection.
- In case the hard-coded knowledge says that getaddrinfo is threadsafe,
an additional check is done to verify that h_errno is also defined.
If h_errno isn't defined, we finally assume that it isn't threadsafe.
Jamie Lokier provided the inspiration for this extra check.
- AIX 5.2 and newer have threadsafe getaddrinfo.
Add some comments to better understand what the regex's pretend to achieve.
- HP-UX 11.11 and later have threadsafe getaddrinfo
- Check if getaddrinfo is threadsafe when function check allows it to be used
- Renamed fpGetNetworkParams and fpSystemFunction036 to avoid namespace pollution with static library
- Add kernel32.lib
- Mention last changes
- Reinstate copyright symbol lost in previous commit
- Make some strings different in resource file for debug or release builds
- Ignore more subdirs
- Fix compiler warning: conditional expression is constant
- Sync linker and resource compiler options with Makefile.msvc
- Follow Makefile.msvc subdirectory naming scheme, and sync compiler options
- Updated MSVC makefile that allows building dynamic and static
c-ares libraries in debug and release flavours.
Additionally each of the three sample programs is built against
each of the four possible c-ares libraries, generating all this
a total number of 12 executables and 4 libraries.
- Test for USE_WINSOCK since it is more restrictive than WIN32
- Make header inclusion depend on HAVE_*_H definition
- Remove unneeded preprocessor directives
- Adjust c-ares include paths for memory tracking enabled (--enable-curldebug) builds
- source files used by sample programs
- Renamed c-ares setup.h to ares_setup.h
- Adjust include paths to take in account that currently:
c-ares with --enable-curldebug uses memdebug.h from libcurl's lib subdirectory.
memdebug.h needs access to libcurl's setup.h from libcurl's lib subdirectory
and also needs access to libcurl's generated curl_config.h
- Undo old temporary change once used for testing purposes
- Mention many changes
- Mention --enable-symbol-hiding configure option
- Symbol hiding configure options renamed to the hopefully less ambiguous
--enable-symbol-hiding and --disable-symbol-hiding as well as related
macro names and some internal variables used for them.
Related configuration file preprocessor symbols named to
CARES_SYMBOL_HIDING and CARES_SYMBOL_SCOPE_EXTERN.
- Header inclusion depending on HAVE_* symbol.
Fix two typos.
- Comparison of the Initial revision of this file with ares_parse_a_reply.c
shows that this one is actually a modified copy of ares_parse_a_reply.c.
In order to comply with ares_parse_a_reply.c's M.I.T. license, the old
1998 M.I.T. copyright notice is now also preserved in this file the same
as it is done in other ares_parse_*.c files.
- Add CVS Id tag.
Fix identation of some license lines.
- Add CVS Id tag.
- Fix comment
- In no particular order, changed/fixed all of the following in
ares_parse_txt_reply() current version:
- Fixed a couple of potential double free's.
- Fixed memory leaks upon out of memory condition.
- Fixed pointer arithmetic.
- Setting ntxtreply to zero upon entry for all failure cases.
- Changed data type to size_t for variables substr_len, str_len and
the length member of ares_txt_reply struct.
- Avoided a couple of memcpy() calls.
- Changed i data type to unsigned int to prevent compiler warnings.
- Adjusted a comment.
- Use ARES_SUCCESS literal for successfull completion.
- Added CVS Id tag.
- Add c-ares DLL resource file to distribution archive
- ignore files
- Empty subdir
- Updated MSVC 6.0 workspace and project files that allows building
dynamic and static c-ares libraries in debug and release flavours.
Additionally each of the three sample programs is built against
each of the four possible c-ares libraries, generating all this
a total number of 12 executables and 4 libraries.

- changed includes to match style how we do with all other *.c files.
- changed u_int16_t to unsigned short because it is the only place within ares and curl where such a type would be used;
also it broke many autobuilds. We should probably introduce an ares_port_t if we want to use a type here.
Gisle Vanem (5 Sep 2009)
- Replace 'uint16_t' with 'u_int16_t' since the latter is used in ares.h.
- Added 'ares_parse_srv_reply.obj'. Added definition of 'u_int16_t'. This is I don't like; we should not depend on such non-universal types in a public header. But this is just a quick fix.
Daniel Stenberg (4 Sep 2009)

- Remove buildconf.bat from release and daily snapshot archives.
buildconf.bat is only for CVS tree builds.
- Ensure that buildconf.bat does nothing unless it is used with a CVS checkout.
- CVS-INFO file only present in CVS tree, never in release nor daily snapshot

NEED_MALLOC_H and NEED_MEMORY_H respectively.
- ignore
Gisle Vanem (18 Apr 2009)
- Added '-DHAVE_LIMITS_H'.
Yang Tse (17 Apr 2009)

Phil Blundell (3 Feb 2009)
- * February 3 2009 (Phil Blundell)
- If the server returns garbage or nothing at all in response to an AAAA query,
go on and ask for A records anyway.
Daniel Stenberg (31 Jan 2009)
- - ares_gethostbyname() now accepts 'AF_UNSPEC' as a family for resolving
either AF_INET6 or AF_INET. It works by accepting any of the looksups in the
hosts file, and it resolves the AAAA field with a fallback to A.
Gisle Vanem (18 Jan 2009)
- fopen() returns error in 'errno' even on Windows.
So don't use ERRNO (GetLastError()). Trimmed trailing
blanks.
- Constified some arguments in local functions.
Daniel Stenberg (14 Jan 2009)
- - ares.h no longer uses the HAVE_STRUCT_IN6_ADDR define check, but instead it
now declares the private struct ares_in6_addr for all systems instead of
relying on one possibly not present in the system.
Phil Blundell (13 Jan 2009)
- - ares__send_query() now varies the retry timeout pseudo-randomly to avoid
packet storms when several queries were started at the same time.
Daniel Stenberg (11 Jan 2009)
- - Phil Blundell added the internal function ares__expand_name_for_response()
that is now used by the ares_parse_*_reply() functions instead of the
ares_expand_name() simply to easier return ARES_EBADRESP for the cases where
the name expansion fails as in responses that really isn't expected.
Gunter Knauf (30 Dec 2008)
- added HAVE_SOCKADDR_IN6_SIN6_SCOPE_ID to ares Makefile.netware and sync'd with other Makefile.netware.
Daniel Stenberg (9 Dec 2008)
- use the new URL
- start over on the 1.6.1 release...
Version 1.6.0 (9 Dec 2008)
Daniel Stenberg (9 Dec 2008)
- add space
Gisle Vanem (9 Dec 2008)
- Fix for Win32 targets using Watt-32.
Dan Fandrich (9 Dec 2008)
- C89 compilers (like Minix' ACK) only need to handle 31 functions arguments
so split a long sprintf into two calls to get below that number.
Gisle Vanem (8 Dec 2008)
- Added needed defines for Watt-32 on Windows.
- Undefine 'optarg', 'optind' and 'opterr' when using Watt-32
(to get correct linkage on Windows).
- ares_writev() shall not be exported when using Watt-32 (has writev).
Added _USE_32BIT_TIME_T to avoid runtime warning. Applies to
VC-2008+ only.
- Removed unneeded defines HAVE_SIGNAL_H, HAVE_SIG_ATOMIC_T,
RETSIGTYPE and HAVE_PROCESS_H.
Daniel Stenberg (4 Dec 2008)
- the initial version of the ares_set_socket_callback man page
- Gregor Jasny provided the patch that introduces ares_set_socket_callback(),
and I edited it to also get duped by ares_dup().
Dan Fandrich (4 Dec 2008)
- Bring the sys/include.h include test in line with curl's.
Daniel Stenberg (3 Dec 2008)
- Let's not call ares_save_options() deprecated just yet
- Introduce ares_dup(3) and new thoughts about API/ABI and how to move forwards.
Also discussed on the ml.
Dan Fandrich (2 Dec 2008)
- Make sure sys/socket.h is included before netinet/in.h (required by
OpenWatcom C, and condoned by SUS)
Daniel Stenberg (1 Dec 2008)
- minor indent fix
- Convert the public config struct to the same binary size/construct as in the
latest releases to remain ABI compatible.
Gisle Vanem (29 Nov 2008)
- Added '-DHAVE_GETHOSTNAME'.
Dan Fandrich (29 Nov 2008)
- Make sure sys/socket.h is included before netinet/in.h (required by
OpenWatcom C)

Daniel Stenberg (28 Nov 2008)
- updated with changes, preparing for a release soon
Yang Tse (26 Nov 2008)
- Gerald Combs fixed a bug in ares_parse_ptr_reply() which would cause a
buffer to shrink instead of expand if a reply contained 8 or more records.
- Brad Spencer provided changes to allow buildconf to work on OS X.
- In preparation for the upcomming IPv6 nameservers patch, the internal
ares_addr union is now changed into an internal struct which also holds
the address family.
Dan Fandrich (20 Nov 2008)
- Make checking for struct ifreq a prerequisite for setting
HAVE_IOCTL_SIOCGIFADDR since it's needed to use SIOCGIFADDR and Watcom C
doesn't currently define it.
Daniel Stenberg (20 Nov 2008)
- use unsigned short better intead of mixing with ints to prevent compiler
warnings
- please the picky compilers by staying with short as the data we get is short
only
- - Brad Spencer brought the new function ares_gethostbyname_file() which simply
resolves a host name from the given file, using the regular hosts syntax.
Yang Tse (19 Nov 2008)
- user provided PATH_SEPARATOR always overrides auto-detected one
- attempting to keep lines below 80 chars
- provide a common PATH_SEPARATOR check method which is required by
upcomming work to support the broadest range of Autoconf versions
- check for gethostbyaddr and gethostbyname as it is done for other functions
- Make configure script check if ioctl with the SIOCGIFADDR command can be
used, and define HAVE_IOCTL_SIOCGIFADDR if appropriate.
- fix leftover from previous commit
- fix inet_pton() runtime configure check
- trim down configure script size
Daniel Stenberg (15 Nov 2008)
- Fixed an OOM condition reported by Jim Meyering
Yang Tse (14 Nov 2008)
- fix typo affecting inclusion of <arpa/inet.h> in configure
checks for inet_ntoa_r() inet_ntop() and inet_pton()
- #include <string.h> in the getaddrinfo() runtime check for the memset() prototype
- fix symbol definition check for fcntl.h inclusion
- Refactor configure script detection of functions used to set sockets into
non-blocking mode, and decouple function detection from function capability.
Daniel Stenberg (1 Nov 2008)
- Added a TODO file to list things we want changed, added or fixed.
- - Carlo Contavalli added support for the glibc "rotate" option, as documented
in man resolv.conf:
causes round robin selection of nameservers from among those listed. This
has the effect of spreading the query load among all listed servers, rather
than having all clients try the first listed server first every time.
You can enable it with ARES_OPT_ROTATE
Yang Tse (1 Nov 2008)
- Adjust WIN32 freeaddrinfo, getaddrinfo and getnameinfo availability
- WIN32 availability of freeaddrinfo, getaddrinfo and getnameinfo functions is quite
convoluted, compiler dependant and in some cases even build target dependat.
- check for freeaddrinfo() at configuration phase
- update aclocal file serial number
- remove verification of the freeability of the addrinfo struct pointer members
- fix comment
- make CHECK_FUNC_GETADDRINFO_UNFREEABLE_AI_ADDR
and CHECK_FUNC_GETADDRINFO_UNFREEABLE_AI_CANONNAME
internal to CHECK_FUNC_GETADDRINFO
- fix leftover
- Initial attempt to detect at configuration time if the getaddrinfo()
function returns an addrinfo with an unfreeable ai_canonname member ptr.
- Initial attempt to detect at configuration time if the getaddrinfo()
function returns an addrinfo with an unfreeable ai_addr member ptr.
- icc adjustments:
Select ANSI C89 dialect plus GNU extensions, again.
- some more temporary magic for the icc seg-fault issue
- icc permanent adjustment:
Select precise floating-point model, otherwise doubles are less than 64-bit wide
icc test adjustment:
Select c89 dialect
- icc adjustments:
Enable more icc warnings.
Optimization disabling options used only for icc 9.1
- #include <stdlib.h> for exit() prototype
- some more temporary magic for the icc seg-fault issue
- remove from configure.ac temporary magic for the icc seg-fault issue
- some more temporary magic for the icc seg-fault issue
- Charles Hardin patch:
- handles the EINPROGRESS for UDP connects
- uses closesocket instead of close on some paths that were noticed
- some more temporary magic for the icc seg-fault issue
- messages initially intended only for debug purposes, now become permanent
since these are extremely useful when compiler rejects a set of options.
- fix compiler warning
- fix missing double-quotes
Daniel Stenberg (17 Oct 2008)
- Charles Hardin made adig support a regular numerical dotted IP address for the
-s option as well.
Yang Tse (16 Oct 2008)
- some more temporary magic for the icc seg-fault issue
- Ensure that shell variable contents which have active meaning
to the shell echo command are not interpreted when trying to
remove extra whitespace from shell variable content.
- Adjust Watcom C warnings:
Disable warnings on structure members padding.
- With this change Solaris target builds will now be done with _REENTRANT defined.
- Adjust Tiny C basic options:
Remove -b from debug-enabled configuration, as Tiny C might have
been built without the memory and bounds checker support.
- Adjust GCC warnings:
Better disable following warnings when cross-compiling with a gcc older
than 3.0, to avoid warnings from third party system headers:
-Wmissing-declarations
-Wmissing-prototypes
-Wunused
-Wshadow
- fix syntax error
- Initial attempt to detect Watcom C compiler
- make naming scheme more consistent across whole file
- Adjust GCC warnings:
Disable following warnings when cross-compiling with a gcc older
than 3.0, to avoid warnings from third party system headers:
-Wmissing-prototypes
-Wunused
-Wshadow
- Adjust GCC --enable-warnings:
Do not enable -pedantic when cross-compiling with a gcc older
than 3.0, to avoid warnings from third party system headers.
- adjust SGI MIPSpro C detection
- LCC compiler adjustments:
Highest warning level is double -A, next is single -A.
Due to the big number of warnings these trigger on third
party header files it is impratical for us to use any of
them here. If you want them simply define it in CPPFLAGS.
- remove extra space
- split SGI compiler check. One for MIPS C and another for MIPSpro C
- LCC compiler adjustments:
Warning level reduced from double -A to single -A
- Initial attempt to detect Tiny C compiler
- Initial attempt to detect LCC compiler
- 1) fix bug in CONVERT_INCLUDE_TO_ISYSTEM
2) Disable SGI remark: controlling expression is constant
- simplify SGI C compiler check
- HP C adjustments:
Due to the HP-UX socklen_t issue it is insane to use the +w1 warning level.
It generates more than 1100 warnings on socklen_t related statements.
Until the issue is somehow fixed we will just use the +w2 warning level.
- Add debug tracing for COMPILER_WORKS_IFELSE
- configure will also warn on 'strict compiler warning' rejected options
- convert rejected compiler options messages into a warnings
- remove extra whitespace from string in SGI C check
- oops
- Initial attempt to detect SGI C compiler
- HP C adjustments:
Disallow run-time dereferencing of null pointers.
Disable some remarks:
#4227: padding struct with n bytes to align member.
#4255: padding size of struct with n bytes to alignment boundary.
- improve presentation of accepted/rejected debug/optimizer options
- refactoring of COMPILER_BASIC_OPTS
- Initial attempt to detect SUN C compiler
- Initial attempt to detect HP C compiler
- fix compiler warning: 'dot_4' may be used uninitialized in this function
- adjust ICC_windows settings
- fix VAR_STRIP
- Sync up with reality
- Initial attempt to support configure's --(dis|en)able-optimize
option to specify dis(activation) of compiler optimizations.
If option is specified, it will be honored independant of the
--(dis|en)able-debug option.
- fix comment
- Initial attempt to support configure's --(dis|en)able-warnings
option to specify dis(activation) of picky compiler warnings.
If option is specified, it will be honored independant of the
--(dis|en)able-debug option.
If option is not specified, it will follow --(dis|en)able-debug
setting, whose default is disabled if not specified.
- fix compiler warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules
- now compiler warnings are activated for all gcc builds, not only debug ones.
- Use CFLAGS for icc linker options instead of LDFLAGS,
otherwise gethostbyname() is not detected.
- use ac_cv_compiler and ac_cv_compiler_num to keep compiler ID and version number
- Temporary icc adjustment:
Disable floating point optimizations
- HAVE_INET_PTON will only be defined when an IPv6 capable working
inet_pton function is available.
- HAVE_INET_NTOP will only be defined when an IPv6 capable working
inet_ntop function is available.
- ntoa() and inet_ntoa_r() no longer used
- icc adjustments for icc 9.0 and prior versions:
Disable remark #279: controlling expression is constant
Remark triggered mostly on va_arg() and FD_ZERO() macros.
- attempt to make work the gethostname function
check for winsock build target configurations
Gisle Vanem (21 Sep 2008)
- Added HAVE_NETDB_H, HAVE_ARPA_INET_H, HAVE_STRCASECMP
and HAVE_STRNCASECMP.
