`ares_channel` -> `ares_channel_t *`: don't bury the pointer (#595)
`ares_channel` is defined as `typedef struct ares_channeldata *ares_channel;`. The problem with this, is it embeds the pointer into the typedef, which means an `ares_channel` can never be declared as `const` as if you write `const ares_channel channel`, that expands to `struct ares_channeldata * const ares_channel` and not `const struct ares_channeldata *channel`.
We will now typedef `ares_channel_t` as `typedef struct ares_channeldata ares_channel_t;`, so if you write `const ares_channel_t *channel`, it properly expands to `const struct ares_channeldata *channel`.
We are maintaining the old typedef for API compatibility with existing integrations, and due to typedef expansion this should not even cause any compiler warnings for existing code. There are no ABI implications with this change. I could be convinced to keep existing public functions as `ares_channel` if a sufficient argument exists, but internally we really need make this change for modern best practices.
This change will allow us to internally use `const ares_channel_t *` where appropriate. Whether or not we decide to change any public interfaces to use `const` may require further discussion on if there might be ABI implications (I don't think so, but I'm also not 100% sure what a compiler internally does with `const` when emitting machine code ... I think more likely ABI implications would occur going the opposite direction).
FYI, This PR was done via a combination of sed and clang-format, the only manual code change was the addition of the new typedef, and a couple doc fixes :)

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.B ares_getnameinfo
|
|
|
|
function is defined for protocol-independent address translation. The function
|
|
|
|
is a combination of \fIares_gethostbyaddr(3)\fP and \fIgetservbyport(3)\fP. The function will
|
|
|
|
translate the address either by executing a host query on the name service channel
|
|
|
|
identified by
|
|
|
|
.IR channel
|
|
|
|
or it will attempt to resolve it locally if possible.
|
|
|
|
The parameters
|
|
|
|
.I sa
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.I len
|
|
|
|
give the address as a sockaddr structure, and
|
|
|
|
.I flags
|
|
|
|
gives the options that the function will use. Valid flags are listed below:
|
|
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_NI_NOFQDN
|
|
|
|
Only the nodename portion of the FQDN is returned for local hosts.
|
|
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_NI_NUMERICHOST
|
|
|
|
The numeric form of the hostname is returned rather than the name.
|
|
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_NI_NAMEREQD
|
|
|
|
An error is returned if the hostname cannot be found in the DNS.
|
|
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_NI_NUMERICSERV
|
|
|
|
The numeric form of the service is returned rather than the name.
|
|
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_NI_TCP
|
|
|
|
The service name is to be looked up for the TCP protocol.
|
|
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_NI_UDP
|
|
|
|
The service name is to be looked up for the UDP protocol.
|
|
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_NI_SCTP
|
|
|
|
The service name is to be looked up for the SCTP protocol.
|
|
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_NI_DCCP
|
|
|
|
The service name is to be looked up for the DCCP protocol.
|
|
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_NI_NUMERICSCOPE
|
|
|
|
The numeric form of the scope ID is returned rather than the name.
|
|
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_NI_LOOKUPHOST
|
|
|
|
A hostname lookup is being requested.
|
|
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_NI_LOOKUPSERVICE
|
|
|
|
A service name lookup is being requested.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
When the query
|
|
|
|
is complete or has
|
|
|
|
failed, the ares library will invoke \fIcallback\fP. Completion or failure of
|
|
|
|
the query may happen immediately, or may happen during a later call to
|
|
|
|
\fIares_process(3)\fP, \fIares_destroy(3)\fP or \fIares_cancel(3)\fP.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
When the associated callback is called, it is called with a channel lock so care
|
|
|
|
must be taken to ensure any processing is minimal to prevent DNS channel stalls.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The callback may be triggered from a different thread than the one which
|
|
|
|
called \fIares_getnameinfo(3)\fP.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For integrators running their own event loops and not using \fBARES_OPT_EVENT_THREAD\fP,
|
|
|
|
care needs to be taken to ensure any file descriptor lists are updated immediately
|
|
|
|
within the eventloop when notified.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
The callback argument
|
|
|
|
.I arg
|
|
|
|
is copied from the
|
|
|
|
.B ares_getnameinfo
|
|
|
|
argument
|
|
|
|
.IR arg .
|
|
|
|
The callback argument
|
|
|
|
.I status
|
|
|
|
indicates whether the query succeeded and, if not, how it failed. It
|
|
|
|
may have any of the following values:
|
|
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_SUCCESS
|
|
|
|
The host lookup completed successfully.
|
|
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_ENOTIMP
|
|
|
|
The ares library does not know how to look up addresses of type
|
|
|
|
.IR family .
|
|
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_ENOTFOUND
|
|
|
|
The address
|
|
|
|
.I addr
|
|
|
|
was not found.
|
|
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_ENOMEM
|
|
|
|
Memory was exhausted.
|
|
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_ECANCELLED
|
|
|
|
The query was cancelled.
|
|
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_EDESTRUCTION
|
|
|
|
The name service channel
|
|
|
|
.I channel
|
|
|
|
is being destroyed; the query will not be completed.
|
|
|
|
.TP 19
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_EBADFLAGS
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.I flags
|
|
|
|
parameter contains an illegal value.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
The callback argument
|
|
|
|
.I timeouts
|
|
|
|
reports how many times a query timed out during the execution of the
|
|
|
|
given request.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
On successful completion of the query, the callback argument
|
|
|
|
.I node
|
|
|
|
contains a string representing the hostname (assuming
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_NI_LOOKUPHOST
|
|
|
|
was specified). Additionally,
|
|
|
|
.I service
|
|
|
|
contains a string representing the service name (assuming
|
|
|
|
.B ARES_NI_LOOKUPSERVICE
|
|
|
|
was specified).
|
|
|
|
If the query did not complete successfully, or one of the values
|
|
|
|
was not requested,
|
|
|
|
.I node
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
.I service
|
|
|
|
will be
|
|
|
|
.BR NULL .
