I found a small bug in the nl_addr_parse function when being passed the
strings "default", "any", or "all". Currently nl_addr_parse will create
a zeroed nl_addr with a length corresponding to the family/hint or
AF_INET if omitted. This behavior when used in conjunction with the
libnl-route library to add default routes to the system has the side
effect of creating a route to the host address 0.0.0.0/32.
Attached is a patch that matches the iproute2 behavior more closely
where we do set the family but the length of the nl_addr is set to 0.
1. Fix some places where unsigned value compared < 0
2. Fix obsolete %Z specifier to more portable %z
3. Some erroneous types substitution
4. nl_msec2str() - 64-bit msec is now properly used,
Only safe changes. I mean int <--> uint32_t and signed/unsigned fixes.
Some functinos require size_t argument instead of int, but changes of
signatures of that functions is terrible thing.
Also, I do not pretend for a full list of fixes.
Just to shut up clang -Wall -Wextra
One more thing. ifindex. I don't change that because changes will
be too big for simple fix.
- changes the modules hierarchy to better represent the set of libaries
- list the header file that needs to be included
- remove examples/doc from api ref that is included in the guide
- add references to the guide
- fix doxygen api linking for version 1.8.0
- readd doxygen mainpage to config file
- fix a couple of doxygen doc bugs
Replaces obsolete calls to nla_get_addr() and nla_get_data()
with nl_addr_alloc_attr() respectively nl_data_alloc_attr().
Also fixes missing error handling while parsing routing multipath
configuration.
In order for the interface to become more thread safe, the error
handling was revised to no longer depend on a static errno and
error string buffer.
This patch converts all error paths to return a libnl specific
error code which can be translated to a error message using
nl_geterror(int error). The functions nl_error() and
nl_get_errno() are therefore obsolete.
This change required various sets of function prototypes to be
changed in order to return an error code, the most prominent
are:
struct nl_cache *foo_alloc_cache(...);
changed to:
int foo_alloc_cache(..., struct nl_cache **);
struct nl_msg *foo_build_request(...);
changed to:
int foo_build_request(..., struct nl_msg **);
struct foo *foo_parse(...);
changed to:
int foo_parse(..., struct foo **);
This pretty much only leaves trivial allocation functions to
still return a pointer object which can still return NULL to
signal out of memory.
This change is a serious API and ABI breaker, sorry!
