isc_event_allocate() calls isc_mem_get() to allocate the event structure. As
isc_mem_get() cannot fail softly (e.g. it never returns NULL), the
isc_event_allocate() cannot return NULL, hence we remove the (ret == NULL)
handling blocks using the semantic patch from the previous commit.
When updating the statistics for RRset types, if a header is marked
stale or ancient, the appropriate statistic counters are decremented,
then incremented.
Also fix some out of date comments.
The stale RR types are now printed with '#'. This used to be the
prefix for RR types that were marked ancient, but commit
df50751585 changed the meaning. It is
probably better to keep '#' for stale RR types and introduce a new
prefix for reintroducing ancient type stat counters.
- this required modification to the code that generates grammar text for
the documentation, because the "dnssec-lookaside" option spanned more
than one line in doc/misc/options, so grepping out only the lines
marked "// obsolete" didn't remove the whole option. this commit adds
an option to cfg_test to print named.conf clauses only if they don't
have the obsolete, ancient, test-only, or not-yet-implemented flags
set.
Add a helper shell function, rndc_dumpdb(), which provides a convenient
way to call "rndc dumpdb" for a given server with optional additional
arguments. Since database dumping is an asynchronous process, the
function waits until the dump is complete before returning, which
prevents false positives in system tests caused by inspecting the dump
before its preparation is finished. The function also renames the dump
file before returning so that it does not get overwritten by subsequent
calls; this retains forensic data in case of an unexpected test failure.
