Historically, the inline keyword was a strong suggestion to the compiler
that it should inline the function marked inline. As compilers became
better at optimising, this functionality has receded, and using inline
as a suggestion to inline a function is obsolete. The compiler will
happily ignore it and inline something else entirely if it finds that's
a better optimisation.
Therefore, remove all the occurences of the inline keyword with static
functions inside single compilation unit and leave the decision whether
to inline a function or not entirely on the compiler
NOTE: We keep the usage the inline keyword when the purpose is to change
the linkage behaviour.
(cherry picked from commit 20f0936cf2)
This commit converts the license handling to adhere to the REUSE
specification. It specifically:
1. Adds used licnses to LICENSES/ directory
2. Add "isc" template for adding the copyright boilerplate
3. Changes all source files to include copyright and SPDX license
header, this includes all the C sources, documentation, zone files,
configuration files. There are notes in the doc/dev/copyrights file
on how to add correct headers to the new files.
4. Handle the rest that can't be modified via .reuse/dep5 file. The
binary (or otherwise unmodifiable) files could have license places
next to them in <foo>.license file, but this would lead to cluttered
repository and most of the files handled in the .reuse/dep5 file are
system test files.
Also disable the semantic patch as the code needs tweaks here and there because
some destroy functions might not destroy the object and return early if the
object is still in use.
Mostly, several functions that take pointers as arguments, almost
always char * pointers, had those pointers qualified with "const".
Those that returned pointers to previously const-qualified arguments
had their return values qualified as const. Some structure members
were qualified as const to retain that attribute from the variables
from which they were assigned.
The macro DE_CONST was added to isc/util.h to deal with a handful of very
special places where something is qualified as const but really needs to have
its const qualifier removed.
Also cleaned up a few places where variable names clashed with reserved
identifiers. (Which mostly works fine, but strictly speaking is undefined
by the standard.)
Minor other ISC style cleanups.
Cleanup of redundant/useless header file inclusion.
ISC style lint, primarily for function declarations and standalone
comments -- ie, those that appear on a line without any code, which
should be written as follows:
/*
* This is a comment.
