The BIND 9 libraries are considered to be internal only and hence the
API and ABI changes a lot. Keeping track of the API/ABI changes takes
time and it's a complicated matter as the safest way to make everything
stable would be to bump any library in the dependency chain as in theory
if libns links with libdns, and a binary links with both, and we bump
the libdns SOVERSION, but not the libns SOVERSION, the old libns might
be loaded by binary pulling old libdns together with new libdns loaded
by the binary. The situation gets even more complicated with loading
the plugins that have been compiled with few versions old BIND 9
libraries and then dynamically loaded into the named.
We are picking the safest option possible and usable for internal
libraries - instead of using -version-info that has only a weak link to
BIND 9 version number, we are using -release libtool option that will
embed the corresponding BIND 9 version number into the library name.
That means that instead of libisc.so.1608 (as an example) the library
will now be named libisc-9.16.10.so.
(cherry picked from commit c605d75ea5)
Originally, every library and binaries got linked to everything, which
creates unnecessary overlinking. This wasn't as straightforward as it
should be as we still support configuration without libtool for 9.16.
Couple of smaller issues related to include headers and an issue where
sanitizer overload dlopen and dlclose symbols, so we were getting false
negatives in the autoconf test.
Underlinking states for the situation when a binary uses a symbol not provided
by libraries it is directly linked to. The libns was not linked to libisc and
libdns, and libirs was not linked to libisc, libdns and libisccfg) while using
symbols from these libraries directly.
The ax_check_openssl m4 macro used OPENSSL_INCLUDES. Rename the
subst variable to OPENSSL_CFLAGS and wrap AX_CHECK_OPENSSL() in
action-if-not-found part of PKG_CHECK_MODULE check for libcrypto.
The json-c have previously leaked into the global namespace leading
to forced -I<include_path> for every compilation unit using isc/xml.h
header. This MR fixes the usage making the caller object opaque.
- Replace external -DOPENSSL/-DPKCS11CRYPTO with properly AC_DEFINEd
HAVE_OPENSSL/HAVE_PKCS11
- Don't enforce the crypto provider from platform.h, just from dst_api.c
and configure scripts
4503. [cleanup] "make uninstall" now removes file installed by
BIND. (This currently excludes Python files
due to lack of support in setup.py.) [RT #42912]
