The coccinellery repository provides many little semantic patches to fix common
problems in the code. The number of semantic patches in the coccinellery
repository is high and most of the semantic patches apply only for Linux, so it
doesn't make sense to run them on regular basis as the processing takes a lot of
time.
The list of issue found in BIND 9, by no means complete, includes:
- double assignment to a variable
- `continue` at the end of the loop
- double checks for `NULL`
- useless checks for `NULL` (cannot be `NULL`, because of earlier return)
- using `0` instead of `NULL`
- useless extra condition (`if (foo) return; if (!foo) { ...; }`)
- removing & in front of static functions passed as arguments
This second commit uses second semantic patch to replace the calls to
dns_name_copy() with NULL as third argument where the result was stored in a
isc_result_t variable. As the dns_name_copy(..., NULL) cannot fail gracefully
when the third argument is NULL, it was just a bunch of dead code.
Couple of manual tweaks (removing dead labels and unused variables) were
manually applied on top of the semantic patch.
Since commit 0771dd3be8, <isc/mem.h> no
longer includes <isc/xml.h>. On some systems (e.g. FreeBSD), this means
that no header included by lib/dns/dnsrps.c (and no header included by
those headers) contains a definition of free() any more, which triggers
a compiler warning as lib/dns/dnsrps.c calls that function. Add the
missing #include directive to prevent that warning from being triggered.
4713. [func] Added support for the DNS Response Policy Service
(DNSRPS) API, which allows named to use an external
response policy daemon when built with
"configure --enable-dnsrps". Thanks to Vernon
Schryver and Farsight Security. [RT #43376]
